Ooh, baby baby
Aw, yeah
Clap your hands y'all
Check it, dig it while I rip it
Check it while I wreck it
(Gih' it to 'em, La')
Ok, gimme' a few seconds
First I give a shout to every Jersery born and bread head
And everybody in New York from to brunettes to red heads
Who got my back? (Jersey gotcha' back)
Yo' tell me who's got my back? (The Bronx gotcha' back)
Yo' tell me who's got my back?(Brooklyn gotcha' back)
Y-y-y-y-yo, who's got my back?(Uptown gotcha' back)

It's late at night on a saturday and i'm in the most euphoric mode i've ever been in. Queen Latifah is bumpin on my vinyl in my room and it is just hittin right.

Always flip the scipt back to the old, days
I used to rock it on the high school, stage
I used to drink 40s back then I didn't blaze
Twitched to the pipe with the peace these days
Just go on to let you know I flow on
I'm wicked out my gluteus, so ho' on and ho' on (Ho-ohh)

It's been a whole two weeks since that day of panicking about Theo. but that dont matter right now. I just got off the phone with Jemma and she reminded me of the vinyl she made for me before I left. Ok well she didn't make it but her mom makes custom vinyls for people and Jemma asked for one of my favorite songs before I came to her. It's nice having friends like that. Especially ones that care about your music taste of course.
It's been a chill two weeks as well. I got to walk through parliament with Simon and also went to Scotland with Estel and Liam. and then went to the beach in with August. As much as I love it here. I kind of miss home. My old friends and my mom especially. At Least she's happy with her life as well right now. And then there's ya know.

Boys.

Theo is sweet. He still does the hall stuff. And looks at me in history. I still don't even know why I am in a United States history class when i've gone over this same stuff in seventh grade. Oh well. But Theo... he's just... cool. Ok ew forget I said that. He's a chill guy. Sure he's pretty cute but then again I don't care about looks. But he is smart and charming when I see him, so theres that. Speaking of Theo. Does he have an instagram?

Ok. the vibe is over now im wondering.

STRATEGY OF FINDING A CRUSH ON INSTA.
1.Look at a school page if possible
2.If you can't find anything there then try to find people they hang out with on that.
3.If found, look through there instagram followings and try to find the person
4.If not found then search up his name on instagram and try to find any people you know that follow them.
5.If found... follow.

After doing all of that (for an hour by the way)... Nothing. Looked for a school page. Nope, only an American thing. Looked at Pipers insta... nothing. She really had the audacity to say everyone is friends with everyone. I even found his other friend to hang out with. What's their name again... oh right Hazel. There is a nice person. Also hazel and piper dated so there's that. That's not the point though. Hazel didn't have anything but I did find Jacob aka Theo's best friend. And... nothing. So after all of that I just give up.
I put my phone down on the side of my bed and go back over to the vinyl record. Which has changed like ten songs since I started this. Which is on "Flava in ya ear" by creig mac. Best free rap ive heard by the way and no one can change my mind. As I switch to the second side of the vinyl. It goes into one of my life I made. Nothing too much, just a pretty simple 30 second intro. It's cute as I head back to my bed. And... as I lay down and look up as the lofi ends... I get a text...
