Ryan Janae

Deflect.

Ryan POV

I hit my alarm clock hard as the time went off, rolling over I grunted as I looked at the time being 6:00.

  I swear, I didn't want to go but I had no choice. My body ached as I got up and headed for the shower. I washed my hair and blow dried it, before letting my fatigue stop me.

Looking in the mirror, I looked down at my flat iron, and turned it on. I gathered my clothes as I waited for it to heat up. Since I was going to be slaving all day, I grabbed a white soft tee jumpsuit and a white flora bra to go under it.

Coming back to the bathroom, I flat ironed my hair and smiled at how naturally long it had gotten. My highlights looked cute as I curled the ends  a bit.

   Grabbing my tan sandals, I grabbed my MK tote instead for today. Grabbing my computer, I carefully placed it in a holder before neatly placing it in my bag.

Grabbing the charger for it I stuffed it neatly next to it. I grabbed my airpods, and my phone charger and put everything together neatly.

Coming down the hallway, I could hear my mothers snores. I tiptoed down the stairs and silenced the alarm as I turned it off.

Going to the kitchen I grabbed a fruit cup, and headed out the front door. Walking down the sidewalk, it was pretty misty as I began my way to school as the morning was just beginning.

Looking at Maurice's house, I saw Lori's bookbag in the front seat. I looked away as I realized it meant she spent the night.

    Coming out of our neighborhood, I walked to the other side of the street quietly.

   In no time, I was at school, and I walked in as I saw Tyla sitting up there in the front. I mentally cursed as I walked into the office with Mrs. Turner.

Mrs Turner: Goodmorning Ryan." she smiled.

  I smiled back and sat across from Tyla as she glared at me. We sat in the tensionless silence before Principal C came in. He smiled at us both as he unlocked his office door.

You could hear him shuffling around as he got himself settled in his office.

Principal C: ladies." he called after he was done. I got up first but waited for Tyla to enter before me. She flipped her hair and I rolled my eyes as we came inside his office.

Principal C: Ladies, how are you this morning?" he said sitting in his chair.

Tyla: fine." she mumbled. I shrugged a smile as he nodded at us.

Principal C: for today and tomorrow you guys will be helping me and Mrs Turner. Ryan today you will be with Mrs Turner, and Tyla you will be up in the office with me." he said.

   Tyla sucked her teeth hard as he patted the chair next to him.

Principal C: Ryan, school starts soon. I am sure Mrs. Turner had somethings you can help her get started with." he said as Tyla plopped down.

  I nodded and left his office. Closing the door, I turned to Mrs. Turner and leaned over her desk.

Me: I am your assistant today." I said sort of happy. Mrs Turner was pretty, and kind. She was like the cool teacher who let you do what you want, as long as it was allowed.

Mrs. Turner: well Ms Ryan, you can start by helping me fill out this books for english classes today." she said pointing next to her.

  I raised my eyes at the stack of textbooks mounted on her counter.

Mrs. Turner: oh relax, it is not as bad. All we have to do is sign the teachers name, and stamp the expiration date on the inside. You take this half, and I'll take this one." she said.
