Lorenzo's Point Of Veiw:

The girls had just gone to the bathroom together, to talk about whatever. Autumn was right about that, she was zoning out more than usual.

While waiting, I ate more of my lunch. It was so bad, but I need something before I go to French class. Mr. Naujour is such a chill teacher, he lets us use our phones. Somehow still manages to make us do our work, and get A's.

I started to scroll through YouTube shorts, and then Oliver yells

"Aye!" Scaring me. Then Oliver and Calvin runs up on me. They be buggin' sometimes, but they still my boys.

"Damn Oliver, don't be runnin' up on me like that," I say. 

"Chill out. What you doing?" Cal says.

"Just waiting for the girls. They in the bathroom."

"You always hanging out with, Rose," Oliver said.

Okay, and so what? What point are they trying to make...?

"This matters, why? I still hang out with y'all during basketball games, and on the weekends sometimes" I say.

"Exactly sometimes," Cal said.

"You're in love with her aren't you?"

"Cal, we're not going down that path, you know we're just friends..." I said firmly

"Wow. Someone's in the friend zone."

I roll my eyes. They know I don't like her like that. They just mad, I spend more time with her, than them all of a sudden. I used to hang out with them everyday, 24/7 last year. I guess they just always want me to hang out with them, and not have any other friends. 

"We in the end zone, she put me in the friend zone,"

They start to sing Friend Zone, to be honest, if it wasn't for Rose I wouldn't even know Friend Zone.

"Bro, ain't nobody in the friend zone, I don't like her like that," I say in an annoyed tone.

I storm off to the bathrooms. Go in one of the stalls, take, a quick breather, then walk out of the stall.

I look myself in the mirror, as the beautiful honey eyes look back at me. While my charming dark skin hits the sun.

I turn on the sink, cup my hands with water splash my face.

I roll a paper towel, out of the dispenser. Rip it, and wipe my face and hands.

I wait outside the girl's bathroom. What's taking them so long?

I spot Charlotte walking. "Charlotte!" I call.

She turns to the right.

"Sup Enzo, what are you doing waiting outside of the girl's bathroom? Are you a creep or some?" She says in a sassy tone and suspicious tone. 

"Calm down. I'm waiting for your best friends. Can you get them? Please."

"Fine," she says, as she goes into the girl's bathroom.

I put my AirPods in, and scroll down to my RNB playlist on Apple Music. Find "Touch My Body" by Mariah Carey.

As she sings,

"Touch my body, let me wrap my thighs,

All around your waist, just a little taste,

Touch my body, know you like my curves,

C'mon and give me what I deserve and touch my body."

She makes me think what if I am in the friend zone?
