"Ma'Kai Hastings, please report to the front office"

I gathered my belongings as the students in my class well the boys in my class dog whistled as I made my way out the door. I could feel the stares of the other girls burning my back but I let it slide for today, I was too happy to let anything bother me. My phone vibrated in my purse notifying me someone has texted me, quick to see who it was I snatched it up and opened without looking.

Bestie 💅🏽👯👭😘:

Bitch, what did you do? You gots to pass me the tee @ lunch. Good luck chica 😘.

Me:

I'm just as lost as you are & thanks 😘.

I smiled to myself as I walked down the quiet hallways taking a deep breath as I pushed open the office doors. The school secretary Ms. Renee was at at her desktop typing quickly not looking my way at all.

"Hey Ms. Renee, what's going on?"

Her head snapped quickly in my direction a big smile gracing her features.

"Kai, great to see you, Dr. Chamberlin wants to meet with you something about the student body or something , you're not in trouble trust me"

She waved her hand and I took that as my key to go into the office voluntarily.

Dr. Chamberlin sat at her desk with her hands folded in deep conversation with a young man, they both snapped their attention to me once they heard the door open.

This nigga is fine, beyond words his chocolate brown skin made his deep brown eyes stand out, his facial hair made him look older than usual and his sideburns connected to his brush cut. The pair of Nike Cocaines matched his white tee under his True Religion denim jacket and his jeans pants to match. I soaked in every detail, not realizing he was doing the same. Dr. Chamberlin cleared her throat and we both turned our attention her way.

"Ma'Kai, thank you for joining us please take a seat."

I sat in the plush leather seats, careful not to slouch making my posture as perfect as ever, I crossed my legs at the knee making one leg slip out of the split in my maxi skirt.

"Ms. Hastings, I called you in here because Mr. Jackson over here is a new student here at Beverly. He's informed me that he already has some acquaintances here that attends this school and he insists that he doesn't need a fine young lady like you, one of my top students might I add to show him the ropes and get him fully acquainted but I insist you take him under your wing just for the week, help him get associated and help him if he needs it. Now the two of you can go and Mr. Jackson, Ms. Hastings here doesn't need any trouble this year you hear me boy?. Have a great day."

I stood up at the same time as Mr. Jackson and he opened the door for me, like a true gentleman score 1. We said our goodbyes to Ms. Renee and stepped into the empty hallway.

"I don't think we got a proper introduction, I'm Omere Jackson my friends call me O."

I took his extended hand and smiled.

"I'm Ma'Kai Hastings, my friends call me Kai"

I adjusted my bag and my books and looked down the corridor.
