THAT UPTOWN BOY by Belinda Louis (good books to read for women txt) 📕

*Ronnie* (Via cover)


I just moved into town and going to a new school wasn't my thing. I'm very anti-social and I don't communicate much but it sucks being away from my friends. We threw a party the night before I left and my dad got pissed off at me because when he came home the next morning the house was a mess. He did punish me but I didn't take it serious. I started changing after my mothers death in a car accident two years ago. I still wish she was here with me to feel what I'm going through but I can't bring her back from the dead.


It was the next morning on a Monday and from my window I can see the Moving Truck came to drop our belongings to a new home. I read all the signs that was around it and I observed the things they were taking out of the truck. My dad was helping carry in the sofa. I watched him walked back in the house then I went back to lay on my bed. I had one foot down and my right foot on the bed with my arms behind my head. I heard my father coming towards my room so I closed my eyes shut. He opened the door and knocked as hard as he can.

Dad:"Ron...it's time for school get dressed" he came in and slam the door shut. I got up and took a shower and brushed my teeth as always. I looked into the mirror and just stared at myself...you know you do that when you look so good...ADMIT IT!. Well I quickly stomped my feet going downstairs entering the kitchen. It was empty so my father left out the gallon of milk, a bowl, a plastic spoon, and cereal box full of Apple Jacks. My favorite cereal of all time. I can't believe he knew that...cause only my mom would know that's my favorite breakfast...no wonder why she would say I'm gonna be a big boy when grow up. I can't blame her I'm 6'0 feet tall at 17 years young dang...that's tall right.


I got in my Audi and drove to school. As soon I got out the car all eyes were on me and girls starting biting their lips. "Awkward..." I mumbled to myself and entered the front entrance. I headed to the office and ask for a schedule. This girl stood out of all of them surrounded by her. She looked back at me and I looked back at her. She smiled at me and I winked and she turned away and started walking out the office. She had a nice body too. She had nice curves a pretty face...everything like those pretty cali girls. She was beautiful and her eyes got my attention. Those grey eyes man I couldn't stop staring at her.


Office Lady:"Excuse me?!" she tapped me
Me:"Oh sorry ummm.....I'm Ronnie and I was asking can I have a schedule I'm new here" I doubted
Office Lady:"Oh right your Max's son...Ronnie Sanders?!" she smiled at me then looked back the computer
Me:"Yea I'm guessing you know him?"
Office Lady:" Yes he came here yesterday....and your father is sure handsome" she flirted. Awkward for a lady to talk to me about how my good looking my father is. She handed me the schedule and winked at me.
Office Lady:"Oh and tell your father I said Hi!" She yelled
Me:"Mhum.." Like I was gonna let her replace my mom....thirsty bitch.


I walked into room 107 and I entered but the door closed very hard and everybody turned around and all eyes were on me. And the crazy thing is the same I girl who walked the office was in my class. She turned around and laughed at me. And I heard the girls saying "Damn" and all that next shit they say when they see a sexy boy around them. I looked at the schedule and looked at the teachers name on it.


Me:"Are you Ms. Patterson?" I said confused
Ms. Patterson:"Yes I am and your late....take a seat behind Jasmine" she pointed to the girl I saw in the main office. I took a seat behind her and she turned around and giggled while her friends were grilling me down. I slouched in my seat. I had my hands in my camo shorts and looked at her from the back from her hair to her back cause it was showing but classy way. I stayed in the class room for about 45 minutes and Second and Third period as well. Lunch time came and a group of boys came up to me while I was eating my wrap. I looked up at all four of them watching me eat. I was getting uncomfortable.


Me:"Can I help ya with something?" I said with my mouth stuffed. Everyone in the cafeteria looked at us and so did Jasmine.
Boys:"Yea your sitting in our table"
Me:"Oh yea did you pay for it?"
Boys:"No we didn't"
Me:"Then you don't own anything because last time I checked the school payed for this..now if you'll excuse me I'll finish enjoying my wrap"
Boys:"Dude are you dumb....GET UP!" he yelled. I got pissed and when someone yells at me I flip out. I got up and threw my lunch in the garbage. I looked at him face to face and he was about my height and he took a step back.
Me:"Fine you want your table you can have it since you didn't pay for it" I walked away in anger and the bell rang. I saw Jasmine walking behind as I left the cafeteria.


Jasmine:"Hey you...wait up?!" she screamed
Me:"What?" I said in a calm tone
Jasmine:" I'm Jasmine...you are?"
Me:"And now is the time you wanna talk to me?" I smirked
Jasmine:"Just being foolish you know it's a girl thing"
Me:"Yea I bet...." I started to walk away and she stopped me again
Jasmine:"Hey wait...what's your name?"
Me: I didn't answer her and I continued walking away and headed to gym class. I entered the boys locker room. I sat down to put on the outfit in my locker with my name on it.

Donte:"Oh wait aren't you that kid who almost got into a fight with Mike?"
Me:"Who's Mike?"
Donte:"The boy you got in an argument with"
Me:"That's Mike?"
Donte:"Yea nobody messes with him...cause he's actually like the big guy around here"
Shane:"Yea everyone was surprised you even steped up to him"
Ricky:"Yea we all are..."
Me:"What are you guys....the press confrence?"
Donte:"Hahaha naw were the cool kids around here"
Me:"COOL KIDS!??"
Donte:"Lets just say we know everybody...and were well known...were skate boaders"
Me:"You guys skate?"
Shane:"Yea were ALL-STAR skate boaders"
Ricky:"Yhup YPSB"
Me:"What does that mean?"
Donte:"YOUNG-PROFESSIONAL-SKATE BOADERS"
Me:"Lame"
Donte:"Have you seen us skate before...they call us Trill Bandits"
Me:"Cool should I give you a certificate?"
Shane:"Naw I want a cookie" Donte slapped him in the back of the head
Donte:"Do you skate?"
Me:"Used too"
Shane:"Why did you stop?"
Donte:"Yea what happened bro?"
Me:"Nothing I just stopped felt like moving on...anyway I got class" I walked out with my gym bag and sat down on the bleachers. Dang I didn't know this girl plays basketball. She came in the gym and started doing dunks against her teammates.
Donte:"Damn Jasmine is one fine girl I've ever seen"
Shane:"She's never gonna go out with you get it through your head" he tapped Donte on the head
Donte:"But she is so sexy...man I would tap that everyday" he bit his lip and watched her play around the court.
Me:"She's not all that"
RICKY,DONTE,SHANE:"WHAT ARE YOU MENTALLY CHALLENGED?!????!!!?"
Me:"I don't see what's so sexy about her"
Donte:"Dude she's like the finest girl in this school and oh god...your telling me you wouldn't fuck? Man you've got problems"
Me:"I just don't think she's beyond sexy...come on look at the girl she has a nice body but she can't beat a thick girl"
Shane:"He's gotta point" The gym teacher called everyone to stand up and start working out. I on the other was doing push-ups and sit-ups. Donte, Ricky, and Shane were trying to hard to impress Jasmine. She was looking at me and Donte was whistling to get her attention. I got up cause I was going thirsty but Jasmine was already at the water fountain. She was bending over in front of me but I was a couple inches away. Her last sip of water drip fell off her bottom lip and she wiped it off. She looked at me face to face and and I looked at her up and down and just stared at her ass and I ended up rubbing my chin. A fat girl behind me pushed me.


Fat Girl:"Earth to you...are you gonna drink some water?"
Me:"Nah you go...you need it the most" And I ran to the girls and started playing with them. Number 8 passed me the ball.

Jasmine:"Hey why didn't you pass it to me?" she rolled her eyes
Me:"You want the ball?"
Jasmine:"Nah you can have it.....your not gonna make it in anyway"
Me:"Ok...if you say so" I stood behind the 3 point line or what ever they call it. It's my first time playing basketball. I usually stay at home and just watch the NBA. For the first time I made it in and her jaw dropped.
Me:"Impressed?"
Jasmine:"Nope..." she took the ball from me a got back to playing. I walked back to the bleachers.
Donte:"Holy crap...she likes you"
Me:"I don't think so"
Shane:"Did you see the way she looked at you when you walked away"
Me:"Ummm...no cause I don't have eyes behind my head"
Donte:"She was smiling real hard"
Ricky:"Dude looks like we gotta give you tips ASAP"
Me:"Is that another meaning for skating now?" I smirked
Donte:"Nah..haha Ricky's saying we should give you advice we wouldn't want you to mess up anything...on your first date with Jasmine"
Me:"Hhahahaha....I'm not dating her..."
Donte:"That's what you think I bet you this time around she's gonna want to do something special" he winked at me
Ricky:"Oh yea We didn't get your name?"
Me:"Ron....Ronnie is my name"
Ricky:"I'm Ricky...that's Donte...and he's Shane"
Donte:"Yea were going to the park after school wanna come?"
Me:"Well I have nothing better to do so why not"
Ricky:"Ok we'll wait for you then see yah later" I threw up my peace sign and exited the gym as the bell rang.


School was over and I met up with the boys after school. They were standing in front of a car and the car door was open with their skate-boards in their hands.
Donte:"You coming?" he pointed to the car. I hopped in and we drove off. We reached to a skating park and their were a bunch of skate boarders all over the park. Some look emo.
Donte:"Welcome to LA National Skating Park"
Me:"Seriously" I smirked
Donte:"Yea....that's what we call it" he said with doubt
Ricky:"Were gonna skate or what?" and we started walking in and as always people were giving looks. I haven't skated in 2 years after my moms death so looks like I'm gonna have to get used to being hurt over again. I looked down at the ramp and took a deep breathe. I was thinking very hard and exhaled deeply.
Me:"Sorry guys I can't do this" I sighed
Ricky:"Oh come on Ron you can do this"
Me:"No I can't.....I lost it....my skills....everything"
Shane:"You didn't it's still in you and I can feel it"
Donte and Ricky:"Whoa bro you didn't have to say it like that O.o"
Shane:"Only you two" he shook
