style so I just put it up in a bun and let my bangs out. I put minimal make up on and soon I was ready to go. I grabbed the gloves I had to wear and went downstairs to see Chris and Fuchsia, and Eli and his girlfriend dressed up. What was crazy is she was wearing this short tight skimpy dress so you could tell she wasn’t from our school. She stood out like a sore thumb.
“Oh my gosh Lia, you look beautiful” Terry said hugging me. This boy is like a brother to me.
“Thank you” I smiled.
“You’re forgetting something” Chris said.
“Really what?”
“This” He gave me a necklace that had my birthstone on it. I smiled and hugged him tightly.
“Thank you so much” I said wiping the tears out of my eyes. I felt my phone vibrate and I stopped the hug. I looked at my phone as I wiped my eyes.
“Oh, Char is here, she was wondering if we could pick her up since it’s on the way to the school?”
“Yeah, come on lets go then” Chris said holding the door open for us girls and following behind. Terry yelled something out of the house but I couldn’t hear him. As soon as we pulled up, I could tell that was Char. She was wearing a black and silver cocktail dress and her hair was out and wavy. She was holding something in her hands.
“Hey girl” I said opening the car door for her.
“Hey what’s up?”
“Nothing much” I hugged her as she sat beside me.
“I love your dress”
“I should say the same thing, this dress is hot”
“You know, hot people have to wear hot stuff, what’s crazy is I just wore this to homecoming and now I’m wearing this today” I laughed because of the fact she never wears stuff a second time.
“True” I said agreeing with her. “Recycling finally”
“Yeah, and saving my money finally” We laughed and talked the whole ride to the gala. When we got there, we found a table that we all could sit at. The music was bumping and people were ordering what they wanted to eat. I loved the colors they chose, it went with the theme masquerade. I of course bought my own mask while others had to buy one in order to get into the gala. The colors were black, dark purple, a red wine color and Fuchsia. We sat at the table talking and then finally, my song Dance by big Sean came on and of course my friend and I had to go and dance. I left the table and we started booty bouncing in our dresses. I mean hey, I had a poofy dress on but you could still see my ass jumping. Her on the other hand, you could see all that since she had a straight dress that hugged her body. As we danced 2 guys came behind each of t=us and we started to throw it back like what we did when we were in Jersey. Finally the song ended and we were about to go sit down when the guy I danced with stopped me.
“Hold on were just getting this party started” He said shooting me a killer smile. I saw him around school before once but never again. “Hi, I’m Manny” I the guy said.
“I’m Lianna”
“So Lianna, are you gonna dance with me again or go sit down and be a prude?”
“Prude? Are you from jersey?”
“Nah, I stay out there though”
“Oh” I smiled. Luckily, the next song that came on was Amen by Meek Mill and you know I love this song. We were dancing and of course as we were having fun, the principle got on the mic. And we all had to go to our seats. We separated and soon she was calling our names to get our awards. I won 2 plaques for tennis, winning the county finals and the state finals. Then I won an award for extracurricular activities I did. Eli of course won an award for basketball and then Manny won like most of the awards there just for being the best wide receiver in football, forward on basketball, doing community service, and he also got a full scholarship to the school of his choice. I was shocked at how good he was.
Soon, the whole gala was over and we were leaving the party. Chardonnay got the boys number and couldn’t stop texting him. As we were walking towards the car, I heard someone call my name. I turned around to see Manny.
“Hey what’s up?” I asked.
“I was wondering if I can have your number and maybe we could talk” He said smiling. When I tell you his smile made my heart stop it was like that beautiful.
“Uh sure” The whole time I gave him my number, I had the feeling someone was staring me down.
“Thank you, I’ll text you tonight” He gave me a hug and winked as he walked away. He smelled like Hollister cologne.
“Lia, I’m not going home so Eli said hell drop you and your friend off” Chris said halfway in and out of the car.
“Okay that’s fine” I said rolling my eyes. Chris drove off as Char and I got into the backseat of Eli’s car. I was aggravated. The whole ride Eli and Tina was holding hands. We dropped Char off at the train station and I got out of the car to hug her and tell her to text me later. When I got back, I could tell something happened because both Eli and Tina were acting weird.
“So uh, I saw you talking to Manny” He said out of the blue.
“Yup” I looked out of the window.
“So what’s up, yall go out now or something?”
“Or something” I said staring at the houses pass.
“Why do you care Eli?” Tina asked sapping her head towards him.
“I just wanted to know” Eli said in defense. She said Mmhmm and went back to her cell phone. I had to surpass a laugh until we dropped her off. As soon as she shut the door I was dien. He looked at me from the rearview mirror but I didn’t give a fuck. I looked down at my phone that vibrated and it was Manny. I smiled at his message and saved his number into my phone.

Manny and I were really hitting it off. We actually started hanging out during Christmas break when school was out. One thing I miss about Jersey is the snow because at least we would have days out of school from the bad snow storms. The day before Christmas Eve, He came over and sat on the couch with me as we watched Charlie brown marathon. Nobody else was home so we decided to start making out and somehow I ended up on my back and I heard someone clear their throat. I looked up and saw Eli cock blocking. We sat up sighing and my brother came in with mad groceries. He smiled at me and kissed me on top of my head.
“You remember Manny right?” I said to my brother and he nodded his head and gave him dap. Eli was throwing mad hate towards Manny.
“Of course we all remember Manny” He said in a sarcastic voice.
“Yo what’s your problem son?” Manny asked him calmly.
“I have no problem and I’m not your son so fall back homie” Eli said defensively.
“Both of yall just calm all that down” I yelled. Tyler came in the door laughing and stopped as he felt the tension in the air. Eli was standing there with his arms crossed over his chest and his jaw clenched. Manny looked at him with anger in his eyes, I really don’t hope they fight. “Manny don’t do it please” I whispered to him and his eyes softened. He looked at me and gave me a hug and a kiss.
“I’ll talk to you later Ma, I want to see you before I go okay?”
“Aiight” I smiled as Chris came in with the last thing of groceries. I shut the door and went to sit down. As soon as they unpacked everything, Tyler left and the only one in the house was Eli, Chris and I. Eli sat next to me on the couch as Chris sat in the armchair. I could Eli staring at me as I tried to watch the show.
“What?” I finally snapped.
“Nothing” Eli said.
“No tell me since you wanna stare at me” I turned the TV off.
“Listen, what’s up with you and ol’ dude?”
“Who, Manny ?”
“Yeah”
“Why? Last time I checked I didn’t have to ask your permission to date people”
“Oh so you guys are dating?”
“Somewhat”
“Listen just watch your back okay, he’s not the guy you think he is”
“Listen Eli, I like that you want to help me and everything but you don’t know Manny like I do okay? And you know what I just think you’re jealous of Manny”
“Jealous of Manny?”
“Yes Jealous”
“How am I jealous?”
“Because he has me and you don’t, he’s good at both football and basketball and you can’t even compare to him and he’s got a full scholarship to whatever school he wants to go to and you don’t”
“First of all, I don’t care if he has a full scholarship, I don’t care if he thinks he’s better than me because at the end of the day, I have scholarships to go to whichever school I choose and I already know he sucks at basketball, you want to know the truth about him? He’s a woman beater okay? He went out with this girl I tried to go out with and beat her half to death and guess what, now she’s addicted to cocaine and is slow thanks to him, he sells drugs okay Lia, and as him having you, I don’t care. I care for you and I’m trying to protect you but you know what, since you want to be a stubborn bitch and keep flaunting him around me, I don’t think I can protect you any longer” With that he walked up to his room. I heard the door slam and Chris just stared at me.
“Listen I’m not gonna tell you not to go out with that boy”
“Then don’t”
“Yo Shut the fuck up and let me talk, All I know is Eli is a good dude, I know you two like each other I’m not stupid but if that boy you’re with ever puts his hands on you, he better fucking run okay” I nodded my head and Chris left. I got a text message from Manny and decided against going to see him. I turned my phone off and I decided to dodge him as much as possible.

Unfortunately for me, Manny moved with his mom to New York. I made up this big lie about my brother taking my phone and everything. I wanted to ask him if he really did beat women but I was so happy I could be by myself finally. As the months passed, spring finally came. All anyone could talk about was Prom. I didn’t know who I was taking. As soon s spring break came (I know, all I’m talking about is breaks but hey who wants to hear a story about what happens in school 24/7 I sure as hell
