Swim Good

|Chapter Two|

|Keiko's Point of View|

"Surfboard , Surfboard , grinding on that wood,". I did a lil dance to the music. I was getting ready for school. I changed the song to Pink Toes by Childish Gambino. I skimmed all the way to Jhené Aíko. I heard her singing and began swaying my hips to her melodic voice while putting lotion on . It was my first day of class in college. I throw on some sweatpants and a sweatshirt.

I grabbed my car keys and drove to campus . I didn't want any breakfast.

On my way to class , a brown-skinned boy bumped into me. "I'm really sorry , I'm Dashawn by the way," he said licking his lips . He was very attractive . He stood at about 5'11 , with thick muscular arms , pink and full lips , and beautiful dark brown eyes that twinkled . "Actually , that was my fault and I'm Keiko . " He stared at me intently for a moment , as though he were studying me . "Well Ms. Keiko where are we headed ? " he questioned with a slight smirk . "I'm headed for AP Statistics ," I answered smartly .

He gave a hearty laugh . "Well lil miss attitude , I am as well . Shall we walk together ? " I looked in his eyes and smiled . Something about him made me feel a sense of familiarity . We walked in a peaceful silence on the way to class . He took a seat beside me and smiled again as we shared a brief glance . Mr. Baudelaire began teaching today's algorithms and such .

Class ended about 55 minutes later . I was going to ask Dashawn what he was doing later but he asked first . "So what are we doing next ?" I chuckled before replying "I'm going to my dorm for a nap ." He stared at my lips and then looked into my eyes . I noticed those were his two main focuses on my face . It seemed as if my body wasn't there or didn't exist . He only looked at my lips and eyes like there was something that he needed to see or hear . It actually made me feel important.

"Ya know , something about you makes it so I know you ," he said. I nodded my head and giggled. "Like we've been friends before, right ?" I questioned, wondering what his answer might be. He shook his head yes. He placed a huge smile on his face . I continued walking in the direction to my dorm as he followed me.

I unlocked my door and walked in , setting my school things. I was getting ready to take off my sweatpants until Dashawn cleared his voice. I immediately turned beet red . "Sorry , I forgot you were right behind me, " I said quietly. "I figured you wouldn't want me seeing you half-naked when we just met," he replied laughing. He sat on my bed and stared at me. I let my hair out of my bun and sat with him.
