I was walking down the hall at school when somebody grabbed my booty. I spun around, prepared to smack back. Nobody touches this booty. But when I turned, I saw his tall chocolate fine self. His braids were like black snakes on his head, falling perfectly on his shoulder. When he smiled, I almost forgot that he’d practically violated me with that booty grab. I managed to say, “What’s your problem?”

His smile widened. “You know you liked that.”

“Is that how you approach girls?”

“The ones I like.”

It took all my power to hold back my smile. He said he liked me!

He pulled his iPhone from his book bag. “What’s your phone number?”

“Don’t you want to know my name?”

“Come on, shorty. Cut it out. I know your name and you know mine.”

I laughed. “What makes you so sure?”

“I’m popular, and you’re one of the finest chicks at this school.”

I liked this dude’s swag. So confident, almost cocky, and a little arrogant. I almost felt like doing whatever he said. Almost. “Hey, before we go any further, apologize for grabbing my butt.”

He laughed and looked me in the eyes. “Are you serious?”

“Of course I am.”

“OK, shorty. I’m sorry.”

“Cut the ‘shorty’ stuff out.”

“Now you tripping—that’s just the way I talk.”

I had him hooked, so I gave him my number. “Call me before ten on school days.”

“What, you gotta curfew?” He laughed.

“No, I have a lot more on my mind than talking on the phone. I have to get my rest. I’m not trying to come to school all tired.”

The moment I stepped in the door, Jay called again. “Jay, what’s up?”

“Been trying to reach you.”

“Yeah, I’ve been kind of busy. Lots of homework, you know.”

“Well, you know you can ask me if you ever need any help with anything.”

I knew what he said was true. Jay was smart and he was taking advanced classes as well. Even though he was a very nice guy, I didn’t want to be alone with Jay. I didn’t want him to get the wrong idea.

“Thanks for the offer, Jay. I will keep that in mind.”

“No problem.”

Okay, so now I’m wondering why he called and if I can get him off the phone quickly. “What’s up?”

There was an awkward silence over the phone and that’s one thing that I hated about our conversations. They were full of awkward silences. It made me bored with him. It was like he didn’t know what to say, or if he did know what to say, he sure wasn’t saying it. Almost like I made him nervous and I didn’t like nervousness—confidence turned me on. DeMarco Mobley turned me on. Finally, I said again, “Jay, what’s up?”

“Well, I just wondering if you would go to the Christmas dance with me.”

“The Christmas dance?” I squeaked out. I knew what he was talking about, but I had to buy time. Had to think of a reason that I couldn’t go. I could tell him somebody had asked me already, but that would hurt his feelings .
