" Wake up," somebody said shaking the fuck out of me. I swatted at their hand and turned over. 

" Ashanti wake up sweetie." I cracked my right eye opened and saw it was Ms. Stevens. Both my eyes shot open, and I sat up in my seat.

" Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that was you," I said apologizing for my reaction. She was lucky though. I usually punch out when people wake me up.

" It's okay baby. Just go wake up yo man, but be careful because he the same way," she said warning me about Nahmir. I laughed at her for calling him my "man". I shook my head and popped a Starburst in my mouth. I love them lil thangs.

" He's not mine, but I'll wake him." She winked at me and went back to her desk to grab her bags. When she grabbed them, she walked out the door and looked at me.

" Y'all better be gone in two minutes."

" Yes ma'am," I laughed. She smiled back at me and walked out of the office. I sighed and looked over at Nahmir who was sleeping, looking like a cute lil baby. I almost didn't want to wake him. I grabbed my phone off my lap and took a picture of him. I slid my phone into my back pocket and made a mental note: make that my wallpaper.

I walked over to him and slowly reached my hand down to tap his shoulder. I pulled back real quick, thinking he was going to swing or something.

That lil bitch didn't move at all.

I stood up straight and smacked my lips. I grabbed his shoulders and shook them. As much as I was jerking him around, his eyes didn't open at all.

" Mir wake up," I pleaded while continuing to shake him. He grabbed me by my wrists and pryed my hands off his shoulders.

" Stop," he said still holding my wrists with his eyes closed. His voice was so raspy, it made me bite my lip. The thoughts running through my mind.

" You need to wake up. It's time to go home," I said leaning closer to him.

" I know," he said letting go off my wrists and pulling me down on his lap by my waist.

" Stop playing, Mir. I wanna go hooooooome-uuh," I whined while kicking my feet like a baby. He snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me close with his eyes still shut.

" Stop doing that. You too cute for allat," he said putting the back of his head against the wall. His eyes were still close.

" Shut up," I said looking away because I was blushing like crazy. This is the down side of being so light. People can see what you feeling all the time. 

" Nah. You shut up. We can go in a minute."

" Why I gotta wait on you? I wanna leave now."

" Stop pouting. I want you to ride with me unless you already got one." I smiled in my head listening to his voice.

" Nah. I walk to school."

" You walk to school? But you said yo ride was late this morning."

" Nigga it's called lying. I got out the house late, so I was late getting here. I don't like getting rides. Walking gives me time to think," I told him.

" Too bad. You can think tomorrow. You riding with me."

" Miiiiiirrrrr? But--"

" You riding with me. No questions." I smacked my lips and rolled my eyes.

Almost instantly, he lightly grabbed my neck and pulled my to him.

" Stop pouting. I can't stand that shit," he said lowly in my ear. I shivered and mentally checked out.
