A'zuria wakes up for school and her morning starts and it's the same as yesterday morning. She gets to school and slumps in her sit trying to put on a smile. Ms. Star starts her lecture and A'zuria can't help but feel eyes on her from across the room. She doesn't look up too scared to make eye contact with the person or it could all be in her head.
Ms. Star gives an assignment where they all read a book by the end of the month and have a socratic seminar about the book. A'zuria lowkey loved these it allowed her to express how she feels about topics, especially if it's a good book. She explains that they will be reading 'The Great Gatsby'. The whole class groans because they all have an equal hate for that book, it's suppose to be the "American dream", but nothing about it screams that that's true. They all throw their opinions out loud.
"Save it for the socratic seminar, now I expect for you all to have your books by next week, I don't want any excuses cause I have a few available and you all know you can easily Amazon a book" Ms. Star expresses to her class disregarding them complaining further.
Bria and A'zuria exchange a small conversation about their upcoming shift and how stupid it is to be reading this book.
Haehyo had no friends in this class at all, of course a few girls tried to be "nice" and talk to him but he wasn't interested cause he knew about how they were the messy and annoying girls. Haehyo thought back to what A'zuria said yesterday about her being a just dance master, he chuckled to himself. It was something about her that just drew her to him. He couldn't sleep last night because she kept replaying in his head. He had told his friends that 'A'zuria was his girl she just doesn't know it'. He just felt the need to want to get to know her, last night he came up with the genius plan to walk up to after class and ask her a question about class, which he felt like Ms. Star was rooting for him because the assignment was conversation worthy. Then he would use his smooth talking skills to ask for her number. He even thought about what to do if she said no, he planned for all outcomes. He did not want to take no for an answer but he can't force her to say yes. Haehyo was freaking out because while in his thoughts the bell was getting closer to ring and Haehyo was a little nervous.
The bell rings and as A'zuria gets up to leave the class her pencil pouch she thought was closed, spills all over the classroom floor and her pens, pencils and markers scatter the floor. Bria had been left cause her next teacher hated kids especially if they were late, so she couldn't assist A'zuria even if she wanted to.
Life was on Haehyo's side he couldn't believe it. Haehyo takes this opportunity to strike, rushes over and helps her pick up her things, almost getting his fingers crushed by the students trying to leave. After a minute they finally picked up everything. Haehyo was standing there holding A'zuria's things. She was so into stuffing her things into her pencil pouch she did not notice the figure in front of her. Haehyo clears his throat and A'zuria looks up and sees him and is taken back.
"Um, you kind of dropped these" Haehyo says still holding them.
"Thanks and you didn't have to get them up I could've got them myself, sorry for the inconvenience" A'zuria says freaking out inside and immediately grabs the supplies from the boy.
"It's okay, and you're welcome maybe you could really thank me by giving me your number" Haehyo says looking at her and admiring her soft features and the curly hair that's in a fro.
A'zuria smiles a little and nods, thinking that this is all a dream and life can't be real right now because there's no way.
"Uh, sure" she can't help but smile to herself and grabs Haehyo's phone and puts in her number and saves her name as Zuri. She hands him his phone and Haehyo looks down and smiles.
"Do you want me to walk you to your next class, my teacher doesn't care if I'm late" Haehyo says trying his best to not blush in front of her. She nods at a complete lost for words.
'OMG HES TALKING TO ME THIS IS INSANE'
They start their adventure to A'zuria next class. He walks right by her accidentally bumping into her a few times. She laughs at him.
"You've bumped into me three times now are you doing this on purpose" She can't help but chuckle at him.
He puts hands up in defense.
"No, I swear it's an accident, I just can't walk straight" He says lying straight through his teeth.
"Where's your next class?" She asks him
"You know that one teacher, Coach White, the one that literally gives no fucks, yea I take his digital media arts class but trust we don't do anything, he literally gave us one big project that's due before we graduate since he has only seniors in my class" Haehyo explains to her.
"I've heard some stories about how he is crazy, but omg are you an artsy boy?" She says
"I mean ig, I just needed another class to be honest and my art teacher saw that I only like doing digital art so she recommended the class" Haehyo says
A'zuria only nods and realizes they reached her class.
"Well this is my class I'll see you around and thanks again for helping me" She says giving him a small smile.
"Of course, i'll see you around as well Zuri, later" He returns the smile and begins his walk go class and can't help but think about her smile.
A'zuria walks into class and takes her seat and starts freaking out a little in her seat, not too big that everyone notices and scream in her head, she puts her head because she is smiling so much. She can't believe he talked to her and walked her to class, she freaks out a little longer but then remember that men ain't shit and starts working on her Facebook profile paper to finish it early. Her phone lights up and she gets a message from an unknown number.
Unknown
This Haehyo just in case you forgot, just wanted to let you know I got to class safe in case you were worried 😝
She glances at his text and playfully roll her eyes at how coy the boy is being. She doesn't respond fast so she doesn't seem desperate and continues working on her page. She times it so she responds exactly 5 minutes later.
A'zuria
That's good to know, I thought you got whisked away by a sudden storm
A'zuria lacked in the talking to guy's department, she was cringe but when she gets comfortable and knows she can be herself, she's just nervous to make a bad first impression, just because she got him, doesn't mean she can keep him it's happen so much it's a problem. So many people tell her to talk to them like a normal human being but she overthinks and thinks they are judging her and pranking her.
Haehyo seriously liked her and wanted to get to know who she was. His phone lights up and chuckles at her messages.
'She likes to be sarcastic that's funny'
Haehyo
yea you never know a gush of wind randomly take me out lol
A'zuria
you're so unserious
Haehyo chuckles and is obviously smiling at his phone. Timothy nudges him and ask why he smiling so hard. He peeks at his phone and see the girl of his best friends dreams texting him.
"No way dude" Timothy keeps nudging Haehyo
"Yes way, wanna hear how I asked for it" Haehyo says excited to tell someone
Haehyo explains the story to his friend letting him know all the details and exaggerating a few details.
"So do you want to date her?" Timothy asks
"Yes, I want to walk her to class and hold her hand and just do all the boyfriend shit with her ughh" Haehyo groans at the thought of dating her so ready to make her his.
"Oh shit, I haven't responded in 30 minutes" Haehyo says in a panic.
Haehyo
maybe but I seriously want to know you
A'zuria eyes widen this is crazy, he's so good with his words and isn't dry. He's like low key perfect and he wants to know about me. This is crazy, the hottest, coolest boy ever wants to know about me.
A'zuria
what do you want to know?
For last 30 remaining minutes, they texted and got to know each other and explained the basics about themselves, with Haehyo judging her for liking baked chips. The bell rings signaling its time to switch classes and A'zuria puts her phone in her pocket and blast some music in her headphones.
