Mondays were a drag but this Monday was different, Kyle could feel the morning wind all around him as he stood on his balcony, he looked across his house land, and saw people working, watering the plants sculptures, trimming the excess grass, everyone was busy, he didn't know why but today he was happy he sniffed in the air one more time and smiled, from afar he saw Destiny walking in through the gates, he smiled and quickly ran to his room,she was late, but he didn't mind, he couldn't figure out why he was so excited to see her, as he fixed his baige coloured pant properly on his waist, he heard her talk from behind the door.
Good morning, she said walking in.
he looked at her, your late he said, but it's alright you can get my bag from the chair over there.
he noticed her choice of clothing, she was wearing the t-shirts he had given her, it made him smile, because she looked so petite in it, she had a pair of shorts and had her black full hair resting from her shoulders to her waist, she didn't wear any makeup but boy was she pretty, with her brown eyes and long neck.
I was right he said, it looks better on you.
he swore he saw her blushed, she took his bag and he let her ride his elevator.
When they got out from his house and into his car she sat at the backsit. he didn't like that, and he felt like today was the day he would something about it.
why don't you come sit up front he said looking at her from his rare mirror. She looked shocked and almost lost of words for awhile, turning around to see if there was someone else in the car with them
uhmm, that's alright am good here she declined.
It wasn't a request, he said with dominance still looking at her.
She slowly opened the door and walked out of it almost stiffly, She opened the front door and sat on the pure leather chair.
Isn't this much better? he asked and started his car.

As we walked in the hallways we stopped by destiny's locker so she could get her English textbooks, I leaned on one locker waiting for her to be done, then mim came over, I had already seen her from afar, and I choose to ignore her, positive she would do the same after our brief meeting at her party, but I was wrong, She had no shame.
O my gosh like? She wears your clothes now?, Like is she so broke that she can't afford hers, she said and laughed, with her whore friends, She was a bully, I looked at Destiny whose expression was sad, I walked closer to her and held her hand.
I gave it to her, it's a gift from me.
Gift? more like hand me downs, she continued with mock in her tone.
it's because I trust that she wouldn't wear this T-shirt to some other guys house or hotel room, when she's with me she doesn't have to worry about what to wear cause I'll get them for her, hell Aswell would I spend all my money on her, because she's my GIRL.
She glared at me for awhile, don't get your hopes up Kyle, we are girls, we are all the same, she said slowly tapping my shoulder.
are you alright? I asked her.
yeah, she said holding her textbooks tightly, Thanks.
we should get going to class I said still holding her hands she nod.
*****
Kyle's been acting strange, he keeps smiling at me AND HE'S NICE?. I don't get it, did he hit his head or something, because I couldn't tell with his new behavior, I have never seen him like this before I stump my foot on the door on our way to class and he kept asking me if I was alright, the normal Kyle would've laughed and told me to walk it off, every minute in history class he kept asking me about my foot, am fine I told him, but man's wouldn't just give it a rest, kept holding my hands and telling me to focus on class, how could I focus when he was holding my frigging hands? it was weird, and he didn't complain about my sweaty hands, which he always complained about when we walked in together, even if we've just been holding hands for five minutes, I don't understand, it's like I woke up in a alternate universe, WAIT!!!!! was it because I wore is t-shirt to school? o my God it was a nice gesture to show I appreciated his gifts, I hope he doesn't get the wrong idea. He did stood up for me, that was kind of nice of him I guess, even if it was because of him I was being insulted.
and now here I am sitting at the cafeteria in his personalized table trying to eat my lunch, but he just keeps talking.
Your hair smells nice.
whattt in the world? did he just sniff my hair.
Thanks, I said trying to concentrate on eating my frenchfries.
what shampoo do you use?, this smells like. coconut, he said as he continued touching my hair.
It's coconut and aloevera I said looking at him weird, are you alright?, I asked tryna touch his forehead, he Dodge and laughed, Am okay are you?.
you've been acting really NOT YOURSELF.
well a certain someone said they wanted a nicer Kyle that's who am tryna be, he said with a smirk.
is this a game?, or prank? a new tactic to get me to fully comply with his plot? many questions ran through my mind.
I said that? I guess it only took two bottles of Hennessy for me to snap.
you didn't snap don't say that, you just said what you had bottled up all this while.
if your being nice to me, does that mean this whole mim ploy is over? I asked hoping for a yes.
NO, She cheated Destiny that isn't hard to forget, and she topped it off with lies and accusations.
Come-on you can't say you've never cheated on her before, just forgive her and get back together, she still loves you and you love her right??.
He bowed his head and smirk, yes I cheated while we together but am allowed to cheat, it's nature just like going number two, am a man am expected to cheat at least a hundred times he said.
I looked at him with disgust, he didn't really mean that did he?.
are you serious? first of you are 19 that doesn't qualify as a "man" second if you think like that am sorry Kyle, but you are exactly like your father.
He stared at me for awhile. Then teach me. he said.
Huh?
Teach me not to become like him.
I can't do that Kyle, am your assistant not your therapist.
Destiny, your words that night really got to me and I really wanna change all around, there's so much hate in here, he said touching his heart, and I feel like you could help me get it out, with a little practice, besides I was tired of acting mean, it's exhausting.
Wait what?!.
yeah.
acting mean?, am sorry my mind can't compute.
Well the first day I met you, you were unnecessarily rude to me, even when I was actually the only one trying to help you, so I wanted to repay the favor.
Are you kidding?. you've been repaying the favour for four months?.
I kinda got used to it along the line, plus I love to dominate he said eating a fry.
I slapped it off his hands.
Hey?. was that necessary?.
you are sick, even I can't help you...
I doubt that he said staring at me.
I quickly blinked away. Fine it's not like I have a choice anyways.
I'll do anything really if he meant he'd stop being a dutche, and there's no way he expects me to believe he's been acting all these while what am I? five? his facial expressions up until now wooze with hatred.
At home I sat on my bed to FaceTime Anna.
Hey Anna.
Anna: Babygirl see as you fine.
what?.
Anna: (laughs) it's Pigin, my friends here are teaching me a new language, it's kinda like English but it's broken and like scattered its way more interesting than boring English.
why would you wanna learn that? I thought you were coocoo for a minute.
Anna: don't say that, it's my origin and roots.
oh am sorry if I didn't pass the vibe check.
Anna: It's okay, at least you remembered to call, you passed that vibe check.
O my God the craziest thing happened today like, Kyle was being so nice to me all of sudden, am not gonna lie it fricked the shit out of me, but now I guess am kinda getting used it, like you have to see him he's so nice.
Anna: oh, that's nice, but keep your head up babygirl, Kyle's like a certified fuck boy, don't get too comfortable he's playing at something, that guy once brought a Muslim girl to her knees, then his stupid friends spread lotta of dumb rumors, and the innocent girl had to change schools, this happened way before your freshman ass came over to chesam, so am just saying be careful.
you say that like am a two year old, am not gonna let my guard down just cause he's being nice to me, am just telling you that, my friendship list just added a new member i guess.
Anna: Kyle doesn't count, come-on, he's your boss you literally see him everyday, I want you to go out and make friends jhoor.
(laughs)is that another Pi, pigeon?, pigeon like the bird, am sorry am really confused.
Anna: that's alright, the spellings and pronounciations are different, don't worry we'll do that later. anyways I gatto go, my grandma here says we have church this evening.
church, but it's Monday.
Anna: o my God that's exactly what I said, it's like a program, anyways bye girl, I love you so much and remember don't let him get to you.
okay bye, I love you too.
