It was June and school was finally out! No more waking up early, rushing to class, missing breakfast, or doing homework... that is till September comes 'sigh'. But whatever its summer and my grammy said I could go to the Puerto Rican Parade and carnival woohoo! I put food out for my kittens, they have gotten much bigger and very healthy. Grammy says that I can only keep one because we are not supposed to have pets here, I'm sad I have to give them up. But I'll find good homes for them.
After eating some breakfast, I take a shower and get dressed. I put on my Minnie Mouse tank top and my Mickey Mouse overall shorts which was starting to get too tight on me and some flip flops. Then go over my friend Sondra house to get my hair done. She wants to be a beautician so I let her experiment with new styles on my head. Today she parted it down the middle and designed braids in different shapes and sizes into two ponytails and left out my curly afropuffs. It was soooo cuute, I just loved it!
Then I headed to the park, but on the way I saw my friends Sarai and Yahaira, two puerto rican girls from school. "Hey y'all what you're doing today, I'm on my way to the parade." They said they were too so we went together. I had never been to a parade before so I had no idea what to expect. It was so much fun, everyone had there flags hanging from their cars or bikes, yelling "BORICUA!" I'm not sure what that means though. Everyone was blowing their horns it was really loud but exciting!
We were out there for a few hours before Sarai wanted to go home and change before we went to the carnival. So we went to her apartment, Sarai was 15 and ran away from home to live with her boyfriend who was 26. They had been together for three years. He worked for a moving company and she didn't go to school anymore, but worked part-time at the local Burger King. Yahaira was 14 and she lived with her dad and older brother, she didn't like being at home because she said they were always drinking, fighting and touching on her. So she spent most of her time over at Sarai's place.
They asked me if I knew how to do braids? "Yeah, but I don't know how to do designs yet, just regular cornrows" "That's cool" Sarai said, I did both of their heads in cornrows and put red, white and blue beads in the design of the Puerto Rican flag. It took a few hours while I did their hair and I learned that they were boy crazy. That's alllll they talked about boys, boys, Boys! And sex, I didn't say much as I hadn't 'did it' yet. But I wasn't tryna do anything until I was much older and married.
They were talking about how it felt when it was hitting up against their cervix, and how good it was in their butt! What?! And how good they were at swallowing nut! Goodness Gracious I wanted to run outta there quick, fast and in a hurry! Then Sarai turned to me "Keya how many guys you've fucked?" Gasp! I had a feeling they were gonna ask me sooner or later. "None! I'm waiting till I'm married." I said confidently. "What!? Married?! Chica you crazy tryna wait that long just to get some dick!" She scoffed. "I'm not tryna wait that long, I AM gonna wait that long" I told her. "What you gonna wait for Keya, its just sex, damn, you act like its special or something?" "Because to me it is special, I only want to be with one guy that's it! I've seen my mom with too many guys and that just don't seem right to me."
"Shit, gurl you crazy, I could never wait that long for some dick, I need it like everyday" Yahaira said laughing "Hell yeah that's what I'm talking about gurl!" Sarai agreed. I rolled my eyes and clicked my tongue at them "Don't y'all care about getting pregnant?" I knew two girls my age that were pregnant right now and I wasn't tryna follow in their footsteps.
They looked at each other then at me, "Ain't you ever heard of condoms Keya, damn gurl live a little!" Sarai said. I shook my head. "Yeah you ain't gonna get pregnant if you have him put on a condom gurl." Yahaira told me. "Speaking of condoms let me remember to bring me some." "Sarai pass me some too, you know we gon need them at the carnival tonight, its finna be too many fine muthafuckas there." Sarai gave her some and then turned and handed me some. I put my hands out pushing her hand away, shaking my head "NO! I don't need them, I told you I'm not doing anything!" "Not even with Steve?" Yahaira says looking at me slyly. 'Gasp' I jumped at hearing his name. Not too many people knew that I had a major crush on him but unfortunately she did. If he wasn't so rude, he might actually be a good boyfriend but he was so aggressive all the time. I wriggled uncomfortably in my chair a little, "No! Not even Steve!" I was a bit shy, saying his name made my face hot, I'm sure I was blushing.
They just laughed at me, "Keya you are such a fuckin tease gurl, but some guys love girls that play hard to get you know." She said looking at me with one eyebrow raised. "So you telling me, she clicked her tongue loudly, that if you meet a fine ass dude tonight you ain't gonna do anything with him?" Sarai asked. "I mean, I'll talk to him I don't wanna be rude or nothing, but I'm not tryna 'do it' with him." I sincerely told her. "Not even if he was fine as hell, had a gorgeous ass body, money and a big ass dick?" she asked curiously. I thought about it for awhile...all that sounds awesome, except for the 'dick' part, but I ain't gonna meet anyone like that and if I did I'm sure he'd want someone else definitely not me. "I don't think I'll meet anyone like that tonight, he sounds too perfect to want to be with lil ol me."
"Well what if you did meet someone like that tonight would you fuck him is all I'm asking?" OMG THIS GIRL! I thought, rolling my eyes. "NO I WOULDN'T! I told her. "Its gonna happen one day so it doesn't matter who its with." "Well to me it does." I said. "Ok whatever let's go" Sarai said and we left to go to the Carnival.
