__________________________

*Ray's POV*

I watched her laugh,hitting me with the pillow again. My heart fluttered everytime she smiled or laughed,or even looked at me. I've had a crush on her for a while now,but I don't know how to approach the subject. "Stop looking at me like that." She said,tilting her head to the side as she looked at me. "What do you mean,Pey?" I asked,and she smiled. "I mean,when you just look at me and blank out. You don't listen to what I say or anything." She frowned at me playfully. "Because you're so beautiful,it's distracting." I said,making a funny face. "Noooo,Ray. Don't say that. Stop it." She covered her face with a pillow,and I chuckled,already knowing she was blushing. "Well,you are. Most beautiful girl i've ever laid eyes on." I flirted on,just waiting to see the adorable blush on her cheeks as I uncovered her face. She looked down,covering her eyes.

I looked at her adoringly,taking her hands into mine and kissing them both. "You're so adorable." I said,and laughed as she blushed again,turning her head and trying to hide it. She covered her face in her hands again. "Why are you saying all of this?" She asked,finally looking at me again. "I've never told a lie,have I?" I asked,looking at her. She looked at me again. "Don't do that." She said,giggling. "Do what?" I asked innocently,looking at her. "You know what you're doing. Stop ittt!" She whined,taking the pillow and covering her face as she layed down again. I laughed. "Why stop? I know you like it." She hit me upside my head with the pillow,giggling. "Have you ever had a boyfriend,Peyton?" I asked. She shook her head no. "A boy back home liked me,but ew." She made a funny face,and I laughed. I took her hands into mine,looking into her eyes. "So do you like me?" I asked,and saw her cheeks glow red once again.

"Yes." She answered,a little too simply. I squinted,still looking up into her eyes. "When you say 'yes', are you meaning in a brother type of way or the other way? Because I mean the other way. I'm n-not trying to pressure you or anything,though,because I don't want our friend-". I bucked my eyes as she grabbed my cheeks,pecking me on the lips three times. My pulse increased,and she looked at me,an eyebrow raised as I licked my lips. "Does that answer your question?" She asked,looking at me. I giggled. "Hell yea." Did someone turn on the heat? It was starting to get hot. She laughed as I fanned myself with my shirt. "Well," I said,turning to her,"I like you too." I looked at her,waiting for her response.

"Well,we feel the same." She said,"What are you going to do about it?" She looked at me,tracing the pattern on her pillow. "We're going to make it official,Ms. Johnson." I said,winking. She giggled as I took her hand in mine. "Will you be mine?" I said,then put a confused look on my face on how corny I looked. "Wait,don't answer that yet." I stood up,taking her hand into mine and squinting my eyes,licking my lips. She laughed,looking at me. "Will you,please,with your beautiful soul,beautiful face,beautiful personality,be mine?" I said,kissing her hands again. She laughed again,causing me to chuckle. "Yes." She said,kissing me on the cheek and causing my heart to flutter once more. I smiled broadly. Finally!

"So,what now,boyfriend?" She asked,looking at me. "I don't know,girlfriend." I said in the same tone,plopping down on the bed. "Well,find out,boyfriend." She said,looking at me. "Shush. I'm thinking,girlfriend." We both chuckled at our goofiness. I adored her in every way possible. I just hope this works like i'm hoping it does.

*Kenya's POV*

"Guess what?" Chresanto said,coming up to me and tugging on a strand of my hair. I looked at him,raising my eyebrows. "What?" I asked,tilting my head. He threw a chip at me. "Chicken butt." I raised my eyebrows,throwing it back at him. "Put it in a cup." I responded,challenging him. "Go around the corner and lick it up." We said at the same time. I giggled. "Wow. You must be bored." I said,putting my hair in two cornrows. He sat beside me at the kitchen counter. "Yes. I want you to come help me with my homework." He said,looking at me. "And what makes you think I'll help you with-" "I'll pay you." He interrupted blankly. "Deal." I smiled,finishing up my hair. "Where's it at?" I asked,looking at him. "Upstairs. We have to go up there because i'm not going all the way back down here." I rolled my eyes. "Carry me." I held out my arms,making a puppy dog face. He frowned at me. "No." I poked out my bottom lip. "Pleaseeeeeee!" I said,looking at him. He sighed,flaring his nostrils and rolling his eyes. Yes! He turned around,and I jumped on his back. "Damn girl,you heavy." He said,and I gasped,bopping him on the back of his head. "Aye,chill. I was just playing." He said,walking up the stairs.

When we got to his room,he dropped me down on the bed and sat down next to me,taking his homework from his bookbag. He put it beside me,laying down towards me and opening it to his math section. "We only have two problems,and it's review. I don't remember this shit." I looked at the paper. I rolled my eyes,looking back at him. "Really? Slope Intercept? Just use the formula." I wrote it down then gave the pencil back to him,and he just looked at the paper then back at me,raising his eyebrows. I sighed and began to work through the problem,showing him step by step. He did the other problem,and I cheered. "That wasn't so hard,was it?" I asked,fluffing his curls. He rolled his eyes at me. "Fuck you." He said,playfully frowning. "You wish you could." I responded,and he raised his eyebrows. "You saying I can't get none of that now?" He asked. "I'm saying you can't get none of this ever." I responded.

He nodded his head. "Aight,bet." He said,and I laughed. "Keep dreaming,Willie." I joked,getting up and walking out. "What about your money?" He asked,and I turned around. "Oh,don't worry about that." I said,and he smiled,winking. I frowned. "Ew. Don't do that." He did it again,licking his lips. "Do what?" He asked,looking at me. I scrunched my eyebrows. "Whatever you're trying to do." I grabbed a pen off of his dresser and threw it at him.

"But you like it." He said,winking again. "Lies put you in hell,Chres." I said,turning to walk out the door. I heard him mumble something as I walked out,but I didn't turn around. I went into my room,taking a quick nap. When I woke up,I went downstairs. One person I haven't heard from in a long time was Mr. Johnson. He stays locked up in that office like his life depended on it,and when he wasn't in there,he was out with his girlfriend.

I went into the kitchen and made a big pot of spaghetti,then when I was done,I called everyone downstairs. I noticed Peyton and Ray walking hand in hand,and my eyebrows raised,a smirk on my face as they sat at the table and I fixed everyone's bowls. I caught her eye,giving her a look,and glancing at Ray. She laughed,nodding. I smiled wide,pumping my fist in the air. I always knew they would end up together. But I wanted to hear it for myself. "Anything you want to tell me,Peyton?" I asked mockingly,fixing another two bowls of spaghetti.

"Yes. Ray and I are a couple now." She said,and he smiled,looking at Penny and Jacob. Amaya sat down next,looking down quietly and twiddling her thumbs. Prod sat down after her,looking a bit down. What the hell was going on? "Looks like we have two couples in the house then." I heard a deep voice,and I jumped as Chresanto stood behind me,placing his hands on my waist. I picked up a handful of noodles,smashing them in his face. "We ain't no damn couple,pretty boy." I said,getting in his face,grabbing my bowl,and walking to the table. I sat down,feeling Peyton and Penny's eyes on me,and I just looked down. I quickly changed the subject,starting to eat,but there was so much tension at the table,I don't think anyone enjoyed their meal. Are Amaya and Prod okay?
