It's not always Black and White.

Two potential lovers, who never realised how much they needed each other until they met.

Bea, a black girl in a predominantly white school, believes that no one will love her and treat her as she should be treated because of the colour of her skin. However, her previous relationship with a black boy, Ryan, enlightens her and makes her realise that she can have a positive relationship with any boy no matter their skin colour.

When she meets Josh, she finds love, a love that she has never felt before. Someone that loves her for all of her imperfections and perfections.

But will it end well?

Will Ryan get in the way? 

You'll have to read to find out!

It’s not always Black and White

I sit downstairs on the sofa feeling pathetic. I can hear Grace shouting at Ryan, and Josh is saying something to him. 


But all I can think of is Josh. How I let him take a hit for me? I feel useless. Do I even deserve to be anyone's boyfriend if I can't just stand up for someone and have normal morals. 


I gather myself together , walk back upstairs and - 


There they are. My crush and my ex. Sitting on the same bed, fighting about me. 


"Babe," Ryan walks closer to me "we have decided it will be better if you and I get back togeth-" 


"NO. No we didn't" Josh stands up "We have decided that you have to pick one of us, because I'm sorry I can't be in your life Bea if you still have a boyfriend. I don't need this." 


Tears start falling. ONCE AGAIN. I honestly- 


"You know what," Theo chuckles "Bro, maybe they were right with the too much drama thing" 


"Josh, what the fuck is he going on about?" 


"No, Bea just ignore him, he's had a couple of drinks and-" 


"No!" Theo begins to slur his words "I know what I'm talking about, everyone always says DON'T DATE THE BLACK GIRLS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TOO MUCH DRAMA" 


That's it. I'm telling you, this was a sign. This was my sign to stick with Ryan, stick with what I know. 


Maybe he caused me pain and suffering. But it's someone I'm comfortable, and anyways there is always rain before sunshine? 


But why would Josh think anything like that, that's so unfair. What the - 


"Bea, you've interpreted this wrong. Someone told me this. That's it, don't worry about" 


"No, Josh. I haven't. And Ryan was right about you, you're just a player anyway. I don't have time for your nonsense. Ryan let's go" 


And that's how it went. That when I realised I hated Josh. I hated my crush. I hated my supposed love of my life.


Tears dry on their own
