Mizz Lee
Today’s a normal day of High School. A normal day of annoying cheerleaders, Geeks and nerds, Goths and freaks, ‘cute’ jocks, and the chess club. Did I forget to mention it’s a “normal” day? Oh yea right I ‘didn’t.’ Anyway I’m Lena aka Lee. As my friends call me. I’m a sixteen-year old girl who speaks her mind in a sorta ‘old’ fashion way. Let’s put it this way I’m shy, but I have a nasty attitude. Sorta kinda Keysha Cole-ish. Ha ha I’m kidding, but anyway back to my day. Well I go to Vermont High School, well known for straight A students. “Hot” cheerleader’s more like sluts with pitch forks. Than we have the famous jocks, who wins all our football and basketball games. Woo-hoo! Go team! Yeah right. Those steroid looking– Oh don’t get me started! Oh man I am sooo losing it. Now what was I telling you about? Oh yeah right, well walking through the halls of VH isn’t much hell. I wave to classmates, ‘fellow’ friends. And notice the marks over fellow. I’m not you know popular and really don’t care to be. I just wanna graduate High School shit free. Excuse the language but saying it in your mind is harder than doing it. I mean BB’s are every where! You know Bitches and Back stabbers. Now back to school.
“Lena I think Robert is gonna ask me to the dance!” My friend Misha squealed. We’ve been gurls since pre-k. She’s very nice and sweet. And with her looks I envy her. She has the perfect curves, perfect skin, and the most perfect straight hair. Misha says she has Indian in her so really I envy. But even for a girl so sweet, she’s boy crazy! Every guy that supposedly “shows” interest in her He’s “the one.” And no they don’t date for six months for her to say that. It’s more like six to seven days. Sometimes I worry about her. I really–really do.
“Well that’s good at least you ‘got’ a date.” I said sighing a bit. Misha giggled.
“Girl please, you pretty and guys want you.” I smiled. Well if boys think I’m so pretty Where they at?
“Speaking of the dance, are you even going? You don’t seem too enthusiastic.” She’s so right, and I’m not. It’s just a dance that damn it I can never get a date too. Misha’s always telling me I need to show the real Lee but around people especially the opposite sex. Ha ha hell naw. That’s not me
“Honestly that’s not me Misha.” I lied putting in the combination to my locker, I lifted up the latch and it wouldn’t open. What a bootlegged piece of crap our school calls lockers.
“Oh Lee come on, this is the second year you miss the annual dance. I could always ditch Robert and we go as friends.” She implied with her annoying little laugh which means she’s planning something. I hit my locker pissed.
“Thanks for the invite Misha but I wouldn’t want to ruin a special day for you with a guy.” Misha placed a concerned hand on my shoulder. The hell is this Dr. Phil?
“Damn Lena why are you so stubborn?” She asked which insulted me. “I know you want to go but what’s holding you back?” Oh crap she’s o to me. Ever since this oh holy dance came into our lives I’ve been dodging it. I have never actually told Misha why but right now it’s none of her business. Best friend or not.
“My interest,” I lied finally getting my locker open, “I don’t really give a damn about dancing and partying with a school I try to survive in.” Well! Amen now sistah! I’m preachin’ it! Misha moved her books into her left hand.
“Ok fine don’t tell me. But hear my word Lee you will be at that dance.” Oh now Misha’s gone crazy she knows no guy in the school likes me. So why bother or try? I was about to speak but she raised her hand telling me she wasn’t finished.
“You’re gonna eat your words Lee. And if you don’t mind now,” she said changing her “angered” expression to excited. God that pissed me off,
“I’m gonna head to first period.” Misha said rushing past me. And from that I knew she was already planning something. Something EVIL, like a date from what I call hell, or a random guy asking to have lunch with us. God you can tell its staged because the guy’s expression isn’t to into me, if you know what I mean. But anyways I grab my math book and head to first period Math.
And surprise–surprise it was football star of our school Jason Braxton. Nick named JB we have never crossed paths since I started VH, but who cares he’s a grade higher. Enough bragging lets see how conceited he is. He looked at me shocked and back at his black shirt which water spilled on. My bad.
“I’m sorry.” I said in great shock. He grabbed a napkin smiling. Wait is he smiling? You know with a smile like that it’s kind of like the Burger King guy. He smiles nicely and than he will pull out a knife. Now if that really happened I’m writing Burger King.
“That’s ok, it’s a little spill.” he continued as I helped clean his shirt. Wow he’s actually nice and respectful. As we both cleaned his shirt our hands brushed each others. I blushed laughing nervously.
“Um..” I stumbled, “I will buy back your lunch.”
“Oh great,” he said. “And I can buy yours.” He said willingly. He did look cute, but I’m hungry and he did offer to buy.
“Well sure” I agreed a little nervous.
“That’s ok, but–” He was cut off by his name being called.
“Jason!” Mckenzie a fellow jock said hollering his name. I glanced Jason as he gave Mckenzie the ‘hand shake,’ I saw Mckenzie look my way and I quickly turned away. I really didn’t want any problems because I didn’t come here to fight. And I ain’t start nothing, so what’s the problem? What am I so afraid of?
Regular Pov...
“JB who was that cutie you were talking to at lunch?” Mckenzie asked as they walked towards the locker room. He smiled
“She said her name was Lena.” Jason said as he thought of her. The way she squealed over chicken when her tray was full of food. He thought it was cute.
“So Jb, did you check out that site I told you about?” Jason nodded.
“I took a quickie of it. And I did join. But it really seems gay.” Mckenzie laughed.
“Look all I know is it’s a true chick magnent. Especially with the cheerleaders.” Jason stopped and stared at his friend.
“I am not desperate bro, I’m single.” Mckenzie raised his hands in defense.
“I never said that. I’m just tryna get you a hot date for the dance.” Jason pushed Mckenzie into the wall playfully.
“You wanna find me a girl, start with her intelligence and personality.”
Jason continued turned to look at his friend. “Then maybe looks.”
It was around 8:20 in the morning as I woke up. It was like I hibernated from Monday to today Sunday. I wish I could do that, but can’t. Since it was Sunday I really don’t do anything. I would maybe go shopping, or walk to the park. But I was feeling lazy, so I walked to my computer and turned it on. As I waited for it to load I did the regular morning rutine. Brush teeth, wash hair, than change. Finally finishing that I sat in the computer chair and got on I didn’t get to finish reading peoples comments, even knowing there would be more.
Jason’s Pov...
A regular Sunday hearing dad blast gospel music, fighting with my sisters, and having good ol’ Sunday breakfast and dinner. Anyway I’m just sitting on my lap top surfing that blog-it site “Z” gave me. Really it reminded me of a write off or more like ghetto. Anyway I noticed the link ‘inbox’ say one unread message. So I clicked on it. As the page finished I have a message from ‘Mizz Lee’, subject Hi. Opening it, it read:
Dear Jason27 I saw you as a new member and would like to welcome you to blog-it. No I am not a moderator I’m just a regular user who wants to say a welcome. N E Way lemme stop embarrassing myself and be gone.
-MizzLee
I couldn’t help but smile. This person seemed to be nice and welcoming. Even if the message was weird and random it showed she noticed the small things even with the big. So I clicked on reply and began typing.:
Thank-you Mizz Lee for welcoming me.
-Jason27
I didn’t really know what else to type so I just said thank-you and clicked on her name with a picture beside it. It was obvious that she put her baby picture on it. Her page loaded and I scrolled through it reading little tings about her. She was s16 years old, she has five siblings, and she likes to dance. She said she was born in Jamaica and grew up there until she was about five. She didn’t have much on her page about herself. I saw she had a few blogs in the blog section. Curious I clicked on her first blog to read.
Lena’s Pov...
I had a message from Jason27, I was surprised that he responded because people never do. I was about to read his message when I got a PM(Private Message)Invite from him. I don’t really have much to do so I accepted. I have never talked in PM before so it was an experience, which seemed awkward.
Jason27:Hi, hw r u?
My heart started beating I didn’t know what to do or say to him. I’ve never met him. I don’t know him.
MizzLee:I am fine ty

Jason27:i’m kiddin diggin u 2 u seem down 2 earth n sweet
I blushed at my computer, I wish this Jason27 guy and me could meet in person. But even if we did what would he see in me. My fingers were frozen on the keyboard not knowing what to type.
Jason27:u there?
MizzLee:ya I wuz just thinkin

MizzLee:well...
Jason27:well..?
MizzLee:wen I think of myself n a guy guy I tend 2 cry

MizzLee:it happened a long time ago I had a crush and..
Jason27:and what exactly?
I looked down at the keys, than I heard mom call me to help make breakfast. “Alright mom, I’m coming.” I said replying to her.
MizzLee:i’m srry I g2g my mom needs me bye
I quickly logged off blog-it, thinking about this Jason27. A guy I barely know, can’t and never will see, but like.
Monday Morning...
Another day of school, another day of long class lectures with a side of being boring teachers. It was English class and Ms. Joseph didn’t show up. So the principle came in and told the class to read lesson 25 than he left. How pointless, it’s not really like a whole bunch of 9th-12th graders are really gonna read with no teacher. As soon as Mr. Johnson left everybody started talking.
Thank-God Misha was in this class because if not I would be a total loner slash reject. There was an empty seat to the right of me so she came over so we can talk.
“Lee what is with the rumor flying around school?” She asked as if I would know. First off shouldn’t she be telling me, than asking me?
“Misha what are you talking about? I asked.
“Girl, people talkin’ ‘bout you and Jason. They said he bought you lunch. Girl is there sometin’ you not telling me?” She questioned. I laughed
“Misha please, do you know how many girls are lined up to get him? What would he want in me?” Misha rolled her eyes.
“Oh so yall did have lunch.” She said in a singing way. Oh no now she’s making assumptions.
“Correction he bought me lunch.” I had to emphasize bought, people like Misha needs the emphasis to get the story down and straight.
“And that was only because I bumped into him and I bought his lunch, and he simple bought mine” I explained. Misha smiled deviously. Oh no, what is she going to do?
“So you wouldn’t mind if I asked him a few ‘things?’ ” Ok what is that suppose to mean?
“No– I mean yes!” I saw her turn her glance to Jason and a few of his friends he was talking to. She chuckled getting up.
“Misha.” I called rushing after her. She quickened her pace, and so did I. Doesn’t this girl know I’m from Jamaica? I use to race with family and friends when I lived there. I was hot on her trail when she took a huge leap to where Jason was sitting.
“Sorry to interrupt boys, Jason can I ask you something?” I grabbed her, pulling her back.
“Misha don’t bodda da bwoys dem. Dere talking.” I said changing my ascent a little. But it was too late, we both were popularities embarrassment target. Well at least I was.
Jason’s Pov...
“Misha please don’t bodda da bwoys dem. Dere talking.” I heard Lena say as if nervous or trying to stop something from happening. What ever she said made her hotter than she was. Misha seemed to struggle with Lena, but got enough time to talk.
“Do you think my friend is cute?” Cute wouldn’t describe her more like beautiful. I smiled should I admit it or not?
“And if I do?” I asked looking at Lena with my mesmerizing look. Misha smiled, wow she looked a little sexy. I watched her again struggle with Lena. But this time she pushed her in front. Exactly in my sight.
“Well Lena will have to answer that.” Misha purred. I opened my mouth to speak and the wrong words came out. Very wrong:
“Is there a problem ladies and gentleman?” Ms. Joseph’s stern, spine chilling voice asked. Oh no, no–no–no. Why now? Why did she walk in now? I could have had my first go at this girl.
Lena’s Pov...
Sigh of Great Relief! But now I have to redeem myself in the eyes of all might Ms. Joseph. “Um we needed a pen Ms. J. And we were asking Jason.” I lied I know cheesy and corny. But that was the first thing that came to my mind.
“ Do you two have your pens?” She asked believing my lie. I nodded, but Misha didn’t. I wuickly stepped on her food. Causing her to yelp.
“Ouch.” She said. Ms. Joseph glared us.
“Excuse me Misha?” Misha laughed a bit nervous.
“Um yes Ms. Joseph.” I glanced Jason who looked a bit disappointed. Wait no, I cannot be fooling myself. Was he really going to say yes? No–no.. Maybe that’s just the look I wanted to get our of him.
Jason’s Pov...
It all started in 6th Grade when a boi told I was u kno not cute. I liked him so much n he dissed on I would cry ’bout myself. Think I’m ugly n so on. Than 8th grade came, I wouldn’t eat. I believed that the way I looked deserved nuting more. I got skinny–made myself throw up–eat small amounts of dinner u kno. Everyday I look atmy life. I tend 2 cry myself to sleep, I tend 2 hide myself from da real world–a world that see’s me as ugly
For some reason I was attatched to this Mizz Lee. She had her own “sexy” but in a shy way. But thoughts brought me back to Lena. I don’t know what it is, but I’m digging her. Even though I have never seen pics of MizzLee I would say she’s beautiful. It angers me to know a guy would call a girl ugly. Hell he should be beaten. I relaxed in my chair.. I was a bit uneasy. I couldn’t get Lena off my mind. Once again browsing Mizz Lee’s page, I found myself again PMing her. I guess when I feel down she’s a pick me up. She was online, so why not?
Lena’s Pov...
MizzLee:should u be skool?
Jason27:lol, chill gurl I am
MizzLee:den do ur work, strive 4 excellence
Jason27:we don’t have work,computer class is usually a free period
MizzLee:sooo hows ur day goin’?
Jason27:pretty gud
MizzLee:don’t lie 2 me I can tell ur upset
Jason froze in his seat. Really how’d she know? He thought in his mind.
Jason27:hw’d u know?
MizzLee:i read between da lines.
Jason27:wuz I dat obvious?
MizzLee:sure were
Jason couldn’t help but smile.
Jason27:so y r u on? Don’t u have class young lady?
MizzLee:yea but I’m honor in most of my classes so my teacher gave me a free pass to da lab
Jason27:nerd n hottie sexy very sexy
I burst into laughter at his comment. Why couldn’t we meet face to face, and get to know each other?
MizzLee:i wuld be mad but ur too sweet to get mad at
Jason27:lol
MizzLee:so where do u live?
Jason27:i wuld tell u, but I’d have to kill u
MizzLee:well me first–I live in maryland
Jason27:no kiddin I do 2
MizzLee:freaky
Jason27:destiny
Destiny? What does he mean by that?
MizzLee:???
Jason27:i think us meeting is destiny
MizzLee:u never know
Jason27:i wish I always knew
MizzLee:r u flirtin with me?
Jason27:come on we’ve been doin’ this since I PMed u
He was in fact true, we actually started flirting a minute into our conversation. God could this be something? This Jason27 guy seems really sweet, but is he a fake? Or is he real?
AN:Well that’s where I stopped writing.. So review.. Yada yada... u know just review, tell me what you think. And Lena's screen name is a little messed up. it's suppose to be Mizz underscore Lee. But oh well. And also I know about the spelling errors. But also i know about the spelling errors when they are PMing each other, and everybody knows no one talks proper on the internet epecially when it comes to chatting. But anyway that its. hope u like it, my friend does. PS:REVIEW!!!!!!
