Chapter 2

Langstons pov

We were currently in Wendy's being loud as usual, when Teyana walked.

"Yo, thats the girl that i gave a tour of the school to." I say to my friends that are sitting around the table with me.

"For real. What's she like?" Michael asks.
" Man, I don't know. It was only a tour. Not really the ideal occasion to get to know someone. Anyways, let me go say."

Teyana's pov:

  Im standing to the side of the line waiting for my order to be ready, when someone puts their hands over my eyes.

"Guess who?" Whoever's covering my eyes, says

"Langston?"

" Yeah, it's me. How are you?" Langston says, revealing himself.

"I'm good. Just getting lunch."

" Well, if you got time, you wanna sit with me and my friends?" He asks, trying to get me to spend more time here than I intended.

"Sure."

I walk with Langston. He pushes me forward, on the small of my back. He must've noticed that I was a little nervous.

He introduced me to everyone, once we reached the table.

I was getting pretty comfortable with them already, but there was still the occasional flirt thrown here and there.

"So, where are you from, girl?" One boy, whose name is Cairo, asked.

"Maryland", I responded.

"For real? So, you're a DMV girl." Julian says.

"Sure. The DMV isn't anything special."

"I heard yall parties are lit, though."

"I guess. I never really went to the parties." I confessed. It was getting kind of awkward, so Langston decided to change the subject.

" I could sorta tell you weren't from here though. Like, the way you talk is definitely different. And you dress pretty covered up to be in California."

" I guess I do sound a tiny bit different, but not much. Anyways, I'm always at least 10 degrees colder than everyone else. I don't know why."

"Let me warm you up then." Langston says, opening his arms to try to give me a hug.

"No boy, you tried it. Alright, imma go, nice to meet y'all."

"Aight. See you at school. " Langston says.

"Bye. "

I walk out of taco bell, feeling much better about going to school on monday. At least i have some guy friends now.

Sunday morning

I shower and put on a yellow sun dress with my favorite yellow wedges, and wait for my mom to get ready. About half an hour later, she comes down in a Blue blouse, black dress pants, and blue toms.

I take my phone off the charger and head out.We took my moms benz today. On the way to church, i see langston with the boys dancing and rapping, at the park. I say hey and they all say it back.

"who are they?" My mom asks, being nosey. Like always.

"Just some people I met at Taco Bell and the tour." I state, not really sure why she wants to know.

"They all go to your school?" She asks, once again being nosey.

"Yeah, why?"

"They look like trouble. If i hear you getting in trouble, im taking your car, phone, and laptop. "
