"Heath, I'm about to enter class. I can't talk with you right now," I tell him as I walk down the halls.

"Prys all I'm asking for is one date. I'll be the perfect gentleman," his voice projects through my phone speaker. Heath's been begging to take me out for the past week and a half.

I finally found my class. "Heath, I have to go. Byeee," I drawl before hanging up. I walk in and look around the class spotting a familiar girl.

"Raven!" I exclaim walking over to her. "I like your braids," I compliment her long box braids.

"Thanks. Just got them done. How's it going, I haven't seen you since we went to get ice cream?" She asks. I take a seat right next to her.

I shrug. "It's going. Don't know exactly how to pinpoint my mood. But so far good, I think," I ramble. Raven just laughs. "How's Tag? Haven't seen him in a while?" Not since the night I've seen Raven last.

"Football! That's all he ever does," she groans, annoyed. I laugh lightly. "But he's taking me out tonight. How about you? Heath," she raises her eyebrows up and down.

I chuckle. "He's been asking me out repeatedly but I keep denying him. Like just now before class on the phone," I retort. She hums approvingly.

"Play hard to get. If he wants you, make him come to you," she says.

"Oh don't worry I will," I assure. The professor walks in and begins talking. Turns out Raven is taking business too.

"Ten minutes left," Raven mutters under her breath. This feels like the longest class ever.

"Almost there," I laugh.

The doors burst open and two men walk in. "Prystyne Terrance!" Tag shouts.

"Oh my gosh," I mumble under my breath.

"What are they doing here?" Raven whispers to me.

"Hi babe!" Tag shouts at Raven.

"Sir I'm going to have to ask you both to leave," the professor kindly asks.

Tag and Ajax ignore him walking over to us. "It'll only take a second," Ajax assures. Ajax begins picking up my bags while Tag picks up Raven's.

"What are you guys doing here? I'm in class," I whisper. This is embarrassing.

"Stand up," Tag tells the both of us.

Raven and I look at each other before standing up slowly. We both let out a shriek being thrown over the boys shoulders. "Thank you for your patience. Have a good class everyone!" Tag shouts on the way out.

I slap Ajax's back repeatedly but it's no use. They wait until we get outside to drop us on our feet. I spin a bit from the dizziness but quickly recover.

"I could kill you both right now," I threaten. Ajax and Tag both point behind me. I turn around to see Heath leaning against the hood of his car. A pair of black shades on his face. "Of course."

I look at Raven. "Sorry. I'll see you next class," I assure. She laughs. "Go have fun. And say yes!" She exclaims. I wave before making my way over to Heath.

"What are you doing," I seethe through gritted teeth. Heath circles an arm around my waist pulling my body to his. He leans down kissing me, hard.

I cup his face as I kiss back. But pull away after a few seconds. "What was that?" I ask. He shrugs letting go of me. He walks over to the passenger seat door and opens it for me.
