After getting all the tea from Chase last night, Aaliyah grabbed her phone and called the number under the name 'Eden'. It was about 5 rings in that Eden finally picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Eden confusedly asked.
"Eden?"
"That's me. Who is this?"
"This Aaliyah: Kingsley and Chase's best friend, we met at that party."
Aaliyah reminded her.
"Oh, whats up? How'd you even get my number?"
"Chase gave it to me. I just wanted to know if you would want to come with me to the mall on Saturday. You seem like a cool girl, so I was just trying to get to know you."
"Umm" Eden started trying to remember if she already had plans. She didn't. "Sure. Yeah that'll be cool."
"Sweet, I'm actually entering school right now. So I'll text you the deets later."
"Alright bye."
"Bye"
Aaliyah hung up her phone and put in her back pocket as she approached the tall, dark skinned, skinny guy that she called her best friend, who was leaning against a wall waiting for her to arrive.
"Where have you been?" Zach asked.
"Home"
"You know we was supposed to grab something to eat before we go to class."
"You're not the one having to put on makeup and actually having to fix their hair everyday."
"You don't have too. You already know how I feel about makeup." Zach put his arms over her shoulder pulling her into a side hug.
"Well I don't care. I like putting on makeup." Aaliyah shrugged. "It's not my fault yo ass gets cranky when you don't have food in your system."
"Girl, food is my habit. Without it I'm not me." Zach said. Aaliyah raised both her eyebrows.
"Are we going to class or not?"
"Whatever, but I don't want to hear you complaining about why I'm irritated."
"You literally could've gotten yourself something to eat." Aaliyah said walking towards their class.
"We planned on getting something to eat together." He said sighing.
"Fine we'll go after class before we have to go to Liberal Arts."
"Now to be stuck in a classroom for 90 minutes without food." Zach groaned.
"Do you want something from the vending machine?" Aaliyah asked as she went closer to the vending machine that was next to their classroom.
"Hot Cheetos please" Zach said. After Aaliyah got their snack they entered their English class and sat all the way in the back in their regular seats.
