"they don't look better than you, so chill baby." kept replaying in my mind as i sat in last period.

i mean i thought dino was fye and all, but now that made me not even want to see or hear about him. halle looked at me and spoke up. i had told her what i had heard and she was irritated.

"tuh, we not better looking than her, but he was eyeing you down in music." she scoffed

"he was?" i asked her with furrowed brows

"girl, yes like you was a damn piece of candy." she said as she wrote in her notebook.

i sat there and watched her when shazam tapped me. "babydoll, can i talk to you after class?" he asked me

"sure." i said lowly. i turned back around in my seat and stared at the clock.

the sound of the loud bell made me hop out of my seat. i dashed out of the classroom to avoid being trampled on, in the halls.

"lili! wait!" halle yelled as she ran after me. "girl." she said almost out of breath

"my bad, just trying to avoid being caught in these halls." i said to her.

"no, you trying to avoid shazam too." she smirked. she looked as though she was thinking and she lightly hit me "you've never had a boyfriend before?" she asked

"yeah." i said as i stopped at my locker. she began to squeal.

"sister girl! you need a big strong man in your life." she said with wide eyes.

i shook my head at her, grabbed my book bag and closed my locker. we both were walking to allen's car and shazam ran up to me.

"so you was just gon blow a nigga off?" he asked from behind us.

i turned around and seen dino, him and pac.

"i'm just trying to hurry home." i lied "here go my number." i said to him. he walked up to me and i wrote my number on his hand.

"got them digits." i heard pac say to dino, whom was uninterested.

"call me at around 8." i told him

he nodded and spoke "see you round babydoll." he said as they all walked away.

i cringed and halle began to laugh loudly. "what?" i asked with an attitude as we sat on the hood of al's car.

"you don't like him?" she asked as she slowed her laughter down.

"don't get me wrong he isn't ugly, it's just that i don't look at him in that way." i told her, truthfully
