📍 IN DA VALLEY

Being back feels weird but better than ever being away going to all those camps and tournaments gets tiring I love basketball but a break is necessary being in school enjoying my last year something I was looking forward to.

"I know that's not who I think that is!" someone from behind me shouted trying to get my attention. Turning around showing my pearly whites as they get closer

"in the flesh wassup" slapping him up as we both laughed at nothing in particular. I laugh at anything that's just how it is.

"Yo we missed you I know the team misses you fasho." I smiled listening to him talk "Don't gas me bro but Nah I'm glad to be back I was getting tired every day the same thing missing family just time being out there just was messing with me."

"I feel you look gotta get to class see yo ass on the court," he said walking away. It's funny how much people claim they miss you but you don't ever receive a text or anything checking up on you.

Looking down at my schedule I noticed that I have Studio Art. Making my way to the Art wing eyes following me as I'm walking I can tell this is already going to be a long day.

As I'm Listening to Mr.Eisner discuss our weekly art project a talking figure appears at the door. "Welcome come on in, everyone this is A'naz Jacobs and he will be joining our class but I'm sure everyone knows that already take a sit A'naz wherever you like."

A'naz glances across the room at open seats and decides to sit by himself. Alone in the back surprising me a little since he didn't sit by the thirsty, groupies trying to get his attention since he entered the class.

Every time he comes around it's like my eyes are drawn to him following his every move. I turn around trying to take a quick peek and his eyes somehow make their way to mines I turn around quickly embarrassed.

At this point, he might think I'm weird might as well stop staring if I'm not going to say hi and lord knows I'm not going to.

I shook the few thoughts I had away and began painting anything that came to mind. Somehow my mind drifted off to A'naz again I'm trying to figure out why.

....
Finally, all classes were over and we were going to hang out after school at the courts that were just the hangout spot.

Sitting down on the bleachers of course my eyes found A'naz shooting a 3. I never even seen him before let alone see him play but he good I see why everyone wants him.

"Girl who is you grilling like that I didn't see you move your eyes once" Miles sat next to me laughing.

Rolling my eyes at him and looking somewhere else before he notices what I was looking at "Mind your business love" laughing at the face he was making.

I tuned out of their conversation about basketball not finding it interesting I opened my phone to scroll on Instagram.

He always finds a way to present himself in my life because as I'm scrolling he's in my people you may know. I looked over to make sure nobody's looking and click is profile as I turned my brightness down fast.

He doesn't post much I thought I was going to be able to lurk and see somethings but he only has 5 posts what I'm supposed to do with that. I just simply exited off his page not thinking to follow him.

He's fine as hell but I don't know him and after today him catching me staring I don't want to seem like a weirdo or like the other thirsty valley girls.

I guess the game finished up while I was deep in thought because the gym was clearing up and people were grabbing their things to go.

"A'naz I see you out there gotten a lot better with the 3's since we saw you huh," Milan asked "Yeah practiced almost every day not it's like I never miss," A'naz said as he threw another 3 pointers and made it showing off grinning.

Picking up my stuff walking out following everyone A'naz so happens to be next to me. "Art Class Girl," he said peering down at me. "Art class girl?" raising my eyebrows.

"Yeah, I have seen you staring starting to wonder why you didn't come over and say hey," he asked looking me up and down.

bitting my lip slightly "I don't even know you like that just know your C-dai and then friend and you're popular" I shrugged.

Laughing catching me off guard I stopped to face him " his friends are my friends so that makes you my friend." He said coming closer with his hand out.

"Hey, I'm A'naz," he said grabbing my hand. "Hey, A'naz I'm Zyaire" looking in his eyes still holding onto his hand.

Dropping my hand as he began walking backward still looking my way he flashes me a beautiful smile as he turns and makes his way to his car.

I couldn't help but smirk at his antics. I forgot about everyone else to intune to what just happened with A'naz. He got me stuck already which is crazy cause like I said multiple times I barely know the kid. Seven nudges me "You okay sis you look a little stuck" he laughs.

As I look around the whole gang staring at me nodding my head putting my arms around Seven waists as we walk to his car.

I couldn't tell where this is going I just hope it goes somewhere.
