Age Is Just a Number 10

Desiree POV

Melanie, was such a cool lady. No wonder Trey loved his mom. She acted like a real mother to me. She helped me realize that I didn't need my mom. Apparently she knew her from rehab. I felt like I could go to her for anything.

-----

Jazmine and I walked into our high school. We were officially seniors. She wanted to go into Nursing so her schedule was filled with AP classes. Me on the other hand, I had one english class, a math class, choir, advanced dance and advanced drama. Our lockers were right next to each other which was great since we didn't have any classes together and lunch was at different times. We placed our things in our lockers and sat down and looked at everyone walking up and down the hallways.

"Im so glad we don't have to worry about guys this year." Jazzy said. "Its nice to have a boyfriend."

"It is. I cant wait till prom." I said. I really couldn't wait. I could show off Trey then.

"Oh look who it is. Little Miss Island girl." I looked up and saw Simone and her crew standing in front of us. Simone was basically my personal bully since middle school. Yes I was a pretty girl but Simone could take anything about me and make it negative. She didn't like me at all. I didn't know why.

"What do you want?" Jazmine asked.

"Im gonna go to the washroom." I said getting up. I didn't have a lot of confidence when it came to her. I walked down the hall and went into the girls washroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. I re did my ponytail and applied some lip gloss. I felt my phone vibrate so I took it out. I had just got a text from Trey.

My Boo♡: Hey babe, Have a great day :*

I smiled at the text and placed my phone back in my pocket. I walked out the bathroom and headed back to my locker. Jazzy was still there sitting on the ground. Classes didn't begin until ten o'clock so we had time. I sat down beside her.

"So what happened?"

"Nothing. You need to be strong around her. She knows you're scared of her."

"I don't care."

"Why are you afraid of her?"

"I don't know. I don't think Im afraid of her, but Im tired of her. She's been insulting me since I came here."

"You're a sexy girl. Don't listen to her okay? Try not to let things get to you." Jazzy said patting my shoulder.

"Okay." We talked about our classes and random s**t when our other friends came along. Nicole was over excited since she hooked up with Keon. Apparently he loved her soo much that he gave her a black card. She went crazy. We were all laughing at how she was acting.

"And last night! Oh my gosh! He gave it to me GOOD!!! It was amazing. No one has ever had me screaming like him." Nicole exclaimed.

"Okay!!! To much info!" I said. Soon, the bell rang and we had to head to our classes. Luckily, Nicole was in my english class and Tracey was in choir with me so I wasn't alone all day.

After a long day at school, I decided to stop by my grandma's house to see how she was. I loved her so much. She was only in her fifties and was up to date with everything. I walked to the bus stop and waited for it to come. When it did, I got on and started my english homework. Yes, my english teacher did give us homework on the first day of school. I t was just multiple choice questions. Mostly a diagnostic test to see how much we remembered from grade eleven. After about thirty minutes, my stop was called. I got off the bus and headed into the lobby of my nana's condo. I loved where she lived. It was cozy. I buzzed in and walked into the elevator. I got off at the third floor and headed to the end of the hallway. I knocked on the door.

"Who is it!" I heard my nana yell from inside.

"NANA!! Let me in!" I yelled. I could hear her laughing while she unlocked the door. It opened and I saw my nana with a huge smile on her face.

"Oh! My grandbaby!!! Come in!" She exclaimed. I gave her a hug and walked inside. "How are you my dear?"

"Im fine. I came over cause I haven't seen you in a while." I said sitting on her couch. My nana looked good. She had on her red skinny jeans and a black tank top. She kept herself looking good. She still had her man by her side.

"Well I'm glad I can see you. Now tell me wuz de scene baby girl?" She said bringing the Trini side out of her.

"Well, I have a boyfriend and-"

"Wha??? My shy little gyal say she have a man?? Lawd have mercy!!" My nana was such a drama queen.

"Nana, stop it." I said laughing.

"So, tell me about him." She said.

"Nana, he's so hot. Has some tattoos, has swag, ohh he's just perfect. His name is Trey Parker." I said.

"Ouu!! Do I get to meet him? I better meet him."

"Yes you will meet him."

"Good, gotta make sure you ain't with no dumbass." She said sternly. I laughed. My nana was pure jokes. I told her about school, how I wanted my future to be and how my summer was. I didn't bother to tell her about what was going on with my mother because she basically disowned her. My nana hated her own daughter. Everyone in my family hated my mom. After spending about an hour and a half with her, I decided to go back to Trey's house. I said good bye to her and left. I caught an express bus and within fifteen minutes I was there. I walked up to the door and walked in. I did the usual security and went upstairs to see if Trey was home. I opened his door and saw him sleeping. I closed his door and walked into the guest room. I changed into some shorts and a tank top and headed back into Trey's room. He was still sleeping so I quietly got on his bed and cuddled beside him. I felt him move and tighten his grip on me.

"Where've you been?" He asked me.

"I went to see my nana."

"Alright babe. How was your day?"

"It was okay. How was yours?"

"It was aight. I ain't liking you being at school all day. Some nigga could be hitting on you. You better not talk to them or do anything with them. I'll kill their asses." He said. I liked how protective he was. But he didn't have to worry about that.

"Don't worry babe. Trust me, no guys are going to hit on me." I said.

"Good. You my girl aiight?" I looked at him. I realized that his eyes were closed most of the time. I got on top of him and straddled him. Soon he opened his eyes. I leaned into him.

"Mmhmm, I'm your girl boo." I said. I kissed him and he sat up. He pulled me closer to him. I missed his lips. Going at least eight hours without him, I didn't know how I was going to survive. I pulled away from him but he pulled me back.

"Nuh uh baby. I got eight hours to catch up on." He whispered. We continued to make out until Jazmine came inside the house yelling.

"JUST SHUT THE f**k UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE KALEEM!!!"

"WHO THE f**k YOU THINK YOU TALKING TOO!!"

"THE ASSHOLE STANDING IN FRONT OF ME!!!!" Jazmine screamed. There was a crash that made both of us get up and run downstairs. We walked into the kitchen and Jazmine had tears streaming down her face. "f**k you Kaleem!! I hate you!!" She screamed. She ran passed us and ran upstairs. Trey and I looked at Kaleem who was leaning against the fridge.

"What did you do?" I asked him.

"DAMN, THAT GIRL HAD NO f*****g RIGHT TO GO THROUGH MY PHONE!! f**k HER!" Kaleem yelled.

"What was on it?" I asked.

"Remember that night we went to the club, I got this hoe's digits. I wasn't planning on texting her but she's been on my ass sending me messages." Wait a minute, Trey and Kaleem went to a club?

"HOLD UP, Y'all went to a club?" I almost yelled.

"Yeah, but just a boys night out. You ain't gotta worry about that babe." Trey said calming me down.

"Okay. Well, I'll go talk to her." I said. I walked out the kitchen and up to the bathroom where Jazzy was crying her eyes out. "Jazzy?" I said knocking on the door. "Boo? You alright?"

"Just leave me alone." She said angrily. I backed up and walked away. I walked back downstairs and saw that Trey and Kaleem were okay.

"You two need a break." I said getting their attention.

"How is she? Is she mad?"

"She hurt and broken. You need to stay away from her for a bit. Give her sometime okay?"

"But I didn't do s**t!" Kaleem yelled. "Im gonna go talk to her." He said walking away from us but Trey pulled him back.

"No. Just leave her a..YOU SMASHED MY VOLDKA!!!!!!!" Trey yelled. You never messed with Trey and his drinks. He will flip.

"Trey, calm down." I said.

"Okay, first off, leave Jazmine alone. And secondly, you better buy that back." Trey said. I laughed and went to get something to eat. I got some bread, lettuce, and some sliced turkey to make a sandwich. "Aye, babe can you make a sandwich?" Trey asked me.

"Yo, make me one too." Kaleem said. I looked at both of them.

"Hell no." I said. I continued to make my snack.

"Come on. Make us one." Kaleem said.

"Y'all ain't disabled. You both got working hands. Make it yourself." I said.

"But you're the girl." Kaleem said.

"Whats your point?"

"You're suppose to cook for the guys. And since me and Trey are guys, you need to start making more sandwiches."

"Boy, you must be smoking s**t if you think this girl is gonna cook for you guys Especially for you. What do I look like? Your maid?"

"Well, I can get you the outfit. That would be sexy actually." Trey said. I looked at him.

"Im not your maid. Never will I be your maid." I said. I finished my sandwich and started to clean up. I finished packing the things back in the fridge and went back over to my plate and saw that half of my nicely done creation was gone. "You son of b***h!!" I yelled. I heard them laughing in the hall. I picked up my plate and walked into the living room. They came in and looked at me. Trey was about to sit down beside me but I stretched out so he couldn't.

"Aww baby. Im sorry."

"Whatever." I moved my leg and he sat down. Kaleem flipped through the channels until he decided to go to a movie. Paranormal activity was showing and we watch it until I started to get tired. I rested my head oh his shoulder and fell asleep.
