Short. A good 5'3. Yellow I'm talking Keyshia Cole yellow. Long thick jet black curls wildly on her round face. Small nose. Bow shaped lips. Dark brown eyes with thick eye lashes and a raspy flat voice that I loved. It was love at first sight for Icelynn. She was different but in a good way. Different from the girls in Harlem. Different from the girls right here in Georgia. Awkward even.
"Judah!" My big brother said from behind me. "Meet me right here at the end of the day." I nodded my head trying to keep up with Icelynn.
"Slow down girl." I said grabbing her book bag as she stopped walking immediately. Looking over at me. "Damn I'm tall but I'm slow you move fast because you little." I said opening a pop tart as her eyes went from the pop tart to my face. "Want some?"
"I don't eat anything that's not toasted." She said in that voice as I smiled.
"Shit where the toaster at I'll toast this ma'fucka for you." I said looking around as she shook her head.
"They don't have one. Can we go to my locker?" She asked as I nodded my head.
"Come on. Lead the way but not too fast." I said as she nodded walking at a normal speed. "So wassup with you?" I asked as she shrugged.
"Different." Was all she said. I could feel someone behind us.
"Yea. But like in a good way." I said as she stopped looking up at me. It was like a light bulb went off.
"Why?" She asked as I glanced back seeing our siblings following behind us I grabbed her hand pulling her along.
"Why what?" I asked as she let me hold her hand I didn't want to let go. She didn't make me either.
"Why in a good way? My sister Dream says that a lot when she think I can't hear her. Whenever anyone want to know why I am the way I am. She says I'm different but in a good way and you just said it too. Why?" I bit into my lip nah it was ironic as fuck that we said the same thing.
"I can't explain it Icelynn I can just feel it." I said as she slipped her hand out of mine.
"Yea." She said turning the corner towards the blue lockers.
Hers was the first one on the corner. She pulled the lock four times before putting her code in before locking it back and doing it over again the fourth time she opened it.
"Four your lucky number?" I asked as she looked over at me as she put her things away.
"Something like that. Why did your family move here? It's small and boring. Nobody moves here." She said voice voided of emotions. I smirked.
"My dad bought some land here. So maybe it won't be boring for long." I said as she scrunched her face up.
"What him buying land has to do with it being boring. He's going to build a museum?" She asked as I laughed.
"You like museums Icelynn?" I asked as she smirked my first time seeing her give anything close to a smile.
"I've never been to one." She said closing her locker four times before I took the lock and put it on for her. Was not waiting for her to do it four times. She looked from her locker to me before walking off fast as fuck again.
"Slow it down Speedy Gonzales." I said as Dream looked over at me laughing.
"She will get low on you if you don't tell her slow down." She said as I smirked. Icelynn stood watching us as my brothers came by me.
"Come on young bull we got to go to the guidance counselor to get our schedule." My oldest brother Prime said looking over at Dream who was already looking at him. She had her fingers interlocked with Icelynn. I wanted to ask why but was kinda figuring it out myself.
"Can I walk Icelynn to class first?" I asked my big brother with pleading eyes.
"Her sister got her." Zeus, next to the oldest said. Bruh such a hater.
"Mind ya own Zeus." I grunted looking at
Prime.
"I got her but tomorrow she all yours." Dream said as Ice looked at us curiously.
"I can walk myself to class." She said taking her hand out of her sisters before walking off fast this time because she wanted to get away from us.
"Can we not make it a habit of arguing over who going to walk Ice anywhere. Shits awkward." She said as her home girl nodded her head.
"I just want to get to know her. Y'all stopped us we were good." I said getting hot. I was mad.
"Chill out Ju." Prime said dropping his arm over my shoulder. "Tomorrow you can do your thing. Today we got to go handle that business." He said before looking over at Dream. "I'm check you later ma." He said as she blushed before nodding her head. Dream was definitely prime type if he'd ever ran across her.
"I'm going to wait for her at her locker after this class." I said as he nodded his head.
"Cool." He said pulling me towards the front of the school. We had came here yesterday to check it out but the guidance counselor wasn't in.
"Prime." We heard Dream call out. "Meet me here after class?" She asked round hazel eyes behind dark lashes. He smirked nodding his head.
"Yea ma. I'll meet you here." He said before walking off. She stood watching with a goofy smile before her homegirl pulled her into the direction Icelynn walked off in.
"Fuck you want to talk to that weird ass girl for?" Gaza the brother right above me asked as we sat in the chairs waiting for the counselor. "She literally act like something wrong with her."
"Shut the fuck up and mind your business bitch." I growled as the lady behind the desk gasped.
"Y'all chill out." Prime said as I stared Gaza down.
"How he this upset he don't even know that girl. You seen how she acted Prime. Fuck Ju gone do with a slow bitch." I stood up ready to jaw my brother.
"Gaza watch ya fucking mouth." Zeus said standing up coming to me. "Don't be a disrespectful young nigga. That shit make you ugly. Put a stain on your character." He looked me over.
"If Ju fuck with Ice then we fuck with Ice. Period. If he want to bring her into the fold we gone accept her with open arms. Plus you fuck up what I'm trying to set in motion with Dream ima fuck you up." Prime said as the lady stood up.
"I know y'all new 'round these parts but all that foul language gone have to stay outside these school walls." She said definitely as I rolled my eyes falling back into my seat.
"Gaza Icelynn ain't slow neither she seems pretty competent to me. She just... different." Prime spoke up.
"...in a good way." I added.
