Rose Ramirez and Lorenzo Martin have known each other since 5th grade. They were each other greatest enemies for the longest time. Until last year, when their paths kept crossing. After having, all the same classes, going to the exact same therapist...
I might go to jail for murder. The victim will end up being Violet.
Right after she said, "Heyy Enzo," he turned around, and waved. Then got up and went back to his seat. Then I side-eyed the shit out of her.
I could see the emotion in his eyes when we were holding hands. Woah. That's weird to think about. We were really holding hands. I don't know why the realization just struck me. It's like it almost felt natural. Meant to be.
I look at Ananya after all this just happened. She's hella mad.
"What just happened?" she asks stupidly.
"You know damn well what just happened," I say firmly and annoyed.
I sigh then I hear this clip in the back of my mind of Juice saying "Bitches gon' do, what bitches do. Don't let it affect you." I slightly chuckle.
"What you laughing at?" Ananya asks me.
"Nothing," I lie.
"It's clearly something. What you imagining your wedding with him," she teases while moving her head in his direction
I laugh, see I wasn't but I am now. I know for a fact she's gonna wanna be one of my Bridesmaids. I wonder who my Maid Of Honers is going to be.
"See I wasn't but now I am," I say blushing.
"You gonna look so good on your wedding day," she says hyping me up.
I begin to grin big thinking of myself walking down the aisle, and Enzo looking so handsome. I will have his last name. I WILL be Rose Martin. I manifest to myself.
"Aye, wanna go to one of our houses after school?" Ananya asks.
"That was random, but definitely. Who's house though?" I ask.
"Uhhh..." she says trying to decide.
"You know what, let me just text in the group chat."
I open my phone and go to our group chat. I start to text,
Y'all anyone think we could go to one of our houses after school
Then a text appears seconds later:
Ananya: My idea btw
Me: Shut up that's not the point
Then give her a straight face as she sits across me. At this moment I begin to put my head down on my desk. Then all of a sudden I hear Ananya say in a whiny baby voice,
"Oh, Rose is sad since she can't be with her lil' crushy."
"Bro, shut up," I say, rolling my eyes. Then I put in my AirPods and played Mario and Lil Wayne's Crying Out For Me Remix.
As Lil Wayne sings his verse, my favorite part comes on and I turn my volume up. I close my eyes as he sings,
"But I put her car in park and never let her cry alone,
I listen to her heartbeat because it plays my favorite song."
Then Mario's part comes on, and he sings
"I can hear your heart, cryin' out for me,
I can hear your heart,
Cryin' out for me, yeah,
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me,
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me,
And it keeps on sayin,
Come on in, come on in, come on in and save me,
I can, baby, I can hear your heart,
Cryin' out for me,
Baby, I should've never caught no feelings,
But, baby, havin' late-night conversations on your sofa,
You tellin' me how he played you out over and over."
I feel like the lyrics are really speaking to me. A part of me does wonder if I'm delusional, but I don't care. I would like to believe with my whole soul that he wants to be with me, as much as I do.
I suddenly heard a ding coming from my phone about two minutes later from the last time I checked my phone. It's in the group chat, and Charlotte texted.
Charlotte: Yea we could probably go over to my house if we take the bus
Me: Alr coo'
Part of me wonders about her mom, and her kicking her out. I'm still not gonna ask, since it's none of my business. Then I remember it's Friday, and that it's about to be the weekend.
Me: Aye u think we could sleep over or is that pushing it too much
Charlotte: Let me ask
Ananya: Yess I'd be hella down for that
I turn my phone off, and take my airpods out of my ears and take a deep breath. Something I heard that manifestation really does work. You just have to believe it's gonna happen, whatever you're manifesting in. I'm manifesting in being with Enzo. I wrote in my journal last night, since I write down my goals manifesting it.
I have this already memorized:
I will be with Enzo, I manifest it, and speak it into existence. The only reason I have it memorized it because I've been repeating it in my head for the last few hours.
I snap back into reality when I hear the bell suddenly ring. It scares me since I was so lost in thought. I begin to pack up my laptop, and put my backpack on my shoulders as I watch everyone scram out of class.
I look at Enzo as I begin to walk out of class. We lock eyes, and he smiles. At this point, I'm officially convinced he likes me back. Or at least I hope he does, it could just be wishful thinking. I just hope it isn't, and my gut is right about this. Cause' if it was wrong I'd break.
