By Your Side - New Beginnings

Chapter 2 - First attempt

Jhene's P.O.V.

I got my tray and started looking for Alanni. I had no other person to sit with. When I got to the table, it was only Shay and Alexus.

"Hey guys, where's Alanni?" "Oh she's just getting her some napkins." Shay said. "I'm back." Alanni said "Hey." "Hey girl." she replied. "How were your classes? Was everything going good?." She asked.

"Yea, everything was good." "So, did you meet anyone? See any cute guys ?" Alanni asked while doing a little shoulder dance.

"Well actually-" "August! Hi!" Alanni said while smiling. "Hey Lanni, and others." August said waving before looking at me.

He turned to me and said "Hey Jhene. Wassup?" "Nothing much... just eating lunch, whatever this stuff is." I say with a little disgust.

I notice Alanni looking a little frustrated. "I can get you some real food if you'd like. I'm never eating this junk, I might die. And I certainly wouldn't want you dying." I blush a little.

"Well that's really sweet of you, but I think I'm good." "Aww that's too bad ma."

I laughed. He was so cute! I swear he had been the best thing about this school since I've arrived. "Well, I will see you girls around. Take care ma." August winked at me, my heart instantly melted.

"So." I said. "August is so sweet isn't he?" Alanni asked. "Yea. He is. I am so lucky to have him in my first hour, he will make my day everyday." I said laughing a little. "So do you..... do you like August?" Alanni whispered. "Actually, yea I do."
