Zion Kuwonu

Chapter One

I wipe the drool of my face as I look for my phone to turn that stupid alarm off. Today's the first day of senior year and I really don't want to go. I grab my phone and looking though my notifs, and all I see is my annoying ass best friend's text. 'SAMMY FIRST DAY OF SENIOR YEAR WE FINNA ROCK THIS MF SCHOOL BIIIIIITCH!!' Sent at 5:46. She's so extra sometimes, I swear. I still love her tho. I text her back:

'why were u up at 5:46'

'I couldn't sleep'

'Omg well gm'

I put my phone down to get ready. What am I gonna wear, I mean it's the first day of senior year so I gotta wear something popping. I pull out some ripped jeans, crop top tank, and a flannel. I put my makeup on and did my hair, got dressed and put on my socks and my red Converse. I went downstairs and said hi to my parents who were in the kitchen.

"Good morning cheesecake." My mom said, "ready for senior year?"

"Yeah, I guess." I never really felt the rush about the last year of high school.

"Will lemme give you some advice," my dad says, "Don't let anyone tell you that your not gonna make it, and don't let anyone give you any shit."

"Your dad's right. Cause you're that bitch, you and your best friend, Veronica are gonna rock the school."

I laugh at my mom's comment.

"I'm serious. Your gonna do great."

My dad adds, "But just remember, no boys."

"Dad, I've dated before. You know this."

"I know I just don't want a stupid boy to mess with the most important year of school. Don't let anyone boy get to your head, cause if you do, it's gonna mess up college, your job, social life, and sports. Don't let it happen." He grabbed his keys and kissed my forehead. "I gotta get to work, but I love you, and have fun. But do your class work."

"Ok, ok. Bye dad." He left and I went to grab the bread and put it the toaster.

"So," I hear my mom say.

"Yess?"

"I know your father said no boys, but is there one right now?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is there a boy in my daughter's life?"

"I mean, I don't know. There is one guy. We're not dating or anything. Well actually he doesn't even know me."

"Oh, come one. Who's dumb enough to pass you. What's his name?"

"Zion."

"Ooh, I like that name."

"Ok. That's enough. Imma eat my toast now."

"Drink some milk, or something. You're too skinny."

"I'm not even skinny."

"Honey, you're eating toast."

"I'm not hungry in the mornings."

"I know, just eat up so you can go."

I eat my toast and brush my teeth. I grab my backpack, and my phone, along with my ear buds.

"Bye mom!" I walk out the door and start going towards the bus stop. I don't have a car yet, but I'm getting one later this year. The bus comes and we get on, and as soon as I step off at school, Veronica comes yelling and hugging me so hard I could barley breathe. I haven't seen her all summer, so I guess it's fine if she chokes me to death.

"How are you?!"

"I'm good, how was DC?" We start walking towards the school.

"It was cool, it's was really hot tho."

"See any cute guys?"

"There was a few. All the cute guys are here in LA."

I laugh. "You're right."

"So, you excited to start this year?"

"Kinda."

"Yeah, but I heard you got two classes with Zion."

"Oh shit, I forgot about that."

"Maybe you can actually talk to him, instead of running away from him."

"But I always get nervous. Plus he's known to be the 'Bad Boy' and everyone knows me as the 'Child of Jesus' sooo."

"Ok but that doesn't you can't talk to him."

"Whatever."

"Just in time."

"What do you mean?"

"He just got here."

She pointed to him as he stepped out of his new car. I saw him and nearly chocked, because of how hot he is. I swear it's like he came out of a movie. His beautiful dreads were being covered by a black hat. He had an earrings in, and he was wearing jeans, and a black hoodie with a capital C and a star on the side. A true Canadian. I sigh. It took him a couple seconds to catch me staring. I quickly look away, embarrassed.

"He caught you." Veronica said.

"Thanks captain obvious."

We continue to walk, then all I hear is, "Sammy and Zion sitting in a tree."

"Bitch-" I say to Veronica.

She laughed. "I had too. You're like totally in love with him."

"Ok,so?"

"So talk to him."

"I'm good."

"You sure? Cause we have first period in 10 minutes, and he's in that class. Soooo."

"Ughh. Let's just get to the class."

-skip to class-

We walk into the room, of course Zion's there. How the fuck did he get here so fucking fast, damn. The bell rings and we all sit. The teacher walks in. "Hellooooo." He says. "So before we start I wanna get you all settled in so, we start with seats. You don't choose where to sit, so everyone stand up." I hate teachers like him. Why cant we just sit where we want, ugh. He pulled up the seating chart with our names on it, and we had to figure out where our seat was at according it.

The only good thing so far is that me and Veronica sit next to each other. We sat down, and waited for the rest of the class to settle and find their spots. I pull out my phone and scroll through Twitter, then I hear a chair being pulled out on my other side. I looked up to my right and see Zion Kuwonu. The Zion Kuwonu. Fuck. He smiled at me, as he sat down. I gave a weak smile back. I turned Veronica and she's giving me the 'get at him sis' look. I quickly text her.

'WHAT DO I DO'

'TALK TO HIM'

'BUT I CANT JSNS'

'CALM UR SELF CHILD'

'FUCK'

'TALK. TO. HIM'

'WHAT IF HE IGNORES ME'

'JUST SAY HI'

'FINE'

I put my phone on the desk and open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. I text Veronica again.

'BITCH I CNAT FUCKINH DO IT'

'Hunny'

'HES FACING THE OTHER WAY ANYWAYS'

'U just took a fat L'

'IK'

"Ok class. Now that we've found our seats, turn to to shoulder partner and introduce yourselves."

Fuck.
