Pryer's POV
__________________________________________________________________________________
When I said I was going to try harder to get her to like me I meant what I said. These past few days I focused on small gestures. My mom told me that girls remember the little things like when you give her your last brownie which I in fact did do.
I sat at Devie's table along with Fia who was trying to flirt with Voya. Devie kept her eyes on her food while I patiently waited for her to notice me staring at her.
When she finally looked up I quickly averted my eyes away from her to avoid eye contact. This only made me realize how long I was staring at her. It also made me realize how red my ears were.
"So can we come over to my house for the project? I don't want to experience that again. Not in a rude way I just think it would be...better?" She says as I could still feel her eyes on me.
I looked back at her sadly. Has the encounter with my dad been bothering her."Sure whatever you want okay?" She smiles at me and she smiles back. I wouldn't want to bring Devie back to my house after what happened last time anyway.
The bell had rung and I stood up from the table ready to walk Devie to class. Then someone wrapped their arms around me. I looked down to see that Aurora was seductively smiling at me. I happily accepted her embrace and wrapped my arms around her. When I looked up again Devie was gone.
"I missed you." She says as she gently rests her head on my chest. "I missed you too." I said warmly and she smiled at me.
Don't get attached.
Shut up.
Attachment is bad.
I said shut up.
A battle with my heart and mind. Which one would win? "Why are you always with that girl? You know I'm the one you want? Isn't that what you said?" She says and stands on her tiptoes to kiss my cheek.
I said that?
"Yes it is what I said." I said as I got comfortable. I ignored the stares we got from people that walked by. My shoulder was shoved and I turned my head to see that Fia was looking at me angrily before turning and leaving the room.
"Why'd he do that to you?" Aurora asked as she grabbed my hand and started guiding me towards the exit of the school. "Were leaving why?" I said as I did nothing but let her lead me to her car. "You know why, I want some fun."
She opened her car door and pushed me into the passenger's seat. Then she immediately climbed on top of me. "Aurora wait."
She began finding her hands under my shirt and kissing my neck. I had my hands on her waist trying to enjoy our intimacy, but I didn't feel anything. All I felt was uncomfortable. "Aurora stop." I said as I tried to get her hands off of me."Don't act like you don't like it." She smiled seductively and purposely raised her skirt up.
I grabbed both of her rummaging hands and moved them away from me. I looked her in her eyes and all they held was confusion."I don't want to do this not right now." I said and she immediately looked stunned. Her face was scrunched and she was obviously scowling at me for rejecting her.
Before I knew it she had gotten her hand loose from mine and slapped me. I think she made sure that her sharp nails scratched my face in the process. "Jerk!" She yelled angrily before opening the car door and climbing off of me to leave the car.
I was left in the car alone with a slightly bleeding cheek. In all the times I've been with Aurora I never wanted her to be sad or angry. I never wanted anything,but to see her smile and be comfortable with me. In fact I never like to make anyone cry, I don't want to be the purpose of someone's sadness.
But this time, today I wanted to get her upset. I didn't feel bad for making her upset. I think I saved myself from a really bad situation. I was getting to attached.
And I know that attachment is very very bad. A very memorable person taught me that

I don't feel good about this Aurora and Pryer thing.
What goes in his mind that he thinks it's okay to play with girls hearts? Especially mine. If everyone knew what kind of world I lived in would they look at me the same way? I bet they wouldn't, I mean Look at Pryer. The boy's got all the essentials to be your classic 80s bad boy.
Daddy issues, girls, and stupidity.
And me?
I'm just observant. I'm good at reading whats good and what's bad for me, but for some reason I can't read Pryer.
One minute he seems totally fun to hang around. His personality would be calm and sweet. Then there are times where he can be super annoying and cocky. Suddenly his ego grows 100x more and he starts openly flirting with Aurora.
My bad, his lovely Aurora.
I don't know what game he's playing at, but all I know is I won't fall into this stupid confusing story like my sister did. I believed in fairy tales when I was 9 years old. Finding a handsome prince, but then he's clearly in love with another.
Remember what you look like?
Your a black woman incapable of love.
Is it true?
And Feng was right. He was right from the very beginning.
