Bratz #2

*Today in Science class I find myself dreaming about Eric, again.

I’ve never had a boyfriend before, so you can’t blame a girl for day dreaming

Miss Paradowski: Yasmin!

Me: UH yes, Miss P.?

Miss P.: Can you answer my question?

Me: Uuuh, sorry Miss Paradowski I was —

Dylan: Daydreaming about your boyfriend?

Eric: Hey, shut up Dylan

Dylan: No you

Eric: Oh you want a piece of this?

Dylan: I know Yasmin does

Me: *I glare at him*

Miss P.: Excuse me you two! To the principal’s office, NOW!

Eric: Like right now?

Miss P.: *gives him a serious look*

Eric: *stands* Ooook I will be going now

Dylan: Right behind ya

In the hall after my last class of the day…

Alicia: Hey, Girl!

Me: Hey

Alicia: Okay tell me what’s wrong?

Me: Nothing

Alicia: Girl, I see your face. Something’s wrong

Me: *I sigh & speak reluctantly* Okay, fine. So Eric’s still been getting into some trouble at school. And I notice that we have more of a friendly kind of relationship still

Alicia: And…? So what. I have friendly relationships with lots of guys

Me: But he’s my boyfriend. I’m expecting a little more PDA than a cheek kiss. I dunno…we just don’t have the chemistry like we had before we started dating

Alicia: Well then maybe you should just go back to day-dreaming ‘bout him

Me: We’re together and I still do that!

Alicia: Oh jeeze *puts her hand on her face*

Guy: Hey, Lishy, let’s go, we don’t want to be late for guitar lessons!

Alicia: OK Zack. You hear him call me Lishy?

Me: *I give her a look*

Alicia: What? He’s cute. I gotta go. Love ya. Talk later!

Me: *I sigh then turn around and run into Nikki*

Nikki: Uh, like, watch where you’re going much?

Me: Sorry!

Nikki: Whatever

*Isn’t she pleasant? I’ve never met a brunette that’s a total blonde…*

At my house…

*I feel so confused and sad and don’t know what to do! Eric is a good guy, but horrible at school, and just…. a…. troublemaker! It’s all hitting me so hard. Probably because I’ve never actually had a boyfriend before. But he’s soooo cute and sweet…and I don’t want to lose him as a friend. I don’t know what to do! After all this thinking I’m hungry!*

Bedtime…

*I sat on my bed for a while thinking…. Still. Then my mom walks in…*

Mom: Yassy, what’s the matter?

Me: It’s Eric; he’s been acting out more lately at school

Mom: That can’t be. Eric has always been a sweet boy

Me: I might even want to cancel our wedding

Mom: *gives me a strange look*

Me: You know what I mean! But I think…I need to break up with him

Mom: What do you mean Yassy?

Me: What I mean is that he’s just another boy that I should of kept dreaming on about. I don’t want to ruin our friendship by moving too fast into a relationship

Mom: Oh honey *hugs me*

Me: I love you, mom

Mom: Love you too Yassy. Why don’t you get some rest?

Me: I’ll try my best

Mom: Okay hon. Nighty-night

Me: Night

At school the next day…

*I’m walking down the hall when Eric comes up behind me…*

Eric: Hey Yas, up top! *tries to give me a high-five*

Me: *I just stare at him*

Eric: Hey ya left me hangin! Okay…what’s wrong? You got the pout face

Me: Will it make you feel better if I say I’m smiling on the inside?

Eric: *gives me a funny look* ANYWAYS. I got you a surprise

Me: You got me something?

Eric: *pulls out of his pocket a purple velvet box & pulls a ring out with his fingers*

Me: OH…wow…is that…?

Eric: It’s a relationship ring

Me: Yeah that’s totally what I thought

Eric: May I? *motions to put the ring on my finger*

Me: Uh yeah sure *I mouth the word ‘wow’*

*the bell rings for class…*

Me: Ready to go to class?

Eric: Sure, cutie

*I blush at him. Well this obviously makes it more difficult to break up with him when he starts acting like an actual boyfriend and not just a “friend”…*

In class…

Ethan: Hey Yasmin, how’s your husband or I mean husband-to-be?

Dylan: Yeah, you’re full name will soon be Yasmin Craft-Miami

Kenny: *walks over and puts his arm around me* It’s okay Yas…. I’ll be the best man *winks at Eric*

Eric: Would you guys knock it off. Leave her alone

Me: This is going to be a long class *I put my head down on my desk*

In the hall after class…

Alicia: Hey girl. How you doin’?

Me: Hi. I’m meh

Alicia: Oh no why?

Me: Can we talk about it tomorrow? I’m feeling kinda bummed

Alicia: Aw no, girl. Okay sure

Me: Thanks. I’ll see you tomorrow

Alicia: Okay. Bye girl

Me: See ya *I walk away then turn around to look back at her & see Zack walk up to her and give her a kiss*

At home…

*I walk in my front door & slam it shut. I hear a creek noise & see a picture of me on the wall had tipped sideways. That sums up my day I guess! I continue up the stairs then Dylan stops me…*

Dylan: Hey Yas, Eric said you two can meet soon at the church for the wedding

Me: Zip it, dog breath *I rush into my room & close the door then rest on my bed. I don’t know if I want to have a relationship ring with Eric just yet. Or want to be in a more serious relationship. Maybe we’re just better off as friends? Dylan’s loud blasted music interrupts my thoughts. I bang on the wall next to me* KNOCK IT OFF! UGH!

At school the next day…

*I walk down the hallway nervously, looking everywhere to keep an eye our for Eric…*

Alicia: Hey girl

Me: Hi

Alicia: Whoa you alright? You look tired

Me: Yeaaah about that. I need to break up with Eric today

Alicia: You’re serious?

Me: Yeah. I dunno how to tell him

Eric: Tell me what?

*Alicia & I gasp startled…*

Me: Uuuuh to tell you how SHINY your hair looks today *I laugh nervously*

Eric: Oh? Thanks. I used some extra gel today

Alicia: Cute *gives him a humored look*

Eric: *raises his eyebrows at her*

Me: *I chuckle* Anyways, I’ve been looking for you

Eric: Oh well, you found me

Alicia: Actually you found us

*Eric & I give Alicia a look…*

Alicia: *clears her throat* Okay, I can take a hint. I’ll just go bug Dylan. You two chat

Eric: *folds his arms* So what’s up, Yas?

Me: Uuuh. Can we talk somewhere more private?

Eric: Ooo are we gonna kiss?

Me: *I laugh nervously* Not exactly…

Eric: Let’s go talk outside *he gives me a cute look & nods his head towards the doors*

Me: Okay

*Eric holds my hand & guides me outside by one of the big oak trees…*

Eric: So what’s going on in that cute smart brain of yours?

Me: It’s not exactly great stuff

Eric: Oh jeeze

Me: I…I think we need to break up *I cover my face with my hand*

Eric: *gently pulls my hand down* You think?

Me: Don’t you think we jumped into things too fast?

Eric: A little bit. But I do really care about you, Yas

Me: I care about you too. But I just want to be friends for now. Is that okay?

Eric: Hey, I respect that

Me: Really?

Eric: Why do you sound so surprised? We’ve always been cool

Me: *I laugh a little* Well that’s true

*The bell rings for 1st period class…*

Eric: *gives me a sweet look* You’re still super cute *kisses my cheek* See ya round, Yas

*I blush at him then watch a couple of girls approach him. Some things never change…*

At home…

*I was laying on my bed just thinking about today. Surprised how well everything turned out with Eric even though I was so nervous about it all. Someone knocks on my door…*

Mom: It’s me hon.

Me: Cooome in!

Mom: *sits on the end of my bed* So how did it go with you and Eric today?

Me: It went…BETTER than I expected. And we can still be good friends like we were before. Well…we’ll see how that goes

Mom: I’m sure you two will be fine *pats my leg* Dinner will be ready in 5 minutes

Me: Okay sounds good

.

Dylan: *pops his head in my door* Sooo…how’s the divorcee doing?

Me: Wow, word travels fast

Dylan: That, AND I was eavesdropping on you and Mom

Me: Well of course you were!

Dylan: So am I going to be like the awkward child when I hang out with you and Eric?

Me: Oh my god shut UP! *I throw my pillow at him*

Dylan: *dodges my pillow* Is that a YES?

Me: GAAAH! *I stand up and chase after him with my pillow*

At school the next day…

*I’m walking down the hallway when Alicia taps my shoulder…*

Alicia: Hey girl! How’d it go yesterday with you-know-who?

Me: Actually not bad at all. He was so sweet about it all

Alicia: Well duh, he’s Eric

Me: Yeah, I guess I got nervous about nothing — as usual! But now I feel a little nervous about seeing him after our break up

Alicia: Oh girl, everything will be fine! Just take deep breaths

Me: *take deep breaths*

Alicia: DEEPER

Me: Oh hush *I playfully slap her shoulder*

Zack: Lishy! *waves for her to come over*

Alicia: *gives me a look*

Me: Well go on. Go see your man, I’ll be fine

Alicia: *laughs* I’ll see you later okay?

Me: See ya — *I notice Zack high-fiving Eric & I try to turn around & tiptoe away*

Eric: YAS!

Me: *I feel caught & stop walking & turn around* OH HEEEEY

Eric: Hey, could we talk in private a little?

Me: Uh sure. How bout under the staircase?

Eric: Sure

Eric: *runs his hand through his hair* So, how’re you?

Me: I’m okay, how bout you?

Eric: *scratches the back of his neck* I’m alright. Just checking to see how you’re doing

Me: Oh…well that’s sweet. I’m okay. Are you?

Eric: Yeah I’m good. Don’t worry about me *winks at me*

Me: Is this going to weird between us now?

Eric: What’s wrong with werid?

Me: *I chuckle*

Eric: You look good today

Me: *I blush* Well you always look good. I don’t know how you do it

Eric: *blushes & lets out a little laugh & moves a little closer to me*

*I get lost staring into his beautiful blue eyes then he leans in & kisses me. The bell rings for 1st period snapping us out of our moment…*

Eric: UH…sorry I can’t seem to control myself around you

Me: No that’s my fault too. It’s okay. Uh, gotta get to class though

Eric: RIGHT

Me: Uh we can call that a last kiss?

Eric: Yeah, sure, sure. Won’t happen again *gives me a long look*

Me: *I clear my throat* Uh, class time?

Eric: Right, right. Friend *pats my arm*

Me: Okay don’t be TOO weird now

Eric: *chuckles*

Me: Uh I need a minute. You go on to class

Eric: O-kay? See you there

Me: *I need a moment to freak out without his presence. BUT WHAT WAS THAT? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FOCUSED THROUGH MY 1ST PERIOD CLASS NOW? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It probably means I will need a big nap when I get home. Who knows. We’ll see what happens…*
