Sage

"Miss Wyatt, your father would like to see you" Camilla shook me lightly.

"What time is it?" I rolled over in my bed.

"6:42"

"Why would he want me so early?"

"I wasn't given a reason, Miss Wyatt. He said he wants you ready by 7:45"

I sat and watched my father eat. I had a small smile on my face.

When he noticed me staring, he chuckled. "You're not going to eat yourself?"

I grabbed my fork and knife before slicing my waffle down the middle.

"How is work?" I questioned, drizzling the flavored syrup all over my waffles.

"No one in the entire world asks me that as much as you do"

I shrugged. "I'm interested in what you do. I care"

He leaned over and kissed my forehead, getting syrup on my forehead.

"You got a little something . . . " He chuckled and gestured towards my forehead.

"You ruined my make up" I pouted.

"My Sage doesn't wear make up. She's too beautiful without it"

"Thank you, daddy"

"Our family was blessed with the good genes. We should be leaving soon if we want to be on time"

"Where are we going?"

"To Detroit City High. They start renovations today, and I thought that you'd like to see the process"

Three hours later, I was watching them destroy the gym.

I sat off to the side, sketching as usual.

My dad walked over. "We should get you to school"

I didn't think I was going.

I frowned and then stood. "Okay"

He handed me my purple backpack.

"This isn't my school backpack, daddy it's-"

I paused when I saw him grinning.

"My Sage is happy here, so she's freshly enrolled. I took you out of those classes with that boy and Laura though"

"Dad, tell me you're not joking" Excitement was written all over my face.

"You'd better get to lunch. I'll see you at dinner"

"I love you" I gave my dad a hug and a kiss on the cheek before heading off to lunch.

When I got to the cafeteria, I noticed a few people staring at me.

I made my way over to Nadia, Keisha, Ace, and Covonte.

"Guess who's back?" I sat down at the end of the table.

"Turn the fuck up! It's my nigga Basil!"

"Covonte, shut up" Nadia scolded.

"What's up, Sage?"

"Just excited to be back, honestly. My old school was terrible"

I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Bryson.

He motioned for me to stand up, and I did.

"So you back, yeah?" Bryson placed his forehead against mine, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

I swallowed hard and gulped before nodding my head.

"You ain't come find me?"

"You're a very hard person to find" I mumbled.

"Oooou. So this is your boo, Sage. Girl I see you, girlllll"

I decided not to question why she had felt the need to say girl twice.

My cheeks went red.

"I'll see you later, aight?" Bryson spoke, looking me in my eyes.

"Okay"

"Nah, bruh. You cool. Sit with us" Ace said and everyone scooted down.

"No thanks, y'all. I appreciate it though"

I frowned.

I shouldn't have expected him to sit down with us anyways.

He shook his head slightly and chuckled before sitting down beside me.

"You happy now?" Bryson asked me.

I nodded and he interlocked our hands before bringing my hand to his lips to kiss it, making me cheeks go red.

"Thanks for the embarrassment. I really appreciate it"

"Anytime, boo. You know that I got you"
