Relationship Goal(2)

##Carla##

Monday came around; each minute passed, I felt more stupid for misinterpreting Johny's niceness. I got dressed for school, running late. When I got to the bus stop, Johny was laughing and dabbing his homeboys, and Sarah was standing alone.

Carla: Sorry I overslept

Sarah: I figured it was weird when we knocked this morning. You didn't answer.

Johny noticed us and headed over. I was so nervous, with a hint of anger. He came by and gave me a kiss.

Johny: Good morning

Carla: Morning

Everyone was staring. He didn't care. He was making it known that we had something, but why did He run out like that? His kiss calmed me down, and it made me smile. But I still wanted to know.

Sarah: I like your outfit.

Carla: Yeah

Sarah: I love the curly Bob.

I was wearing skinny purple jeans with a flowery blouse and some vans.

Sarah: No offense, but you look like a girl.

Carla: Haha, I am shocked, too. Haha.

Johny left and walked back to stand where his boys were. It was like that the whole day too. Sure, whenever we saw each other in the halls, He would kiss and greet me, but that's it. Finally, school ended. I knew He had practice, and so did I; maybe we would talk on the way home. The coach informed us of the game schedule we had coming up. We had two home and three away games to close the school year. After basketball practice, I waited for him to finish with swimming practice. He was in both football and swimming team; there isn't anything his not good at. After a while, I saw him coming outside with a couple of cheerleaders adoring him with compliments; he loved it.

Johny: Hey babe, you waited for me awes, you did not have to; I could have found my way home.

I looked at him with the three girls, and I immediately understood.

Carla: You would have found your way home without me, huh? You're free to do whatever you want, Johny; no one is putting a gun to your head, now are they?

I said while turning away. He was so aggravating. I hurried up and caught the bus. He stayed behind with the cheerleaders; he missed the bus; I guess he had plans with them.

I walked home in silence, never mind the local guys complimenting me. My focus was on getting home. When I finally made It home, He was standing in front of my house by his car. I didn't have much to say to him, But I didn't want to ignore him either.

Johny: Carla!

Carla: Qué quieres?

Not realizing that my Spanish heritage had come out, Ouh He was so aggravating, Soo undecisive.

Johny: Take a ride with me?

Carla: multa! déjame pedir permiso.

Johny: Whenever you want to start talking in English, that would make me really happy.

##Johny##

I thought since her hormones were everywhere am guessing she just hit puberty. Within 3 to 4 months, it should calm down, so I will give her some space for now. She is so willing I don't want to get into that too soon; after she calms down, she will judge herself for how fast we went into it. She came back saying, "Let's go."

Johny: Get in the car.

Carla: Obviously, genius

She is so hot when she's mad, especially when she talks Spanish, without her even noticing. "aii manmi!!!"

Carla: Drive!

Johny: Okay, first of all, when I decide to go, I will go; I don't need you to dictate me.

Carla: Ohhhh

I instantly noticed I should of just let her keep talking.

Carla: Am dictating you now?

Johny: Why can't you just be happy with me here?

Carla: When are you here, Johny?

I touch myself to see if I am here. Then replied sarcastically.

Johny: I am here! You know you are such a smart ass sometimes; you don't know when someone is trying to do you good.

She gasped. At this time, I just wished the ground would swallow me up. I keep saying the wrong things.

Carla: We are cursing at each other now!!!

Johny: You see, all you're doing right now is unnecessary.

Carla: Am unnecessary?

Johny: Yes

hurt in her eyes, She calmed down and said

Carla: you know what, you're a pig.

Getting out, slamming My door.

Johny: Hey, don't, that's My baby.

Carla: I'm glad you know what is! Stupid!

She walked inside; how dare she? Who does she think she is? "calling me stupid and a pig ouuhhh" she must have lost her mind. She is officially on punishment. Absolutely no contact. I drove home so angry; all I wanted was dinner and a movie. But no! is her way or the high way. Am crown prince, she needs to learn her place!!

##Carla##

I cannot believe that guy.

Mom: Hi honey

Carla: Hi

Mom: How was the drive?

Carla: We never went

Mom: How come?

Carla: Cause men are stupid.

I said while walking upstairs. The next day I called Sarah and told her that my mom would drop me off this week, and there was no need to knock. I made my way to the cafeteria where Mr-know-it-all was having breakfast, seeing him flee my hunger. I went outside by the staircase waiting on the bell to ring.

Derin: You too pretty to be hiding by the staircase

Carla: Who said I am hiding?

Derin: Excuse me, Ms. Carla, are you hiding? Or maybe avoiding someone?

Derin had brown hair with broad shoulders. His eyes were green. He always looked soft and kind. I bet He knows what He wants.

Derin: Watchu thinking about?

He said as He took a seat next to me.

Clara: Haha, um, nothing

I kinda got tongue-tied there. He never talked to anyone; when girls would walk up to him, He would quickly dismiss them and keep walking. I wonder why was He talking to me?

Derin: Seriously, what?

He said jokingly

Carla: I've never seen you talking to anyone before; if it's not your boys, you will keep to yourself.

Derin: I've been meaning to talk to you, but you always had people around you.

Carla: Talk to me about what?

I said curiously

Derin: Are you dating anyone right now?

His question took me by surprise.

Carla: I think I was, but we got into this big fight, now I don't know anymore. He won't even look at me.

I responded sadly

Derin: No one should ever ignore you.

I smiled my thanks.

Derin: It doesn't sound complicated to me. Would you like to go to the movies with me Friday? I can pick you up, we'll have a nice time, what do you say?

Carla: Ahh, don't get me wrong, that would be soo much fun, but maybe I should see if we are over. Can you give me a few days to give you an answer?

Derin: Don't have me waiting too long; you know am a catch out here.

He said in a joking manner.

The school bell persuaded me to my first period. I can't believe Derin ask me out? He has such soft eyes. He wasn't a jerk like Johny either. Even so, the only one I thought about was Johny. When school ended, I saw him hanging out by the bus pool with his boys. I thought this was my best chance to talk to him. I walked up to where He was standing at. I cleared my throat, letting him know am behind him. The boys stopped talking because they saw me standing there, and he started the conversation over again.

Carla: Babe, We need to talk.

This boy didn't even turn around; there He goes making me feel small again, like I didn't matter. With Stephanie, I stayed quiet but not this time. His trying me in front of your boys now.

Carla: Fine, I guess we are done. I wish you would have told me to my face instead of pretending I don't exist. Not like you care but am going on a date with Derin Friday, stupid ass.

##Johny##

She better not go on that date when I am giving her the silent treatment. "ugh" What is wrong with her? How can she say we over?

Deon: You dumb as Hell, how you just gone ignore her like that?

I ignored him and went on the bus. I don't care about the practice right now. When I got home, I found my sister braiding her kinky curly hair.

Sarah: What's wrong now?

Johny: When I said your friend is stubborn.

Sarah: What happened?

Johny: It started that Sunday. I went to her house, I was trying to keep my hands to myself, but she wanted to kiss me. I left before the wrong thing happened.

Sarah: Slow down, tell me word for word.

I took a deep breath, telling her everything that happened word for word.

Sarah: Did you inform Her why you stopped yourself?

Johny: No

Sarah: How is she supposed to know she didn't do anything wrong?

Johny: Um

Sarah: You said throughout school you only kissed then left her? How is she supposed to know you would prefer her over your friends?

She continued calmly to say.

Sarah: I am guessing Derin asked her before she came to find you, but she wanted to discuss things with you.

Voice getting darker and colder.

Sarah: You ignore her three-time after putting herself out there by calling you babe in front of everyone.

Johny: When you describe it like that...

Her smile became dark and twisted. Bones crackled as she shifted her neck to the side to better analyze my stupidity.

Sarah: If you don't get out of my room, I will kill you with my bare hands. My king.

Her bones kept crackling as she stood ready to move toward me. Not fully transforming.

Johny: One last thing, Guardian

I said in the hope that she would remember her oath of never killing me. The part that says even if I make a mistake, she is to guide me. She stopped walking towards me with blood-thirsty intentions; she turned around and released an energy bomb powerful enough to obliviate the entire block; Grateful, she used her other hand to neutralize it while taking back her earthly form.

Johny: What about the date Friday?

Sarah: Let the domino fall where they May; after they fall, then reassemble them again.

I bowed my thanks and quickly left. Going for a jog, I realized, is due to me not explaining my actions that we got so far apart. "sorry, Carla," I thought. For the next few weeks, Carla has been drooling over this lover boy. I did as my sister said. Her birthday was today. I saw Derin with big bouquets of flowers. I got the cell phone I wanted on my birthday. Unfortunately, it didn't matter now. She did call the house but only to speak with my sister. With each day, my sister looks at me more dumbfounded.

Finally, the last day of school was here. I was tired of her looking happy without me. The legendary end-of-year high school party was tonight. I am so going. I need to get loose.

Sarah: You're going to the party?

She asks me after school.

Johny: Definitely

Sarah: Me too

Johny: Really?

Sarah: Yeah, and I invited Shawn

Johny: I am not looking after you, sister

Sarah: That's fine.

Johny: I Am driving!

Sarah: You're the only one who could.

We got home. After a while, we all got dressed to head out. Shawn came to the house; surprisingly, He had lost the glasses.

Sarah: We are picking up Carla

Johny: If we must.

I said, trying to contain my excitement.

Johny: can yall sit in the back, please.

I wanted her to sit by me. She came in with booty shorts that showed her curves with a blouse Shyly showing her breast but not too much.

Carla: Thanks for the ride.

Johny: No problem, I know your boy Derin waiting on you.

I said, trying to see how close her Derin got those few weeks. She didn't deny any attachment, yet she did not admit it, and she said nothing. We arrived at the party; we had people kissing on the grass, some having intense conversations on the porch.

Deon: Yo, over here

He had a bottle of beer in his hands while waiving the other. I quietly walked over.

Deon: Both of your ladies are here.

Johny: Tell me about it.

Stephanie started making her way to us.

Stephanie: Hey boys!

I could tell she had been drinking. Everyone said "Hey" in a wolfly manner.

Johny: You should go home.

Stephanie: You're not my boss anymore; you won't even touch me anymore. Plus am not here for you.

I grabbed my phone and called her brother, letting him know she wasn't feeling good; he should definitely come pick her up. After 15 minutes, he picked her up. I looked over to see where the belated birthday girl was. She was sitting by the food table, looking at everyone. I walk over to wish her a happy belated birthday. I didn't get a chance to say it before.

Johny: Hey.

Carla: Hello's

Johny: Happy belated birthday

Carla: Thank you, you too.

She was holding her chest, trying not to smile. That's not normal.

Carla: You should get some of this punch. It's terrific.

I looked over to see what she calling fruit punch. I couldn't help but laugh. What she called fruit punch had every alcohol in the liquor store mixed in there.

Johny: That's not fruit punch. How much did you drink?

Carla: About three cups.

I laugh so hard; who comes to a teenage-oriented party and expects actual fruit punch? She is so calm. Smiling without a care in the world.

Carla: Can I go sit in your car? It's deafening in here, and it's making my head hurt?

Johny: Sure.

I walked her over to the car. I didn't want to leave her; Standing by the car as she sat on the passenger side.

Carla: You don't have to stay. I am not a charity case. It's okay if you don't like Me, but don't lead me on, okay.

She moved to the back seat to lay down.

Johny: I would never lead you on.

She started to laugh.

Carla: It's okay am not even mad anymore.

Johny: Well, I mean seems like you moved on quick.

Carla: You're talking about Derin, huh? Your right; I should be able to move on; instead, I told him my heart belonged to someone, and there was no way for me to get it back.

My heart smiled.

Johny: I've been pushing you away because I don't want to go all the way with you.

Carla: Hmmm, I see.

Johny: I didn't want us to go too fast for you to judge yourself.

She is so calm when she's drunk and easy to talk to, unlike Carla's hot temper.

Carla: Such a gentleman. You could have said that before we broke up.

Johny: We didn't break up. We just had a fight.

I sat next to her brushing her hair behind her ears.

Carla: I am glad; I don't like fights; let's never fight. If you have something on your mind, let's just talk it out; the same goes for me. No more silence!

Johny: Good because your silence is deadly.

I smiled for getting my Carla back. We shared a calm, passionate kiss. One that wasn't impulsive. After a while, Sarah and Shawn came to the car. Shawn was no longer wearing glasses. His face looks clearer too. We all agreed it was getting late. I dropped off Shawn first; I was shocked to see how far He stayed. I find it appealing that He would take the bus just to see my sister. I took the long way home, dropping my sister off. My beautiful Carla and me alone now. I did not want to drive in her driveway just in case the Dad was outside; I Parked by this abandoned house.

Carla: Sigh, my birthday passed. I can't believe I Am 16; I don't feel like I've gotten older?

Johny: You did. Some would say you are ripe.

Her lips reached for mine, and we blissfully submitted our tongues to one another.

Carla: Do you want to know a little secret?

Johny: I am sure you'll regret telling me by tomorrow, once you sober up, soo yes, yes, I really do want to know.

Carla: I have a lot of sex dreams of you.

Johny: Oh

Carla: Yup, so much so that I feel as if I already know you.

Johny: You think you know me? Carla, I would fit the entire universe inside of you, making you feel every life force; I'm in my own category. You should trust me on that.

Her eyes were getting low. I thought it was best to bring her home now.
