Jasmine's POV

I looked at the intricate, yet simple piece before me. Filled with swirls, lines and patterns, it looked very abstracty.

Abstracty...Is that even a word?

I thought for a second. Uhh, sounds like it. I shrugged, then smiled at the drawing I'd just created.

I tapped my best friend, Dominique. "You like it?"

She rubbed her thumb and her index finger against her chin, as if she were thinking. She then stopped and made a funny face.

"Oooh yass." She raised her hand in the air giving me a high five.

I looked over at her paper. It was just a simple heart filled in with her favorite color: green.

She flipped her hair, playfully. "Gurl, mine is poppin right?"

I smirked. "You already shknoww!!" We both began to laugh, until we realized that we were the only ones making noise. Our art teacher Ms. Golden, looked us straight in the face, clearly wanting us to be quiet. I pressed my lips together while Dominique put her hand over her mouth, both of us trying to calm our giggles.

"Jasmine?" Ms. Golden said. "Dominique?"

"Sorry Ms. G" Dominique said. "We're done."

I smirked at Dominique. "Barely..." At this point, the whole class was in an uproar of laughter. We eventually stopped though, due to Ms. Golden's threatening remarks of sending us to detention. I was not trying to get in trouble on the first day...

Suddenly she chuckled, receiving puzzled faces from all of us.

"You really think I feel like going through all that trouble in getting you to detention? " She questioned. "And on the first day? Nah, that's too much work."

We all began laughing.

"I like her," Dominique said. "She seems cool." I nodded my head, agreeing with her.

A few minutes later, I asked to go to the bathroom. And on my way out, I bumped into someone.

"Sorry," a deep voice said. I looked up, seeing this cute Sean Paul looking guy.

"It's ok," I said reassuring him, with a friendly smile.

On my mini trip to the bathroom, he was on my mind. I wonder what his name is...

He looks like a Jaden...nah an Andy...Whoever he was, he looked good and that's a fact.

Returning to the classroom, I spotted the fake Sean Paul and to my surprise, he was talking to Dominique. I quickly walked over to the two, as he walked off... Fackk I wanted to talk to him.

"So what were you and Sean Paul talking about?" I questioned, raising my eyebrows in a playful manner.

"Who?" She asked as wrinkles formed in the middle of her forehead. I laughed.

"You know who I'm talkin bout, the one with the braids."

"Ohhh, the sexy one." She smirked. "You could've just said that, but he asked me about his schedule."

I nodded, smiling. "What's his name?"

"Oh I dont know, we were just talking."

"Oh Dios mío tan estúpido," I face palmed myself.

[Translation: Oh my god so stupid.]

She looked at me sideways. "Bitchh, did you just call me stupid in Spanish," she asked. "I heard stupido." I laughed.

"I said 'oh my god, so stupid' cause like how do you talk to someone without even knowing their name?"

Dominique shrugged. " Just like that. How about you ask him what his name is since you're like the one that wants to know."

"Nahh, I don't even know him." I started laughing. For why? I didn't even know. Dominique raised her eyebrows and continued drawing.

Within a few minutes the bell had rang.
