Chap. 1

"I mean, it's only two weeks...it can't be that bad.." I say.
"Right." Kiara says.
I brush my hair out.
"Hold up my mom's calling me, i'll call you right back bestie." Kiara says in an annoyed tone.
"Alright." I say. I look down at the phone and she hangs up the FaceTime.
I continue to brush my hair.
I get a notification on snapchat.
I unlock my phone and look at it.
"Um what..." I say in my head.
The notification said: Zayvier
I open the app and look at the message.
I read the message.
"You look good" the message says.
"Bruh what the fuck..". I hold in a small laugh.
I reply to the message.
"Thankss ❤️"
I close the app and continue to brush my hair.
I get another notification 30 seconds later.
"Damn." I say quietly.
I open it.
"No problem." He says.
I close the message and post another photo to my story. I caption it: "Red really looks good on me."
I post it.
Kiara calls me back.
I pick up.
"Hey girl, sorry my mom called me about some bullshit." She says in an annoyed tone.
I laugh. "It's good girl." I pause afterwards.
"Tell me why, Zayvier texted me on snapchat?" I say with a smirk on my face.
"Oh my god i know him, he's in my Spanish class..he's kinda weird." She says. She laughs a bit.
"I've known him since 4th grade, he's always been the class clown to be honest...i've never had an actual conversation with him though." I add on.
"What did he say?" She asks.
"He swiped up on my story and said i looked good."
She gasps. "Oh my gosh Niyah..he probably likes you..". She laughs a little. "You should talk to him!".
I look down.
I get another notification.
Notification: Zayvier
"He texted me again..". I look at the camera kind of annoyed.
"Open it!" she said excitedly.
I open it putting her on pause.
The message was a response to my post.
"Red does look good on you."
"Okay now this is getting weird Kiara..." I say.
"What'd he say?" She asked.
"He said red looks good on me.." I said in a weirded out tone.
"Umm..what the fuck, that's lowkey creepy.." she laughed nervously.
I text him back.
"Oh wow, thank you." I respond.
"Bitchhh, are you excited for your birthday?" Kiara asks excitedly.
"Yes, i just don't know what i'm gonna do.." I say.
I close the app and take Kiara off pause.
"Yeah facts, you should figure that out soon girl!" She says.
"Ugh, my moms home i'll talk to you tomorrow bestie, love you!" Kiara says.
"Alright girl, love you too!". I hang up.
I wrap my hair and lay down.
I get a notification again.
Notification: Zayvier.
I look at my phone.
I sigh and open the message.
"No problem." he replied.
I turn my phone off and lay down drifting away to sleep.

A WEEK LATER...

I wake up.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY GODSISTER!!!" my godsister yells.

She's been at my house for a day to help me plan for my birthday.

"Thank you!!" I say smiling brightly and rubbing my eyes.
I hug her.
I walk downstairs.
I see a bunch of gifts on the table laid on pink gift bag stuffing.
I gasp.
I call my mother who was at work at the time.
"Hello?" she says.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH MOMMY!!" i yell.
She laughs. "You're welcome sweetie, i'll be home in an hour." she says.
"Okay, love you so much!" i say.
"Love you too." she hangs up.
I begin to open my gifts with my sister.

1 HOUR LATER..

I grab my phone and open snapchat.
My messages are flooded.
I reply to tons of people.
I see two people in particular.

Erick🤍
New Chat 💬
Zayvier
New Chat 💬

I opened Erick's message. Erick had been my crush for over a year now. I was hung up on him since freshman year.
Message: "Happy birthday Eniyah🎉"

The fact that he even said my name made my heart jump, it was bare minimum.
I replied quickly.
"Thank you so much ❤️❤️"
I then swiped out and opened Zayvier message.
Message: "Happy Birthday 🎉"
I replied blandly.
"Thank you."
I finished replying to the rest of the messages and celebrated my birthday.

2 WEEKS LATER...

I swiped across people's stories in pure boredom. Kiara was asleep for half of the day so i waited for her to text me when she had awaken. I put my phone down and watched TV.

NEW NOTIFICATION: SNAPCHAT
i look down at my phone and open it.

Snapchat: Zayvier

"Bruh.." I say annoyed.
I open it in curiosity.
"Hey"
"Seriously..." i say under my breath.
"Hey 👋" I reply.
He starts typing.
"What's up"  He says.
"Nothing much, You?" i reply.
He starts typing.
"Nothing much either, how's your quarantine?"
I sigh. I was visibly bored of the conversation but i kept talking to him. Minutes turned to hours and i had began to start actually liking the conversations. We began to text everyday.

A MONTH LATER....

NEW NOTIFICATION: SNAPCHAT
Snapchat: Zayvier 😊

I open the message.
"Hey, I have a question" he said.
My stomach turned a bit.
"What's up?" I replied.
He starts typing.
He sends a picture. It's 3 cards.
"Pick a card."
I laughed.
"The 3rd one." I reply.
He starts typing.
He sends another photo. Its the card i picked. It says:
"Lemme get your number"
I laughed.
"I just laughed so loud, good one."
I thought about it for a second.
I sent him my number.
I get a text message a few seconds later.
He sends me a meme from the number and i laugh at it.
I save him contact to my phone and we stop texting on snapchat and begin texting in messages.

1 YEAR LATER...

"You know what Zavier, I'm deadass done i try so hard to make this relationship work but you can't take anything serious..you don't even care you're just too nonchalant for me..i'm going away for a while, you need to decide if you care and want to stay in my life..or if you don't care, if you want to stop pretending you do, and if you want to leave me alone. Goodnight." I responded.

Wait..you're probably wondering why i just said that...what did he do?

Well first, let's go back to a year ago.

1 YEAR AGO..

"You know Tamika?" He asks.
"Oh yeah, of course i do..she's my good friend." I respond.
"She used to like me, but i never liked her back i used to ignore her." He says.
I tilt my head. I get this odd feeling in my stomach that i used to feel when i talked to Erick. I didn't know what it was.
"Well, why..? She seems like a nice,pretty girl. She's pretty funny too." I text back.
"Yeah she is."
"I don't know why i rejected her."
"I think i might like her."
My stomach dropped for some reason.
Sadly i knew what this feeling was now.
I liked Zayvier.
