Chapter One
First date
“Mom”! “Where’s my comb”!
I screamed out loudly to her. She was distracting me the whole time I was getting ready for my big date with John.
“I hate you your always doing this to me!”
Part of me felt bad for saying I hated her but, oh well shell get over it.
“Here’s the comb sweetheart, I’m sorry for making you wait so long”. She said sarcastically to me.
While I was getting ready, I was very scared; I didn’t know how John will think I looked. Usually he would say I looked fine are nice but, I wanted to look extra special today. I had on some blue skinny legs jeans with a red tight shirt and red heels. While I was finishing getting ready my phones ranged and guess who it was? My best friend, Shakira.
“What up girl” Shakira said loudly
“Dang girl why you all up in my ear”!
“Girl I’m sorry you know how loud I am”
Shakira, what do you want”!
“Nothing just called to see what you doing”
“Well, if you have to know I’m finishing getting ready for my date with John “.
“Girl!”! You know your friend would not appreciate that “.
“Who”
“Diamond ‘
“Well, let her not appreciate it then because she know that me and John been likening each other for a very long time “! I said angrily.
“Shamika, girl you wrong “.
“So let me be wrong, I’LL call you back tomorrow”.
“Bye”!
“Bye”!!!
We both clicked on each other, I don’t care if she is mad at me because if she was in this situation she would have done me the same way. So I’m not going to even let her ruin my day because you know what john is outside waiting for me right now. I walked outside looking even better then I looked before. I couldn’t help seeing John checking me out from his mirror; I knew that he was thinking something in his head. When I finally made it to the car John said,
“How you doing”
I responded back quickly,
“Fine”
“I know you looking fine especially with all that red on”.
“Boy you know I already know that “.
So, when we pulled off john decided he wanted to talk about football so we did.
“You know I play football don’t you?”
“Of course I do, I practically know everything about you Johnny Boy “.
“For real’ John said with a smile
“For real” I said back blushing.
“You know I’m falling behind in my grades, I really don’t what to do”.
“How, they told me that john was a very intelligent man “.
“I am I just need a little help if I want to stay on the football team”.
“Well, if you need a torture you know that I’m always here to help you”.
“That would be great do you know what days you will be available on”?
“Yes, practically any day “I said quickly, fast and in a harry.
“My house or your house Shamika”. John said with a smile.
“Probably yours because my mom’s starting to trip now and days ‘
“Alright that would be cool”
As john finished off the conversation we pulled into the restaurant called “red lobster”. We parked and john opened the door for me like a gentle man he is.
“Thank you “I said with a smile.
“You welcome”
We walked into the restaurant and guess who‘s their my best friend diamond. At that point I already knew shakira called her and told her john and I was out on a date because at that moment she was already starring me down from head to toe. I already knew that diamond and I was going to start arguing at that point.
Chapter Two
The crazy moment
There we were face to face with extreme eye contact. She looked at me and I looked at her but, we didn’t say one word to each other. I didn’t expect that to happen, knowing me I thought we were going to bang it out right then and there but, we didn’t actually she didn’t say nothing to me the whole time we were there . She just sat there and looked at me just looked at me.
“Do you feel uncomfortable’’? John asked me.
“No I don’t why would you say something like that”
“You know with my ex- girlfriend been here and all, I thought maybe you feel a little tense “
“No, I don’t but, I do have to tell you something though”
“What, what is it” John said with a crackly voice”
“The girl Diamond you were seeing, that’s is kind of my best friend”
“You’re bringing up this because….”
“She is my best friend and I don’t want to do her like this”
“Well, do you want me to take you home “
“Sure “I said with an uncomfortable voice.
On the ride home he didn’t even say one word to me until he dropped me off and all he said was bye. I walked in the house so mad I didn’t know what to do. My mom asked what was wrong with me but, I just closed my bed room door in her face. That night I cried myself to sleep because I was so confused. I was thinking to myself keep the best friend you been through a lot with are follow your heart.

When I woke up that early Monday morning all kinds of things were going through my head. Things that made me forget that today was my 14th birthday. Today I had missed my bus and everything but, my mom drove me to school today. On most of my birthdays I am excited and happy but , this one I can tell that it not going to be a good one .
