Tough Love Part 58
Hey yâ??all! 1212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212 Chapter 58 Dirrty Measures I woke up with a feeling of excitement, and had a thirst of what was coming next. â??Boy, what will I wear today?â? I say. Until this morning, I realize that hadnâ??t even ironed my clothes for this week. Well, oh well, I can get Michael to pick me up and Iâ??ll get an early start on it today. â??Michael?â? â??Yep?â? â??Think you can pick me up today from school?â? â??What. Youâ??re boyfriend canâ??t take you?â? Then he smirks. â??He doesnâ??t even have his license yet,â? I say. His dad is old school about a lot and heâ??ll get his license when heâ??s seventeen instead. But for me, I just havenâ??t got them. Sometimes I donâ??t feel I even need them. â??I canâ??t.â? He puts his plate in the sink. â??But WHY?â? He sighs. â??Jan and I are spending the afternoon together.â? He looks at me and I think he wanted to see my expression. Well since it was just Janetâ??and really it isnâ??t â??just Janetâ??â??I say okay and leave it at that. â??At least now youâ??re right about me having a boyfriend.â? I get my things from the recliner and walk out. I was upset. I didnâ??t even get to give Michael about the details of my hairstyle today. Now I was walking out with diamond studsâ??fake of courseâ??M.J.â??s sweatshirt over my tee, fitting jeans, and sandals. It barely gets cold where I stay, so whoopdeedoo! And worst of all, my ride home is gonna be on the bus. For some reason, today, I didnâ??t FEEL like having a ride on the bus. I actually wanted to catch up on some past events with Michael that we havenâ??t got to talk about. Oh well. Now I see why Iâ??m wearing M.J.â??s blue Yankee sweatshirt now. Danielle had finally stopped hiding from Jerome, so now sheâ??s cool around him again. â??Do I recognize that sweat?â? Donovan asks as soon as weâ??the two of us, including me, making it three, girlsâ??got to the table. I look down because I already knew what he was talking about. â??The sweatshirt.â? Luckily Jerome starts a conversation and I donâ??t answer. More surprises comes for him when someone apparently walks up to the table and itâ??s M.J. sitting his things down. The breakfast line is already open. He smiles at me as Iâ??m sitting and goes through the line. I get up with Danielle and Patricia and when I come back and get settledâ??M.J. to my right, Donovan across from me as usualâ??Donovan says: â??So are you over here to ask something?â? he says to M.J. M.J. looks up. â??Nope. Iâ??m over here to eat this morning.â? He looks over at me and back to Donovan with a smile. â??Ohâ?¦I see how it is.â? Things are quiet as Donovan doesnâ??t pay me any attention but keeps talking like nothingâ??s happened. You know how having your special one around you is bad or good sometimes? Right now, things proved to be bad. When the bell rung at 8:10, everyone started to stand. â??See youâ??re wearing my sweatshirt,â? M.J. says with a smile. â??Yeah, you hadnâ??t taken it back. Here,â? I say as Iâ??m motioning to take it off. â??Naw. Keep it.â? He adds. Then we finally hug. Donovan looks at me a little expectantly. Sometimes, we hang by my locker, but I canâ??t do that NOW! â??Not now,â? I tell him. Then I know itâ??s time to turn back to M.J. Itâ??s safe to say that M.J. walked me to my locker and I didnâ??t use the bathroom as I usually do during homeroom. I kept getting secret looks about my hair and my new sweatshirt. Word had gotten around. I didnâ??t say anything; people just speculate and they speculated right. Sherry, Danielle, and Patricia liked it. And I kept joking with M.J. that his hair was longer than mine, for real this time! You should see his! â??No, I like it. Donâ??t change you for me or anyone else,â? he told me. And when he said that, I knew he said that with the upmost respect for me. I smiled and embraced him. He takes my chin and softly kisses me. But he teases me because Iâ??m thinking itâ??s gonna last longer, but itâ??s simplistic, yet beautiful. I look him in the eyes, which are anything BUT beautiful. Just imagine my reaction when I first saw him without the shades! I was like uh-oh! Heâ??s a hot-tottie, but he doesnâ??t know me. Now he does. But Jerome said heâ??ll take us home. Weâ??re driving out the parking lot when Jerome slams down on his brakes. I look up as M.J. does and I see why they tell you to always put your seatbelt on. I was about to. But anyways, I lean over, and itâ??s Donovan in his own car. â??Dude!â? Rome says. Iâ??m so mad that I know my cheeks are red by now. I quickly motion him with my hand to move but he doesnâ??t. He STAYS there! Jerome didnâ??t want to spark attention, so he puts the car in reverse, but Donovan beats him to the other end of the parking lot. â??Why you think heâ??s doing it?â? Jerome asks, but we all know. â??For me.â? I say. â??He isnâ??t gonna move. Iâ??m gonna have to get out and talk to him.â? I say as Iâ??m getting out. â??Hey, are you sure?â? M.J. doesnâ??t have that regular smile. Now, his eyes are bigger and see the worry lines under his eyes. â??Yeah, Iâ??ll be fine.â? I get out. â??Donovan, what are you doing?â? He waits until I get up to him. â??So youâ??re gonna leave me to be with your yellow boyfriend? How damn shallow, LYRIC! And now his sweatshirt?â? He grabs it. I snatch back. Then slap him. â??Go to Hell!â? then I turn away. â??And all I wanted to tell you was that I found out about yâ??all Friday!â? M.J. cuddles me as Jerome drops me off. The next day was weird because Donovan wouldnâ??t talk to anyone, not even Jerome. People knew and I was sick to my stomach about the principal asking. I lost sleep and food over it. I talked about it with my friends and Jerome about it, but I talked to M.J. the longest. â??Heâ??s just pissed. I canâ??t blame him but I wouldnâ??t do that crap to you! That was bull, Lyr.â? â??Not like I can escape him completely. Heâ??s my friendâ?¦.â? â??If he does anything, tell me.â? â??Donovan isnâ??t crazy.â? â??Well is he?â? M.J. basically used reverse psychology on me. What could possibly explain this afternoon? â??If itâ??s something, Iâ??ll tell you.â? â??â??Kay. Night Little Mama.â? â??Lyric will do.â? The only female assistant-principal had the four us in her office. â??Now, I donâ??t know about yâ??all personal lives, and I personally have no trouble with the four of you, other than seeing M.J. play all those sports,â? she briefly smiles. â??At California High, we donâ??t accept this behavior.â? â??Oh no,â? I whisper. â??Detention. This afternoon.â? â??Okay,â? I glumly say. â??Has to be central. No teacherâ??s detention.â? Thatâ??s even worse! And we only get seven chances in all. This is the first time Iâ??m using one of mine. â??Okay.â? I say again. But the worst had to be was that I had to be in a room with Donovan for an hour. M.J. sat beside me and Donovan was across the room in the back. Jerome was on the other end of the same row as Donovan. â??About this Saturday, wanna go to see a flick?â? â??Yeah!â? I smile. The teacher frowns and I put my head down. â??NO talking!â? Great, now I look like a trouble-maker. Dad got notified, now Iâ??m grounded for the rest of the week. So much for talking to M.J. after school each day! M.J. told me his dad was even worse about it. He even thought about making him cancel his date with me! â??Ready for tomorrow?â? Dad asked. â??Yes.â? â??Just be careful. Things might get hectic, you know while trying to handle two events.â? â??I know Dad, donâ??t worry!â? I said. We had jumped from talking about asking Michaelâ??s mom if we could bring food over to have Thanksgiving, but it wouldnâ??t have to be considered the same to them. â??You should ask her in person. Sheâ??ll be slower to tell you no than me.â? Dad said. Michael didnâ??t even know our plot and I was fine with it. I didnâ??t want him telling Katherine and she just shut us down before we get to coax her into it, so I didnâ??t say anything. It was around two when the doorbell rings. I look through the peephole, surprised to see Jermaine. â??Hey.â? I say. â??Remember, the kids?â? I look down and see him holding two baby bags and a jar of dry Similac. I forgot! 1212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212121212 Howâ??d ya like? --Aariyan :D
