Time consumes my…

JB’s POV

It has been 3 weeks since the girls bullied Omara, and since then I’ve followed her back home. But when I couldn’t finish with my basketball practices early, I made sure to give her a way to get back home safe. So I asked the guys to call on Tina, Bria, and Gia to go and watch the practices. Of course not mentioning my name in the invitations. By doing so I could be sure that they wouldn’t bully Omara again. Sometimes I tried to pay some attention to them so they couldn‘t suspect anything.

During the second week, I almost blew it up, because Tina was getting on my nerves and so I pushed her away shouting “stop and leave me the hell alone!” and I ran away in the opposite direction colliding with a girl, again. I didn’t stop and apologized but kept running towards my next class. That’s when Petter told me that the girl I collided with was Omara. I got scared about Tina’s reaction but left it unsolved because I didn’t talk or looked at her. So I think it is safe (or not).

I have been so messed up lately that can’t stop thinking about Omara. I have some kind of uneasy sensation about her. I can’t pinpoint what’s happening with/to her. I have seen her walk like normal to her home and I have seen her laugh and talk normally to her friends. Apart from a few times that I have watched her get sweaty and lost in her thoughts. I don’t think that she has been bothered, but Tina has been around Omara lately watching but acting, so I don’t know...

***Petter’s POV

I have never seen JB get so attached to some girl before. He has been taking care of, behind the scenes, of course, Omara, that little chubby girl from three weeks ago. At one point during the first week, he remembered basketball practice and he panicked about what to do after. So to make it safe for Omara, he decided to ask Billy, Dereck, and Me to invite some chicks from our grade to visit our basketball practices, of course without mentioning his name. To my surprise and query, these chicks were the same ones that bullied Omara. Their names were Tina, Bria, and Gia. During the second week, JB lost it, towards Tina and ran. He even bumped into Omara without realizing it. He has been watching the chubby girl almost every day with this unknown sensation that has made him uneasy. I think that his in love with her, but he doesn’t want to be with anybody.

***Omara’s POV

For the past three weeks, I have been working hard in school and at home. Since my encounter with the mean girls had made me a bit scaredy cat, sometimes I feel someone following me from school to my house and when I am at school I feel someone watching me very carefully. So I’ve tried to act normal every day in front of everyone. And I think I did well, but sometimes I get too absorbed in my thoughts that I sweat too. I think that I just get too emotional about what had happened during middle school and what had transpired here in high school. Just like when JB out of nowhere bumped into me and didn’t say anything, he kept running away. I was sure he would apologize but he didn’t. He looked pretty angry about something. So that kept me thinking a lot more and even made me remembered the words of those girls. (shudders)

I think to myself that no one will like someone like me I need to move on and live life. That is why I can’t let things get out of hand, and I am on my last straw, so I just let it go. I have better things to do now that I am in high school, boyfriends or new other friends are not my priority. Keep and maintain what I have is my priority.

***Tina’s POV

“Damn that fat girl! I swear that something is about to happen, I know it. It’s been what…(rises her fingers) two weeks since I pushed and screamed to that fat f*king b*tch!”, said Tina. “It was her fault that Joe, my Joe shouted at me today in front of the others!” she grumbles.

I’ve been invited to watch the basketball practice with my girls, Bria and Gia. I love it so much, even though the one who invited us was Dereck, Billy, and Petter. It doesn’t matter, at least I can watch and have him near me, and I can even throw my moves on him. I have been trying until today, he pushed me away and shouted to leave him the hell alone and ran the opposite side of me, and then he collided with that fat girl (shudders out of anger). Even though he did not talk nor apologized to her, it doesn’t matter. She’s the culprit of my failure! I’ll get my revenge.

I have watched that fat girl for a week now. I couldn’t see any approach of her towards JB, she seems to follow my words, but she’s my enemy now. I can’t lose to her or anybody else for that matter. “Time will give me the opportunity, you will see, you fat girl!” I said to myself.
