1.,
Coming from my background I couldn’t fit in
My friends rich and sassy
They did it for clout
Though it couldn’t last coz I knew soon enough they be my past
My world was changing
New discoveries, new ideas, new places is what I grew up in. Mum was always on the run could never blend in. It hurt everytime she made us move because of her failing relationships. Brooklyn was a good place to be not really knowing anyone I just had to blend in. Tired of all the moving, having to find new friends and worse of all going to a new school. It sucks always been the new kid.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
I walked the hallway head down avoiding been spotted by the people whom I actually wanted nothing to do with. My classes were rather fine I guess Geometry been the most challenging. I wasn’t really ready to talk to anyone knowing that the sooner a bond starts the soonerj it ends. I was tired of loosing friends and having to find new ones. I ate my lunch in the library, read some school magazines attended my afternoon classes and something about this just seemed different..,
Did I mention that I met a boy! . Actually it wasn’t more of a meet up but more of coincidence he had the locker next to mine,his green eyes shone with delight so cute and dreaming… Saying a hi to me, exchanging names I actually think I like him,,,
Back at my new apartment my mum was unpacking all our staff I helped her with the remaining staff then prepared our dinner which was the second good thing about this day. I was starving barely eating nothing in school during the lunch break than some fruits I couldn’t wait to dig into this big bowl of lasagne. I actually have a small sister Nelma who is apparently home schooled.
After dinner I went into my room and I just couldn’t stop thinking about Tyron the guy I met in school. I just couldn’t wait for the next day so I could see him again. My week went on well and I made a couple of friends actually two friends Tyron and Nicole. Nicole was a girl in my class and lived in the same apartment with me. We bacame quick friends and everything seemed to click between the three of us.
My mum on the other had had a passion in baking and had gotten a job at a local bakery store where she seemed to spend her day since she wasn’t more into meeting people having gone through so many bad relationships she was actually giving up.
THE PERFECT MAN
I couldn’t bare another thought of moving into a new place due to my mom’s breakdowns,i wanted to change everything this time. I got Nicole and Tyron to help me in my new thought out plan. I started exchanging messages with my mum through Tyron’s computer pretending to be this perfect guy for her. I knew it was wrong but I was tired of seeing mum in that lonely depressed state.
She actually bought the idea that there was a man interested in her and we actually did chat alot. She opened up about her passion in bakering and that her daughters were everything she had her world. It was so sweet but felt awfully so wrong.
HOME STRUCK DILEMMA
Back at the apartment she was excited and spoke to me about this guy who had texted her and actuallygave her the true feeling of love. She was very happy. She actually insisted that she wanted to meet the man behind the computer “the perfect man” as I had named him. This was one big challenge coz actually he didn’t exist so I had to make up more lies so she’d not be heartbroken and decided to make us move again.
It was risky but I had Nicole and Tyron to help. We composed love poems and sent her flowers addressed to her by the perfect man. At least this made her happy. In the latest conversation with her
Prettymom: Hi Benson
Perfect man: Hi,, how are you doing
Prettymom: I’m all fine and actually very grateful for the letters and flowers
you’ve been sending me lately.
Perfect man: you welcome, I hoped you liked them
Prettymom: liked them oh no, I loved each and every one of them
Thanks again. I actually wanted to ask if we can physically meet
I actually didn’t know what to write back so I left her on read. What had I gotten myself into? She actually wanted to meet Benson who I just made up!
I didn’t know what to do from here,, the lie had gone in too deep and it was actually impossible to get myself out of it without hurting my mum.
So was I to tell her the truth and hurt her feelings which would result to us moving again and destroying her dream of going to the Brooklyn baking championship or make up another lie to get this idea of meeting up with the perfect man from her head????
