Chapter 17
- Lamya Gillard
Los Angeles, CA
We left for our school field trip out of state to celebrate us juniors finishing our SAT.
They flew us out to California for a week to tour some colleges of our choice, supervised of course ( and not for free🙄)
I grouped up with my friends so we could find our rooms and unpack for the rest of the week, we got on the elevator to head to our rooms on the 5th floor of the hotel. We got on the elevator and Riley pressed the button.
"What do you guys think the rooms will look like? Like cheap ass motels or 5 star celebrity rooms" He asked
"Well it definitely better not be no damn cheap motel if we all paid like 800$ to fucking get here" Reneé mumbled
I turn around to face them agreeing with her "Mhm cus you know I was hearing a bunch of shit from my dad about the price"
We all laugh having all had the same situations with our parents. We finally make it to floor five when we realize the elevator stopped. My back is facing the door when I walk out the elevator backwards as I keep talking to them.
"I don't understand why it had to be such a big fuss with him all the damn-" I'm cut off when my back hits something hard. I turn around to apologize "Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there" I say before looking up. Then when I look up all my sympathy leaves when I see Jamari smirking down at me.
"It's alright love" he smirks. I groan
"Why are you on this floor, your room can't possibly be up here" I question him attitude creeping into my expression.
"I'm on this floor Ms. Wright switched my room to this floor" He says while looking me up and down.
"Well she needs to switch your ass back" I say walking away towards the room my paper says.
I yell back to my friends "I'll meet you guys in the lobby once I get my stuff together"
"Wait so what room do you have?" Mari asks wrapping a hand around my waist while we walk. Butterflies erupt from nowhere and heat blooms where his hand sits above my hip.
Ion know why I'm getting nervous I don't even like this nigga right now
"First stop touching me and my room number is none of your business you're not gonna be in it" I say my tone full of sass.
He chuckles "I just wanna know where to go when I get a random text asking me-." I spin around and slap my hand over his mouth
"Shut the fuck up damn" I say looking to see if anyone heard but his and my friends are a long ways down the opposite hall now.
"Why are we still talking about that" I say bringing my hand down and turning around to continue to my room.
"Because it happened and it was good asf but then you started ignoring me in the hallways and you moved your seats in our classes over to your friends away from me. What's to you?" He questions.
I groaned for the second time since he's been around me
"I know it was good for you too, and my reviews are always good" he said smirking
To which I return with a glare "This why you're being ignored" I said green forming in my gut where the butterflies used to be. He chuckles and I finally reach my room.
I go to unlock the door with the keycard but then he flips me around to face him. "Seriously tho what happened I thought we were good" He says furrowing his brows.
