"So what're everyone's plans today? Huh?" My english teacher Mrs. Fazz asks before we all get quiet for a second and laugh, "Okay you guys are too cool to tell me your plans now?!" She laughs making us laugh.

Mrs. Fazz was everyone's favorite english teacher. She's known some of us since elementary school.

"Everyone's going out to eat i'm guessing?" She laughs, "Me too. Hopefully I get proposed to tonight.. I don't know," She laughs looking at her hand.

"But proposing on Valentine's day is so.. ghetto!" One girl laughs, "Like I feel like everyone proposes on valentine's day. Cause then when you have a one year anniversary you share it with a national holiday."

"You think?" Mrs. Fazz tilts her head before laughing.

"Yes Mrs. Fazz," I say getting up to get a tissue, "It's like cliché to propose on this day. A birthday, anything. But go crazy kid!" I say making the class laugh.

"Well, if he proposes you HAVE to tell us when we get back from break," One boy says.

"Facts, and what day cause.." One girl trails off before laughing.

"You guys are crazy!" She fans her hand before going back to her work on the computer.

"Whatchu doing after school?" I ask my friend Jess sitting beside her.

"Girl, me and Kordell.. gonna make a baby tonight," She whispers making me laugh, "Nah, we're going out to eat but afterwards.. you know what time it issss girl," She nudges me making me laugh, "Wassup with Pop Smoke huh?" She whispers making me blush a little, "Did he write a song about you yet?" She laughs making me laugh.

"No..," I laugh more, "But as for wassup with us.. we're talking right now.

"See, I know a start of a relationship when I see it," She laughs going back on her phone, "You know the song started off as close friends somehow you turned into my girlfriend' yeah that's finna be yah," She laughs making me laugh hysterically.

"Okay time to pack up bell's gonna ring in less than a minute!" Mrs. Fazz says before we all get up to go to the door.

And as the bell rings everyone goes straight out into the hallways.

"SEE YOU GUYS AFTER BREAK!" Mrs. Fazz shouts closing the door behind us all and walking down the hallway to the exit.

I head straight to the exit. I had my purse already so I didn't need to go to my locker. As soon as I walked out with Jess, there he was. Parked facing towards the school. He gets out wearing a sweatsuit outfit with a big black bubble monclear coat on. Glasses on. And with a huge boquet of blue roses.

"Yah starting off as close friendssssss next thing you gonna be his shortttyyy, and then yah gonna get marieedddd and have a cute ass babyyyy," She sings making me laugh, "And he got roses that's mad cute!" She takes out her phone to record making me blush.

"Stoppp," I look back at her before turning back towards him.

The whole school seemed to be in the school yard staring. Everyone had their phones out recording us because it was the end of the day and no one ever does anything at the end. All the festivities happen during either lunch or gym class.

"AWWWWWW!"

"THATS MAD CUTE YO!"

"PERIOD! CLAIM YOURS CI!"

"IM FINNA CRY! THEY MAD CUTE BRO!"

"APPLY THAT PRESSURE!"

I shake my head making him smile before he bends down to hug me whole. We both look up at eachother and he kisses me.

"YESSSSSSS!"

"OH MY GOSH!"

"You look mad good today baby!" He laughs making me laugh as I wipe the little bit of lip gloss of his lips.

"Thank you Poppa.." I blush, "But what are these for?" I look at the flowers.

"Just because," He shrugs, "And it's Valentine's day. Gotta show you how you posed to be treated you heard!" He laughs.

"Mad cute. But how'd you know these were my favorite type of flowers?" I laugh before smelling them.

"I listen Ci. First day I met you when we was talking bout mad random shit you told me.. you don't remember?" He laughs making me laugh, "Crazy.." He shakes his head, "I do listen though."

"You dumb cute stop," I blush making him smile as we kiss eachother again, "I got a double G," I scoff.

"Got me showing off my soft side. I never did this before but I like it."

"Me too."

"There's my favorite people!" Cam says coming up to us, "Can you give me and my girl a ride?" He asks Pop making us laugh.

Cam and his girlfriend Olivia been dating since last summer. We hang out occasionionally just to have that big sister, little brother's girlfriend bond that's wildly important to Cam.

"I got you lil bro, hi how you doing?" Pop asks her.

"Hey," She smiles.

"Alright, yah got everybody still watching.. let's go!" Cam laughs.

"C'mon," Pop says putting his arm around me as we walk to his car.

"YOU GO SIS!"

"YEAH BABY!"

"GOALS AS FUCK!"

"CUTEST COUPLE!"

"Swear I do not miss high school," He says making me laugh as we get in the car, "Niggas really go crazy!"

"This is the most important holiday to high schoolers. Every year you see at least ten people walk in the cafeteria with balloons, and bags of panties from victoria's secret," I say making him laugh.

"I remember it used to be that way though!" He laughs pulling off out of his parking space.

"Uhm so the parents are going out tonight, for the week.. so you know what that means," We over hear Cam say to his girl.

"Nah papi what do that mean?" I ask before Pop laughs hysterically.

"I'm just saying Ci," He laughs.

"He tryna get some action!" Pop laughs before I hit him making him laugh more as he pulls out of his parking space.

"Alone time yeah," Olivia says before her and Cam go into their own conversation.

"See you give him one pass and now they think it's just free to do whatever," I whisper to Pop.

"They're teenagers. They're gonna do it anyways no matter what anybody says.." He says to me.

"Both fifteen though.. babies. Listen you guys," I turn down the music and face towards them, "I want yah to slow down. Be kids and have fun. Don't rush to have sex or whatever. Protected though. Do not rush. Be fifteen and worry about grades and BASKETBALL. Don't be tryna be down. Alright?"

"Alright Ci," Cam says, "We we're just gonna have like a movie night in the living room. We're not gonna do the nasty everytime we're together," He laughs.

"Yeah, it was just that one time.  Experience," Olivia says, "Can't promise it won't happen again but definitely not gonna be addicts with it," She says making Pop laugh.

"Just use protection please. Seriously."

"We will," Olivia nods.

I turn around and sit back right in my seat.

"Like I said.. if she ends up pregnant ima jump you," I laugh.

"She's not calm down," He laughs.
