It's the middle of the day and I finally get to see him. Man, did I miss him. 'Pa'shai man, I'm glad your back.' Naomi said, smiling. I was grinning from one ear to the other. Naomi, Jen, Aisha and I went down the long hallway. My heart skipped at least 40 beats when I saw him. He looked good as usual. Before he turned to my direction, I looked at Jen and laughed. 'what's funny? did I miss something?' Jen looked confused. 'He looked dead at me. I'm pretending to be enlighten I guess.' I said , flipping my braids to give the laugh an extra amount of pure happiness.
I felt eyes on me. More than one pair.
As we got down the stairs, Naomi left me for her milky white cousin. 'I hate when she does that. Always leaving people but no one can leave her.' Jen said. I looked at the caf, ignoring her. Milly was right. B lunch is hella packed. 'This is crazy. It's more people than what it was last year.' I said. 'Where is Milly?' I asked. 'Oh she might be in the lunch line.' Aisha said. I walked over there, pushing people outta the way.

'Milly.' I said. She turned around and squinted her eyes. She needs glasses lol. 'Oh heya shai. Find us a table.' She turned back. I turned around to look for a table. They all were occupied. 'SHAAAAAAAI' I heard my name. I turned around and saw the bubbly Siniyah. She ran towards me and hugged the shit outta me. I could barely breathe. 'I know you missed me Siniyah, I missed me too but please let go before I turn purple.' 'Oops, sorry.' She giggled. Why was she always happy? I never understood. I envied her badly. I want to be that happy.
'Hey ya'll.' Naomi said, waltzing back towards us. 'Bitch, gtf you left us.' Jen pushed her shoulder. 'What? My cousin is a freshman. I gots to guide her.' Naomi pushed us aside to talk to Milly. 'Yeah, when we leave you for someone, don't say shit.' I said, rolling my eyes. 'Ya'll gettin in line?' I said looking at Jen and Aisha. 'Nah, but we can wait for you.' Jen said. I looked at the line. Not a chance I'm standing there. People were skipping and the line was long as fuck. 'Maybe later.' I shrugged. As soon as Mills got out of the line, we all found a table.

'Yo piggy, I see tonio.' Naomi said. We all looked up to find a skinny darkskin make his way toward a table. I looked at Milly to see her reaction. 'He mine, no matter what.' Milly played wit her phone. 'Shai, you should probably talk to him.' Naomi nudged me. 'Yeah, I'll do it.' I said looking around the cafeteria. I wondered where he went. 'No shai. You're too ... too..' Milly searched for a word. We all ready. 'BOLD' Jen and Naomi said in unison. I laughed. Yep, when it comes to niggas THEY like I can talk to them. Niggas I like.....not so much. 'Exactly. Bold. Demanding. Stupid. I don't want him exposed to ya'll bitches. Ya'll is crazy.' Milly said to us. 'Whatever, I'm gonna do it. I'm going to the line.' I got up and walked away.
