It's Just High School : Book 1

Winner Takes All...

**** Two Weeks Later ****

** Aaliyah's POV **

" im so happy y'all decided to try out for the cheerleading team with me , after they rescheduled it I was sure y'all was gone back out " Simone squealed

" ya I guess might as well , nothing else too do " I said closing my locker

" girl I was going to try out regardless , after I seen they uniforms I knew I had to get in one " Daijah said closing her locker as well

" well I didn't know if you would still want to li you know Jasmine is the captain of the team " Simone went on

" okay and ? What's that supposed to mean " Daijah said putting her hands on her hips

" I guess I mean it's not like she's with demarcus plus as far as her and every one else's concerns we just two people who share the same friend group and art class " I shrugged

Not really concerned about Jasmine or the try outs I continued on walking to class. It was the last period of the day and then after school we were going to try outs for the schools cheerleading team.

" if you say so but I'm just happy we all trying out " Simone said

" mhm well I'll see you guys later " Daijah said

" flag pole?" I questioned

" flag pole" they both said and then we all went our separate ways.

Ever since me and demarcus hung out a couple weeks ago we've been texting none stop. At school we keep it cordial so nobody gets no ideas about anything but I can definitely tell we feeling each other.

I walked down the hall to Mrs Johnson class and made my way inside. Like clock work I went to my set and got out my sketch book titling it

' Aaliyah Torres

Art Class - Mrs Johnson 7th Period '

Just as the bell rang demarcus stumbled into class

" mhm almost late again mr thompson " Mrs Johnson said looking over her glasses

" I'm sorry teach , coach was holding us up " he said out of breath and walking towards his seat , that happens to be next to me.

" have a seat " she said unfazed.

" what's up " he said turning towards me and taking out his sketch book

" damn you got a pencil , I can't find mine and you know she don't like when we use mechanical pencils in her class " he ranted on

" chillll it's cool I gotchu , here and I want it back" I said handing him a #2 pencil

" ughmmm ,  today class we will get started for our quarterly projects you will need to partner up with some one , you'll have till the end of the first quarter , before Christmas break to complete it. The assignment is to draw your true perception of life and a 4 page essays on the true meaning of modern art, properly cited " Mrs Johnson went on to say while also writing the key points on the board.

" Now you have 3 minutes to pick a partner and afterwards one of you will need to come up here and write down you and your partners name " she proceeded to say.

I didn't really talk to anyone in the class outside of demarcus , and everyone else pretty much had there friends in here. Everyone scurried to the people they typically work with in class on a daily anyways. Leaving me kind of stuck on who I should be partners with.

" Demarcus , if you don't have a partner I'd like to be partners with you "  this girl said to demarcus while twirling her hair , it's clear she's trying to do more than just the assignment with him
