Beginning of Chapter Four
-My First Love-
~~~~~~~~~
"But daddy wasn't your first love, you had other boyfriends before him"

"When I say my first love, I mean the first person who I can actually say I love and or fell in love with. Completely. Wholeheartedly and I cannot deny it"

:: March, that same year ::

I remember the first day I saw him so clearly, as if it was yesterday afternoon. It was a regular day at school, where I showed up to chemistry class pretty early to finish my homework. I wasn't dressed to impress in any way, like I should've been if I'd known he was coming today. So I wore some joggers and shirt, mainly because it was that time of the month and I wanted to be comfortable rather than classy.

I finished my late homework just in time before class started and watched all of my classmates join me in the room. I sat near the far right of the room and in the back row where I didn't have a partner to share the table with. About 30 minutes into a new lesson on the electron configuration, a knock on the door was heard. My teacher, Mr. Gibson stopped and stepped over to the door to talk to the principal I assumed.

A few minutes later, some new boy walked into the classroom along with Mr. Gibson himself. "Class, we have a new student today. Please welcome Mr...uh– *talks to the boy* Please welcome Mr. Jacob Allen" he said.

The boy turned to the class, and waved shyly. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how cute he was. He was a little tall too, had me staring at him every chance I got before he looked in my direction and I would turn my head as if I wasn't looking.

"Uh, you can go sit in the middle over there, next to Joey. He's the one in the red hoodie" the teacher said.

I screamed inside, knowing his seat would be exactly in front of mine. But sadly I would only get see the back of head most of the time😑. It was still a good thing though, I wanted to be as close to this new boy as much as possible.

I watched him as he made his way over and took his next to Joey, staring at the back of his head and studying his fresh haircut. I really wanted him to turn around, just for a quick second so I could look at his eyes again up close.

"He's so cute" Destiny whispered, but loud enough so the whole four tables around her could hear.

When I looked up at the other tables, I could see almost every girl in the class staring at the new boy as I was. Destiny on the other hand just really seemed to want his attention the most, still poorly whispering to her friends about him and everything. I can't lie and say that it didn't make me feel a little insecure right now. I know I didn't look my best today and now I was feeling more shy than usual.

"God he is so cute, I'm loving that haircut new boy" Destiny said, laughing a little.

Suddenly he turned around and finally looked at the thirsty-ass thots that sat at the table next to his. I saw him smile at one of them, making the girls squeal and wave back. I rolled my eyes in the process, but then watched him look back at me. Letting me see how long and perfect his eyelashes were and how they accented his eyes so beautifully. As quick as he turned to me though, he turned back in his seat from just having a little glance.

:: After School ::

"How was school, bud?" I asked him, looking in the mirror as I drove off from the parking lot.

"Good"

"You have fun? Made any new friends"

"I had fun. We played with the bubbles and catch them in the classroom. I popped one and it was a BIG one"

I gasped dramatically. "It was? And you popped it?!"

"Yeah! I popped it, it was a BIG bubble"

"Wow!" I gasped dramatically. "You want something to eat?"

"Yes. I want MacRonald's"

"Its McDonald's boo, and okay let's swing by the plaza"

"Did you see the new boy that came today?" Kel asked me as she ate her chicken nuggets with James at the table.

"Did I? He's in my chemistry class and he sits at the lunch table in front of mine as well"

"Don't tell me you're on that new boy's ish too?" she looked up suspicious.

"If I was?" I asked, buttoning up my formal blazer.

"I know you are. Just by your excited reaction when I asked If you seen him. He is pretty cute though, a little too cute for my taste"

"Okay yes, I found myself staring at him a lot today and thinking about him even after I left school. What? I can't have a crush..."

"You ain't the only one looking to get with him D, a lot of the girls are plotting. I'd just play ya cards right"

"What does that mean?" I turned around, still wrapping my hair into a bun.

"It means, don't seem like a thirsty hoe and stand out from the crowd. Become his friend first..."

"Yeah don't be a hoe, Diya" James repeated.

Me and Kel both laughed at his outburst. I swear children are so damn nosey though and James always wanted to be in the conversation nowadays.

"James mind your business and eat ya food. Don't say "Hoe" again, you hear me?" I said in a serious tone.

"Okay..." he replied sounding sorry.

"But um-what if one of the girls get to him before I do?" I asked Kel.

"Well, from what I saw today in class–he looks like he's not interested in any of the girls that come up to him"

"You think he's gay?" my eyes widen, looking at her through the mirror.

"Most likely" she laughed.

"Kehlani that's not freakin' funny. Help a sista out" I whined slightly.

"I don't know if he's gay or not okay, I was just pushing your buttons. He is quiet though and he seems like the nerd type to me. Maybe he would be good for you, you need a good boy for a change.."

"We'll see" I said, rushing to give James a kiss goodbye. "Wish me luck though, I'm going to my interview"

"Luck wished. Just be yourself and friendly. You got this"
