Monday 10:18 am

"What time you got class?" Asks Isaiah.

"11:00" I say. I pretty much, completely ignored Isaiah all day yesterday, and he continues to try and talk to me. I thought I made it pretty clear I don't want to speak with him.

"You got class with Tavion right?"

"Yeah" I say and leave the bedroom. I go into the kitchen and make a quick bowl of cereal. My parents always refuse to include meals in the payment for the school, because she says I need to cook for myself.

"You got to leave if you want to make it to class on time" He says.

"I know." I eat fast and put on my shoes and sweater.

"Bye pretty boy."

"Nigga didn't I fucking tell you to stop calling me pretty" I say and leave. I decide to take the stairs to the exit. I meet Tavion at the bottom of the steps with another guy. "What's good Tay?"

"Thanks man" Tay says to the man and shakes his hand. He waits for him to leave the building to say hello to me.

"Who was that?"I ask. He shakes two small bags in my face. "We finna go to class, and you buying weed now" I say and laugh. We walk down the side walk toward the building where our class was.

"Well you see, he was only available this morning". Tavion states.

"psh, okay" I say. We make it to math class and sit next to each other. It was our second day into the second semester and I already had 3 big assignments due this week. I mean I should be used to this, its my second year in college, but for some reason I was not feeling good about this.

"You are late again Miss. Smith? Well, actually you didn't even show up yesterday." says my professor. Maya Smith walks into the room with a white Tommy Hilfiger t-shirt, and low cut, dark blue, ripped jeans. She had a black Jansport bag on, and a pink Nike visor on her head. Her dark brown hair was curled and bounced as she walked. She was beautiful.

"That's Maya, she fine right?" says Tay, and nudges me.

"Yeah, I've seen her before, like.. once." I say. "I've only ever seen her from far, with her squad though." She sits in the front of the room.

"Alright lets begin!" says the professor. Finally, two hours of talking and note taking, is up and class is over. "Maya I need to speak with you, can you stay for 10 minutes maybe?"

"No." she says without hesitation.

Tavion and I wait outside the room and listen in on their conversation. "I don't want to stand here.." I say annoyed at him.

"Shut up, I wanna get her attention when she comes out."

"I'm sorry, but why is that?" Asks the teacher.

"Because I have a life. And detention is for babies" she says and walks toward the door.

"She's coming" says Tay and smiles at me.

"Man chill" I reply. I had no idea why he was so excited to see her. She opens the door and walks toward the exit of the building.

"Maya!" Tavion yells out at her, but she continues to walk. "Well, that didn't work as planned"

I laugh at him and we leave the building. I return to my dorm with Tay and Isaiah isn't there.

"Where he gone to?" I think to my self.
