As she recited her poem my eyes expand to the size of two glazed donuts (God why didnt I eat earlier), this is the same shy girl who walked into my mom's coffee shop, yet she seemed really different as she perfomed on stage. And then i'm violently ripped out of my thoughts, when she does something completly unexpected, my heart drops at the sound of her angelic voice sing the A-team by Ed Sheeran"
What exactly does reserved, die-hard romantic, and music enthusiast Rebel Donabane, have in common with assertive, mysterious, and charming Kingsley Rosario? Absolutly nothing.
She's black, he's white. She's sweet, he sees the bad in everyone. She's an outcast, he couldn't be more outgoing if he tried. Of course he's not into the social cliques and hangs out with the fun and kind-hearted, but still manage to be delinquents Kaleb, Russell, Donovan, Luke, and Miles, while she only has two close friends. Clementine Chestnut, and Carter Isley.
But somehow they both seem to get along, like yin and yang. Him being Dark and mischevious, and her being Light and too good its disgusting. Weird how it works..but it just does. And it all started in a coffee shop.
Authors Note: Guys im really sorry, this will be my first book, and i want to see how it goes, not the greatest at descriptions, so read it and tell me how you feel Loves!!!
Many people don't know me, but I don't know who me is either.
I can't tell you if I'm the loud or rude stereotypical black girl because Mom would say I need to speak up. I'm using my library voice with strangers.
I can't tell you I'm the introvert because I like good company.
I was born into a world that judges me before they get to know me. And try to attack the concept of happiness. I need it most in this filthy world we live in. I need you. Because you listened and didn't say a word. Just you being there was enough to make me believe you understood the troubles in my sentences and words spoken in a foreign language.
I want myself back but I can't remember who I was.
