I knew I didnt want to live here all my life so I had to have dreams.I didnt have to normal teenage dreams, I wanted to go to college and to be rich. Everything was perfect in my life until I felt in love.
My senior year was arriving quick and I couldnt wait. I knew what colleges I want to apply to and everything . I was so excited I was becoming of age and was finally getting out my parents house. My name is Jada and Im from North Philadelphia born and raised in the playground is where mI spent most of my days daydreaming about moving out the hood and being on my own. I just knew that I wasnt gonna live here for long. It was a month left of summer and I was kind of angry because I hated the cold weather but glad it was my last year of H.S.
As I was sitting in the park daydreaming about my future quickly snapped back into reality when I got hit up side the head with what felt like a bolder, I guess since the basketball had so much force in it from flying it really struck a nerve. Funny how the pain instantaneously went away when this fine chocolate brotha was coming my way to make sure I was ok."You cool shawty" Thats all I remember. Those three words made me think of him for the rest of the day. I continue to go to the park everyday daydreaming but not about my future but about him thinking to myself I have to find out his name. Everyday for a week I went to the park but never ran into again. As I was walking home I kept telling myself I have to stop thinking about him, he would never want me,I m a fool.
It was the first day of school and I was extra excited that I couldnt sleep. I could not wait to see my friends for our last year. I woke up bright and early,jumped in the shower ,brushed my teeth,and perceeded to get dress. As I was on my way to school I heard a voice, I wasnt sure what it was saying but it got closer and closer.
"Yo slow down" I didnt want to be late for my first day of school so I kept walking. Then I heard the voice again "I know you not still mad about the basketball incident". When I realize who he was I started to smile and I looked back and it was him. I've been wanting to see him but when I didnt see him in months I just forgot about him. I told him to hurry up because I didnt want to be late. When he finally court up with me he told me how sorry he was about the ball hitting me and I told him dont worry about it. He started to ask me the basic questions like my name,age,and how long I lived around here. Then he hit me with the where my man at. I started smiling because I knew it was sbout to pop off. When I told him I didnt have a man he ask me for my number and I gladly gave it to him.
Finally reaching school, I was kind of upset because I wanted to finish talking to him but glad that he had my number. Since school was about to start I thanked him for walking me to school and ask him what his name was. Me being so damn happy that I was actually talking to him I almost forgot to ask the important question.I thought about him all day in school and hoped that I seen him on my way home but I didnt.
Days went by and still no phone walls from Chad. I thought to myself what was the point of all that if he wasnt gonna call me. To be honest I was mad but I just made myself forget about him for a second time. As I was getting ready for one night my phone began to ring. I thought it was one of my annoying friends so I didnt answer.
Then my phone started to ring again but this time I got angry because I didnt like being bother so I looked at the phone to see who it was. I didnt recongize the number so I answer it. When I heard this deep voice I started to blush. Eventhough I knew who it was I asked anyway just to make sure, and yea it was Chad. "I thought you forgot about me, it took you damn there a week to call","yea I know I've been chillin wit my friends and I didnt want to call you with alot of people in the backround".I love that he had respect for me already cause I hate that. That night we talked until it was time for me to wake up and get ready for school. I could tell I really liked him because I could really be myself. I wasnt quiet like always and I wasnt scared to say certain things around him. He made me feel comfortable and I like that alot. We talked for weeks, weeks turned into months and we was still happy with each other.
Mean while back at school it was time for us to begin the whole filling out college apps. I knew that I wanted to go far away meaning out of state so I filled out at least 12 apps to make sure I would get accepted to aleast 1 out of 12. Everyone was so excited that we were finally senior and High School was finally over. We all couldnt wait to see what colleges we were going to get accepted to , we just hoped for the best.
