Walking out of the principals office made me feel untouchable and getting an apology from him made my day even better. I know I had said that I was gonna hate it here but I think I'm willing to give it a chance. Anna, Serena and her other friend Rayaa, I think, looked at me like I was some foreign object. A piece of me wanted to buck but I knew I was still on thin ice even if Principal Morris apologized, so I kept walking.
I sat down in my first class of the day, English, well American Literature but it was more like a debate class where the teacher and this one kid debated back and forth on whether "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Huckleberry Finn" was really racist or not. So like every class I took this opportunity to get in the extra hours I knew I needed to get through the rest of the day.
Even though my eyes were closed I could feel this presence looking at me from across the room. I didn't want to open my eyes and it be the wicked witch so I decided to stay sleep but it kept bugging me so I opened my eyes. It was Matt.
Oh yeah I forgot he was in this class. I thought to myself.
"Yes Matthew?" I ask sarcastically
"Oh nothing," he replied back " I just wanted to see if you could notice me staring at you even though you were sleep."
I roll my eyes, God he reminds me of a little brother that you want to punch but know you can't because you know you'd get in trouble.
"Well if you don't mind I would like to finish my nap without anymore interruptions" I close my eyes for not even a second and the bell rings. I turn back to Matt, and give him the dirtiest look.
"You know I hate you right?" I ask
"Now why would you say you love me like that?" He says bursting out laughing at my pain.
We get up and walk out the room. I look at my schedule on my phone

Early Release 2:25
Since it was senior year we were able to choose to stay for the other three periods or to get a job in the school and work in the library or the theater or help the sports teams. I decided to go home but today and the rest of this week I had to go to detention.
The rest of the day was interesting but a blur. I blanked in Stats. American Gov was boring but my teachers hot so that's good. Physics is going to kill me but I have it with Jay so it's not as boring. Having 5th period gym is annoying. It's full of football players and cheerleaders and I would much rather take health but I don't take that until next semester.
Somehow me, Jay, Matt, Manny and Sam all have the same lunch period even though I'm pretty sure Manny and Sam have a free period and decided to chill with us in the cafeteria. I walk to Psych with Sam and Manny and then I leave to go to detention.
As I walk to detention I decide to call my mom. It goes to voice message. She must be mad at me so I decide to leave a message.
"Hi mommy, I'm gonna be home late today and the rest of the week which you know cause I have detention for the fight. I know you're mad at me cause you aren't answering your phone but just wanted to let you know that I love you." I sigh and hang up. She could very well be at work but I think she's home.
I hear fake sobbing and clapping behind me.
"Bravo bravo" was Matt's stupid ass voice
"That truly brought me to tears" was Manny
"Encore encore truly a masterpiece" was the only voice I didn't recognize and then they burst out laughing.
"I didn't know you had emotions" Jay said "that was truly an amazing performance."
"Well you did just meet me soo. I can't pull out all my cards at once." I say in a sarcastic tone. Manny starts to mimic me. I choose to ignore them because there's no point hitting them.
"Where's Sam?" I ask throwing my bottle at Manny.
"He leaves last period to go to work." The new voice replies back to me. I look at him at my mouth drops. I had never seen him with the guys before but something about his voice was deep and raspy and I wanted to hear it more.
He was the finest lightskin I had seen since I got to New York. His jaw was structured by gods and his eyes were the prettiest shade of chocolate you could get lost in for hours. He was taller than the rest of the group but not that much. He's probably about 6'3 and the rest of the guys were 6'0, Manny was 6'2 so he was right up there with him.
"Earth to Amari, close your mouth you don't want to swallow a fly." I didn't even notice my jaw dropped I snapped out of it and pretended to bite Jayce's finger.
"I'm Isaiah but everybody calls me Zae." He introduced himself and I waved. I turn back to Matt "So, what are we all getting into on this wonderful Thursday?" I ask jokingly trying to fill the silence.
"I gotta take my little brother to his dance class" Manny answered.
Matt hits him "Look at you being a great big brother man," he laughed then answered my question "I'm going to link with some shawty I met in my class we got homework to do" he winked and I pretended to throw up.
Jayce said he was going to play 2k and then hop on Apex when the rest of them got home. They all dapped each other up, hugged me goodbye and went their separate ways leaving me and Isaiah standing there alone.
"Sooo," I said first "what are you bout to do?"
He just pointed to the classroom door "Detention, which according to your phone call you have too." He smirked at me and walked through the door.
