THE MEETING.
Innocent soul wrecked.
Jay black a 16 year old black girl and her mother Candice Black a 32 year old women they are new residents at Western Cape in Camps Bay, Jay’s motive is to be the best girl she can be but when she meets Jordan the popular guy at school everything changes from best to worst as time goes by and the hurt caused by him turns Jay into the most heartless girl which drives her into doing things she doesn’t love because of heartbreak. They say people come into your life either for a lesson, a blessing or a second. You came as a lesson and showed me that in life no matter how much we care about the ones we love we should never trust anyone until we know what their intentions truly are towards us but I was just so caught up in the mystery love not even realizing the pain and hatred you causing my soul to be full of and I only realized when it was too late to erase some of the hate you put in me.
Moving into a new neighborhood is the most exhausting and time consuming thing ever I do not like the constantly moving from one place to another every time but my mother is always offered better positions from time to time which is the cause of the constant moving from one area to another. She is a doctor every time an opportunity is granted to her she just ceases the moment without considering how I actually feel about it after all I am just a kid who only has one thing to do every time is to agree on anything even though I don’t like the idea of that thing. I am melanin pigmented with golden brown eyes, slim body 5’4 feet tall with big natural hair that is brown black in color and my mother is slim quiet shorter than I am with a slim thick body she is a goddess I love her so much, my dad on the other hand is said to be alive but his presence is not my mom says he left before I was born he didn’t believe I was his child and wanted nothing to do with me but him being absent hasn’t really bothered me as my mother is playing both roles and that makes me care less about him and why he isn’t present in my life. It has been hours flying and finally the plane landed we reached our destination. We arrived in Western Cape and we were driven to our house in Camps Bay the place looks so magnificently beautiful the landscape the atmosphere is so nurturing. Truly speaking it is one of the best places me and my mother had moved too, we entered the yard the garden is beautiful the white water statue, pool, 2 garages and got the tour of the house it is massively big for two people it has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, study room, kitchen, lounge, steam room, gym room, dining room, indoor pool and store room. It is really big but the more space it has the happier I was with it as the tour was taking place my eye caught this beautiful room grey in color with such a huge space a queen size bed and a grey couch beside the bed with a study table, plasma screen on the wall a closet and bathroom and at that moment I decided it is my room. We settled for some few hours since we arrived here in the morning after sometime we decided to take a little tour around the area and get some food so mom passed by my school since I’ll be starting in a day they finalized everything after it all we went to the parking lot as we were walking by the corridors a group of guys pass us and this one guy keeps staring at me for so long it made me uncomfortable so I greet him and continued with what I was doing I knew it will leave him wondering who is the new girl in town? We got to the car and drove to MacDonald’s grabbed some wraps with fries and refreshments then went home. I grabbed the plates lunch was served.
Mom: can I ask you something?
Me: yeah sure
Mom: when we were at the school I noticed some guy looking at you, what is the deal between the both of you?
Me: really mom? I just arrived here I don’t know him or anything about him if you were not my mother I would say you are hilarious but since you are let me say you are starting to lose your mind mom.
Mom: you know I have been a teenager before I didn’t just wake up and be a mom I passed a lot of stages you haven’t, just be wise how you approach some situations please.
Me: I will, I promise. He was really rude for staring though.
Mom: guys stare for one of two reason either they love what they seeing or they shocked by what they seeing.
Me: I just hope it was just shock nothing beyond that.
Mom: I think it was more than shock the time he took staring at you was more than a minute and he wasn’t even blinking.
Me: mom he is white and I’m black why would a white guy want to look at a black girl in that way?
Mom: being black is an honor because you come from greatness and him staring at you doesn’t mean he wants to date you just relax and if he is constantly doing this then something is going to happen I don’t know what but something is definitely going to go down.
Me: I arrest my case can we got do some shopping for the school attire and stationery too.
Mom: let’s go then. This conversation is far from over.
Me: no babe it is over. I am going to change into something comfortable.
Took out some black jeans and white baggy tee with black and white air Jordan’s tied my hair into a messy bun applied a clear gloss and wore my clear lens spectacles.
We got into the car and made our way to the shopping center we bought everything we needed and groceries I even scored 3 kicks that I badly wanted. We got home and unpacked everything even our luggage.
The sound of the annoying alarm woke me up I dragged my exhausted body to the shower took a quick shower applied lotion wore my white school socks, white shirt with the school purple and white tie, the purple and white scorch skirt that is 3 meters from my knees slipped on the blazer which is purple in color with white corners slipped on my white and black space Jordan’s applied my clear gloss, tied my hair into two puffs. Grabbed my Nike bag pack made my way down stairs mom was preparing the lunch boxes for the both of us.
Me: [sulking] morning mom
Mom: for someone who is going to school for the first time you really are tiring my mood imagine what you going to do to the teachers and everyone at the school.
Me: what?
Mom: you going to bore them really bad just smile and reveal this pretty girl I gave birth to please.
Me: I’m not moody or anything I just don’t want to run into the guy from yesterday and lose my cool.
Mom: one thing don’t lose your cool to a pretty guy act as tough as a bunk cake and stare into his eyes that way he’ll see that you cool and not frightened by his charming looks.
Me: I think I can manage that and can we please get going before I arrive late at school.
Mom: now that I gave you advice you think you can handle him guys know how to play their cards right he is going to confuse you till you think there is something wrong about you.
Me: [smiling] I won’t let a guy make me feel less than what I really worth.
Mom: that’s my girl big ups to that.
We opted for the Mercedes Benz for the day. I arrived and made my way to the admin office for the school tour the receptionist offered me a chair while calling the person who is going to give me the tour.
Receptionist: [intercom] can we please have the tour guard for a new pupil in the admin office now please. He will be here soon just wait a few minutes.
Me: no problem.
Why are they assigning a guy to be my tour guard this is going to be take longer than I expected
“We can start with the tour”. My thoughts were disrupted by this bold manly voice I looked up and it was the guy from yesterday I almost fainted. I just stared at him without saying anything.
“Can we go now or you need help with your bag, what’s wrong?”
Me: um no I’m good we can go.
We walked out of the admin office and started with the tour. “By the way I am Jordan North and I’ll be your tour guard.”
Me: nice to meet you Jordan.
Jordan: so?
Me: what?
Jordan: what do I have to do to get your name or should I call you chocolate fountain.
Me: why would you call me that?
Jordan: your skin is so pretty I could even think its chocolate fountain I love it.
Me: okay then you can call me whatever you want can we get over and done with the tour.
Jordan: okay unnamed chocolate, well here are the school bathrooms and by your right side we have our blocks the senior blocks and at the back of the senior blocks it’s the tuck shop and tress with shade for those who want to eat outdoors, here is the school cafeteria when you go down the cafeteria is the blocks for other grades then the library then by the tuck shop going down there are the courts for sports which I don’t think you interested in but there is the pool area by the library and the chess room there is just a lot but as time goes by you will be knowing the school in and out at the back of your mind.
Me: thank you for the tour you not bad at it and for your information I do play sports tennis mostly but thanks anyway have a nice day I will take it from here.
Jordan: take good care of yourself chocolate fountain see you around, don’t let these niggas play with you since you fresh meat.
Me: my name is Jay by the way so stop the chocolate fountain thing and don’t call me fresh meat I may be that but I’m hardcore I don’t let people mess with me.
Jordan: there are hardcore girls you wouldn’t want to mess with too.
Me: not to seem rude or anything but no girl frightens me I am not scared of anyone so you can chill for now.
I walked up to the senior block and got into the science class everyone stared at me including the teacher.
Me: sorry to enter like this but I was told to come to this room
“You must be Jay Black I am your mathematics teacher MRS Wonder.”
Me: pleasure to meet you MRS wonder.
MRS Wonder: like-wise class this is Jay the new pupil please show her some love as she will be joining us you can take a seat feel at home.
Me: thank you mam.
I looked around and the class had about 15 pupils I spotted an empty chair at the front and opted for it.
The lessons went on and break time hit I took my stuff and made my way to the tuck shop where I spotted Jordan and his crew. Bought some candy, cheese Doritos and cranberry juice. Made my way to one of the seat banks by the trees sat and looked in the direction of Jordan while minding my own business and eating my food after a while I got a text from mom.
*Mom: how is school going?*
*Me: it’s going good actually I’m enjoying.*
*Mom: met any friends*
*Me: I’ll tell you all about it at home, how is the job*
*Mom: it’s going so good I am loving it here.*
*Me: talk later love you*
I packed all my belongings and stared at Jordan that’s when I saw that he was also looking at me I kept a serious face not to be tempered into smiling or even doing funny things because of him he smiled I kept the serious face till he made funny faces I couldn’t contain myself I smiled and looked down to my phone.
“You shouldn’t give him that smile.”
I looked back and it was this girl melanin pigmented, short and cute.
Me: and who are you?
“I am Kate in the 12th grade and I’m here to spill the tea about things and pupils in this school.”
Me: okay Kate I’m all ears.
Kate: well where do I start firstly you see Jordan is a no go area he is a player and you wouldn’t want to fight with girls over him but I get it he is hell fine and has a lot of money he’s lives in Camps Bay his house is so big and beautiful he has a little brother who is half black and half white his dad and mom divorced when he was in the 7th grade and his dad got married to a black women and as a result Jordan’s little brother Jake, I know he is tall and white with some nice hair that is plaited into space braids and all but looks are deceiving and he comes with more than trouble and I don’t think that is what you need in your life for now just stay in your lane.
Me: you seem to know a lot about him from his family to his state and personality are you all close or?
Kate: I am the school MRS know it all if you need to know anything about anyone just come to me and I’ll spill the tea but nice knowing you, you cute by the way and take good care of yourself see you around.
She walked up to the grounds I just stared at her thinking about all she said and how I should stay away from Jordan because he is mostly composed of drama and unnecessary hatred but he doesn’t seem to be like the trouble boy for me but that will tell as time goes by. “Overthinking doesn’t suit you chocolate fountain.” Without even looking at the person I knew who it was and my mind was filled with question on what does he want? Why is he even talking to me? His attention was starting to look really weird the way I view it. I turned and faced him.
Me: how can I help you Jordan?
Jordan: I see you made a friend that you won’t need in your life she is not the type of person you would like to know.
Me: I don’t think Kate will be a problem but I think she will help me know the traits of many pupils here like she said “stay away from Jordan he is bad news and it’s the type of company you don’t want to attract yourself too”, so I guess you the type of person I wouldn’t want to know.
Jordan: oh she said that, I guess she still cares after all she was just an innocent soul just like you the only difference was that she was luring me and not the other way around meaning you won’t go through what she went through and how she acted after it all happened.
Me: so something happened between the both of you all back then?
Jordan: let me just say she and I had something going on and she cheated with my best friend so I distanced myself from her toxic energy.
Me: wow that is really bad sorry to hear that hope you good now.
Jordan: I’m good but I think I’ll be really good if I take you out on a friendly date if you won’t mind.
Me: I’ll let this slide since I’m busy and got a lot of work to catch up on, rain check?
Jordan: I can help with the catching up if you come to my house then we do it all there.
Me: you should really get a new player book those tricks are not working on me, see you around, I got things to do.
Packed everything in my bag pack and walked to the tuck shop.
Me: hey can I please have a milky pie ice cream.
“There you go.” I Paid and took my belongings.
Me: thank you.
