Tiana Hendrix

All morning Remo walked around with a smile and a very positive attitude for some odd reason.

I asked for ten dollars as a joke and he gave me fifty.

Fifty freaking dollars !!

He's usually side eyes me and gives me one dollar because he's petty but nope not today.

He's extra nice, I like him better when he's giving me an attitude and being childishly petty.

He dropped me off at school an hour ago, before I got out of the car he kissed my cheek giving me a wink. Freaking weirdo !!

"Asami" Ezekiel sits in a seat beside me smiling

Did he just-?

"I introduced myself as Tiana, please respect me by addressing me as Tiana or Titi. I don't know you well enough for you to call me anything other than the two options I gave you" forcing a smile I got up going to a different seat across the room.

He makes me feel uncomfortable.

Sending a text to Remo I told him the little encounter I just had, anything that leaves me uneasy I tell him.

If I go missing I want someone to know who and what made me paranoid, as of right now it's Ezekiel.

Even if I didn't have a stalker and felt uneasy or uncomfortable I'd leave, I overthink a lot and would freak myself out to the point if I heard something loud or someone passed me too quickly I'd panic. I try to avoid conflict or confrontation because of this too.

Remo: send a picture of him

Glancing around the room I pretended I wasn't looking at Ezekiel, the teacher called him out to answer a question forcing him to take his eyes off me. I quickly took his photo before sending it to Remo.

He didn't respond right away but when he did I thought about my answer.

__
Remo: would you like me to come to get you early?
__

Apart from me wanted to stay for my next class but then I realized he'll be in there too.

__
Tiana: Yup! Can we stop by that burger and milkshake place on the way to your house?
__
Remo: Home* it's not just my house anymore T, we live together and yes we could stop there.

Hearting his message I locked my phone leaning back in my seat with a smile.

"Tiana?"

The smile slipped from my face and was replaced with a blank stare.

"Zeek?" I respond in a bored tone

"Could you show me where the sports Directors office is after class?"

Just the other day you told me you had a virtual tour

"No" shaking my head I picked up my phone when I felt it vibrate. "It's across from the main gym, it has a sign above the door that says 'sports director office' you can't miss it"

"Right" nodding he chuckles adjusting his pants

Remo: I'll be there within ten minutes, are you okay?
__
Tiana: Yeah I want a hug and maybe a forehead kiss wouldn't hurt. ;)

Playing a game on my phone I waited for the bell to ring.

Minutes later I see a few people change seats around me I sat paying attention to my surroundings.
