Ariya
We sat in the trunk silently, I felt his stare from a mile away. I didn't want him or anyone else knowing that I'm high. The wind blew as Brandon drove.
I don't know what to really say to him. Oh hi! I'm high on drugs so that's why I'm quiet. Hell no, I'm most definitely going to stay quiet.
"So....Your Ariya, right?" Egypt asked snapping me out of my thoughts
"Yeah" I answered
The truck stopped to a red light. Why the light had to turn red? Egypt move over towards me.
I avoided his stare by looking out. I had my elbow on the tip of the trunk while resting my cheeks on my hands.
He tilted his head to see my eyes. "You don't talk much, huh?" Egypt asked, while doing the same thing I'm doing.
I just nodded. I don't really want to talk. If I did then he'll question if I'm high or not.
He chuckled then he was telling me something about him playing basketball for the school and other stuff I could barely hear. I guess he wanted me to feel comfortable.
All I can do is "mhm" and "cool". I wasn't trying to be rude or anything but I'm just out of it. I hope he don't think I'm a rude person

5 minutes later
We're at the back of the school parking lot. Alyssa got out of the truck arguing with Brandon. Egypt got down from the trunk first.
Then there's me.. everything is fuzzy so it was impossible for me to walk straight without tripping or falling.
Come on, Ariya, don't make a fool of yourself in front of this dude.
I got down on my knees and started crawling, then I turned around and crawled backwards to the edge of the trunk. The truck is so fucking big that my feet are dangling off the edge.
I tried to push my body to the ground but I almost slipped off until I felt hands on my waist.
I turned to see those pretty eyes of his staring at me with concern. My heart jumped at his touch.
His gripped on my waist is tight but not too tight.
Why is this happening to me?
We stared into each others eyes for a while. I never knew anyone like him can have blue eyes especially pretty ones.
It's impressive.
He clear his throat putting me down. "Are you ok?" Egypt asked.
I stood there not saying a word. I'm scared to say anything, I don't want to seem like I'm slow or weird.
He smiled shyly, showing his dimples on both of his cheeks. Even his smile is gorgeous. His teeth is also whiter than snow itself. This dude could be a model if he wanted to.
Everything is getting weirder and weirder.
Brandon and Alyssa were still arguing about some shit that I don't remember because I was too busy looking at Egypt.
Egypt and I walked over there.
"This arguing shit yall keep having is getting old" Egypt complained.
So this is not the first time they argue, I see.
"Boy, shut up, He always gotta bring up shit!" Alyssa fumed.
"Nah, you always start shit with me. You get mad when I be telling the fucking truth. If you want a quickie, just say that, baby girl, I'm a fuck everywhere type of nigga anyways" Brandon joked.
"This is what the fuck I be talking about! You take shit as a joke!"
"Yall always be arguing?" I asked, curiosity.
"Yes" Brandon and Alyssa both said at the same time.
Well damn. I backed up with my hands up . Egypt rolled his eyes laughing, his arm draped around my shoulders.
My stomach did that thing, I haven't had that since i first got together with Trayvon. I can smell the cologne on him. He smells good too.
I scanned his outfit, He had on a blue shirt, his black jogging pants hang down while showing half of his drawls, he had on some Nike Slides with some black socks. There's a golden cross necklace shining on his broad neck.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it" Egypt whispered in my ear. I only shook my head.
Alyssa grabbed my hand pulling me away from Egypt.
"Come on," Alyssa grumbled. I didn't say anything and just let her pull me away from Egypt and them. We walked away from them.
I can hear Egypt's footsteps. "Hold on, wait for me" Egypt yelled running towards us. He finally caught up to us.
"Damn, yall just going to leave a nigga like that?" Egypt asked out of breath.
"Your asshole friend was keeping you company" Alyssa said irritated.
Egypt held the door for me and Alyssa, we all went back inside the hellhole.
"Just because your mad at Brandon, don't mean you can take it out on me" Egypt complained.
"That's your friend"
"Your mines too" Egypt clapped back.
Alyssa started complaining about how Brandon always annoys her and she hates the slick ass comments he be making. I just shook my head.
I wasn't paying attention just looking around the barely full hallways.
I can't believe that I'm actually hanging out with Alyssa and her friends. I never thought in a million years that I would be in the same space as her.
What the hell the universe is playing at? Alyssa Hillson, one of the most prettiest girls wants to hang out with me. Me! I wanted to know what type of game she playing at.
We stood near her locker, she was getting something out. I was in my own world until the bell rang. Everyone was getting out of the cafeteria to go to their classes.
I casually looked around then everything in me froze. My face drained in disbelief.
I felt my heart aching and my throat had a lump. My vision was getting blurry.
I was ready to throw up and cry, right then and there. No! No! This can't be! It can't! He can't just do this to me! The site of Trayvon.....
