That's why he ugly ahh. That's why he look like gum on the bottom of my shoe ahh. Tiny shrimp ahh. I'm currently writing mean comments that I could have said to Dejuane, but didn't anyway. I crumpled up the paper and went to bed.
When I woke up the next morning I rubbed my eyes. I did the usual and headed down stairs, when I got there my dad wasn't there. Strange, he's always here to give me something before I go... I don't care. Anyway I just grabbed a apple and left.
When I got to my first period, first person I see is Dejuane. Great, my whole day is ruined now, I roll my eyes and sit down. Imagine wanting to see that face everyday... Oh wait, I already have every class with him. I don't pay attention in class, I always get good grades anyway, even without studying. I was getting kind of bored so I drew a blue eye, blue eyes are the prettiest.

I have collected all my eye drawings since I was a freshman, looking back now. I improved a lot, no one really knows I draw... It's kind of a personal thing. Dejuane sits next to me and he peaks over to see what I'm doing. I close my book.
Weirdo.
When class was finish wrapping up, I gathered my drawings and carried them in my hand, I look at my phone. I'm late. I rush through the hallways and from the corner of my eye I see Dejuane and he bumps into me dropping all my eye pictures. "Could you be less of a jerk?" What's this dude's problem? I hurry and pick all my papers and Dejuane bends down to help me. "I got it. Thanks for trying." I snatch the papers out his hand. I turn around getting ready to leave and Dejuane puts his hands on my shoulder. "Ruth.. I'm sorry for being a jerk, I messed up I know, I don't want you to hate me." I looked him in the eyes, it's like he really meant it. Let me stop being mean for once. "It's okay, just don't knock my drawings again punk." We both started laughing and he gave me that light skin look💀.
Should I head out?
"Let me get your number, let me get to know you a little bit more. I know you not quiet." There's no way to really escape out of this... so I gave Dejuane my number and waved by to him... and for the first time in a while. I smiled with a big grin, why am I so happy?
Dejuane's POV
I know I said she was annoying. But I like her for real, I think I'm gonna text her, I'm nervous though. What should I say? Hi? Hey? What's good?
I put her contact name as 'Ruth🥰' and text her and throw my phone across the room.
Ruth's POV
I'm in the best mood ever! What if Dejuane texts me? What if... wait. Wasn't I just mad at him a second ago. Hmmm... I don't care, maybe I should stop being quiet and closed up and open up and make some friends.
Random number: Ruth?
Me: Dejuane?
Random number: Yeah lol. It's me
I change his contact to 'Dejuane🤠'.
Dejuane🤠: What's up?
Me: Just bored, about to head to bed.
Dejuane🤠: It's 9 pm😭. Why so early?
Me: I can't pay attention in class if I don't get my beauty sleep sooo
Dejuane🤠: Face time me.
Me: But I'm going to bed-
Dejuane🤠: I don't care shawty, lemme watch you sleep. I'll just play video games.
Next thing he calls me and I pick up, we talk for like 20 minutes about our day and I start to fall asleep. That night, I felt loved, nobody cares about me this much. Not even my mom... even after she left us.
