I was walking to Ms. Bodners class when I feel someone beside me. I look over seeing Toosii.

"What do you want?"

"Damn I can't make sure you good?"

"No. Now leave me alone." I pick up the pace and he catches up with me. "Why are you still following me?"

"Don't fuckin flatter yourself, we got the same class and I can't skip the shit no more."

Oh, I forgot.

"Well that doesn't mean you have to be joined at my hip. You're gonna give people the wrong impression."

"What impression?"

"That we talk or something, I'd rather save myself the embarrassment of being tied to your name."

"You actually rude as hell." He says and I scoff.

"Me? Rude as hell? You haven't even seen me rude as hell."

"Shit, a nigga has seen enough already."

"You know what, go to hell."

"Lead the way then."

We walk into the classroom and almost everybody's eyes are turned to us.

I roll my eyes and sit in my seat from yesterday and I could feel Jaylah burning holes in the back of my head.

"Good morning to you too Jaylah." I say and turn around and face her.

"Yeah yeah, good morning. Is there something you wanna tell me?" She ask looking at me then at Toosii who was getting a lecture from Ms. Bodner.

"Fuck no. That's exactly what I was trying to avoid, he just wouldn't leave me alone God he's like gnat."

"Tell me about it. Imagine dealing with that for year-" her words trail off as she watch's the boy who sat in the back yesterday. If I remember correctly Ms. Bodner referred to him as Cooley, but I wasn't sure what his first name was.

"Something you wanna tell me?" I mock her and she turns her attention back to me.

"No."

"Who is that?" I ask and she lets out a heavy sigh.

"His name is Jazir, he's my ex."

"Okay wasn't he here yesterday? Why look at him like that today like you didn't expect him to be here?"

"I was only looking at him because he's wearing the hoodie I made him for his birthday two years ago. I didn't think he still had it because I haven't seen it since we broke up."

"Why did the two of you break up?"

"I'd rather not talk about it. But it's still fuck him and fuck Toosii's ass too."

"You could but your attitude ugly as fuck." Toosii says sitting in the seat next to me.

Jaylah scrunches her face in pure disgust.

"Ew, I would never. Why are you even talking too me? I don't even like you."

"Bitch the feeling is mutual. You brought me up, not the other way around."

Jaylah swiftly throws her pen tagging him in the back of his neck.

"You not about to disrespect me. This is why we will never get along."

"Luckily for us we never have to." Toosii replies. Jaylah rolls her eyes putting her attention on her phone.

I pick up Jaylah's pen and sit it on her desk as drew a flower on the corner of my paper.
