Behind the bridge of power

Chapter 3

As day goes my frustration and tiredness getting bigger and bigger. Im sitting in math class, teacher ir speaking, but I can’t hear nothing. My mind is everywhere, but not in this classroom. How the hell i can get out of this situation. The bell just distracted my thinking, finally its the lunch break. I get my thing fast and fly out of this class, I didn’t have breakfast today as i rushed out of the house so my stomach is crying right now. As i make my way to the lunch room passing soo many people who give me curious looks, why the hell people cant mind their own business. I rush to the lane and take some tuna sandwich, some fruit bag, crisps and the biggest energy drink i can find. I pay for it and walk to the usual table, as i reach it all eyes on me. I sit down next to Liam and his basketball buddies. I see Jane rushing to the table.

“Lala thats not too much for you?” I grumble as I start eating. From my side I can see my boyfriend Bred coming trough does doors. I can see all girls watching him like eagle. Lets be honest he is dark skin with this all bad boy look, he is wearing today shirt with v-neck like deam he looks sexy. But to be honest he is good looking im not going to lie, he is great guy. We know each other since kindergarten as he was always stuck to Liam. But i dont feel the spark anymore, we are more like friends with benefits without the s*x part as im not ready for it yet. He comes closer and gives me peck as sitting down next to me. “Babe you look soo good today, I cant keep my eyes away from you!” I just smile his way and keep eating.

He leans down and vispers in my ear “whats wrong? You want to talk about it? We can go somewhere quiet.”

I look his way and plaster my fake smile, “no im just hungry and tired, can’t wait to leave this place, this is our last day. And hopefully it finishes soon!”

Everyone just went back to their talking, but i just couldn’t bring myself to join them, how can I. When im only thinking how to get out of all this mess faster. I look to Jane and as quite as possible let her know “today we going again later on, i need to win and get the monay so i can leave and have some cash!”

She looks my way and just nods, I know she will talk with the guy and sign me for race, as I can’t do it mysef, my face is everywhere as my family is well known around this end. Actually everywhere if the person is interested in business as we have it all around the country. You think how can i go there and can’t be recognized, well for starters i never leave the car and the windows are tinted, for second they now me as black bird, thats my race name. Nothing original i know that, but its because my baby is black 1969 and as soon as the flag drops i just fly. Been winning all my races, they probably think im some dude who drives the car, but they can be soo wrong. I usually stay in garage prapare the car, sometimes i go stroll around as people like to disply the cars, I always have some hat on and most of my hair is in the bun as you can’t really see plus its dark outside just the street lights. And of course how i dress, some jeans, black dr.Martens, black lather jacket. Till today nowone seen me in casual wear. Im usually wearing some sundress, or pants with blouse. Anything what dad will approve. But im soo done with all this. I feel like someone is shaking me out of my day dreaming.

“Babe were have you been all this time, I called you multiple times, the bell just rang we need to go to class.” I just smile at Bred, kiss his cheek and pick up my rest of luch as i haven’t eaten even half of it, and walk out to my class.

Day just pases by blur, ive been trying my best to ignore everyone witch includes hidding from Brad too. I just can’t face him yet, how can I explain to him that i want to break up, plus he probably heard already about my marriage. So i rush to my car and wait for Jane to finally get out of her class. I see her coming closer as i shout to her “get in fast”, in the same time i see Brad rushing out of the school and searching with his eyes me, and he spots me. But as soon as he does Jane just closes the door to the car, i dont wait even for her to put the seat belt on as i speed out of the parking towards the garage. I feel eyes on me, i just sideways look at her “miss you want to tell me what was that, I didn’t even put my seatbelt on.”

“Look im sorry, but ive been trying to avoid everyone including Brad. I just dont know how to tell him, i dont want to break his heart, but i dont want to lead him on either. He is Liams best friend, he was my friend before we dated. What if he will stop being friend with me and what if he gets pissed at Liam. I just dont know how to do it. Plus all that mess with my family doesn’t help the situation today. I just want to make my hands dirty and finally get some food in me” for first time she kept quiet, im even scared what going to come out of her mouth.

“Lala listens and listend carefully, if anyone can deal with this situation its you. Even if you have to marry this s*x god, it doesn’t mean it will be forever. Maybe just listen the conditions of this arrangement. And maybe give it a try. If not you can always run away. Anyways this was our last day, because you done all your exams early you have two weeks till graduation. What if you pack your stuff and run away for two weeks fot the starter nowone need to know were you going, you can book everything on my name take my card what ever you need. Today after your race plus your savings from other races, how much in total you have, plus your own golden bank card you can maybe just take cash out of it so no one can trace it. And go somwhere in hiding or thinking. But for starters can you please pull over somwhere so we could get some of those spicy chicken wing ive been craving them for soo long.”

“ Jane you are genius, only thing what we will do we will exchange the bank cards, you can spend how much you want from it i dont mind, plus buy yourself some graduation present. And be useful for once more while i stop for the food, find me some place in New Orleans ive always wanted to go there. Find some apartment for two weeks with garage. And no soul can know were im going only you.” While i pull over trough kfc drive through. As i get closer i already know we are taking the biggest bucket with hot wing some drinks and plus a few burgers. Its not for us only, but for guys in the garage. We stop at the window, as usual they know its me, as we order this at least once a week.
