"My Favorite Senior"
So the performance ended on a good note!
Yea!
The fat lady sang. We brought the house down.
Again things are on the up and up!
|
|
Afterward we did a little more running around, horsing around getting scolded
still very young, still very rambunctious. Then I spotted you know who! Who was standing all by himself
all by his lil' ol' lonesome. So I said "Why dear sir your performance was divine. How could we be blessed to
have one so fair to grace us with his presence." And he said "Why thank you my lady. You flatter me like none
other." We hugged we laughed. we exchanged more compliments. Say, Why don't we spend more
time together, he concluded. My response... a big OKAY! When, where....??? : ) !
We decided we would meet for lunch at school tomorrow since I didn't have
a car.
Yea for high school right! Right.
So later that night I got home late due to the performance in all
(wink, wink, . . .just kidding). "So how did things go Miss Jada?" my parents asked. Fine
blah, blah, blah this and that then lalala la la. It all whized by Mom and Dad and the rest of the nosey family.
Since I was tired and talking to fast in a high pitched squeek. They totally missed the "I have a lunch date tomorrow"
part. "Okay baby good night, get cha some rest you still have school tomorrow you know." YEA I KNOW !!!
Hmm, should I go for the classic roller set lion's mane, the flat ironed bob,
or feathered lefted bob? Hmm. I put on one of my Learner's catalog outfits high heals and stockings in all.
Cause ya know like my brother told me in Jr. High I had to represent. Meaning we as African-Americans
must present ourselves in a maner which displays dignity and respect for ourselves and for our ancestors. Now thats
proper, that's dapper, fresh and fly cause its mackadoshes, word up! I was trying to look like I was about business,
ya know professional. So I headed out of the door late as usual. But I know what I was on time for. You gussed
it bright and early for my lunch date with my friend. To my surpise he was already there. "Oh wooo its my favorite
senior!" "O Danny Boy la la la la la ladada!"(The old Irish folk tune) I sang. He was nice we exchanged pleasantries.
And you know what? we found out that we actually shared alot of things in common. "That's Astounding"
as Daniel would say. Imagine that we, I and Danny Boy appeared to actually share the same feelings on almost everything.
He actually appreciated and valued my opinion. "So what did you think of last nights performance." I rattled on and
on and then I breezed passed the part about Danny's got it where it counts and then. We laughed I gave the
reason why I said it and we laughed even more. "Say give me a kiss" Danny said. "Okay" so I gave him a peck
on the lips as usally and went back to talking la la la haha. "Wait a minute", he said. He thought that I
was joking. I was serious. OOO umm uh uh... Like I'm afraid of germs and mono or something! "Quit kidding
around and kiss me." So we did. Actually he kissed me and I did back to him what he did to me. Uh Oh!
So that continued on and there was the budding of a beeea-uuuu-tifwul frwiendship, Doc! And that
ladies and gentlemen was myyyy..... first kiss TADAH! "Okay you're gonna meet me back here tomorrow right?"
My head nodding "uh huh." In fact you can meet me here every day okay. Ooo how nice I'm gonna tell everybody we
got cool place to hang out." "Uh uh na na na. Just you." "Hey that might be even better!" From then
on we met everyday for lunch and grew even closer as the days flew by.

One day as I was walking into the room to meet Daniel, a mutual
acquaintance rushed in behind me. We had small talk told jokes. So Daniel was like "okay well see ya later."
Then our visitor said Okay dammit I'm a little concerned." "About what?" Okay our visitor began. where
do I start? How long have you two been meeting here? " About a week we replied. Ever things great things are
better than I planned. Okay let me start this way." What kind of things does little missy like to do at home."
You know what ... I was getting to that. "Honey what do you like to do at home?" I like to read, pray, sleep,

"I'm aware of that ... now. Shes okay. Shes a smart girl.. I think well be okay. " "You know Honey?(Daniel

again)." "Scratch that Daniel your a lucky man, part of me wishes that I was you. I mean wow that was hot" Our
visitor stated. Then we commenced to smootch again.
"You know I've never done it before." "Done what honey?
Oh damn. that explains what the problem is. For minute I thought I was gay or something. (Refering
to my hymen still being in place) "Huh?", because couldn't begin to fathom why he would say that. "Nothing."
Daniel continued. "No problem thats even better that way I'll know if your cheating on me on not. What you

Me llamo Juana
Danny and I were closer than two peas in a pod. We sat together on the
trip to Disney World with our choir. Just before the dress rehersal. They held auditions for some new movie.
I declined to audition, Danny needed attention. Then he freaked. "Honey I can't take it anymore!" I
said: "What ?"
Daniel: its this damn place, little kids runnin everywhere its about to make
my skin crawl. I'm way over this part of life."
Jada: "Well Danny I'm a kid." (Chuckle).
Daniel: "You used to be a kid until a couple of weeks ago, now
your my girl okay." Jada: "Okay Danny calm down. "
Daniel: "Okay Honey I'm glad I met you. If it wasn't for you I'd
think I'd leave right now. I'm a football player. I thought I could use this to keep my mind off of it. You know I almost skipped this one."
Jada: "But it counts for our grades its a good thing you didn't."
Daniel: "I had to keep an eye on you."
Jada: " Why? I don't do nuttin. So I began to sing "O Danny
Boy" along with a dance that ended with my heal on his shoulder.
"Whew, that was hot!" that along with hand claps. Hispanic lady:"Venga
aqui, chica!"
"Hola senorita!" I responded "Hola senora."
"Como esta?" "Muy bein y tu?"
Hispanic lady: Bein gracias senorita, Como se llama?
Me: Me llammo Juana en espanol. Pero yo hablo pequito espanol,
mucho ingles. My name is Jada in ingles.
She then excitedly signaled to Daniel to come over.
She asked who is he I said "he's my Danny" "Your Dad? Did she
say dad?" Danny responded "yeah whatever where do we sign." She said "okay write your information here" handing
Danny paper work.. Daniel asked "by the way what is this for?" She responded its the movie we were auditioning
for. We'll begin in the summer okay you guys... get ready! The part has some spanish." That'll be no problem.
Some guy behind the woman signaled something else to Danny and said
"you guys that was great. Okay what else, show me what cha got. "
Daniel: "Okay how much..." I said huh?
Danny - "Honey you just stay here and finish signing these papers,
I'll be right back. I'm just right over here. I have my eye on you."
"Okay Danny ha ha ha!"

So the dress rehearsal was fine. Everyone was excited. I met up
with Danny again and his wheels were turning. Daniel: "Honey lets go for a walk" So we walked and we talked.
Then I say the guy with thedark shades point his finger and nod his head. Suddenly Danny pulled me around the corner
and began to work his magic again. One problem though "Danny your hurting me!" "Just be quiet I'll be done in
a minute." "Wait Wait... I panted" "Honey what's wrong we do this all the time."
"Oops I did it again !"
Did what? Daniel asked. Then he turned his head trying not to but it
happened he burst out into laughter. Honey thats supposed to happened.
"Oh, I thought it was like peaing or something."
You know what? We'll talk about that later. Let me finish. Okay!"
Jada: "I gotta go to the bathroom."
Daniel: I'll be out here waiting.
So we lined up for the performance. I saw Daniel walking towards me. "Ooo Danny
you better get in place, its about to start." "Don't worry we got time. Come here" he said. He wrapped his
arm around me then boom everything went black. Then suddenly I was back again. I regained consciousness as he
walked away saying "see you after the show."

Happy Holiday Season 1986/1987!
So christmas came! My family held its usual gathering.
Everyone entered into grandmas house hugs, smiles, crackin jokes in all . Hey Jada how's school my aunt said.
I have a friend name Daniel la la la ha ha ha I blabled on. My Aunt as I continued to blab : "oh really, what else,
now is that right. Oh I'm sorry is this still Daniel that were talking about? Excuse me everyone! Is their anything
that Daniel does not do?"
"All right yo yo where dat nigga at dat got my cousin?" My
cousin yelled as he glided in the house doin' his pimp walk.
Everybody bust out laughing cause Danny is of the caucasion persuasion.
My cousin continued... "I mean, I just wanted to shake dat nigga
hand. I mean... DAMN!"
So New Year came. We all gathered together again
at grandma's house. My Aunt entered the house and proclaimed... "Alright ! Where are the Barbie twins."
I said "you have to include your daughter..., that's Barbie
triplets."
My Aunt then replied out loud so everybody could here:
"Okay! What did Danny do now?"
As she pretended to be directing a choir. Reason being one
of my other cousins would sit their and talk about her acquaintance as well. So back and forth "the Barbie twins" babbled
on. And everybodyelse ... they just laughed.
Then the voice of reason came to me. That is my 2 of
my brothers approached me. "Well well, lil heffa we hate ta steal ya thunda(thunder). However we must ask...Just
where is lover boy right now?" "You mean Daniel" I responded. "Alright well pardon me my mistake anyway thats
a question that deserves a response." So I sheephisly responded that "he was with his family and that he had a
girlfriend kinda, and that he didn't intend to date me... I guess were just friends." " So you say. So as friends what
do you do together?" one of the 2 said. "Like I said talking and hugging." "Sorry we missed the disertation
on Daniel, well I guess that's harmless." "Yeah um Baby Face Finsta, we just wanted to let ya know that seems a
little shady since none of these other knuckle heads oops I mean famiily members would say anything. Okay." "Okay" I
said back. I kinda went on with the rest of the day as usual. But when I got home I cried my behind off.
You know when we hit woman hood along with our friend we have to deal with depression. I started my menstral
cycle at 11 thats when I learned depression. At 18 years old was when I learned to do what I eventually did that night
quicker instead of letting things fester. I got on my knees and told the LORD the truth. I prayed and I cried,
then I was much better. As the holidays went on I kinda forgot my troubles. So much so that when vaction was over
when I approached Daniel it was like before 4 weeks past. "Oh hi my favorite senior" kiss, hug, bye bye.

"Like a virgin?"
The next day I walked into class early for some reason I had all this extra
time at lunch it was hot outside so I decided to see if I could get to class a few minutes early. I walked in the door
then Gasp! He had grabbed me by the throat. All right dammit I am tired of this what is wrong." "I don't know
what youre talking about." "Did you for get about me?" Now you know that I don't want to hurt you. I told
him why and he explained. You remember at Disney World when I left you what happend. I heard that you walked off
with that guy. I burst out laughin cause I am not interested in that guy. I explained " He hung out with the two
people that you left me with. They just wanted to sit there and smoke all day. You know I'm allergic to cigarette
smoke. My head was killing me I needed some air. I told them I'm going to go get on some rides and he said me
to. So I had to get on Space Mountain, Small World and Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain again. Just ask him,
I had wished that you were there the whole time." Okay I'm okay your right you passed my test. I was just testing
you. How do I know that you are who you say you are. I had to see if you were gonna do anything over christmas
vacation. And you didn't so I guess your my girl.
More and more people started coming to the classroom earlier and ealier after
lunch. Forcing Daniel and I to hug up under the teacher's desk or in the corner. One day someone said "Danny what
chu doin' ta Jada ta make her catch the Holy Ghost and speak in tounges." Before sneaking off we would mingle with everybody
jokin around. For some reason Daniel, our acquaintance and myself put you in the mind set of Tulio Miguel and Chel,
or Asmerelda, Phebus and the Jester. We would have people dying laughin at us. "Finally one day I said you
know these people startin to cut in on our time of sharing and togetherness." So we became creative and came up with
more times in the day to meet, we actually started to date at night.
In the springtime we attended the State vocal competition
at the University of Florida in Gainsville, Florida which required an overnight stay. I was sound asleep that night
when."Hey Jada wake up!" one of the roomies said as they shoock me.It startled the heck out of me. Then they all joined in"yeah
wake up Daniel wants to talk to ya." I said oh okay. So when the coast was clear I ran across the hall in my T-Shirt
socks and undies.
The next day I was on cloud nine. The details are to much for this website.
None the less we all packed up ate breakfast together. Daniel was the center of attention as usuall crackin jokes.
After I blurted out loud laughin drawing attention to whatever he said.
|
| Oh la Oh la ehh! |
|
| It takes 2 to make a thing go right! |
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I was in charge of the Daniel pep squad.
Since the first day when everyone was all bubbly and excited about new acquaintences. That was when I started up with
Daniel because he was the coolest cat around. As soon as I got a wiff of Daniel in the atmostphere, when he hit the
room "Ahhh Daniels here!" I'd excitedly proclaim. Then everyone would run to him "Yea Daniel" to hear what he had to
say. Of course we would do that for other upperclassmen but my main one was, my favorite senior.
But at breakfast Daniel and I held hands, I fed him we made kissy
face and rubbed noses. Finally someone said "Wait a minute! You two are a couple???" then everyone started
in "yeah I thought you guys were just kidding around with each other." Then another person said, "Its not fair... I
didn't know that Daniel would date a freshman." They just wouldn't shut up. Because Daniel and I attempted to
go on and ignore that ruckus. When I said "Daniel may I." Yes you may he responed. I started "You guys are being
rude to Daniel and I." "I'm in shock because you all already have boyfriends, can you all be happy for me?
They kept on bitchin. So I said "well all right! Daniel would you like to date anyone else in the school?"
he said "Ah Hell nawl, dealing with you is enough. You'll do just fine." so I concluded "Okay then, Sorry
guys but he's mine."
That was wierd, I said to Daniel. "Honey they all wierd you
ain't know that? That's why you are one of the few that I deal with. Anyway I'll be outta here in a
few weeks." Daniel said.
