My alarm woke me up. I looked at my phone and saw it was only 5:30 so I rolled back over on my pillow and buried my face in it.
"Just 30 more minutes and I'll get up" I muffled through the pillow.
I just laid there. I didn't even feel like getting up at all. Not for Saturday school. Not to see anyone's face besides Nia, Isaiah and their parents. But I knew the inevitable would soon come. At 6:00 my alarm went off again, this time I got up and got in the shower.
Drowning out the outside world with the sweet sounds of noname gypsy's new EP telefone, forever was playing, Joseph chilliams rap verse came on which was my favorite verse,
"We gon live forever like Aaliyah, look how they did Rekia, honestly I'm just happy I could be here hoping I don't offend all my peers, when I say that ass is a mouthful like kujichagulia."
Humming through the parts I didn't feel like rapping I skimmed through to my favorite part.
"They hold my life in low regards hoping I'm hopeless, but I been in love so long like Janet Jackson poems, I know I'm terrible but I'm focused like a variable"
I rapped his verse while finishing washing up and wrapping my towel around me and stepping out just in time for Nia to walk in rubbing her eyes, her curly hair was thrown into a careless bun and she had on a white crop top with grey joggers revealing the navel piercing she begged her mom to get. She gave me a half smile with tired eyes as she went towards the shower. I smiled back before closing the door behind me and getting dressed.
Within an hour we were dressed and finished. I had took the time to curl my hair with a side part and pin one side back and the other down. I forced myself into a plaid red and black skirt with a turtleneck long sleeve white top accompanied by knee high white socks and some vans, I figured this was spring dress code . While Nia wore blue skinny jeans with rips and a black halter top with the statement "I'm a unicorn" across it adding a blue jean jacket over it then putting it with white converse.
We decided to walk to school since we needed to talk and knew how stressful today could be.
Nia shut the door behind us and we started to walk.
"You think he'll try some shit today?" I said breaking the silence of our walk
Nia shrugged, "I hope not, cause I'll beat his ass each time."
We both laughed.
"What about his little girl thingy?" I joked
"All I gotta do is blow her direction to tilt that little wig she had on and she'll be running."
I pushed her a little as we both started dying. As we got closer I shifted the conversation,
"So you and hodgy?" I smirked while turning to look at her.
She smiled and turned her head, "he's my nigga, we cool."
I knew her long enough to know what she meant even with her trying to down play it, she was smitten over him as he was for her.
"What about you and Tyler." She smiled and turned towards me flipping the question my direction.
I knew it was coming, "I like him, we're suppose to hang out today. Fuck I almost forgot."
I quickly pulled out my phone and shot him a text,
Me: We're still on for today me and Nia just have Saturday school.
I put my phone back in my pocket as we reached the school.
I headed to my chemistry class, I only had to make up some stuff for him then I'd just wait around for Nia to finish her 3 classes.
