Mint tea

Star

I look at my phone as I sip my tea and check the time. 3:22?! Fuck. I speed out of the cafe and walk out. I maneuver through all the people on the side walk and go in the direction of the building I was supposed to  be in in about 5 minutes. As I walk past a store a door opens and hits me making me spill my tea on me.

"Fan-fucking-tastic." I said to myself

"Yo I am so sorry." He said 

I did everything in my power to not pop off on him. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 

"I-it's fine my fault." 

"You good?"

"Nigga what do it look like." I responded quickly 

I look at my phone and it was 3:30. Awesome. There's no way he's finna let me retake this test.

"Wait was that mint tea?" He asked

"Why does it matter."

"I love mint tea; I can buy you another one?" He shrugged

"No, I have to get to class." I sighed

"I mean you're already late anyways. Might as well get something out of it."

"I'm not going into a store with tea all over my shirt."

"I'll buy you another one."

"I can't, I have a test right now." I said leaving 

"Here! At least take my hoodie." He said 

I turned around and saw him take off his hoodie and under it was a plain white tee. I hesitated before taking it and sliding it on.

"Thanks." I said 

"No problem. And good luck on your test."

"Thank you."

I turned around and headed to class. I walk in and the room was silent and everyone was working on their tests. Mr.B looked at me as I walked to his desk. 

"I'm so sorry for being late, I was on my way here and someone had bumped into me spilling my tea on me and we went back and fourth until-"

"Save it Ms.Heart." 

"But-"

"No buts. If you can't be here on time then there's no need for you to be here." 

"It was a mistake it won't happen again."

"I know it won't but you can't take the test."

"But Mr.B! This is like 45% of my grade!" 

"If it was this important to you then you would've been here on time. Go."

"Mr.B please!"

"I will call security."

I sighed and turned around.

"Fuck this shit, your class ain't even all that anyways you overrated piece of ass." I mumbled walking away

"What was that?" He asked

"I was just signing a song. I'll show myself out."

"You do that."

I clenched my hand and left. 

"Fuck!" I said in the hallway

I left the building and go out side. My next class wasn't until 5. I start to walk home and listen to music on the way. I feel a tap on my shoulder from behind me. I turn and see that again. 

"Hi." I said taking my airpod 

"Hey, how was your test?"

"My teacher didn't let me take it cause I was late."

"Lame. Next time right?"

"No cause it wasn't retake-able."  

"Damn I'm sorry." 

"It's fine I probably wouldn't have made it anyway."

He nodded his head looking down. 

"I can still buy you that mint tea if you want?"

I sighed and wondered if I had anything important to do before my next class. Nope. 

"I'm down."

"Cool cool. I'm Tyler bye the way." He said  

"I'm Star."

"I like that."
