William Jamal Pierce is a 17 year old basketball player that attends Liberty High School. Tall, sexy, talented, and beloved by his friends and peers, he seems to have it all. However, looking from the outside in, everything seems to be going fine fo...
"Excuse me, watch out. Excuse me, MOVE DAMN!" I yelled at other students in the hallway.
I had overslept this morning and was late to my first period and I'm never late, so this was new.
I rushed into my first period English class, going straight to my seat in the back. I saw Kani sitting close and sat next to her with the biggest smile on my face.
"Hey, Kani. How are you doing on this lovely morning?" I asked with a smirk.
"I'm fine." She said with an attitude.
"Uh...you good? Did I do something already?" I asked, confused.
"No, Will I'm sorry. Some rude bitch in the front of the class was talking about I was in her seat and then you had the little dick riders that's like that's Leah's seat. Leah always sits there." She mocked, in a high pitched tone, rolling her eyes.
"Like, I don't give a fuck who Leah is." She mumbled, aggravated.
"Wait, hold on...you talked to Leah?" I asked, nervously.
"Yeah, that bitch thinks she run things in this bitch, like I don't roll like tha-" I cut her off.
"She's here today? What did you say to her? Did you make her mad? How does she look?" I questioned, starting to sweat.
"Um..you good or something? You're acting kind of weird."
"Yeah, girl. I'm good. I was just wondering." I said, acting unbothered.
"Okay, class we're going to start notes before we go over the homework assignment." Ms. Jones stated.
As I looked to the front of the class to start writing notes, there she was. Leah Armani Smith. 😍 She looked better than ever. She always looked good, but it was something about today that made her stand out. Was it the hair? I don't know, but whatever it was she was beautiful. I couldn't help, but to stare at her. She looked as good as the first time I laid my eyes on her.
~Flashback~
It was the beginning of Sophomore year and the basketball team was having practice in the gym, while the cheerleaders were throwing tryouts outside on the football field. Brayden being the player he was, tried to get Danny and I to sneak out to the cheerleaders' practice with him. At first, I was extremely hesitant, but we were practicing plays we all knew like the back of our hands, so we went with Brayden.
As we snuck out of the gym towards the football field, we saw all the girls in their little shorts and tank tops. It was an amazing view, until one girl caught my attention.

I've never seen her here before, so she had to be new. She was very beautiful and I just stood there stuck staring at her. Our basketball coach came out to the field, looking for the three of us and as Brayden and Danny hid behind the bleachers, I stood there in a daze.
As my coach grabbed me by my arm, dragging me back into the gym, I got a glimpse of her smiling and it honestly made me melt. I knew I had to get to know her by any means. After practice, I ran back to their tryouts to see her packed up, walking away. I had to catch up to her, so I ran as fast as a crackhead getting a dollar.
I ran in front of her, stopping her in her tracks.
"Excuse me Miss...my name...is....uh...Will..and I wanted..." I was out of breath.
She giggled. "Hi, there Will. You seem a little out of breath there."
"I am. I was trying to catch up with you." I replied, still trying to catch my breath.
"Okay, you caught me. Now, what?" She askedwith a little smirk.
"I can tell you're new here and I wanted to be your welcome committee and friend." I said, smiling.
"Hmmm...I think I'll like that." She replied as we walked off the field together.
~End Of Flashback~
"William...hello...William!" Ms. Jones yelled across the class.
I woke up from my daze, drooling all over my desk. Did I just start day dreaming in front of the whole class? In front of Kani?
I looked around as the entire class stared at me, laughing as Kani sat there with a confused expression as to why I just zoned out.
"I'm sorry Ms. Jones. You can continue." I said, looking at my notes to avoid the eyes from around the classroom.
All it took was one look at Leah and I go off into a whole dream. Fuck, this was about to be a long year. 🤦🏾

LEAH POV—
I froze from copying the notes on the board, when I heard him. His voice, so deep that it sent chills down my spine. The same voice that I loved to hear whenever we were around each other or simply talking on the phone. The same voice that made my day. The same voice that I always yearned for. The same voice that I missed after we stopped talking. The same voice that was here at this very moment in my English class. Shit! 😩
Damn it! He's in this class?! And first period at that! Ah, hell I have to see this nigga every morning. What could possibly get worse than this? 🙄
No worries. Get it together Leah girl. Don't let him get the best of you. You've been doing fine these past couple of months and you will continue to do just that. Just keep calm and continue to do you.
I coached myself in my head. I broke from my trance and went back to note taking, wishing time moved faster.
