Green Eyes

Chapter 1

"Y'all don't get it...that man was...he was so fine" Precious sighed out as it had a light giddy chuckle at the end. The three girls were at their college's canteen eating the somewhat okay food being served. It had been a week, a week since Precious saw that man and for some reason she could not get him out of his head. Lola looked at Saira as the bob-haired girl looked back with a grin plastered across her face.

"Miss Precious, what happened to you not liking no hood nigga huh?" she said as she slowly inserted the yoghurt filled spoon in her mouth looking at her darker skinned friend. "Oh...don't even start" Precious responded.

"Nah, cause I saw that man the whole party selling drugs...Is this the man you want in your life Precious?" Lola said as she took a scolding tone. "No, I love my life way too damn much to hurt myself that way"

"Hm" is all that was earned from the two girls. A silence posed itself at the table as the girls "Well, whatever, it sounds like you're pretty attracted to that man. You sure you can resist him if you meet him again, friend?" Lola taking a slightly chuckle as she said this.

Precious just groaned as she finished her sandwich as she sighed, when it came to a man she did not have a specific type. But she knew what she did not like, that was any kind of criminal, a nonchalant man and a shrimp. Now she was finding herself to be attracted to a man that was clearly a drug seller if not possibly worse and usually she could find anyone attractive but it would take a span of 24h for her to forget about that person, but he had been on her mind for a good week now and showed no sign of getting out of her mind. She sighed yet again as she grabbed her bottle of apple juice and opened it, contemplating what the fuck was wrong with her at the moment.

At that same moment, Lola stood up letting out a small groan as she walked toward the bin to throw away her trash. She was moving through the crowded place going side to side as people seem to not care enough to move out the way ever so slightly, she finally made it to the bin she threw her trash and did not waste a second to turn around but directly bumped into a tall figure. 

"Oh, I'm so sorry I should have looked before going" she said as she started raising her face to look at the person, who was obviously a man. A handsome man. He was wearing a typical jeans, hoodie and beanie combo which she was such a sucker for. A slight smirk with his mouth slightly open as it let view to his wired up teeth, which made him cute. He looked down at her due to her smaller height "Nah, it's okay. It's mad crowded around here anyways." he reassured her before giving her a flyer. "We got an outside cinema event going on Friday at 8pm, would be lovely if you could come." he added showing one large smile as she just nodded and uttered a "I'll think about it" before she went back to her friends clinging her fingers to the flyer as his eyes were stuck on her overall figure as she walked back to her friends.

Her two friends hadn't noticed the interaction at all as they were too busy eating and making idle chat, but one thing they could feel is Lola's sudden change in mood. The both of them shrugged it of and assumed it was the usual root, aka Chris. After they had finished eating they each parted ways, as Precious was making her way to her parent's house because she needed to get some document and told herself she would pass by her old high school to pick up her brother and Saira's siblings. Lola went to her criminal law seminar, which she loved and Saira to her psychology lecture which she foresighted to be about to contain a theory that would torture her mentally for another week.

-Precious' side-

Precious was driving her Kia Rio slowly, scanning the parking lot for a space. Eventually, she found one squeezed between two cars; her vehicle was smaller, so it fit perfectly. As she unfastened her seatbelt, her gaze fixed on three figures ahead—two she recognized. One was her brother Zion, and the other, Saira's brother, Roehan, both 16. Her mind raced with two questions: "Who is that third person?" and "Why are they concealed between cars?" It didn't take long for her to deduce the answers as she spotted a small packet of white powder and another with pills in Zion's grasp. After Zion exchanged the substances for money and the third figure departed, Precious stepped out of her car and walked towards the two boys.
