As I was taking my English journal and textbook out of my locker, bumping to Bitch Bad by Lupe Fiasco, I felt a close presence right behind me. I turned around only to see students passing by and talking to their friends, so I turned back around to see Prod and Jacob right there, scaring the crap out of me.

Melanee: *jumps & holds her chest* Oh my freaking gosh, you guys! I could've had a heart attack!

Prod: *laughs* You should've seen your face!

Melanee: *punches him in the arm playfully* Shut up!

Jacob: I can't lie, that was pretty funny. *chuckles*

Melanee: Yeah, ha ha ha. Laugh it up, you jerks! *closes her locker, then walks away*

Prod: Wait Mel, hold up!

Melanee: *stops and turns around* Yes...?

Jacob: What happen?

Prod: We were just joking.

Melanee: I know that...I just don't want to be late for class.

Prod: Mhm, but um Jake, walk ahead of us. I have something to ask Mel.

Jacob: *walks ahead to class* Aight, I'll see y'all in class.

Prod: Jake isn't here so what's really up with you?

Melanee: *continues walking* There's nothing going on. I was serious about trying not to get to class late 'cause Gaskins don't play.

Prod: *walks besides her* Yeah, that's true. But I was wondering...where would be your most favorite place to go in LA?

Melanee: *laughs* Well that was random...

Prod: *chuckles* Yeah you could say that, but I just wanted to know 'cause us guys were thinking about taking you girls out somewhere. Just don't tell the girls because they don't know anything about it yet.

Melanee: Don't worry, I gotchu'. But there are alot of places that I would love to go to though.

Prod: Well try to pick one for now 'cause the rest of the girls have to choose as well.

Melanee: Okay, so I would say Aquarium of the Pacific then.

Prod: Aight, so I'll keep that in mind.

Melanee: Alrighty then.

When Prod and I got to class, we still had ten minutes to spare. I went to my seat in the back, next to Jacob, and he went to his seat, more up front. As I walked to my seat, I noticed Marquise staring at me. Since when he was in this class? He whispered something to his friend next to him, and his friend nodded. As I sat down in my seat, he made his way over to me. Lord, what does this kid want...

Marquise: *sits in the seat in front of Mel* Hey beautiful.

Melanee: Hi Marquise.

Marquise: I see you remember my name. *smirks*

Melanee: I mean... I guess.

Marquise: *chuckles* I understand, but you never gave me your number though.

Right when he made that remark, Jacob turned his head so fast I thought he broke his neck. He gave Marquise the most deadliest look that would've put him six feet under immediately, while Marquise just smirked in return.
