"OMGGGGGGGGG HE COMING YALL", one girl screams as others girls gather with her.
"What's going on with them?", I ask sitting at the lunch table.
"It's been talk about some new boy coming to school. They only like that because they thirsty", K says eating her fries. I swear we door dash food every day for lunch.
"Bet you he ain't even allat cute", Yanna adds.
I shrug and watch as the girls scream louder and approach the boy. They finally make a way do that I can see him and I smile a little. Seyven: the boy from the mall.
"Y'all that's the boy I was talking to at the mall."
"That's the one?He cute."
"He not bad."
I watch him as he makes his way to the back table across the room. I can tell he not really with all the attention.
"You goin keep staring at him or you goin say something?"
Why not? I walk over to the where he's sitting and stand in front of him.
"Olivia?" 'Wow he still remembers my name. Period', I think to myself.
"Yeah Seyven. Welcome to South Side High School."
"Thanks. These girls shol gave me a good welcome."
"Mhmm how many numbers you get?"
"Five, but it's only lunch", he shrugs and laughs.
"Right well I was just coming to check in. See you later."
"Ight." I walk over to my table and sit down.
"Mhmm you like him don't chu?", Yanna asks.
"No, I just met him. He's cute though."
"Yeah he is. Y'all could be cute", K states.
"Ion see it. It's something about him that ion like."
"You don't even know him Yanna."
"Don't matter. I'm damn near a psychic and I know a good and bad person when I see one. Ian saying he good and Ian saying he bad, but it's sum about him that don't sit right with me."
"Don't listen to her. If you wanna go for him then do it..... Just be smart about it."
I nod and continue to eat until the bell rings.

"Alright class, I've had a brilliant idea for you all. Each of you will have a partner and will engage in a 2 month project that I've assigned. This project is all about getting to know you. You all are in charge of getting to know each other: like background, home town, family, etc. You can make a poster or PowerPoint, but I have a twist. You can also vlog you, your partner, and any information pertaining to the main ideas of the project along with a PowerPoint or poster. DON'T ask me if you could do something else because this project is MANDATORY and is worth a letter grade. And you cannot get out of your partners. Now some of you come pick from the hat to choose your partner", Ms.Miller says pulling out a hat full of little strips of paper.
Some other students and I form a line, while the other half of the class waits. As I wait, people in the line either scoff or laugh when they see the paper. After a little while, I come up to the front.
"Alright Ms. Stradford, go ahead and pick." I reach my hand into the hat and grab a small strip of paper. I look at it and it reads 𝚂𝚎𝚢𝚟𝚎𝚗.
"Umm Ms. Miller, there must be a mistake because there's not a Seyven in this cl-
"Sorry I'm late." Everybody turns to the back of the class to see Seyven. "I was looking around, but everything was switched up."
"It's ok. Take a seat next to Olivia, Mr.Gonzalez. She'll update you on what's going on."
After I explain the project, we start working on it. "You want everything to be perfect huh?"
"Not perfect.... just great."
"Mhmm so tell em about you?"
"Well I'm Olivia and I'm originally from Georgia. I'm the only child and that's pretty much it. What about you?"
"I'm originally from here like I said but I moved to D.C. for a while. It's just me, my brother, and my mom."
"Ohhh. What's D.C like?"
"It's Ight. It's a lil fun in the summer time. What about Georgia?"
"I haven't been there in years. It's extremely fun in the summer though. Ghetto but fun."
"That's wassup.. when you wanna do this vlog?"
"As soon as possible. Maybe next week?"
"You can come over today if you want to."
"I can't. I got stuff to do."
"Saturday?"
"Saturday can work."
The bell rings and everybody scatters out of the class. "Ight Saturday. Ia send you the addy."
"Ok."

"MA I'M HOME", I yell as I walk in the house and lock the door.
"Hey baby. One of your friends is in the kitchen. Something about Jet."
I roll my eyes. "Thank you ma. I didn't think you would let him in."
"He said he was a friend of yours and you do mention Jet and nem a lot. He's been here ever since 12 and he's actually respectful. Says yes ma'am and no ma'am. I like him, but he seem a little hood. Maybe it's just me", she shrugs.
I laugh and put my book bag on the couch. "I'll be upstairs ok?"
"Ok momma." My mom walks up to her room and leaves her door cracked. I laugh a little and walk into the kitchen to see Jet sitting at the bar.
"So you showing up to my house now?"
"Olivia, Ian got time fa it man. I came ova here to let you know that you don't doing no more jobs for me."
"What chu mean? Why?"
"Cuz ion need you no more."
"What the fuck do you mean Jayvion? You come over here out the blue to tell me that I can't work for you anymore because you don't need me any more."
"Don't take it personal. It's just business."
"I'm not trying to hear that. I'm really not. What's the problem? You got something against me?"
"Ion got shit against you. It's just business. Besides you already replaced."
"Wowwwww. Whoever the person is, they can keep the damn job. They don't have shit coming out of it."
"She got some shit coming out of it", he laughs.
"Get out of my house", I scoff.
"Fine." He shrugs and grabs his things before he walks out the door.
