Self Confidence (Chapter 14)
Holly and Jasente were sitting down next to each other against the wall.
Jasente was about to open his box of food till Holly put a palm in his face.
-
Jasente Evans
Holly?
-
Holly Petal
Hold up Frato
-
She then rummage through her bag and pulled out two lunch boxes
-
Holly Petal
I cook for me and my brother so I um well…-
-
Holly got super red in the face as she was speaking
Holly Petal
I wanted to make you something... AS A APOLOGY FOR HELPING ME NOTHING MORE
-
Jasente smiled and took the box of food.
He then opened it and the smell of the food entered his nostrils.
Jasente immediately went in and moaned in ecstasy
-
Jasente Evans
HOLLY THIS IS DELICIOUS!!!!!
-
Hollys heart pumped so hard to those words
-
Holly Petal
Really? Its good…
-
Jasente Evans
YES OMG!!!!!!
-
Jasente was destroying the food she gave him.
Holly simply watched
-
Holly Petal (in her head)
I'm so happy he liked it....
-
After Jasente ate they talked about the most random subjects.
-
Holly Petal
Frato no that's stupid
-
Jasente Evans
Nooo trust me.
If you put barbecue on pizza its actually good!
-
Holly Petal
Ewwww
-
Jasente Evans
See you don't know taste
-
Holly Petal - Said by the person who just destroyed the food I made for him
-
Jasente Evans - .....
-
Holly Petal
And the cookie crumbles
-
Jasente Evans (in his head)
Damn she got me there
-
Silence bestowed upon the two friends and Jasente thought to himself
-
Jasente Evans (in his head)
I'm just too weak.....
-
The thoughts from last night still had weight on him.
Soon the bright smile Jasente had was fading and Holly noticed it quickly.
She put a hand on his cheek saying
-
Holly Petal
Frato whats wrong
-
Jasente looked at her
-
Jasente Evans
Nothing.
Just thinking
-
Holly Petal
Don't lie to me Frato
-
Jasente Evans
To be honest I don't know
-
Holly Petal
You don't know?
-
Jasente Evans
Well its just I... I'm still upset about what happened
-
Holly Petal
Frato please don't worry about it.
It was my fault to begin with
-
Jasente Evans
No.
I wish that I was stronger…
-
Holly Petal
Stronger?
-
Jasente Evans
Yes.
I want to be strong but its not for me
-
Holly scooted closer to Jasente.
-
Jasente Evans
I realized when I was a kid that the dream I had was not a reality.
-
Past
-
Teacher

-
As the kids were screaming what they wanted to be, Jasente was in his seat waiting his turn.
-
Laylani Shield (as a kid)
What do you want to be Ja.
-
Jasente Evans (as a kid)
I want to be strong
-
Laylani Shield (as a kid)
Really I want to be a scientist just like my daddy. What about you Mia
-
Laylani Shield (as a kid)
REALLY YOUR ASLEEP!!!!
-
Jasente bopped her on the head saying
-
Jasente Evans (as a kid)
SIS WAKE UP
-
Mia Evans (as a kid)
Huh
-
Teacher

-
Mia Evans (as a kid)
UH UM CATS!
-
Everyone laughed at her.
Even the teacher giggled a little.
MIA sat back down and gave a death face at Jasente.
Laylani stood up and said what she wanted to be and sat down.
It was now Jasente's turn.
He stood up proudly
-
Jasente Evans (as a kid)
I WANT TO BE STRONG JUST LIKE MY MOM
-
Dave Lambert (as a kid)
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
-
Jasente turned to see Dave laughing
-
Dave Lambert (as a kid) - You are a nerd!!!!
So of course its not anything awesome
-
Jasente Evans (as a kid)
SHUT UP DAVE ITS WAY AWESOME.
-
If you train hard enough you can do anything.
It's what my mom says
-
Dave laughed even harder
-
Dave Lambert (as a kid)
Your mom has been training to get your dad back
How is that holding up
-
Jasente Evans
D-Dave..
-
He then walked to Jasente and whispered in his ear
-
Dave Lambert (as a kid)
You will never be great.
You are a looser and will stay a looser.
Just like your daddy!
-
He then pushed Jasente on the ground and stomped on him
-
Dave Lambert (as a kid)
Come on guys beat his ass!!!!!!
-
All of Daves friends went and stomped on Jasente.
Jasente cried begging them to stop.
Laylani tried to protect him but got pushed by one of them.
MIA threw a table and beat the shit out of most of them before the teacher broke it up.
When Jasente got home he trashed his room.
He destroyed all games and toys.
MIA went in his room but saw something that scared her for life.
Jasente was crying on his bed and the look in his eyes made MIA freeze.
He was broken.
-
Present
-
Jasente was shaking as he told Holly about his past.
Holly couldn't believe what she was hearing
-
Holly Petal
Dave was that mean towards you
-
Jasente Evans
Yeah... because of him I realized my dream was simply not going to happen.
So I went for science and became a science buddy with Laylani.
I studied really hard and got good grades but it never really felt good.
It felt more like a job than something I enjoyed doing.
-
Holly Petal
Be strong Frato.
Not just outside but inside as well.
-
Jasente took in what she said and nodded.
He then hugged her saying
-
Jasente Evans
Thank you Holly
-
Holly Petal
Your welcome Frato
