Today Onika walked into school looking a bit different.I sat there and watched her trying to figure out what it.She was just off.She seemed a little bit more extra than usual."Hey girl how you doing?"she exclaimed as she closed in for a hug."Hey...wassup" I responded as I sat there clueless still trying to figure out what was so different.She noticed the confusing look on my face and then proceeded to say"It's my lipstick"as she chuckled.My eyes flew to her lips and then I let out a relieving laugh.

She never wears red lipstick.I thought to myself.Was she wearing it to impress someone other than me?She must have her eyes on someone else.I began to feel very insecure about where we stood in a romantic form.The entire day felt weird.I couldn't help but continuously think about why she put on red lipstick.I'll admit it, I am a bit jealous.I practically ignored her the whole day.I didn't want to even look at her.My heart was crushing with every glimpse I took at her lips.

Finally the last class was over and it was time to head home.I ran as fast as I could out of the building just to avoid talking to Onika.As I sat down on the bus ready to just go home and relax not thinking about her or anything,here she comes.And she decides to sit right next to me.The whole ride home was silent.I didn't say anything to her and she didn't say anything to me.

Finally my stop came, but to my surprise she ends up getting off too."Beyonce!"she yells.I continue to walk pretending that I didn't hear her."Bey, you can't ignore me forever"she said.as I replied with "Oh yes I can,watch me."I started to realize that she's right.I can't ignore her forever.How can you possibly ignore the one your in love with.I proceeded to turn around and look her in her eyes.She smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back.She ran to catch up to me and then we went to my house.

"Why did you ignore me the whole day?"she asked.I couldn't tell the actually reason because she might think I'm crazy."I don't know,today I just woke up a little annoyed."I said hoping she would just buy into it.We then proceeded to chill and we soon left to catch the ice cream truck down to road.She got her favorite, vanilla cookie crunch swirl as I got a normal cherry popsicle.

We walked into my house and watched some television.I looked at the clock and realized my mom was going to be home soon."We got to eat these a little bit faster."I said while in the middle of a brain freeze."Why?"Onika asked.She then looked at the time and it hit her.My parents don't allow ice cream in their house which is pretty dumb if you ask me.It was 3:05pm,only 2 minutes before my mom gets home.We knew we weren't going to finish I. Time so we just threw them out.

We ran to the window to check if she was pulling up,no car.We looked at the time it's was now 3:08pm.She was late.At this point we regretted throwing out that ice cream.We then went in my room and decided to throw on a movie.The movie had got pretty boring so we turned it off.We sat there in silence for a pretty long time.All we did was stare at each other.Not one word from me and not one word from her.
