It's the first day of the second semester and I'm walking to my first period with Orion by my side. I step inside saying goodbye to Orion has he goes to his own class. I scan the room and stop suddenly, the most beautiful girl sitting right in front of me. she has her hair up in a low bun and has beautiful olive skin. I need to know who she is, and fast. I race to my table and sit down glancing at the girl constantly. I wait until Mr.Macleod finishes his instructions and walk towards her, thinking about what i'm going to say when i get there. I recognize Fisher sitting near her and sit in the open seat next to him.
"Is this seat taken?" I ask avoiding eye contact with the girl sitting right across.
"Nah you can sit in it if you want I guess." Preston responds ...typical.

i sit down in between the girl and Fisher thinking about how i can get to know her better.
"What's your name, i haven't seen you around" i ask, trying to seem friendly and not stalkerish.
"i'm tyra..?"she says, sounding uninterested.
damn it..maybe i was too creepy.

class continues and i work on my vacation project silently while everyone around me is chatting and giggling quietly. i wonder if i came on too strong. i need to make sure i didn't mess this up.

"soooo, where did you guys choose for your vacation areas?" i say, not directing the words towards tyra, hoping to just be able to start a conversation.
"i chose to go to europe for like 3 weeks, currently looking up hotels and food" fisher responds quickly, clearly excited about his imaginary vacation (fisher had a lil too fun in europe i think he forgot about me💀✊🏽)
"i'm chose to go to california i go like..all the time" preston answers after fisher finishes speaking.
"i chose hawaii hehe" says kate.

i wait for tyra to respond but she doesn't seem to be interested into talking. maybe she's shy?
"and you tyra?"
"oh uh i don't know yet."
oh.
word.
i swear to god i heard her whisper, "that's not LOL" but like what does that even mean.
i check the time and it's 10:02, two more minutes until first period ends, but i don't want it to. i take a glance at tyra one more time, absorbing in the sight, i want to remember her.

i pick up my stuff and walk to the door waiting for the 10:03 to turn to 10:04. as the one minute passes i open the door and orion is sitting outside waiting. oh shit. i forgot about orion. no worries...all those thoughts in the classroom stays in that class, and it's not like i even did anything wrong. just trying to make a new friend, right?

he looks me up and down and asks, "are you doing alright? you're looking a little pale"
do i look pale?
"oh yeah, im great we just had to work on the vacation project and im somewhat behind."
"if you'd like me to help i can you know. im here for you baby girl (🎶treat me like white tees🎶)" (yes, he did just call you baby girl)
"thanks, i appreciate it." i smile and walk in for a hug as he plants a kiss on my head. i don't know how i could've ever had different thoughts, he's perfect. (girl he's not perfect hes goofy loofy)
