I woke up realizing that I was late for school. Another day, another moment of hell. I woke up and got dressed against my better judgment.

     I grabbed my book-bag and walked outside. I got in my car and started it up and drove to school. I already knew as soon as I got there my history teacher was gonna have something to say to me. I started listening to Let 'em Know by Bryson Tiller

I'm so different
Nothin' like them other niggas
Nothin' like them other niggas
Nothin' like them other niggas, shawty
You so different
Nothin' like them other bitches
Nothin' like them other bitches
Nothin' like them other bitches
True

      I parked my car and grabbed my book bag and rushed into the school building. I walked into the school walking fast almost running down the hall. I tried to make sure I had my school identification card and I ended up running into someone at full speed. I fell backwards and I was already getting aggravated. I looked up and saw a tall white figure standing over me. "Hey I'm so sorry about that" his deep voice said looking down at me. He held his hand out to help me up and I respectfully accepted it. "I've been walking around this school for about five minutes trying to find the history class." He said with an annoyed expression on his face looking at his schedule. "Mr. Howtz?" I asked him. His blue eyes looked at me and nodded. "Yeah I think that's how you say his name. Shit, it's something like that" he said sucking his teeth. "I'm headed there now, if you want to you can come with me" I said trying to be as nice as possible. Once again he looked at me with those ocean blue eyes and I immediately looked away and kept walking.

          I heard his footsteps follow closely behind and when we made it to the door he put his hand on my shoulder and looked down at me "Thanks again ma" he said. I walked into the classroom and Mr.Howtz stopped what he was doing and looked directly in our direction. "You're late Angel." He said frowning his face up as always. "Well technically she wasn't late, she was in the office helping me with my classes" the boy said standing beside me. Mr.Howtz looked at me and he continued working on whatever he was working on. I walked to my seat in the back of the classroom right behind my friend, Ty. Ty was short for Tyleasha but she hated when people called her that. "Is this seat taken?" the boy said and I looked to my right seeing the open seat. I shook my head no and he sat down.

          Ty turned around and looked back and forth between me and the boy. "So who's the little white chocolate?" She asked me smirking. "I'm Caden" he said smiling a bit showing his bright and perfect white teeth. He came from a preppy private school which I was completely confused on why someone would move from the suburbs to the hood but I wasn't about to ask. He also told us that it was just him and his mom. I kind of felt him knowing that it was just me and my dad. But my dad was never home and when he was....well I didn't want to think about that.

        Before we knew it, first period was over and Ty and I said our farewells knowing we didn't have our next class together, but Caden and I did. As a matter of a fact, we had every class together. We walked into science and I sighed walking in the classroom. Science was one of the subjects I hated the most but I somehow managed to do very well in this class. I took my seat and Caden sat beside me. I felt him glancing at me but I just kept my eyes toward the front of the class.

         Caden was a cute, tall muscular boy but I wasn't about to just let him trick me with his charms and shut. Before my mom passed she always told me niggas ain't shit and she stood by that. Even though she was with my sorry ass dad. I took out my notebook and started writing down notes. I was completely focused and then I heard a group of gossip bitches gossiping as always.

"Do y'all see who the new boy is sitting with?"

"There's no way he's with her instead of being with me!"

"How do y'all think her ex would react to this"

"Girllll he would kill her"

       I heard them laugh and I just sighed. My ex, Tyrek, was very toxic. We've been broken up for almost a year and he still won't leave me alone. If he sees some with another guy he flips out and causes a whole scene.

         It was starting to get another so I just started avoiding him but somehow he managed to still text me from random numbers, call me and show up at me job. "You okay? You look lost in your thoughts ma" Caden said looking at me. "Yeah I'm okay just got a few things on my mind" I said looking up at the board, continuing to write my notes. "I heard those girls talking, ignore them okay?" He said in a soothing tone. Hearing him say that kind of calmed me down a little bit. I didn't respond but I kept on taking my notes.

      The bell rang and it was now time for study period. I packed my stuff and walked out the classroom. I turned around to realize Caden wasn't behind me. Im not about to play hide and seek with this damn boy, I thought. I saw him leaning against the wall talking to a group of girls. Some of them touching on his arm and some of them just staring at him in awe. He looked over and saw me and smile at me.  He came running to me and looked down at me. "Hey ma you ready for our study session?" He said still smiling at me. I shrugged and turned around and kept walking. I don't know why, but seeing him with those other girls just bothered me a bit. I know he wasn't mine. Hell, we weren't even friends yet but it was just something about him. It drew me more to him every second.
