Chapter 3: CHAPTER TWO
YASMINE'S POV
I've gotten prepared for school and packed my bags when I noticed I had a crack on my glasses, must have cracked when that pervert hit it off my face.
I just kept thinking that what would have happened if Elijah hadn't helped me yesterday, I couldn't seem to wash those dirty hands off my body, I was so fucking scared
I still feel like I'm being fondled by that dirty- dirty thing in the alley, my mom noticed my mood yesterday, couldn't even tell her what happened
Am I that vulnerable that anyone can just take advantage of me, I'm not even strong enough to defend myself, what if this happens again and no one is nearby to help me, is that how I'd be raped by a low life and nothing would even happen
I'm not even under the protection of my father anymore, it's just my mom now and I don't want her to start worrying about my safety
I stood in front of the mirror, using my hands to trace my glass lens and onto the freckles on my face, I used to be embarrassed by those little dots on my face, but then my mom said that's what makes me….Me
Even when all the girls tease me about it, well all the girls except for my best friend Leticia, she's always supportive of me, I'm guessing maybe because we have almost the same personality which makes it easy for us to understand each other
"Yasmine!, Come down you don't want to be late" I heard my mom yell and I quickly grabbed my bag on my reading table and scurried out of my room
"What were you doing?, you haven't even had breakfast yet?" my mom complained as she squeezed syrup on the plate with pancake and pushed it towards me as I sat behind the counter
"Sorry sorry" I quickly took hold of the knife on the plate and cut out of the pancake as syrup dropped on my shirt, shit!
"Careful so you don't drop…" my mom stopped as she turned to see I dropped syrup on my shirt, "No no, this is what I was avoiding, I don't want you to look rough in front of the whole auditorium today" she used a clean rag to dab it off my shirt
And yeah, lest I forget I'm part of the school's choir and we have a presentation in the school's auditorium today, My school is hosting a fund raiser for less privileged kids and they invited parents, Singing is kind of my mom's thing but she made me do it anyways, I have the voice but not the confidence, that's why I'm always at the back of the choir and I couldn't care less about the stain on my shirt
"Relax mom, it's just a drop" I munched on the pancake, "Chin up" she said as she adjusted my collar
"it's better and….what happened to your glasses?" she placed a hand on her hip with a concerned look on her face
I kept mute for a while as the pancake slid down my throat, "Uh, it fell…off in the bathroom this morning" I managed to say, will she buy that?
She looked suspicious, "Hmn, now I have to get you another one?" she exhaled as she loosed the apron and dropped it on the counter
"No it's fine mom, I'm working now I can get it myself" I dropped the fork and got off the seat, "The money you earn is for you, and I'm still responsible for you….now that's enough" she picked my plate and dropped it in the sink
"bye mom, see you soon" I said as I pecked her as I hurried out to catch the bus
ELIJAH'S POV
I'm in front of Badger high school, staring at the building and just wondering how I got myself into this in the first place, going back to high school.
Sure, high school is a lot of fun for those who know how to make the most of it, Not that I'm against fun but I was bullied half of my high school life and honestly I might say it's kind of traumatizing being back in high school, but I'm bigger now and a kick ass too
I walked into the school's hallways hanging my bag on one side of my shoulder like the charming high school boy I'm supposed to be, according to the email from Mrs. Burbank this morning I'm supposed to get close to a "Marsai Rodriguez or something"
I gave a tight lipped smile as a bunch of cheer leading girls waved at me as they were passing by, "That must be the new transfer student" I heard one of them whisper to another and I just scoffed
I headed to what is meant to be my locker, locker 15, I opened it and saw a pile of books and a time table, "this is going to be one pain in the ass mission" I cussed under my breath
I closed the locker simultaneously as the girl beside me and we made eye contact, it's the girl from yesterday, "Yasmine" I said
"Oh Elijah, wow I never thought you schooled here, I've never seen you" she chuckled
"well that's because I just started, I'm a transfer student" I smiled as I pocketed my left hand in my jean
"Transfer student?, from which school?" she pushed her glasses up her nose a bit as she seemed interested in where I came from
"uh..lon..i mean oxford academy..in California" I chuckled nervously, It will be really hard for me to keep up with my lies
"That's great, I mean the school is wonderful, why'd you transfer?" she asked
"My- my parent moved so I had to school here" I nodded and she nodded positively, "oh well what class are you having first?" she asked and the bell rang
"Wow look at that, it's time for first period" I smiled as I wanted to start walking away
"That's just for morning assembly" she chuckled as she noticed how a guy could be so un coordinated
"Oh well, we better get going" I smiled as she smiled and turned and I followed her swiftly, this will be a long first day.
