" Class don't forget your essays are do Friday " the teachers voice slowly faded after me & my new crew made our way to lunch .. Everyone was hugged up with there companion & Jacqueese and myself slowly fell back from the group " so where you from? " he asked putting his arm around my shoulder " Brooklyn " I said smiling super hard " oh so I got a tough shorty on my hands I see " he said pulling me a little close " well you known" I said playfully pushing him .. Things got a little awkward and silent for a second " I think you're cute " he said looking at me then quickly looking back down shyly " what? " I said shocked " I think you're cute .. I'm feelings you " he said us both stopping in the middle of the hallways I didn't respond I didn't know what to say all I could think about was Ray .. We started walking again and we made our way to the cafeteria I got my food and we sat down with everyone else " mhm " Nae said clearing her throat then look at me & Queese " whatttttt?
