My name's Alonzo, which is quite unfortunate. I've looked at hundreds of websites and they've all said:
Origin - German
Gender - unisex
Meaning - want a fight
Alonzo sounds boyish, so I generally get picked on. Im 17 which usually means I can stand up for myself however being this bullied person I am, I am not big brave and bold and I most certainly do NOT want to start a fight!
I have stunning blue eyes, my mother says they're like the ocean, my lips are as red as a rose and my hair is the exact shade of yellow ad the sun. Some people (family) say I'm beautiful and pretty, others mock me and say,'have you looked in the mirror this morning?' it's just typical really.
I've told my mum about it, she just nods and says,'you'll live.' or,'it won't last forever.' the thing is, it pretty much has lasted forever.
I have never had a boyfriend and I have never had my first kiss.
Having a single parent like mine, it's difficult to not go stir crazy, my mum is mad like a nut. She has bounce brown curls in a neat bob just under her ear and she must be mad to call her daughter Alonzo.
I walked down the oak stairs from my bedroom to find her sat at the kitchen table scrolling through a dating website. I sigh and put bread into the toaster,"Morning mother." I say as I pour a glass of apple juice from the fridge,
"Morning Alonzo. Oh damn, look at the time im going to be late for work! Sorry hun, be back at 2am. Teas in the freezer." she yelled at me, while rushing through the house and collecting all her work stuff and rushing through the door. Typical mum, I honestly think her hair colour is blonde describing how dosie she is and clumsy. That sort of isn't true though, blondes are incredibly clever…just have to work a little harder to be clever!
I finish my toast and look at the time, it's a Monday. Mondays are so depressing. I climb up the stairs and walk into my room, 'what should I wear today Alonzo?' I asked myself, while picking out a pair of 'Short' denim shorts and a Holister vest. I looked in the mirror while admiring myself, purple converse now and I'm all ready for the torture to begin!
I jumped downstairs and grabbed my bag and key so I could go. I locked the door and hopped in my little white mini and drove to school. Apparently there was someone new suppose to start today in my year, hopefully the rumours wont spread to them and we could be friends. I've never had friends, they've always mocked me and dissed my name or my hair.
I parked my car while jumping out and locking it just in time for the bell to go. I hurried inside the block and grabbed my books out of my locker just in time for someone to tap my shoulder. They did it again, normally I would just ignore this and walk away, however this time I didn't, I turned around to become face to face with him. The newbie," Hello, I'm Bobby. Where is," he said while stopping to check his planner,"is…locker 286?" oh damn. It was the liked right next to mine,
"Right here," I replied while pointing to the locker below mine, the floor locker.
"Thankyou, it's nice to meet you, err,"
"Alonzo, stupid name, I know... Everyone mocks it, you can to." I sighed and closed my locker before trying to walk away and feeling someone's arm holding me back,
"If someone mocks you about a beautiful name like that then they are going to kill me. Bobby is a girls name, Alonzo is amazing, don't let them bring you down." he said, I smiled and took his planner sheet and lead him to his next class, which was surprisingly mine. Maybe I did have a new friend.
Bobby came and took a seat next to me, his straight brown hair, curling at the edges and his smile is for a male model, his eyes are like the insides of a caramel, chocolate truffle. Gorgeous and delicious!
The whole way through the lesson, Bobby kept on looking at me and distracting me with his deep eyes and model worthy smile.
Soon, lunch came by and I never usually had someone to sit with for lunch, id just grab a bottle of water and sit by the bottom of the gardens,
"Hey, Alonzo. Dinner, what do you do?!" Bobby grinned and I smiled back, while walking towards the cafeteria,
"Well, I normally get a bottle of water and an apple and sit at the bottom of the gardens... We can do what you want if you want… I'm sticking with my apple and water though!" I chuckled and stuck my tongue out grinning, I was really beginning to like this guy!
"Okay then..." he smiled and then coughed health freak! I shoved him and carried on walking only to get a shove as well,
"Heyy! have you ever heard a saying ,'can't hit a girl?'" I asked him while rubbing my unscratched arm, pulling a moody face,
"Yeah I think I've heard that, it's a load of rubbish though!" Bobby laughed and we stopped walking,
"Alonzo, you're beautiful. " he said and I smiled and shoved him again, was I really? He is so sweet!
"Thank you. Your not half bad your self!" I grinned and carried on walking to the distant food court.
"Finally we are here. I was considering to eat you!!" Bobby snickered and I hugged myself away from him and smiled, I queued up for my use and waited for Bobby to turn up with:
Pasta
Chips
Pizza
A sandwich
An apple
Two slices of bread
A kitkat
And a boost!
"Who are you feeding? The entire school?" I mocked and pinched a chip,
"Well, you just ate one of my chips! Soon you'll be scoffing my pasta and who are you going to thank?!"
"The lunch lady?" I laughed and showed him my eating spot while laughing in unison with him.
"Do you think it's going to rain? I hate the rain and I haven't brought a coat!" I grumbled to myself while faint little water drops trickled down from the clouds,
"I think so! Here, have this," Bobby said while shrugging off his coat,
"Aww! You are so sweet, thankyou!" I smiled, still sat in my lunch spot.
Suddenly I felt warm, soft lips crush against mine. My first kiss.
I ran my fingers through his hair and he did the same with mine, he pulled away and looked grumpily at my hair,"Seriously. Does this have to be in a ponytail?!" he moaned, and before I answered with, 'yeah it does...' he had tugged my bobble out and continued kissing me.
I felt his fingers knot my hair and his tongue brush against my lip, I loved him so much at this moment.
I ended the kiss this time and placed my forehead on his,"Bobby?" I asked him while smiling running my fingers through my hair,
"Um-hum."
"I-I....." I couldn't say it, I was too much coward,
"I love you." he grinned and started to kiss my ear lope and then worked his way down my jaw until finally he kissed my impatient lips.
"Yeah...I do.....I love you..." I smiled, relieved that I admitted it,
"Alonzo Gold, will you care to be my beloved girlfriend and hopefully wife?" he asked me grinning, I put my lips back on his and in between kisses I replied with,
"YES. I. DO."
