A Day in My Shoes

chapter 2- Rumors has it

My girls and I decided to go to the mall this weekend and go shopping. No, not for clothes for boys. What can you say? We all need a boyfriend this year. We have a homecoming and Prom. We need someone to be our date. The real reason we're going to the mall is to get homecoming dresses. Janeea, Jordan, and Emily have dates already. The only problem is that I am the only one without a date. Rumor has it that Darnell was going to ask me but he hasn't asked me yet.

Even though we have first and second period together, every time he looks at me. He just looks away and tries not to give me eye contact in the hallway. It's like I have a sign on my face that says try me. I dare you to ask me to homecoming. He looks at me with those puppy dog brown eyes. Wait, why am I thinking about him? I don't need a boy to take me to no stupid school dance I can take myself. Cause I am a boss like that . So I asked my mom if she could drop me off at Emily's house on homecoming night . She said she'd take me to her . Now all I have to do is find the perfect dress for homecoming. To make all the boys wish, they asked me out for homecoming, especially Darnell.

" Ah Emily, what about this dress right here" I asked her. She looked me up and down. ", yassss. That is the dress right there. It says ' you wish you were my date to this dance, but too bad and a slut, but not no.'. We all got our dresses and left the mall. I got home and my mom was on the couch reading a book. And I showed her what I got from the mall and told her goodnight because homecoming is tomorrow night.Yes. it's homecoming night. My mom dropped me off at Emily's house. She always throws a party for us before homecoming and they all bring their dates with them, but I am the only one who has no date. And that sucks, but I don't need a man. "Hey Jasmine, your here." yelled Emily.

"Yes, Emily, I am here. Where else would I go?"

I walked in to see that Emily, Jordan, and Janeea had their dates sitting right next to them on the couch. Janeea looked at me and nodded at me to go to the other room. Jordan, Emily, and I went into the other room to talk. "What's up Janeea, you look upset. You can tell us." Emily said?

" I feel bad that Jasmine doesn't have a date and we all know that Darnell was going to ask you to homecoming, but he punk'd out like a little b***h and that was mean of him to do that to you." Janeea said, looking at me. "Girl I don't need a date. Janeea, don't worry about me, you guys go and have some fun with the boys, okay."

We left Emily's house and went to school and all eyes were on us. At least I think they were on us. Oh no, they're all looking at me because they realized that someone wasn't standing next to me. Darnell was looking at me and I was looking at him. He smiled at me and I looked away. I just walked away to the dance floor to dance with my girls. And I was having the time of my life until a slow song came on.

I went to go sit at the table where our dancing was, while my friends danced with their dates.

I was just sitting there until someone came up behind me and tapped me on my shoulder. I turned to look at the person and I saw Darnell. He asked me "Can I have this dance?" And I responded angrily "Sure." We walked over to the dance floor. All eyes were on us.

"Jasmine, I'm so sorry that I didn't ask you to go homecoming with me. I just didn't know how to ask you out."

"Well you could've asked my friends how you should ask me." So me and Darnell were dancing all night with each other. It was time to go and my sister was coming to get me, but she was late like always. I wasn't by myself. Darnell stayed with me and then I got a text from Jenn that said, " I can't come and get you. I'm stuck in traffic so sorry." I told Darnell I had no ride, so he told me that he could give me a ride to my house.

So Darnell was being a gentleman by giving me a ride home, so I texted my sister and told her not to worry. I had a ride. Darnell and I were asked twenty questions. We were going back and forth with each other and when I looked up, I was home. He gets out of the car and walks me to the door. We said goodnight to each other and I kissed him on his lips and said bye and walked into the house.

When I walked into the house and saw my mom and sister on the couch waiting for me to go in,

"Hey mom, Jenn what's up." I said, smiling from ear to ear.

"Nothing much how was that kiss you laid on that boy." I gave my mom the emoji face?.

"You saw that mom. I didn't mean for you to see that. Are you mad at me?" she looked at me and started screaming in joy." YOU HAD YOUR FIRST KISS OMG!!!!!!! I am so happy, so what is his name?"

"His name is Darnell and he is a really good kisser. Well, I am going to bed. I will see you guys in the morning." as I walked up the stairs.
