Flowers, candy, cards, etc were on my porch everyday for a week. It wasn't a guessing game when trying to determine who left all the gifts at my door. One morning I even saw the lightskin teen hiding behind a tree, waiting for me to open the door and leave for one of my many tutoring sessions. I could tell he was a  little disappointed when I threw all of it right in the trash.

Melo was consistent and persistent. He knew I was upset with all of his shenanigans during the last month and to be frank, I have no regrets. Melo and I have been best friends since pampers, a break from each other was crucial. At this point I didn't know if I wanted to be strangers forever and if he really wanted me back in his life, he would have to show me he cared"

"Topic of today's session- Trigonometry" was written on the chalkboard in the small white room, in the back of the old Jamenson Library. A redhead, white girl who sported ripped denim jeans with roses all over the pant legs and a plain white tee was seated near the door while I was on the other side of the room. She was really pretty in a Junie B. Jones kinda way.

A middle aged, handsome black man stood at the front room and explained the delay, saying "We'll start in about three minutes ladies, we are waiting for one more boy."

Junie B. Jones turned to me and gave me a bored look, meaning that she didn't want to be here but was required or was forced to. Well, I guess no one but me was here just to better themselves. My thoughts halted when the finest, dark skin boy walked into the room.

"Mr.Morris, nice of you to join us."

"I'm sorry for my tardiness. My car broke down and I had to hitchhike the rest of the distance which was two miles", The Morris boy answered.

"Ok, have a seat please."

The chocolate god looked around before sitting just in front of me.

The proctor, who's name I didn't know yet, said "I'll be right back, I have it go to get the workbooks. You may talk amongst yourselves."

Junie B. was knocked out and the boy had turned around and reached out his hand.

"I'm Taylor. What's your name?"

I was stuck. My hands got clammy and my head swirled with thoughts of how cute he is.

"Kyla," I finally spit out while shaking his hand, "my name is Kyla."

"Nice, are you here just to refresh on your studies or you just like Math? I need some help so I'm ready when the school year comes and I can't study because of football" he ranted.

"I just wanted something new to learn. I know it sounds weird but I like learning."

"Well, I hope you learn as much as your brain allows, Kyla."

I was about to answer but I was cut off by our proctor.

"Welcome children. This is Trigonometry 101. I'm Mr. Tulula. During this 1 month period we will be introduced to various topics in the Trigonometry realm. Let's get started."

We've been here for two hours and we're collecting our things getting ready to leave. The session was intriguing yet vigorous, something I could definitely enjoy gettin into.

"Do you think I could get your number, for homework purposes I mean" Taylor nervously asked, stuffing his large hands in his black jean pockets.

"Of course!" I quickly answered, grabbing a piece a piece of paper and writing my name and number on it.

"Thanks. See you in two days Kyla" He said as he departed out the Library doors.

"Yea, see you" I mumbled, realizing he wouldn't hear me if I had said it louder.

It was about a ten minute walk to the library and I couldn't help but think about Taylor and fine ass. He was just too cute to just forget until I see his beautiful face again.

I made my way down my street only to see Melo and his brothers sitting in the driveway. I tried not to catch their attention but as soon as turned my head all three of them were looking my way. LaMelo's eyes were burning holes into the side of my face. "Don't look at him, don't look at him!" was continuously chanted in my head but I couldn't help but stare at him. He was my first "love", it was hard to get over so quickly.

"Kyla! Wait a minute." Melo yelled as he jogged over to my side of the street.

"What do you want, Melo? The last time you wanted to speak, you called me a bitch. So what is it this time?!"

"I..."

"And you know what? I feel stupid for liking a boy who never had respect for me."

"Kyla! Listen, ok? I was stupid, insipid, and cruel. You were the most important woman in my life other than my mom and I let you go by dating the wrong girl for me and calling you out your name. I'm beyond sorry and if I could take it back so I could have you back, I would, but I can't. I need you back and I'll do anything. I broke up with Bella, I stopped drinking and fucking around, I even starting reading some of the books you always wanted me to read. I can't shake you and if I have to leave gifts at your door for a year I will. Just don't push me away, I don't think I can handle it anymore."

I couldn't speak. He had said a lot and I couldn't process all of this information. I really missed him and I didn't think I could hold up this rigid act much longer.

I randomly jumped on him, wrapping my arms and legs around him, holding him close.

"Am I forgiven?" Melo asked, gently rubbing my back.

"We'll see." I said, smirking.

The picture above is @kkelly00125 on IG. She's so pretty so give her a follow. Ok so one time Don was like "yo snap me, my snap is public." So I was all nervous so I sent him some corny joke like "Do you smoke cause weed be cute together." So he put a whole bunch of laughing emojis so then I was like "It was funny wasn't it and he replied....
