Me and Tae have been talking for a long time. I've realised he's taken a few wrong turns, but I didn't call it out cause we had more time to talk. I like being around him. I feels like I've met my boy version of myself. We have the same humour and we feed off of each others energy. He's cool.
Today has been pretty chill. It wasn't what I expected. I thought I would be a complete outcast and possibly be bullied. But it was pretty good. I met some friends, and did well in my classes. I'm even starting to like going here, and I'm looking forward for tomorrow. Especially because of Dante. I'm still in shock of the position I have right now.
"So, do you have any advice for surviving in this school?" I asked him. I thought asking for advice would be good, I want to know what he will say.
"Hmm.. not really. This school is chill. Andd, a girl like you would most def ease through this school easily". He responds.
"A girl like me? What do you mean by that?" I question.
" I mean.. your friendly, easy to get along with, funny, good sense of style and.." he says, stopping his sentence.
"And...?"
"And, you're beautiful" he finishes off, looking right at me. I didn't want to look at him as I'm blushing really hard. He realised I wasn't looking at him and he slightly lifted my head up.
"Hey, people are going to love you. Talking to you, I can already see you have a good personality, and you're someone people gon want to get to know". He said stopping and looking right into my eyes, then letting his hands go off my chin and smiled.
"Thank you!" I replied, smiling and blushing really hard. I can't even hide it at this point.
I look around and realise we're here.
"Crenshaw B right?" He says.
"Mhm". I reply, looking at the sign.
"It was nice meeting you!" I said.
"Me too. You already seem like someone I would like to get to know more, you're funny" he said, zipping his hoodie up.
"Can I get your number, before I forget?" He asks, pulling his phone out.
"Yeah of course, I was bout to ask the same thing". I said, pulling my phone out and putting my number on his phone.
I see a text notification from Jayah and Kayla, but I ignore it for now.
"Thank you." He says, typing and saving my name as Lani with a brown heart.
"Imma holla at you later, ight?" He states, shutting his phone off.
