"shut up dude! keep your voice down!!" iman whisper yells as shayan shifts inside the small stall. he accidentally elbows iman in the gut. just as someone walks into the mens bathroom, iman screams "AHH SHAYAN!!!" someone from outside the stall gasps in horror and runs out. "DUDE! PEOPLE ARE GONNA THINK WE'rE GAY NOW!" shayan screams at iman. they exit the bathroom together, with the whole school watching their every move. fifth period rolls around like a bouncy ball, and the rumors have started. 3114 walks over to iman in passing period. "listen.. if your.. yknow... gay..." she says, looking down at her feet. "WHAT?!? WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT??" iman yells. "i... theres a rumor going around that.. you were in the same bathroom stall as shayan?" she whispers. "WHAT?! NO! i mean we were but.. not... like that" "but theres a video of you.. screaming his na-" "STOP RIGHT THERE. IM NOT DATING SHAYAN." ellas eyes start to get watery again. just like that she runs into the nearest empty classroom and corners herself to cry. iman runs after her, regretful of his terrible inexusable actions. he'd need to learn how to control himself and his anger. especially around his lady. or his soon to be lady. he walks into the classroom
carefully and looks around for 3114. he finds her squatting into a corner, crying hysterically. "im- im sorry! i didnt mean to! sometimes my temper just gets the best of me!!!" she looks up at him "just dont do it again.." she says. after a long period of silence the beaut speaks up "did you watch my musicallys?" she says, looking hopeful. iman hesitates. should he lie to impress her???!! or should he tell the truth...???? he quickly makes the decision of a lifetime. "yes..." he lies. "they were amazing!" he forces himself to smile. the things he does for his lady.. smfh. "which one is your fav????" she questions with joyfulness. she begins to do musically hand movements out of excitement. "all of them." he swiftly lies. he needs backup to help him with this.. "nicdawg..." iman hopelessly calls out to his best friend in his mind. she comes surfing in, and by surfing in i literally mean with waves and all. "what do you need dude??!!" nicdawg obnoxiously questions iman. "she thinks i watched her musicallys.." iman whisper yells at nicdawg and makes a head movement towards the mid-musically ella. "well.. your in a bit of a sticky situation amirite ladies???" nicdawg says. shes interrupted as the bell rings, signaling 6th period. "lets go thrella!" iman says and holds her hand. he wonders what he should wear tonight. his usual attire, gray everything with his aztec socks??? or should he go classy, a suit and all. i mean.. all theyre doing is going to the commons, but he wants to look like a well-fitted man. he decides to borrow one of allen's suits and as he parts ways with ella. "wait! heres my number!!" iman says bravely. "thanks!" she blushes. "dont forget about tonight!!!!" he flirtatiously winks. she runs off as the whole school vibrates. he cant believe it. tonight is the night. 6th period goes by fast, considering all he was thinking about was their date. he rushes home, telling wendy about everything. she combs his hair, gives him allens suit, and even plucks his eyebrows for him. hes ready. he glances in the mirror and feels like a true MAN. he feels powerful! like he can conquer anything. and by anything he means thrella. he makes his way outside as wendizzle drives him. they play a bit if jepordy, but hell, does that matter! all that matters is the musically star. they arrive at the commons. he waits about two hours, but thats fine by him! it doesnt even bother him that right in front of them, people from school are have riots with posters saying "iman and shayan are gay!" HELL, it doesnt even FAZE him. he tries to scout out thrella, and he finally sees her. shes wearing a beautiful yellow dress with sparkles from justice, and vibrant green crocs from payless. perfect! iman thinks. she went with the classy look too. he takes her by the arm and they enter johnny rockets, ellas favorite. they have solid conversation, mostly about threllas hopes and dreams for her musically account. iman pays, and they leave. "so," she asks, "what to next???" "vaping behind the commons, is whats next!" he says with swag and walks with absolute confidence to the roof of the library. ella is FEARLESS. she jumps on top of the ladder without a scratch, and climbs. amazing.. he likes a girl that isnt afraid of anything! they make their way to the top with a little bit of struggle from iman, but they made it. theres hundreds of people up there. iman is astonished. he tries to see if ryan is there, he doesnt want another run in with him. just as they begin to enter the crowd, thrella freezes. "what is it, sugarplum??" iman asks with worry. "its him." she says without any emotion. he follows her eyes to "him", and sees a lanky guy about a year or two older than us watching ellas every move. he inches closer, and says one sentence and one sentence only. "long time no see, ella."
