Story
Girl Next Door ^.^
Chapter one ‘’Trav, Trav wake up’’ my
little sister shook me, ‘’Go away!’’ I said, I just got from practice and not
ready for her nonsense, ‘’what!’’ I asked, finally sit up, ‘’some people are
moving next door’’ she said jumping around, the last person that rent the house
next door was best friend Juan, his parents move after his big brother Pedro
got shot, now what, I look through my room window which I can see my neighbored
living room, that’s cool right, back then me and Juan would write sign to each
other when out parents grounding us from going outside and used the computer,
well a boy have to find a way to talk to his homeboys. ‘’Yo Trav! Come out
here’’ my new best friend Darrell a trouble maker, ‘’Hold up’’ I call out,
putting a shirt on, put a sandal on and walk in front of my house, me and my
homeboy Darrell have friend since we both made up on the football team and the
basketball team, we were the only freshman made it too which make us feel
special, ‘’What up D’’ I said doing our hand shaking, shake hand, pull back ,
run back, jump and bump to each other, sound cool huh?, ‘’did you see the new
girl that move by your house, I heard she fine, you know what I’m saying you
hit it or I’ll hit it, feel me’’ I
nodded didn’t hear much of what he said, but lost when I see the caramel, thin
girl walking back a front to the house, her short jeans pants show all her
thigh, I never like thick girl but damn she fine, ‘’Yo Trav wake up man’’ D
snapping her finger in my front, ‘’Yo man lets give them a hand’’ surprise by
my own voice, ‘’Hell nah man’’ D said, I push him toward the garage truck and
run up to a light skin woman maybe on her 40s ‘’Do you need any help madam ?’’
I asked politely trying to used proper grammar, ‘’thank you, you so generous
but no’’ she said almost drop the lamp, I catch it for her and put give it to
the pretty girl that I see standing in the doorway ‘’thanks ‘’ she said shyly,
‘’you welcome’’ I said, I was kind of feel nervous which I don’t know when I
mostly get with most of the cheerleader in my school, not proud of it though it
just cheerleader at Hurston high can’t keep their legs close, ‘’thank you young
man’’ the lady said, I nodded, and walk back to my front door, ‘’man that lady
tripping like we was going to stole her cheap ass lamp’’ D yammer, once again I
didn’t hear shit he said we shake hand again and I walk inside my house, ‘’go
washing up for dinner’’ my mom said screaming from the kitchen, the chicken
nuggets already make my mouth watering, I went to take a quick shower and come
sit for dinner, ‘’what I asked, when I finally realize that my mom was staring
at me the whole time, ‘’That was so nice what you done to the neighbored’’ she
said I nodded and put another chicken in my mouth. Chapter twoSchool is tomorrow and for
some reason I can’t wait to get back to school, it been two weeks since Taylor
move next door, yes her name is Taylor, I don’t see her much unless she going
somewhere and busy on busy mode because I have that big American history book
and I think I should reading the chapter, yes I actually do homework because I
need to go to college , to get my mom and my little sister out of Liberty city,
only poor people mostly live there and I can’t see myself after 5 years but
still here. ‘’Hey Trav’’ my little sister Tay
said walking in my room my little sister real name is Taysha Walker ‘’How many
time did I tell you to knock?’’ I asked she just shrug and smile, sit on my
bed, my little sister had just turn ten, finally understand that our father is
dead, my father died when I was 14 years old, that time I was in 8th
grade when they call me on the PC, when I walk in the office I found my mom
seating with her head on her hand, ‘’mommy what’s wrong?’’ I asked her, my
mother never pick me up from school, since kindergarten, when she look up, her
eyes was wet with tears, ‘’It’s your father’’ she said looking away, ‘’what
happen to daddy?’’ I asked squat by her, ‘’He got to an accident and-----‘’ she
answer taking my hand walk out to the garage I couldn’t believe it he was there
two hours ago, he said that he will be back at 6 after basketball practice,
‘’and?’’ I asked worried, ‘’he was dead the moment they found him’’ she said
broken down I help mom to get in the car and we actually spent about hours
sitting in the car, lost on our own thought, even though I was trying to be
brave for my mom but not even a tears came out of my eyes. In the funeral I
stand in front of the casket talking to my father, I didn’t know why I couldn’t
cry but that I made him a promise that I will always do good in school, take
good care of mom and will never stop playing sports, that day many people came
to show respect, my father’s friend and family were there and even the drunk
man who killed my father, ‘’What do you want?’’ I scream when the black young
18 years old boy standing at my parents door, ‘’Look man I’m really sorry for
your lose’’ he said looking down, ‘’Do you think your sorry will help bring him
back huh?’’, for the first time tears come out of my eyes, he pull me through
his arm I actually broke down, I know it kind of sound gay but I couldn’t help
it, I really had missed my dad, my mother asked him to come in and that day I
learn that he had lost his little brother and went out for a drink, he didn’t
want to hurt nobody but himself, his little brother got shot while him and his
homeboys were playing football at the park, when his mom had told him to
babysit his little brother, the bullet was for someone else but it hit the 6
years old boy, that I thought about my 7 years sister who I will kill anybody
who try to hurt her. ‘’Trav are you okay?’’ Tay asked softly there I realize
that I had tears in my face and she was hugging my arm, ‘’yeah am okay’’ I said
hugging her, ‘’Now go to sleep it’s already 9 pm school tomorrow’’ I said
closing the door behind me while seating on my bed listen to music, I see a
shadow on my laptop screen when I look at my window I see it was Taylor who
standing on her living room, looking at my window, I wave hi to her and she
smile and wave back to he, ‘’see you tomorrow’’ she mouth, ‘’wait’’ I said get
on my knees looking for my board and write ‘’what school you going to?’’ I
asked, wanting to know badly, she laugh slightly showing her deep dimples, she
answered me by showing me the number sign, I couldn’t believe that she actually
asked me for my number, I wrote it down on the board, minute later my phone
rang and saidTayTay: I’m going to Hurston High :) :)
Trav: you lyingTayTay: nope you’ll see me tomorrowTrav: cool, what are your classes?She send me a picture of her
schedules which show that we don’t have one class together, her medical class,
awesome, darmn she smart, I look
through my window again I see that she wasn’t in the living room but her
parents what seating watching TVTrav: wow you smartTayTay: thnx what yours?Trav: well we only don’t have one class togetherTayTay: yay I mean oh hell nah. She joked
Trav: I see you going all ghetto on me ^.*TayTay: I’m not ghetto but I have my moments
sometimes, well only when I’m talking to my friend :)She just call me her friend

first block well you I need to make me a new friend since I’m new over there
well bye good night :)Trav: okay gud night see you there.I put my blackberry phone in
charge then go check on my little sister, I don’t want my mom to get off work
and find her still up, when I check her room she was deep in her sleep, but
something tell me that she not sleeping, shoo I do that too when my parents
come check up on me, I still do it especially when I get a trouble, ‘’I know
you not sleeping’’ I said she smirk from her sleep and seat up on her bed,
‘’Nothing I’m just too excited for school tomorrow I’m starting 5th
grades tomorrow next I will be in middle school’’ she said showing all her
teeth, ‘’I know the feeling I can’t for school either’’, ‘’I know’’ she said
pulling her bed sheet over her head, ‘’what you mean you know?’’ I asked
pulling the bed sheet from her head, ‘’TayTay is going to the same school as
you’’ she said smiling, ‘’so what the school is big that doesn’t mean we are
going to be friend’’ I said trying to hide my feelings for her, ‘’true’’ she
answer still not convinced, I walk to my room and get to bed. Chapter three‘’haaayyyy
Trav’’ people would said every time they run up to me, for some reason I didn’t
see TT today, I’m tired to call her TayTay so I give her my nickname TT not for
Trav and Taylor but TT you know what I’m trying to say, most of the students
would hugs their friend, holla at people didn’t see since school end, I spotted
D standing in the fan by the basketball court, first day of school there’s
nobody going to dirty their new uniforms and new Jordan 11 Retro Low, someone
would get beat up if only they steps on their shoes, ‘Hey Trav’’ those cheerleaders
girl sing together, I nodded at them they giggle and turn back to their
conversation, who the cutest boy or who get pregnant this summer or who boy did
they slept with, girls talk, ‘’what’s up Trav’’ D said when he see me, ‘’sup
D’’ I said doing our shaking hands, slap hands, pull it back, run and bump to
each other and laugh, ‘’Let me see your scheduled man I don’t think we have
class together’’ he said I pull my scheduled on my packet and give it to him, ‘Darmn
man what’s up with all those honors’’ he said I shrug then asked for his, D
have all regular class and even failed biology, we only have one class together
this year, English but I’m still honor ugh, I look at him and shake my head, ‘’What
man so you think you better than me now? ‘’ he asked open his hands to get
other people attention, I shake my head, not because I’m scared of D but
because he my homeboy and he just want to get some attention, I put my back on
the fan and stares at a freshman trying to make a shot, ‘’Yoo’’ I called him,
and give him the sign to throw me the ball, ‘’Let me show you how you do it’’ I
said, he smile at me and come close to me to see how I spot my hand on the
ball, I’m 6’1 and still have to grow my father was 6’5 when he died, I always
want to be like him, ‘’first you need to concentrate, have confidence, and
relaxation, that’s the only three tips you need to know’’ he nodded slowly, I bounce
the ball three time, my eyes fix in the net close every things around me and
shoot, it get right in through it , ‘’That’s how you do it’’ I said proudly,
which make me sound so much like my father, he try just how I thought him and
he make the shot, ‘’good job’’ I said play with his hair just like my father
used to do me, I run back standing by D and watch him do the basket one by one
until the bell ring, D and I walk to the class looking for a back seat, when
the teacher call out, ‘’No one seat in the back Mr. Walker this is your seat’’
he said pointing on the first seat, I shake my head, and walk back and seat on
the desk, I don’t get it why is D get to seat on the back he need more
attention then I do, I look around to spot TT but I couldn’t find her, ‘’My
name is Mr. P and I’m your English teacher’’ she said, when someone run to the
class, ‘’Sorry I’m late’’ she said shyly, ‘’You new ova here huh?’’ some girl
behind me said, she nodded then spot for a seat, there was only one seat left
which was by me and I can tell she
didn’t want to seat in the back either she seat next to me, I guess she didn’t
realize that it was me well maybe because she didn’t want to eye other people,
‘’You late Ms. Jackson, I know it’s the first day of school, but after today I
don’t want you to be in late in my class, are we clear?’’ she asked, drop a survey
sheet on her desk, ‘’yes madam’’ she said taking the paper, ‘’Don’t worried
you’ll love her’’ I said, eyeing my survey, ‘’I hope’’ she said without look
up, ‘’yeah’’, I said smiling, when Mrs. P finish collect the survey she asked
us to pick a partner for the school year project, this year I know for sure
that I don’t want D for my partner because all he do is yammering about how
stupid it is or how hard it is to find this in the internet, ‘’Oh wait, you
will be present in front of the class’’, she said going through her papers, ‘’Oh Ms.
Taylor, you with Travis for your partner because he the only other Honor kid in
the class’’ she said, ‘’why she get to choose but not us?’’ D asked, ‘’because
your guys will plan to pick someone who going to do the work by themselves and
expect a good grade and Trav is the only other Honor kid‘’ Mrs. P said ‘’o.o we
have another nerd in the class’’ Kwynn shout from the back of the class. ‘’at
least I have a brain Kwynn, what do you have?’’ I asked turned around to look
at him, ‘’and he can play basketball and football’’ Sandra finished the whole
class crack up, ‘’Shut up Sandra’’ he shout back, ‘’it’s be quiet Kwynn’’ Mrs.
P. said through laugh, sometime Mrs. P. is worst then us, she will try you so
bad, you will never want to come back the next day and she can also be the
sweetest teacher ever and she can teach, through all the thinking I feel a look
burning me, when I turn to my left I see Taylor looking at me, ‘’What? Oh do
you want to be my partner?’’ I asked seriously, ‘’Nothing and do I have a
choice?’’ she asked, I shake my head no, she roll her eyes as an answer I
laugh, I don’t know every time I look at her eyes, I can see pain, someone who
to be happy, someone who need to be hugged and there’s that electricity that
goes through my vain, first time I think about a girl and I’m actually not turn
on, maybe there’s was more to the story, when the bell ring, ‘’can I show you
the way? Anyways we have Chemistry together, if you don’t want to be late again
you should let me walk you’’ I said looking down at 5’4 girl that I can’t get
my mind off, ‘’what ever’’ she said I take her hands and she stand freezing,
‘’what’s wrong?’’ I asked looking at her soft caramel skin, with a blue nails
polish, ‘’don’t make me get beat up of something I don’t want’’ I drop her
hand, ‘’something?’’ I asked, I was offended, a man was just trying to be nice,
any girl would want me to walk them to class, think about holding their hands,
I shook my head and walk away from her, she can find the class by herself,
three minutes later after I get to the class, I see her walking her I look away
like she didn’t exist, she passes by me staring at me I turn to talk to some
girl, she was feeling it but that was my way to ignore Taylor, ‘’Welcome
everyone my name is Ms. Collins and I will be your chemistry teacher for this
year, to start with I want everyone to find a partner, you will learn something
new about them then will share it with the class’’ the skinny white tall lady
said, ‘’do we have to what if you already know them or they too rude and you
don’t want to talk to them?’’ I asked, refer to Taylor, she roll her eyes once
again I hope they stuck one day, ‘’Mr. Walker you have to and I don’t care you
are going to used them as partner lab anyways’’ she said smiling at me,
everyone already have a partner, I already know mostly all of them, Taylor
didn’t have a partner, I seat down and plan to talk about myself as the new
person I met, ‘’can I be your partner’’ she asked, ‘’why would you want to be
partner of a thing, or simple is that you can just find a book Ms, Taylor’’ I
said open my book start reading some random thing, ‘’what ever’’ she said, she
love that two words, ‘’we will start on this side’’ Ms. Collins said pointing
at Taylor, everyone turned to look at her, I can tell that she don’t like to
talk in public, she start playing at her pen then I knew she was shaking, I
used to do that when I was in the 3rd grade, ‘’well I met a new
person today, I learn that he don’t like me called as a thing, and he actually
my first friend around her and on the first day I already offended him, so I’m
sorry if you think I was rude’’, ‘’finish already, who did you met’’ some girl
in the class shout, she look at her and smile, ‘’well his name is Travis’’ she
said stares at me, I smile and nodded, ‘’can I go next’’ I asked, ‘’sure thanks
for volunteer Mr. Walker’’, ‘’well the person I met is Taylor and even though
she already pissed me off on the first day but I think she really cool and
pretty’’ I said, I didn’t know how the last part came out but it was from my
heart, she smiled and look away try to hide her blushing, ‘’no flirting Mr.
Walker’’, the whole class laugh, I knew some girls in the class were started to
give her stank eyes but she didn’t mind, maybe she didn’t realize that, many
people goes tell about people they met. My classes go by fast, Taylor let me
walk her to class well she don’t have no choice unless she want to be late
again, and we even sit by each other, before lunchtime she went to the
bathroom, I asked her if I can wait for her but she insist that I go and she’ll
see me in the cafeteria, I find D and skip in the line, the security won’t tell
me nothing because they think I deserve but not D, which sometimes pissed D
off, while eating lunch with D and hit other three friends, we talk about
basketball, football and how we can’t wait to start the season, only two of his
friends play football with us, ‘’man who you looking for?’’ D asked, I realize
that I can’t stop searching every corner in the cafeteria with my eyes, when I
finally spot Taylor eating by herself in one of the nerd corner, ‘’imma see
ya’ll guys later okay’’ I said taking my tray, and walk toward Taylor seat, she
was put her eyes down when she see me coming, ‘’what’s up with I’ll see you in
the cafeteria?’’ I asked, laughing, ‘’nothing I didn’t want to embarrassed
myself by go seating on your guys table’’ she asked, ‘’are you saying that my
friends and I are too dumb to seat with?’’ I asked crossing arms, and do girls
gesture, she laughed so hard and shake her head no, ‘’what’’ she asked when she
finally stop and find me staring at her, ‘’you have a beautiful smile you know
that’’ I asked, ‘’thank you Trav, why are you being so nice?’’ she asked, ‘’ I
don’t know’’ I said, I really didn’t know it just something about her, I can be
the smart person around her, she don’t judge, ‘’sure’’ she said rolling her
eyes but this time laughing, ‘’ one day your eyes going to be stuck’’ I said
joking, ‘’would you think that I’m still pretty if they stuck’’ she asked, ‘’I
don’t think you want me to answer this, well it’s not all about how pretty you
are in the outside, its you personality that make you pretty’’ I said put a
fried on my mouth, ‘’true’’ she said eating her fries, what I realize that she
don’t put mayo on her ketchup, I can’t do that, sound like I’m Haitian, my
daddy was, so I am, every time we eating outside even at home he will put mayo
on his ketchup, might sound nasty but you should try it, ‘’who is she?’’ Tara
asked, Tara is one of my ex, we broke up on my
sophomore year, ‘’why do you care?’’ I asked her, with a disgusting eyes, ‘’I
care because you my baby’’ she said touching my face, trying to kiss me in
front of Taylor, ‘’look we over okay, and you should start finding your son
father, as you can’t tell me who you fucked with’’ I said pulled her away,
‘’Lets go TT ’’ I order, ’’TT for Trav and Trash?’’ Tara asked, ‘’Nope its
Taylor’’ TT snapped, I knew something I was to go down and I learn that even TT
is quiet she don’t play I took her books and take her hands and left Tara
standing with her belly ready to poke anybody that get close to her, when we
get to the backyard by the court, I start shooting some basketball, ‘’what was
that’’ she finally asked, ‘’why you didn’t tell me that you have some girls
pregnant’’ she continue, I didn’t answer but keep shooting, she grab the ball
from me, and stand in front of me, she was so close she could heard my heart
beating, ‘’she just ex okay, she got pregnant by some mysterious boy and don’t
you it’s too much to learn about someone in one day?’’ I asked but not expect
an answer, she bounce the ball to me then go seat on one of the bench, ‘’main
reason why I move around her after my mom being sick and can’t work and my
father I have to pay the whole bills, I had a boy’’ she said I seat by her, ‘’I
had a boyfriend, he cheat on me with my best friend and even gets her pregnant,
I hate them so much, I would do anything just to get them hurt, I would study
everyday just to win this national competition, where all school would pick two
students to compete on all subject’’ she said, for some reason she find her
self laughing, ‘’did you ever win?’’ I asked, ‘’nope I try once then I lose, my
best friend went and win I guess that’s why my ex boyfriend Terrence think my
best friend is prettier than me’’ she said, I guess she like the T’s too,
‘’would you try if you have a chance to?’’ I asked she nodded there I knew I
had a mission, the bell ring, I walk her to her last block which is medical
class, at 2:30 my mom picked me up, I didn’t have time to catch my school bus
because the basketball team had a meeting and, who will do this or that, I
don’t think I want to be the captain, I’m the football team captain and the
basketball that’s too much pressure for one guy, after that day I didn’t talk
to TayTay until tomorrow on our classes, every lunch I would eat with her, we
would go in the library, do homework and plan to start study for the SAT test,
the only time I spoke to D it’s on our English class or when my mom not around
and he come over to watch TV, ‘’do you know who get Tara pregnant?’’ I asked,
that we actually order a pepperoni pizza, ‘’get over this girl man, she a
bitch’’ he said, I shrug off then take a big bite on my pizza, my phone
vibrate, I forgot to take it off vibration, it was TayTay calling me, I look at
D and show him the phone scream, he shook his head then I walk in my room,
‘’hey TT’’ I said, she still didn’t answer, ‘‘TT?’’ I said, ‘’Trav’’ she
finally answer, I realize that she sound like she was crying, ‘’what’s wrong
TT?’’ I asked, ‘’it’s my mom’’ she said, ‘’what happen to her’’ I asked, she
didn’t answer ‘’TT come in the backyard’’ I said, there’s only a fans that
separate us from each other, I told D that he should go, ‘’well okay man se
yall at skull’’ he said, we give our hand shake, he took another slice of pizza
then walk out, I lock the front door and I walk outside with a flip-flop on
with shorts and no shirt, I jump to her fan and there she broke in my arm, I
feel so lost and ashamed that I can’t do nothing to help her, ‘’I’m sorry Trav,
I didn’t mean to take you a shower with tears’’ she apologize, I was all wet
with tears but I didn’t mind, ‘’nah you cool, so now tell me what’s up with
your mom?’’ I asked, ‘’she have breast cancer Trav, she don’t have much time
left’’ she said crying again, she put her head on my chest and cry her ass out,
I find myself crying, ‘’wait how did you find this out?’’ I asked, I heard them
arguing about it, whether to tell me or not, ‘’so your mother don’t have much
time to live and you seat there crying, I thought you were smarter then that’’
I said, she look give me what the fuck wrong with you look, ‘’TT you should be
happy, make her proud for the time she have left, do things you know she would
love you to do, love her, if I a doctor had told me that my father was going to
died I would have try all things just to make my old man proud’’ I said, I wipe
her last tears, she smile. ‘’sorry about your father’’ she said hugging me
tight, she never hold me that tight, she finally pull away then stand up and tell
me she have to go, I jump back to my backyard when I heard her call my name,
‘’yes’’ I said in front of her, only the fans separate us, ‘’thank you’’ she
said and pull me down and kissed me, I kissed her back, then again she pull
away, we smile at each other then she wave me goodnight. Chapter four‘’who
and who else want to go compete, Mr. Walker? Mr. Vasquez asked our school
principal, ‘’Travis this is not a easy competition’’ he said, ‘’I know Mr.
Vasquez just let us try and me and Taylor Wright’’ I answered, he nodded then
stand up to shake my hand, ‘’the school will provide everything you need to win
this competition the school is counting on you’’ he said, I walkout of his
office then take off my phone to text TT, I didn’t see her since yesterday
afternoon.Trav: TT where are you?TayTay:

couldn’t wait to tell TT the news and now TT is for Trav and TayTay, if you

‘’chill okay we can do this, if you just trust me’’ I said she nodded then seat

his death and childhood and end send to TT to put them together, yes I do my
work too, ‘’what is this?’’ she asked when she look at the screen on my
computer, ‘’I’m making flayer to put around the school, if we asked teacher to
recommend their best student on each subject and from every period’’ she
nodded, ‘’then we can see each of them techniques and pick the fastest and
easiest technique to win’’ I said feeling proud about my idea, ‘’good, hi

half joking, she laugh and kissed me, ‘’enough of the mutcha’’ a voice
interrupt us when we turn it was Tara, she had her baby months ago, I was glad
to be there holding her hand even though it wasn’t mine, my mother didn’t
believe me when I told her that the baby wasn’t mine until Tara confirm her,
after the baby Tara and I are cool, she even friend with TT, ‘’hey Tara’’ we
said together, ‘’what is this’’ she asked pointing at my computer, I explain
the same thing to her she nodded carefully, ‘’I know who can help, he soo good
at math’’ she said, ‘’who’’ we both asked, ‘’me’’ she said, we both laugh, not
because it was funny but because we though she was joking, until she stand up
crossing her, staring down at us, ‘’I’m serious’’ she said, ‘okay do this’’ TT
said writing down a math problem, on five min she was done we both look at each
other, then check the answer on Google, ‘’it took me more than 5 min to do this
problem’’ TT said, ‘’welcome to the team’’ I said poking her belly, she laugh,
proud of what she done then take a chair and seat by us, we go over on the plan
and start putting up flayer around the school. Friday afterschool, all nerds
around the school meet with us in the library I was surprise by how many
students that she show up even teachers, ‘’you going to have to talk, I can’t
talk in front of all those people’’ TT said ready to run out of the library,
‘’Chill baby, you can do this, they are nerds and you should practice for our
class project presentation’’ I said kissing her forehead and take her hand and
stand in front of the smart board, ‘’Good afternoon everyone’’ I said with a
big smile, they said good afternoon back, ‘’well thank you for coming, I would
like people who actually master sit this side’’ TT said, pointing at the left
side of the room, ‘’chemistry this side and English or vocabulary in the
middle’’ she order everyone follow her leagues, ‘’we will scheduled each
subject for a different days, people we don’t much time left before the

eyeing everybody, ‘’we will be the only black school compete with them which
mean we have to win’’ she said everyone cheer, ‘’we need to fastest, easiest
technique for each subject, Monday afternoon at 2:30 will be for math,

nodded, and take notes, ‘’thank you’’ she said, ‘’any questions?’’ I asked, the
shook their head no then I pass a paper for them to write their phone number
and email, after the meeting we thanks everyone for coming, ‘’that was easy’’
she said dropping to a seat, ‘’ I know, on what subject you want to compete?
I’m good with English, and chemistry, the math is yours’’ I said, I’m okay in
math but go compete nope I’m better at memorize, ‘’I can take care of the math,
Terrence going to be doing the math’’ she said, with hate and revenge,
‘’earlier when you was talking you sound so much like you doing it for the
school, not for revenge I like this spirit better’’ I said getting up my seat
and start picking up my stuff, my mom will pick me up in any minute and will
also give TT a ride, before her father let my parent pick her up, he had to
talk to my mom and threat my mom that if something happen to her daughter as
her get pregnant, my mother will be the cause of it, if I wanted to be father I
would have been one years ago, and Tara was going to be the mom, I wanted a
family, wife and kids, ‘’sorry’’ she said hugging me by the back, ‘’And if you
still like him why don’t you go back to him instead of making people wasted
their time trying to compete with those other people just because you want
revenge’’ I said without letting her comment I said , ‘’o my mom almost here’’ taking
my affairs and walking toward the door, for a minute I realize that she was
still seating in the library, ‘’what wrong let’s go’’ I said she move slowly
and take her backpack, ‘’nothing’’ she mouthed and move away from me, ’’sorry
