    " Rise and shine boys! It's your last first day of school today! " said Ms. Young. I look over and see the amazing view and also Jace still sleeping, I decide to sit up since I haven't been sleeping since I've been here. I take a deep breath and head to the bathroom to start my morning routine.  Once I finished using the bathroom and brushing my teeth, I stop and stare at myself in the mirror. For a long while I forgot what I was doing until Jace banged on the door which snapped me out of my gaze. " Hey Zane man you alright in there? " he asked. " Yeah man I'm good, thanks." I replied. I brushed it off and headed into the shower.


   As I walk downstairs to the kitchen I see my godmother dancing to Solange's song; Cranes in the Sky, and I can't help but join her dancing. No sooner than me joining, here comes Jace and we all just enjoy the moment. I can't remember the last time I've actually soaked up a moment like this. " Alright boys, I have to leave for work. Make sure you leave on time! " says Ms. Young as she gathers her things. " Oh and Jace, make sure you give Karmaa a big hug for me! " she said as she hurried out of the front door. I notice on the corner of my eye Jace's eyes light up as if it is Christmas morning and he sees all of his toys. " Karmaa? She can't be serious! " he exclaims. I look at him confused because I have no idea what he is talking about. " Who is Karmaa? " I asked. "That's my girl best friend since diapers, she like vanished 2 years ago and now she is finally back! This is great " he says with excitement. I continue to eat my breakfast not interested in the excitement. I look at my watch and I jump. " Shit Jace! We're about to be late, let's go! I said grabbing my varsity jacket and bookbag.


     Jace's house isn't too far from the school so we walk. As we quickly make it to the school's parking lot, I notice all of the girls staring at me and I am eating it up. I live for this attention. I turn to see if Jace is with me and out of nowhere he disappears into the crowd. But back to the topic at hand. Some may call me a hoe in this school, but truthfully none of these girls here are worth not even a constant text back. You have the girls who will fall at my feet, then you have the girls who will literally give me all I would ever want. That use to be cool but its senior year and that kind of stuff is pretty pathetic to me now. Jace has a girl now so I think the hoe stage for me is null and void. " Wassup man! " says Troy approaching me with a handshake. Troy is another close friend besides Jace I have here. I moved here 2 years ago when my parents died and I needed people around me. People I care for and mostly, family. Troy is like family to me and nothing can change that. " Hey, man have you seen Jace? " I asked. " Nah he may be somewhere near Jazlynn" he replies. I thank him and try to spot Jazlynn throughout the crowd.


Where the hell is Jazlynn? Maybe she's with the cheerleaders, I thought to myself. As I was looking in that direction, I spot a new face. She's different, and not to say drop-dead gorgeous. Who is this and why haven't I met her? She looks good, let me stop looking at her like this. But for some reason, I couldn't stop. She was a sight for sore eyes, and I liked watching her. She broke eye contact and it snapped me back. Oh shit, I think I scared her, maybe I'll just catch up with him later. Yea ill just see him later.

    Great, I'm stuck with boring Ms. Smith again. This is going to be one hell of a senior year. " Hey wassup Zane" shouted from across the room. I wave to be nice but I truly have no clue who that is. I sit on a desk in the back waiting for Ms. Smith to start, and at the corner of my eye, there she is. The beauty from the parking lot. I watch her and I know she senses me looking but I can't help it. Oh, Ms. Smith is finally starting but I don't break focus from her at all, she is beautiful. 

   Ms. Smith talks so much I try to remain focused, I'm slowly falling asleep which is terrible because this is a subject I actually like. She asks us a question and I easily know this so I raise my hand, just like many others in the class. But for some reason, Ms. Smith calls on the new girl I can't stop staring at. I must admit she is fierce. She is going toe to toe with Ms. Smith but truthfully I want Ms. Smith to just stop bugging everyone so I interject.  Ms. Smith finally settles with my answer and returns back to the board and a sigh of relief comes from the new girl's lips then she slowly turns and looks at me with a smile, and I just couldn't look away.

I must admit, no one has ever had me like this, especially without even one conversation. Yea she's different.


     Later during the day, I thought its time I actually find Jace since I haven't seen him. I looked by his locker and I couldn't find him at all, go figure.  I finally just decide to check by the locker rooms and I found him. He was standing in front of the girl's locker room so I assumed he was waiting for his girlfriend. " Hey " I said as I stood next to him. He looks over and gives me a fist pump. " So I see you found Jazlynn huh? " I said as I touched the clothes in his hand and laughed. " Nah man this is Karmaa's stuff she should be coming out, you can finally meet her" he replies. I nod and the locker room door opens, the new girl I've been going crazy about is Jace's- Karmaa? Wow, I thought she looked good with regular clothes but this uniform is doing something for me. She looks good. She looks at me shocked but all I could do is smile and give her a compliment.

   Karmaa finally greets me and now I can put a name and a voice to a face. A beautiful face that is. She starts to walk ahead of us and I watch her every move. I hope Jace doesn't notice he might be pissed about it. Jazlynn finally appears and they both kid around then eventually rush off. She doesn't look back, and neither do I.
