Next Day
Picture: Daniel

Daniel shakes his head "Nah Nah Mums I could move her."

I chuckle "Listen, no matter what game you spin, Danielle isn't gonna be interested!"

We're currently sitting in the hospital with Tasharn, who's currently asleep. It's about 3pm, we've been here since visiting hours started in the morning. Danielle left to go to the library and said she'd come back after. On the way out, Daniel tried to move her again and she just carried on walking. Now we're all teasing him about it.

"She hasn't met a guy with my game though."

I scoff. "Obviously it's not that special."

"Dead, I could change your life!"

"Skeen, even my game is better than yours." I chuckle.

"What? Charlie and the chocolate factory?"

All the guys start laughing.

I kiss my teeth "Brandon you're a snake!!"

"I-I had to!" He says between laughter.

I get up and hit his arm.

"What happened?" Felicia asks.

Oh yeah, her and Talia came to the hospital too today. They don't really know Tasharn but seeing as the mood is lifted and it's more chill settings than before, we said it would be calm if they came. Besides, it's half term, if Tasharn wasn't in hospital we'd all be chilling anyway. Ava is here too. Her and Jamal have been dealing for nearly 2 years now, all the guys know her. This is the first time I've met her in person, she's really nice!

I shake my head and screw Brandon "Nothing!"

Snitch.

"Basically, your friend here tried to move Brandon." Rakai chips in, still chuckling.

I roll my eyes. He never knows when to shut up!

"I knew you two were doing a ting!" Justine says.

I scoff. "It was a joke man, that's bro."

Brandon immediately gets up and leans over me "Call me bro again."

Can't lie, he looks very attractive right now. He smells like the chocolate lynx too, which is buuuufff. Usually he wears men's cologne though so it's a different smell, even though it's still nice. But I'm also like, how did he have time to get a trim when we've been in the hospital all week. He always looks fresh.

I push him back "Ew get out my space!"

He kisses his teeth then sits down again.

"Ok aaanyhoo, all I'm saying is, give me a few days and Danielle will be mine. She'll be on me like toast." Daniel rests his hands behind his head confidently.

Everyone laughs at him. He's chatting the most. On me like toast?? I think he means bread and butter.

"Always chatting shit D.Mulla, from day one." Tasharn says, chuckling.

We immediately look over at him. He stretches, now fully awake from his nap. Zanisha slaps the back of Daniel's head. "You woke him up!"

"Nah, I've been awake for time, just been listening to your conversation. And Kyrah's right by the way, I tried to move Danielle ages ago, that girl is suttin else." He chuckles.

"WHAT?! You liked Danielle?!" I exclaim.

I never would've thought it! And I can't believe she didn't tell me. Then again, it probably wasn't that deep to her. I bet she didn't even notice.
