Wildflower In A Field Of Daisies

Chapter Two.

The next morning we woke up cuddle up next to each other.
Nyla: oh shit! El wake yo ass up and get off me. She said smiling and pushing me.
Me: nigga you was on me. I said in a low monotone voice, just now waking up.
Nyla: *giggling* whatever. Come on we gotta get up cause we have orientation today and you said we could go shopping today.
Me: ugh okay damn I'm up. I said getting up and stretching.
I went to my bathroom and showered and got ready and she went to her bathroom and did the same. When I finished showering. I brushed my teeth and put my dreads into a messy ponytail. I've had dreads since high school and I got the tip of them dyed a deep red last year. I put on some black jogger shorts with a white t-shirt. I put on my black and white custom Nike roshe runs. I also put on my high school class ring, my gold ankh necklace, and I put in my gold bottom row grill. I put on my black Nike visor, grabbed my keys, phone, wallet, and glasses and a couple extra bands from my stash I had hidden in the floor of my closet. Then I walked to Nyla's room to see if she was ready.
Me: aye you ready shorty? I said knocking on the door.
Nyla: almost. You can come in though.
I walked in and she was in a black sundress and white low top converses standing in front of her bathroom mirror putting her curly, brown and blonde 3c type hair into a messy bun.
Nyla: and you know I don't like that nickname.
Me: what? Shorty? I said chuckling.
Nyla: yes dude. She said putting on red lipstick.
Me: oh well shorty. I said smiling at her.
Nyla: fuck you Shawn. She said coming out of the bathroom sticking her middle finger at me.
I always messed with her about her height. That's only because she was 5'0. She was darkskin, and thick. Even had a little tummy. And well me I'm 6'1. Darkskin and somewhere on the skinny, muscular side.
Nyla: come on its 11:45 and orientation starts at 12pm. She said grabbing her phone and purse and putting on her class ring, white nike visor and ankh necklace.
Me: you love tryna be like me huh. Which car we taking? I said following her out of her room.
Nyla: boy please. We taking yours cause you driving. She said walking out the door.
Me: I figured.
I locked the door behind me. When I got to the jeep I took the top down because it was hot and sunny. I grabbed my shades out, put them on and we headed to the institute for orientation.
..............................

When we got there we got our student I.Ds, student handbooks, manuals and class schedules. We actually need to go shopping because of the stuff we need for our classes. I'm majoring in graphic designing and she'll be majoring in fashion designing. Its actually kind of cool. After the last part of orientation we left and went shopping. I also wanted to get another grill made it was gonna be like a bottom row drip style with fangs.
Nyla: now when we get out in public, Ion want you embarrassing me. She said as we were walking back to the jeep.
Me: *pft* whatever, you know you the energetic and playful one out of the both of us.
Nyla: anyway dude. She said giggling.
The grill shop was right next to the mall so we went there first. They have to get a mold of my bottom row of teeth and then they'll make the grill and send it to the condo. Then we went to a couple of stores in the mall. She got more shoes and outfits and so did I.
Me: what you want to eat shorty? I said grinning.
Nyla: I told yo ass I didn't like that fucking name! She said punching me in the arm and scowling at me.
Me: owe damn ok! What you want to eat Ny? I said holding my arm and catching an attitude.
Nyla: hmph. Chinese food. She said smiling at me, pinching my cheek, then skipping off to the food court.
Me: I told you yo ass was playful. I said walking behind her.
I ordered the food and then some female came up to me.
Maria: hey. My name is Maria. I seen you over there and I thought you were kinda cu-
Just then she was cut off by Nyla.
Nyla: oh nahh fam he's taken. He's all good thanks for the complement tho hun. She said smiling then kissing my cheek.
The girl just walked away. I stood there shocked for a moment.
Me: why you do that shorty? I said looking at her puzzled.
Nyla: she was no good for you.
Me: how you know that?
Nyla: just call it women's intuition. You wouldn't understand Shawn.
Me: you know you're a good friend. I said smiling and handing her the food and drinks while I carry everything else.
Nyla: yeah....friend. She said hesitantly.
After we loaded up the jeep we headed home. The whole ride back she was silent. I wonder what's going through that pretty little head of hers.
