Imaiah's Pov.

It's currently 8:05am and ma made sure me and A'Shyla got to school on time. Shy stayed over last night so ma felt responsible to make sure she wasn't late even if i was.

A'Shyla held my hand as we walked through the hallway, bumping into Sarai. Well damn.. I looked Sarai up and down, admiring her. She looked beautiful and i simply couldn't take my eyes off of her. She's lucky there's people around because i would've taken her right here, right now.

I cleared my throat and spoke. "Hey rai, i missed you. I haven't seen you since Wednesday.." I pouted.

She sighed and opened her arms for me. Without hesitating, i let go of my bestfriend's hand and hugged her tightly so she could feel how much i missed her.

"I missed you more mai mai." She whispered in my ear and kissed my cheek. Her lips are so soft i just wish they wasn't cheek kisses anymore..

I shook my head and let go of her and without saying a word to neither of them, i jogged to the library. I walked to my favourite beanbag at the back of the library and slouched into it.

Why does she make me feel this way? I've never felt this way before and it's terrifying but at the same time it's such a warm feeling..

I sighed and took out some work from my backpack and begun to do it.

A couple hours passed..

I looked at the time on my phone and noticed it was 10:26am. I stood up in a rush and quickly packed my things into my bag, running out of the library. I only had a few minutes to get to my class.

I ran all the way there and made it just on time.

"Imaiah, glad you made it on time. Please take a seat at the back next to Sarai." Mr Roberts said to me with an agitated tone.

I just did as i was told and sat in my seat. I took the essentials i needed for this class out of my backpack and placed my water bottle on my desk.

"Hey pretty girl." Sarai said with a smile whilst placing her hand on my inner thigh.

"Hey Rai." I replied, nervously. Her hand placement was making me extremely nervous and i swear i could feel myself blushing.. I just hope it's not visible.

I didn't say anything else to her and immediately started to do my work. To my surprise, i finished all of it early so i just got to chill until class was over. I looked over at Sarai who was already staring at me. I felt myself getting nervous and i started to fidget with my bracelets.

She chuckled and still kept her free hand on my inner thigh. Yea, she didn't move it the whole time i was working- i didn't mind though. I watched as she finished off her work and then put her pen down.

"You have my full attention now mai mai." She said excitedly which made me laugh at her, she's cute.

"Did you hear about Zay's party? A'Shyla asked me to come with her but i want you to come too.. Ion really like parties, i prefer to stay home but A'Shyla begged me." I said whilst hoping she would agree to come with.

"Okay, i'll come. BUT- only if i get to stay over tonight, I miss you." She stated and i simply nodded.

At Lunch..

I waited for Sarai to come back to the library, she said she had to use the restroom.. we already ate so we decided to go to the library cause it was quiet.

I looked up and saw her making her way over to me and then she slouched into the beanbag next to me.

"I'm just gonna be straightforward because i don't wanna beat around the bush.." She said before taking a deep breath. I waited for her to continue.. "I like you. In fact, i like you a lot.. i love the way you stick to yourself and i love the fact that you have an interest in painting and you're such a peaceful person.. I'm so attracted to you and your mindset."

I stared at her and instantly blurted out, "You what??" she didn't even say anything. She just cupped my face in her soft hands and before i knew it, her soft lips were on mine.

End Of Chapter.. 💋

What's gonna happen now that Sarai expressed how she feels about Imaiah..?
