Well honestly where do I begin? I think it started with Rodney, he asked me out on a date, we went to go watch a Horror Movie, Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter, honestly that movie did scare the living shit out of me, I think that's why he took me there, so that way he can feel like he can comfort me when i got scared and I held his hand. To the other girls at school, he was like the most ideal boy that some girls would want to be with and to me, he was one of my best friends and it made me feel closer by being with him, it was like every minute was gonna be forever and I wanted to make every second, every minute count. I wanted to marry him, we were on the bridge of Brooklyn to go back to my house,"Rodney, are you sure that you don't want to take a cab?"
"Yes babe, I'll be okay and besides, I can take care of myself" I nodded and looked around, he pulled out a cigarette and i asked for a puff,"Really? You smoke?"
"Juliet has been showing me the ropes"
"Juliet huh? She been teaching you to be bad?"
"More like getting out of my zone" He stopped to kiss me, he pushed me against the bridge, you know that feeling when you step into a pool completely dry and when you take each step, you start to tremble, but in a good way as you keep walking in until eventually….you're fully wet? Well that is what happened with me, he was kissing me and kissed my neck,"So you wanna be bad?" I didn't exactly remember what I said, we were away from a light pole so no car was able to see us, he had his hand running through my hair, he had his other hand around my waist, we stopped to catch a breath with each other,"God I love you so much"
"I love you too" He had his left hand on one side of my face and we continued walking, we didn't know what time it was, we had the time of our lives, I was just so damn happy to be with him, he actually completed me in ways that you couldn't imagine,"So there's a Live Aid going on next year and Queen is gonna be playing, I was thinking that maybe we can watch it together" We were in my neighborhood, dogs were barking and running at fences,"You don't scare us" He said to the dogs and I smiled at him when we were at my door,"Yeah I'd like that, we can watch it and we can ask my mom" We walked the door,"You, out and you, i need to have a long talk with you about curfew young lady"
"Mom-"
"It's my fault to go to a late showing, don't get mad at her"
"I know your type Mr. Casboro, you leave my daughter alone"
"Mom! He's my boyfriend"
"I don't care young lady! What are you still doing here? Get out now and don't ever come back!" He walked out the door,"Mom! What were you thinking?" I looked over on the table and I saw Chardonnay and I looked over at her,"I thought you were done"
"And I thought you were gonna be back home at 9pm"
"I told you the movie started at 9, I also said that I was gonna be home late"
"You need to think ahead or else you would never get nowhere in life because that boy is bad news" I walked away to my room and she pulled my arm,"Don't you walk away from me! Come here" She pushed me down to the floor of the living room, she grabbed the belt off the coat rack,"What were you doing with that boy?"
"Nothing mom, I swear!"
"Lies!" She hit me on my butt,"You are never to see the likes of that boy, Rodney Casboro!" She continued hitting me more and I screamed while crying, I believe it was around 1 or 2 in the morning when she finally stopped
The next morning, I went to school and Juliet came over as she put her arm around my shoulder,"Hey heard you finally made it with Rodney"
"What? What are you talking about?"
"One of his friends told me that you two uh huh, I didn't know you had it in you and especially with him, I mean he's your first boyfriend" I pulled her arm off of me and I stopped in front of her,"Him and I never did it, we just went to the movies to watch Friday the 13th, we made out on our way back and that was all that happened"
"Really? He's right there, might wanna have a talk with the boy" I turned and saw him with his group of friends,"Hey babe"
"Rodney, we need to talk….now" The boys said ooh,"She needs more!" As we walked away, we went to a secluded staircase,"What was that about?"
"What was what?"
"You told your friends that we had sex? How can you say something like that?" He put his hands in his pockets,"Hey, hey it ain't a big deal, don't get yourself all worked up"
"I'm not, I'm a virgin for God's Sakes" He was looking down and then he looked up at me,"Wait what? Y-you're a virgin?"
"Is there something wrong with that?"
"No, no it shouldn't be, I mean" He looked up at as he took a deep breath,"I didn't start that rumor about you and I doing it, one of my friends did and if you want to take it slow, we can, I don't want to rush you or anything"
"You didn't think that I was?" He chuckled,"Based on your kissing, I thought you weren't" I guess in a way it was a compliment, otherwise I forgave him because who could resist that swept back layered black hair, those gorgeous brown eyes and somewhat lean body, he moved in closer,"i love you and I don't want to hurt you, okay babe?" He moved out of my face and he was front of me, I nodded,"I love you too Rodney" He kissed me as I put my arms around his neck,"I'll tell my boys to buzz off about us"
"Yeah that's a good idea" He smiled and kissed me again, the bell rang,"We gotta go to class" I was about to go to the door,"Aren't you coming?"
"You go on, I'm just gonna be here a lil bit" I nodded as I walked out
It was around Study Hall and I was handed a note by Rodney in class,"Psst" I turned around to the kid behind,"What is it?"
"From the lover boy" I sighed as I received the note,"Thanks Cathy" I opened the note
I wanna see you this Friday night, tell your Mom that you're gonna be at Juliet's place
I chuckled in amusement and looked in the far right corner, Rodney looked up and smirked at me as he was writing, Mr. Conrad looked up making sure that we were doing our work from other classes.
The bell rang and he walked over, putting his hand in my back pocket,"Rodney" He smiled and he looked at me,"What? I can't touch you"
"No, I don't mind at all" He nodded and he groaned,"I don't want to go to Math, I don't even think I need it anyway"
"I don't think anyone needs it anyway well maybe except for accountants or taz attorneys" He shook his head,"I don't think I'm gonna be one of those things ever" I smiled and we went upstairs,"So have you thought about Live Aid?"
"Yeah I've thought babout it, I think we can try to watch it at your place or find some way to watch it" We stopped in front of my class which was History,"Babe, you know we can find a way and otherwise it's during the summer, I have y ways, alright?" I was against the lockers and I nodded,"Since my mom is against me dating you now…..I wouldn't mind keeping this secret" He smirked,"You gotta get to class" He kissed me and a boy came to us,"E-Excuse me, you're in front of my locker, can you move please?" We didn't even move, we just kissed before a teacher came to separate,"Save that for your own time, get to class Casboro" And he said my last name as well,"I'll check up on ya, kay babe?" I nodded as he walked with his friends and I went to class.
It was a few days later and I told my mother that I was gonna be at Juliet's house that night and Juliet knew what to do when I told her about the plan with Rodney, she was on board with that and we had lunch together, Rodney came over with his group of friends,"Hey babe" He kissed me on the side of my cheek as he sat next to me,"Lemme introduce you to the guys, this is John, Robbie, Daniel, Tony and Brad, guys this is my girl" He said my name and they all said hi to me,"And this is my friend Juliet"
"Hey" We all finally had the group together and had a really good lunch with one another, we were walking to our classes and then,"Mr. Casboro, you're needed in this office" Principal Weston asked him and John walked by my side,"Ah shit" I had a grip onto my books and he explained to me,"He's been dealing drugs here, I think the police finally got to him"
"What? Oh my god"
"Yeah he's been dealing it for quite sometime now, he's been skipping classes to deal them and also smoke it" So that was what that smell was,"Really? He never told me that"
"Well I think it's because he doesn't want you in that part of his life which is a good thing, really" I nodded slowly as I just found out that my own boyfriend was dealing with marijuana,"Why didn't he tell me about this?"
"No clue, maybe…." He sighed and shrugged,"I dunno, but with our best luck, he'll be back here tomorrow" I nodded,"Anyways gotta run"
"Okay" I was walking to my class thinking that my own boyfriend was dealing drugs and I think that this is when he became my first bad boyfriend and I think I started to like it.
