Ebony

I was still in a kind of daze. Last week I spent all my time with Trudy. I had sex with Trudy! Actually a couple of times. It was great but I knew all good things had to come to an end. I walked down the stairs that morning and Ginny brought me a message from my "parents." They were coming home.

Great, I thought as I drove to school that morning, now what was I going to do? I had invited Trudy to sleep over that night, but did I really want her to meet the people who pay for everything?

I pulled into a parking space and walked to Lex's locker so I could talk to him . He wasn't there yet so I leaned my back against his locker and closed my eyes.

"Are you ok Ebs?" my eyes flew open when I heard Lex's voice. I shook my head and moved so he could open his locker.

"What's up? Is it Trudy?" he asked as he spun in his combination and opened his locker.

"No, guess who decided they were going to come visit there house?"

"Your parents are coming back? For how long?"

"They are not my parents. I don't have parents and I don't know how long. Lets see...they were here for a week last June, five days in October, and three days in February so I'm guessing maybe an hour?"

"Come on Ebs, I know they're not here much but they do love you."

"How could they? Even when they are here there not." I said as tears slid down my cheeks.

"Oh come on now, don't cry. I'm sure if you just ask them they would spend time with you."

"Yeah right that would happen the day you go straight."

"Ok I get your point. If your done with the tears you might want to fix your face. It looks like hell."

"Love you too." I said as I walked to the closest bathroom wiping my face as I walked. When I got in there I turned ion the tap, wetted a paper towel, and started to clean my face. A toilet flushed and the stall door behind me opened and Salene walked out. I ignored her and took my eyeliner out of my purse and started to redo my makeup.

"What's wrong, another boy toy leave you?" she asked me in an all to sweet voice.

"No you skank." I said as I finished fixing my make up and left the bathroom. When I reached my locker Trudy was leaning on it talking to Jack.

"Hey guys!" I said smiling brightly.

"Hi what's up Ebs?" Trudy asked grinning at me.

"Nothin'"

"What's wrong?"

"Um...I have to talk to you about something."

I opened my locker just as the bell rang signaling one minute till home room.

"Look we'll talk later ok? I don't want you to be late." I said as I started to take out my books.

"Well if your sure, see you at lunch." she rubbed my arm affectionately and walked off down the hall with Jack.
