6th Grade: A song by Carlee
Let me tell you about me, but I don’t know what to say, It started in the sixth grade. I met this boy the right way. He said what is your name, what bus do you ride and how old are you. I said Carlee 110 and I am thirteen. He said let me get one thing straight do you live in Wood Creek. Yes I do oh that is so cool, what street do you live on. Thorne Creek, I said Rose Heath. Carlee would you like to go to the park someday. Thank you but I don’t even know your first and last name. He said Darren Brantley that was so amazing.
How about today Carlee, and I said ok.
What are we going to do? Just talk and get to know you. He said, do you have a boyfriend? I said no. How about we get together and I’ll sing you a note. He was like you sing I sing we both sing for ice cream. Tell me more about you, Ms. L****. Valentines rolled around the corner and I didn’t receive a gift. I brought him a watch and a cute card too. The watch came from the side of the road but it’s the thought that counts the most. I was expecting a little something I waited all day long. But when I got back on the bus he said sit next to me. I was like hell no he grabbed my hand he said please give me one more chance. He said Carlee close them beautiful brown eyes and when I open them I nearly had a heart attack and died.
He had a ring beautiful and pink; I didn’t know what to say.
He got on one I was like boy what are you doing we only in the sixth grade. He said carlee promise me you will never leave my side, I said Darren I will never leave your side until you die. Three years down the road, I was like Darren you need to go because you are not going down the right road.
He said carlee you tripping girl you need to stop flipping. I was like what about three years ago when you got on one knee and you told me to close them beautiful brown eyes, and when I opened them, I nearly had a heart attached and died. He said carlee you need to stop because I do not know what you talking about quit tripping carlee I stole the ring from Jenny so you would have something on Valentine’s Day he said carlee don’t sweat it cause I am cheating on you any ways. I took off the ring and I said here you go I don’t want to see you any more he said carlee where are you going I said back to my man where I belong he grab my wrist he said who is this boy, and do he go to our school.
I said yes Darren it is your little brother and you are not going to nothing about it. Why are you so worry about me? He said I love you carlee, baby please give me one more chance I could not go to sleept that night because all I thought about was that fight. I called Darren up on the phone I said baby I need to talk to you I said I can’t live life like this anymore I am sorry, for every thing my and your brother was just a little thing. I promise I will never leave your side until you close them beautiful brown eyes.
