The darker it gets

Chapter 2

Hooray! It's that time of year. This morning, I woke up early eager to get to school and remind everyone about my party tonight, which will take place from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. I am hoping that everyone will attend, especially my friends. The fact that I am almost certain that my mother will not be attending makes me sad, I suppose she will video call me again just like last year. After getting dressed and going to the bus stop, I am pleasantly surprised to find Uncle Tom waiting at my gate. He comes out of the car and opens the door for me, I feel like a princess as I get in. "My lady," he addresses me when as he opens the door. We arrive at school, and while I still enjoy being called "my lady", this drive became much shorter today for some mysterious reason. As soon as I saw my friend, Layla, my mood brightened even more, so I rushed to her all excited but when we met, she had a frowny face "what's the wrong friend. Why such a mood on such a beautiful day as this?" She starts to cry, now I am really worried. "Charles and I just had a fight. I accused him of cheating because last night I saw him hanging out with Belinda in the mall. Upon confronting him this morning, he said they were both there because their families had a family diner, and that now they are considered family because Charles's big brother is marrying Belinda's sister. I feel stupid". Charles and Layla have been dating for two and half years and I have never seen Layla cry. When I reassure her, the bell rings. As I try to lift up her spirit, I recount the party I am going to have tonight, lucky for us, we bumped into a group of friends whom I reminded of the event. The football boys will also attend the party since it seems like everyone except Gail is going, so I will have to be beautiful. "Would you please be so kind as to share with all of us what's on your mind, Miss Smith? It seems more interesting than the material I'm teaching."  Oh my gosh, I forgot that I am in class. I do not even remember the word or equation Mr. Dickson said at the beginning of the class. What am I going to say to him now? I decide to keep quiet and he continues with his math. I am not good at math and don’t even have an interest in it. As long as I get 50%, it is fine by me. Anyways I want to be a fashion designer and I do not need math in doing so. The bell rings and we now have to go to the science lab( rolling eyes), God has forsaken me this early morning. We are busy compounding and I am not getting any equation right, it magnesium this and that, I don’t know what’s going on. This class is taking a long, I am already fed up with it. Sam whispers “can not wait to see what you will be wearing for the event, please have mercy on me don’t be too sexy” I smile and he smiles back. Sam is the football team’s captain and the handsome guy in school like every girl wishes to have him. Now my biggest goal is to be the sexiest I can be. Game on! I tell Layla and we decide to bunk school and go to the mall. We waited for the security to go to the bathroom and quickly ran out. As soon as we arrived at the mall, the first place we went was the tattoo parlor, where I got a cat paw tattoo on my left breast. This was because I wanted to be able to cover it when I went to school and from my mom. Afterward, we went to our friend Frank, who works at the piercing store. Since we already had an appointment with Frank, we didn't pierce at the previous store. Layla and I got a nose ring and a bell ring. Sam is a guy who likes badass girls, so I am trying to prove to him that I can also be a badass sometimes. There is no doubt that tonight I will be wearing one of the sexiest dresses I have ever worn, and all the boys will be staring at me, they won't have a choice. As we wandered around the mall, the security was chasing us all day, and then I went back home to start my make-up and decorations. My uncle Tom arranged for me to have a function coordinator. I hear him shouting at his staff as time runs out. I am astonished by the décor and the aroma of food when I go downstairs to check how things were going. And to my surprise, all this was done in just a few hours. I am still not dressed, but I hear guests arriving and they seem to be filling up quickly. Put on my black, short, sexy, and revealing dress along with my necklace and earrings. As I walked down the stairs, all eyes were on me. I could see Sam drooling in the corner of the room. I go straight past him and went to Layla who praises my braveness of wearing such a dress in front of everyone. I know I will be the talk of tomorrow at school but I feel like it will be worth it. Sam approaches us and greets me with so much charm. He is wearing grey formal trousers and an unbuttoned black shirt,  showing a bit of his chest. At that moment I find myself daydreaming about how I would like to tear up his shirt and see his six-packs, in that mist, Layla bumps me on the shoulder and I come back to reality. She goes to get herself a drink, leaving me with Sam. From my observing everyone is enjoying the drinks and music so I go with Sam to a cozy spot. “Melissa you are not fair I told you not to be sexy , now everybody will be talking about how Sam drooled after you when Melissa walk down the stairs” This made me blush. "Well, thank you I will consider that as a compliment." "I hope you don't mind if I take a look at your tattoo." I nod and he slides my dress down revealing half of my breast and slowly moved his hand over my tattoo. It was an intense moment for me, it got me breathing heavily. When I looked into his eyes and he leaned towards me, I felt my pulse race knowing I was about to kiss the popular kid at school. While we kissed, I could hear his breathing change and felt his hand going up my thighs. That made me jump, because it is the first time a boy has touched me on my thighs, and that just confirmed that I am a virgin, which I didn't want him to see. "I am sorry if I upset you. Did I make you uncomfortable? I didn't mean to cross any boundaries" "No, you're not jumping anything, I'm really enjoying it." Smiling he leans on again and we kiss intensely and I unconsciously unbutton his shirt sliding my hands down his six-pack and up his broad chest. Things heated up quickly, as he unzips my dress and slowly lays me down. At this moment I am completely unaware of the surrounding. “What’s going on here!”
