Friday

Today I’m meeting up with Jake. When I say his name my heart skips a beat and drops into my stomach down. These past few days I didn’t want to think much of it but I’m in love with him. His voice, the tone of his voice, his muscular body, his smile, his laughter and the look on his face when his angry. When I hear his voice I smile to myself, laugh a little, and blush. Well I got a crush on him and don’t want him to know about this.

My mom and grandma are going on a women’s weekend getaway or something. So I took this chance to invite Jake over. I asked my mom if my friend can come over and she said yes but before she left she injected me. Every time she enjects me after a few minutes I get this massive headache and my legs tingle a bit and I felt tired.

I heard a gentle knock on the door and went to answer it, it was a couple of kids going door to door asking for money for charity and things like that. I didn’t have money so I went to search for some in mom’s room.

I went into her room and searched for money to give a couple of kid doing a Charity Fun Run thing. Instead of me finding money I found something else. I gave the kids some money and went back to my mom’s room. The thing I found was the injection and vial, I took a very good look at it. It said that the thing was supposed to slow down the immune systems, and do some damage some where. And it was the one mom was injecting me with. I’m so tired of this. My mom was planning on bringing dad back by using my body and act like nothing was happening!

A few minutes later I heard some knocking on the door. And to my surprise it was Jake. I invited him in.

” So this is where you stay now?”

” Yeah, why do you ask?”

” It’s just that my house is just a house away, meaning I can see you more often.”

” Oh no don’t get that idea.”

” Nomhle, I have been thinking here and… I guess what I’m trying to say here is Nomhle can you be my girlfriend?”

” Oh no boy hold your horses. I’ve only known you for about five days, I’ll have to think about it.”

And he leaned in and kissed me. I can’t believe it. , I didn’t think his lips would be that juicy, I kinda enjoyed it to be honest. I pushed him back. He looked at me, I saw what I did was wrong so I told him I’ll think about it. He left and before that he told me he’d come back tomorrow for his answer.

The nerve of that boy, I should have slapped him hard. I chose to go to sleep. But every time I closed my eyes I saw his image being carved in my mind. When it was fully carved, I saw I was in love with him. But I couldn’t just tell him.
