Kyah

"So how did it go?" Bria asked me.

"It was cool. I guess." I said walking into the classroom with Bria and Brandy.

"You guess? What happened." Brandy said.

"We just talked and joked around."

"Bitch you need to give us more than a one sentence response." Brandy said.

"When something happen than I'll let y'all know. Until then leave me the hell alone." I said irritated that they keep asking questions.

I sat in my seat and Bria and Brandy followed to sit in their seats. I looked around the classroom until I spotted Dante. When he saw me I smiled and waved at him. I was kind of happy to see him. Why? I don't know. He did a slight smile and nodded to me before going back on his phone.

I was walking to lunch when I saw Dante with Tre and Carter. I put on some lip balm because my lips were dry and walked over to them.

"Hi Dante, Tre and Carter." I spoke.

"What's up." They spoke.

"We'll meet you in the lunch room." Carter said before he and Tre walked away. Dante watched them then turned to me.

"Do I get a hug?" I asked smiling.

"Yea." He said before he pulled me into a hug. I inhaled his scent before we pulled away.

"You want to leave?" I asked. I was over being in school. I was hungry and we'll just come back after lunch.

"Right now."

"Yea. We can go get something to eat then come back." I said.

"I don't think so." I grabbed his hand and pulled him down the hall.

"You have to live a little."

"This isn't living." I laughed. "This is like my death wish."

"You so dramatic." I pulled him out the door and we quickly walked to my car. We got in and threw our bags in the back. I started the car and left out the school parking lot.

Dante

Kyah is going to be the death of me. She have me leaving school and I got home late yesterday. I had to lie to my father and hope he believed me. Kyah has me doing things I would never do. I'm constantly worrying if I would get caught and she doesn't have one care in the world.

"Dante. Hello." I hear Kyah calling me.

"Yea. What you say." I noticed the car was stopped and we were in front of Olive Garden.

"I said is this ok if we eat here. What's going on in that brain of yours." She said with a little laugh.

"Yea this cool." I said getting out. She got out and locked the doors behind her. We walked into the restaurant and it wasn't that crowded so we were seated fast.

"Dante relax. You're not going to get caught." Kyah said looking at me.

"I am relaxed." I lied.

"Whatever liar." She said laughing. How could she tell I was lying.

The waitress came over soon and we ordered our food and drinks. I looked up at Kyah and she was on her phone. She looked upset.

"What's wrong?" I asked. She looked up at me with a smile.

"Nothing." She replied the waitress came back with our drinks.

"Bullshit." I said.

"My parents are going on some business trip for a week. It's weird that they both have to go but it's whatever."

"You saying it's whatever but yet you care." I said. I leaned back in my seat and watched her.

"How is it that you can do that?" She asked then took a sip from her drink.

"Do what?" I asked.

"Read me. You haven't known me that long but you can read me unlike other people."

I drunk some of my soda before responding.

"Honestly I don't know. But you can tell when I'm lying. How is that?" She smiled shrugging her shoulders. I love her smile.

"I'm guess I'm that good of a friend." She said and the waitress came back with our food and salad. "Maybe one day I can be more than that." She said wiggling her eye brows.

I laughed. "Maybe. Time can only tell."
