" Sit the fuck down yo." I tell Noe who was jumping on my bed as I was trying to write.

He decided to come over after school to chill. He low-key just wanted to sleep in my bed though.

" Your bed comfortable as hell." He says jumping and landing with his body stretched out. "So wassup?"

" Wassup?" I ask confused

" You've been writing a lot."

" Your point?"

" Which means you've been thinking a lot. Possibly overthinking?"

I close my notebook and sit against the headboard.

" We ain't have a bro talk in a while." He said smiling from ear to ear.

I chuckle then sigh to myself.

" I'm lowkey stressed." I say looking at my feet.

" Is is cause Khailil punk ass?"

" Nah." I say quicker than I thought.

Noe gives me a look. I sigh again and start to talk.

" Not completely. I mean he is a factor but there are many other factors too. I've got a lot on my mind. But I'll be fine I promise." I say with a closed smile.

He looks at me for a for a moment then gives me a hug. I hate hugs but I hug him back. He leans back to where he was sitting and starts to get under my covers.

" Now turn to cartoons." He says getting comfortable.

Fucking kid.

After Noelle left, Areya texted me and asked her to come sit with her on her break. I ain't have nothing else to do so after stopping to Zaxby's, I headed to my place of work. Areya and I are cool. I wouldn't a friend because we don't really hang together but she's a cool person. I drive for a few more minutes before reaching out job. I walk in and when Areya sees me she smiles and jumps up and down. She's like a girl version of Noe bruh.

" Hey." She says giving me a hug when I get close to her. I don't hug her back.

" Wassup" I say putting our food on the counter. " I bought us chicken tenders."

" Marry me." We both laugh and begin taking our food out the bag.

" Glad you got barbeque sauce and not that nasty ass zac sauce." She says before eating a chicken tender. " Are you and Wiz getting along though?"

I shrug.

I really don't know. I couldn't find him after school and ask him what he meant.

" I saw you. I still see you."

What he said has been on my mind all day and I don't even know why. I feel like I'm overthinking. No one has ever said something like that to me before.

" Where did he stay before moving here with you?" I ask.

" My uncle. My moms brother."

" Why?"

She eats her last bit of food before putting her plate in the bag.

" He got into some trouble while with my mom so she sent him to her brother." She says putting on lip gloss using her phone as a mirror.

I was about to ask another question before looking up and seeing Wizyrd walk into to the store towards us.

" Speak of the devil." Areya says looking from her phone for a second.

" Wassup y'all ?" He says to us.

" Hey lil shit what you doing here?" Areya says putting her phone down and smiling at her brother.

" Just stopped by to say wassup." He says. He turns his head towards me. "I thought I said y'all."

I roll my eyes at him. He's unphased. It didn't surprise me though. I leave them to talk about whatever while I put our trash away. When I walk back the they're laughing about something.

" How'd you get here?" Areya ask.

" My car."

Wait a fucking minute. This nigga has a car and I've been driving him to school without even asking for fucking gas money. I wanna jaw this nigga so bad.

" Wait!" I say stopping Areya from saying what she was about to say. " Why the fuck you been asking me for a fucking ride if you have a car?"

He just looks at my upset face with a blank one.

" I just got it today." He simply says and my face softens. I feel bad now cause I ain't bout to apologize.

I say oh and pick up my phone to avoid the awkwardness. Areya looks between the both us with a weird look.

" Bout time dad got you the car." She says.

" Yeah." He replies to her but I feel him looking at me. " I'm bout to bounce though finna head back to the crib."

They say bye to each other and Wizyrd makes his way to the door. He looks back at her, then his head shifts towards me. His head shifts back forward and he's out the door. At that moment I remembered to ask him. I told Areya bye and dashed out the store. I look around the parking lot and spot him at his car.

"Hey!" I call out, stopping him as he was about to get on his car. I run to his car as he closes the driver's door back.

"What?" He ask with a small smirk and his hands in his jacket pocket.

" What did you mean earlier?"

" What you talking bout?" He ask still smirking and obviously knowing what I'm talking about. I look up at him with irritation and he laughs. The first time I hear him laugh.

" I meant exactly what I said." He says after laughing his intestines out. "I see you." I got annoyed because he still wasn't telling me what he meant and he wore that same damn smirk which annoyed me more.

" Well I don't need to see me nor do I want you to." I say with attitude laced in my voice and I walk off.

" It's cool." He says but I keep walking. " I still see you though." And I hear a car door slam.

After hearing those words I pause. I turn around as his car is moving from the spot it was parked.

I don't want you to see me.
