~Three years previous~
I walked into
my eighth grade English class and there he stood in the same
place he was every single time I walked into that class. He was
standing in the front of the room, messing with one of my friends
who was sitting on the teachers spinning chair. He was spinning
her in circles and then he looked up and saw me walk into the
room, "Hey! Look, the blonde decieded to show up!"
"Jaleel, shut up no one likes you! You continue to act like
a jerk, then I will just have KelCee beat you up." I say to
him, you have to keep in mind, he is deathly afraid of
KelCee.
"Im sorry Bree. I didnt mean it." He says with a huge
grin on his face.
I walk up to him and I punch him in the shoulder. It kinda hurt
my hand, but I did not let him know that.
Me and Jaleel had met through my ex-boyfriend David. They were
best friends and I got Jaleel's number through him and then
me and Jaleel kinda just hit it off. We talked everyday and he
got enjoyment out of giving me a hard time. He was relentless. It
was more then half way through our eighth grade year in Junior
High, and we had just started talking at the beginning of that
year, but I started to have a crush on Jaleel. I never told
anyone because he was not the most popular kid on campus, but he
deffinitly knew how to treat a girl.
Every day after school, the first thing that I would do was pull
out my phone and text him, if he had not already texted me first.
Everytime he would send me a message, I could feel my face turn a
million different shades of red and I could feel a huge grin
appear on my face. He made me feel different, I had never felt
like this before, and trust me i had like a few guys, but no
crush ever made me feel like this. My mom would tease me about
liking him and I would just deny it.
One day, the summer before our freshman year, I told my mom that
I liked him. She supported me. All I had ever wanted from that
day forward was him to ask me out. No, me and Jaleel had not
known eachother for that long, but we deffinitly knew everything
there was to know about eachother. We confided in eachother for
everything. We told eachother everything. We deffinitly were best
friends and we both knew it.
