THAT UPTOWN BOY by Belinda Louis (read this if .txt) 📖

his head.
Me:"Besides I don't have time for skate boarding anymore...just isn't my thing like it used to be" I just walked out the park. And the park wasn't that far away from the school. They all just shrugged their shoulders and let me leave. I couldn't stay in there it was already a nightmare.


I headed back to the school parking lot to get back mu car. I drove home and all I did was think about Jasmine(Jasmine Sanders...she's a model people look her up). My dad was watching TV wearing his boxers and his with t-shirt. I ignored him and started walking down the hall to my room
Dad:"Hey Ron come here" I puffed and walk back to him
Me:"Yes dad" I puffed
Dad:" Well I think this should be a father and son moment"
Me:"Yea...." I moved my eyes around awkwardly
Dad:"Well I wanted to tell you...I'm dating someone"
Me:"Really?" I sighed.
Dad:"I know you may be mad at me...but son I need love" he sighed back
Me:"And I need mom" I yelled
Dad:"What is the matter with you Ronnie...?!"
Me:"You...your dating other women and your forgetting my mom" I yelled at him. I had my hands in a fist ready to punch
Dad:" Well what do you want me to do go to her grave and ask her to come back alive....or bring a priest in here with a cross and bring back her soul" He shouted back
Me:"Yea whatever it takes to hear her voice again" I walked out on him and went back to my room. I punched the wall and slid down and had my knees connected to my chest and stared at the ceiling. My phone began to ring. I didn't want to pick it up so I just went and answered the call.
Me:"Hello?!" I yelled
Madison:"Hey Ron it's me Maddy...and why are you yelling?O.o"
Me:"Haha...sorry wasn't expecting a call you know"
Madison:" I bet.....remember our conversation at the party?"
Me:"Well remind me.."
Madison:"I already knew you was gonna forget so why not remind you.....well I told you that Kelly likes you and everything"
Me:"Uhuh...what about her?"
Madison:"Can you believe she's having baby"
Me:"WHAT IS IT MINE....?!!!!!!!!"
Madison:"Aye relax Papi Chulo....Let me finish...anyway your NOT the Father...technically she's been with the kid Ross"
Me:"Ross Brim...that gang banger?"
Madison:"Yea...well she's like so pisses at herself cause now she gotta raise a baby...and she just dropped out of high school"
Me:" Oh damn..."
Madison:"Maybe If she wasn't so desperate to fall in love with him it would never happen"
Me:"Yea your right"
Madison:" Darn...my mother wants to use the phone now I'll talk to you later Ron" She hung up. Madison is my girl best friend I've known since I was 5 and we've been close ever since. And I told her before I left for her to tell me everything that's going on in Cleveland(Ohio) so she agreed and of course she told me. But that's not what I'm worried about. And if this women is the lady who secretly told me she likes my father then I don't know what I'll do. I got myself into bed and I didn't want to worry about thing that happened.


The next morning I went to the office to make sure that the office lady's name who I don't know was here today. Although before I left my dad left a note saying he's out on a date and left me 50 on the table. She wasn't there, I wonder why. So I asked the other lady who sits and inch or two away from her.


Me:"Hi...ummm do you know where?...." I didn't know what else to say so I pointed to the desk.
Ms.Winkler was her name the one who works next to her.
Ms.Winkler:"Oh you mean Ms. Bonner? Well she's not in today she said she was on a date and didn't want to miss it"
Me:"Oh really...well thanks I wanted to ask her something" I lied I was just thinking but then again suspicious.
Ms.Winkler: "Oh sure you can write a note and leave it on her desk tomorrow"
Me:"Na..no thanks but um thanks" I walked out very awkwardly and closed the door very slowly. I saw Jasmine walking down the hallways coming to my left so I started walking fast to my right. DAMN! FAST RUNNER SHE ALREADY CATCHED UP.
Jasmine:" H-h-h-h-h-" she was breathing heavy from running fast.
Me:"Ayee slow down"
Jasmine:"Your friend is getting beat up" I gasped and started to run and she was running behind me. I ran out of breathe and no one was there.
Me:"There's no one here"
Jasmine:"I know"
Me:"You made me run for no reason...you got me scared to death"
Jasmine:"I know"
Me:"Why would you do that...I was ready to fight"
Jasmine:"I know"
Me:"Know you don't know"
Jasmine:"I know"
Me:"Would you stop saying that?"
Jasmine:"NO."
Jasmine:"Okay sorry. But I had a reason to lie"
Me:"Why?"
Jasmine:"Cause I knew it would make you talk to me....well let me talk to right now"
Me:"So you just use my friends to get to me?"
Jasmine:"Look..what I'm trying to say is when I really want to talk to you I never get a chance and sometimes you would ignore me and just walk away"
Me:"Cause that's how I am!?"
Jasmine:"Couldn't you just talk to me...actually hold a conversation"
Me:"We are right now...and this is a conversation I don't see your point"
Jasmine:"Yea just as I thought bad idea" she slowly walked away and her dirty blonde bouncy long straight her started to bounce it's way on and off her shoulders
Me:"Jasmine!" she turned around
Me:"If you wanna talk..all you had to do was ask"
Jasmine:"So how come you wouldn't tell me your name since you know mine"
Me:"I think my name is less important in this conversation don't you think?"
Jasmine:"Okay I'll do this the easy way then" she began walking away even more. I lightly ran after her and held her by her wrist. She turned around by my actions and I stared into her blue-ish grey-ish eyes and I saw my whole future. At that moment I wanted to kiss her. She looked into mine and damn it the bell rang.
Jasmine:"I have to go" she sighed. I wanted to look into her eyes even more and I wanted to talk to her but I want her to talk to me or...WHAT AM I SAYING!!!!! IM CONFUSED!

Donte:"Thought you was low?"
Me:"What are you trying to say?"
Donte:"Hhahaha...nothing so what's up with you and...?"
Me:"Oh well nothing she just walked pass by me and said hello"
Donte:"You can't lie for shit I swear" He started walking away and I followed him. We were heading to lunch so it was only me and Donte who had the same class schedule.
Me:"Hey...did I do something wrong"
Donte:"Nah...your just too slow to realize she likes you and you keep avoiding her man"
Me:" Huh?"
Donte:"She told me how much she likes you...but she wanted to tell you in a different way"
Me:"You've been talking to her?"
Donte:"Yea...I knew you couldn't last so why not just tell you from me"
Me:"Why couldn't just tell me"
Donte:" Nevermind...what I'm trying to say is later tomorrow night I'm throwing a party at my place and half of the whole school is invited...so are you coming" He handed me a note
Me:"I'll look forward to it"

He left as I walked the other way to class. I headed to gym and there was a girl on girl fight with one of the basketball players that was playing with me the other day. Forty-five minutes passed and since it was a half a day I just cut and left to meet up with Donte in the front of his car.

Me:" Like why do you always bring your car when I have a car?" I asked crossing my arms
Donte:"I really don't know...just get in so I can set this shit up" he pushed me in and we drove off.
Me:" So is Ricky and Shane coming?" I asked holding party props in my hands.
Donte:" Of course why not I mean they are our friends" He giggled. We reached his place and I dragged the bag full of party stuff to his front door leaving trails.
Donte;" Dude are you trying to posion our friends?" He grabbed the bag from me and carried it on his shoulders.
Me:" You mean your friends?" Later that night I helped him settle up the house and guests began to come in. Ricky was the DJ and Shane was the party annoucer. Basically the shit they do in clubs to hype things up. I looked down at my watch and it was 8 pm so I poured me some punch and a girl bumbed into me and it spilled over my favorite shirt. She grabbed some napkins as I just told her it was okay. I ran upstairs to the bathroom and washed it off. I forgot to tell my dad about spending the night with my friends so I just texted him and just day dreamed looking at the bathroom floor. I didn't feel like laying in a bathroom tub so I exited out the bathroom. Well If I had known Jasmine was here I would've have stayed in the bathroom. Just seeing your crush with another boy just made me feel used. Even though it's hard to explain my feelings to Jasmine I still try to find other ways to tell her I like her.....but just as I thought it was too late. And that's when I felt something girls feel. HATRED, GUILT, I FELT LIKE MY HEART JUST PUMPED IT'S WAY OUT MY SYSTEM.....THAT'S WHEN I LOST IT.....




Boyfriend huh? Good way to get over me Jas. Donte drunk ass bumped into me and had his arm over my neck talking all this jibber jabber.
Donte:"Ron...or is that your name....I forgot to tell you she's taken bro." he just walked off and laughed and tumbled his way up the stairs. I began to feel weird so I just drunk my sarrows away. Not with liquor or what ever your thinking off. With water yes...water. I didn't cry I just drunk water and sat there. Weird aren't I. You know what they say love makes you do dumb things...stratch that weird things.

Shane:"YEEEEAAAAAAAAAA! PARTAAAAYYYYYY!...." He screamed crowd surfing. Everyone screamed while I watched him just be happy. Shane removed himself from the crowd and jumped off taking a cup from the table.
Shane:"Trix, why aren't you up, and dumb like I am?"
Me:"Unlike some people I have a life?"
Shane:"Oooooo am I suppose to cry?" biting his thumb. Back then that was like the middle finger. I would know because I read William Shakespear's Rooooooooooooooomeeeoooo and Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuliet. Hey excuse my typo It's cause I said like spainian accent. Or whatever. LIKE MASK OF ZORO TYPE ACCENT. Okay enough explaining.

 (A/N: So sorry I haven't updated in a while. I had school to study for regents week and all that bull  but I will try to update anytime soon :) 

  I walked out the party feeling like a dumbass. This party was supoose to be the party when I can finally have a talk with Jasmine. I wanted to tell her how I feel and all but then she was messing with some other guy and left me clueless. Maybe she wanted to play me or...
