Taylor

Monday, 9:15 am

Taylor got to class early today, which would be a shock to her teacher, if she was there, because she normally walks in right as the bell rings.

She wanted to get in early and just be waiting for Dawaun so they could "talk". 15 minutes in and he hasn't shown up. Taylor begins to wonder where he could be. He's been late before, but never this late. Normally like 2-3 minutes.

What could he possibly be doing? Taylor thought.

After sitting up last night and thinking about what she would say to him, he's not gonna show up.

This just pissed Taylor off. Is he avoiding me?! She angrily thought.

Her phone buzzed while sitting in her lap. She looked down at it.

Sis💘: Sooooo...How's It Going👀🌚?

OvaHalf😩💘: Its not😒

Sis💘: Wym👀?

OvaHalf😩💘: The Nigga Not Here😴

Sis💘: Aww. Damn.

OvaHalf😩💘: He tryin Avoid Me😤.

Sis💘: Girl Shutup. You Know Where He Stay. Just Pop Out😊

OvaHalf😩💘: Onnat Creep Shit👀?

Sis💘: Yuppppppp😉

Taylor read the message and chuckled to herself. Jayla had problems.

She thought about it though. What if she did just show up? She would seem extra creepy. Thats pretty weird.

"Can I go to the bathroom?" She asked the sub.

"Sure. Need a pass?" The young guy asked. He looked like 25. He was cute too. Why he a substitute teacher? Taylor thought to herself.

"Uhhhh, no. I'm good." She told him, and walked out the classroom.

Taylor walked down the hallway toward the bathroom. Once she got to it, she walked straight passed it to the stairs. Once she got down those she walked towards the front door. Luckily there was no security or administration on the first floor, almost ever. She stepped straight out the front door and into the parking lot. Quickly she moved to her car, unlocked it and slid into the drivers seat. She put the key in the ignition and started it up. Pulling out of the schools parking lot Taylor starts to think about what she's doing.

Wow, I'm officially crazy. OhMyGod I'm crazy as hell. Just goin' to people's house. Jesus Christ. Crazy as hell. Taylor thinks while driving down the street.

Luckily traffic appeared to be on her side. She only got stopped at one light and it was a really short one.

She made the 15 minute drive to Dawaun's in 10.

She pulled into his complex's parking lot and looked toward his spot for his car. It was there. That would've been a shame, doing all that just for him not to be there.

She parked her car, got out, walked to the door and put in the pin code. She stepped through the door frame and walked to the elevator. She pressed the up button and the elevator opened immediately. She stepped on and pressed 4 to go to the top floor.
