Jh'riah's POV
I remember the day I met him, he pulled me into his big strong arms like he knew me my whole life. I looked at him but he had his face covered with his hoodie, I tried to take it off but out of nowhere everyone was swarming me with phones everyone was staring at me. I didn't know what to do so I did what came off the top of my head.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!" I screamed, I opened my eyes and realized I was still in class and everyone heard me and looked at me like I was crazy. I looked down and covered my face. "Um... Ms. Campbell see me after class okay?" Mr. Tunble said with concern. I nodded and tried to hide my face. I looked at over at T, but he had already went back to talking to his homies, Calvin and Q. I sighed and went back to listening to the teacher and trying to wait for the class to be over so I could talk to Mr. Tunble and go home.By the time class ended I was ready to just go home because I just wasn't feeling it today. My head hurt and my mom just had my twin brother and sister, and because she just had them she's been on edge and has wanted me by her side since my dad was on a business trip. I collected all my stuff and got ready to talk to Mr. Tunble. "You wanted to see me Mr. Tunble ?" I asked already tired. "Yes I did, are you feeling okay Jh'riah? It's not like you to fall asleep in my class, or any class period." He said with concern written all over his face. "Yes I'm fine Mr. Tunble my mom just had twins so I'm really tired I'm very sorry and I promise it won't happen again." I explained trying to fake the best smile I could make. He nodded and just told me to go home since I was so tired and couldn't help with the classroom.

Once I made it home from the bus I slowly walked in just in case my mom had just put Kayla and Aaron to sleep. I walked up the stairs and stepped over the baby gate. I went into their nursery to see my mom rocking them to sleep as she sang her favorite song Luther Vandross: Dance with my father again. I smiled and walked over and kissed all their foreheads and walked out to my room to start on my geometry homework. Once I was done I realized I was hungry when I walked down the steps I saw my older brother Davontae on his phone talking to one of his 'chickies' which is what he calls his girls he just talks to. If he actually likes the girl she moves up to 'queens' which are rarely named that .I shook my head at my older brothers tactics as I opened the pantry, I just settled on some saltine crackers. I was about to sit on the couch when the doorbell rang. I got up and answered it, it was T's mom she always stops by on Mondays. She loves babies and her and my mom are best friends. "Hey JJ how are you doing?" Mrs. Marie said with a big smile walking in. "Hey Mrs. Marie I'm fine my mom is upstairs she just put the twins to sleep.
She nodded and headed upstairs to see my mom. I walked back over to the couch and sat down, Davontae was off the phone now and was sitting down looking at the tv. "Hey DaDa how has your day been?" I said smirking knowing he doesn't like that name. He smacked his teeth and just ignored me. I laughed and just turned to watch tv. "So which one of your 'chickies' was that?" I asked once the show that we were watching went off. He had a big smile on his face and I already knew he liked her more that a friend. "Day! I want to meet her maybe we can go on a double date sometime!" I said in a joking manner but when I said that his smile turned into a frown and I knew I messed up.
"J what's his name? How old is he? Do I know him? Has dad met him yet? I need to cal-" I interrupted him "D calm down I was just playing I'm still single" I giggled and I heard I sigh of relief coming from him. " I need to talk to you Jh'riah." Davontae said I started getting nervous because he never calls me by my first name unless it's serious. I looked at his face and he wasn't smiling. I got up and walked to the kitchen to throw away my trash and to get away from him but he was right behind me. I sighed and turned around knowing I couldn't get away from him. "Go ahead Davontae" knowing I was defeated. "Jh'riah you're fourteen now and you're in the eighth grade there will be a lot of boys after you because your not ugly"
I rolled my eyes as he continued "There is a group of guys at your school and they're no good. Stay away from them Jh'riah do you hear me?" He said with seriousness in his voice. I nodded and I looked down because I knew exactly who he was talking about. The only problem was I couldn't stay away from him because I liked him to much.
