Two brother's navigate life, love and the annoyance of brotherhood, and realize that the most important thing in life can be summed up in one word - family.
"Why would I lie?" I asked Miri as we walked to class. He refused to believe that a guy gave me a flower, let alone talked to me.
"Cause you wanna seem cool." Miri said as we filled into the classroom.
"I don't have to lie idiot. A man, a very handsome man gave me this flower and shared some very positive words with me." I breathed in the scent of the flower and smiled, thinking about how Michael cheered me up. Ahh, I hope I see him again. Just to have another conversation. He seems to be spiritual and earthy like me. 🤗
"You look stupid cheesing like that." He scrolled through his phone as we tried to find some seats.
"Whatever hater. I have a reason to smile and I'm going to smile all day. I have oxygen." I continued with my cheesy smile, remembering his words. . I felt like little hearts were floating above my head.

We found some seats in class next to Nutty who was asleep in one of the chairs, with his head on the desk.
"Wake up." Miri bopped him upside his head.
"Aye nigga don't hit me." He sat up and punched Miri in the arm, then laid his head back down.
Me, Miri and Noelle sat down all in a row in the back by Nutty. The rest of the class filled in.
It was about 20 students in this class, In total. We all elected to take Speech Communications 101.
Auggie told us it was easy, so, yup we weren't passing up easy A's.
I could tell who the studious students were. Me and Noelle had our notebooks out. Nutty had his head down sleep, and Miri was on his phone. Probably lurking on Morgan's Instagram. I caught him looking at it on our way over here. He's so thirsty. Why can't he get, she doesn't want him!! 🙄
I've already prayed that God sends her a wonderful man, who will love and cherish her. And Miri ain't it!
Anyway, I decided to write the date and the name of the class. When our professor walked in.
I did a double take as he walked to the desk. My heart stopped. It was the mystery man from earlier.
Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why couldn't he be just be a student or a...anybody but a professor. He seemed too young to be a professor when I saw him. Why. My fantasy is ruined. I can't crush on a teacher!!!!!!!!!! 😩😭
He took his briefcase, put it on the desk and opened it.
I quickly put my flower in my book bag. I could never tell Miri this now. And now he's gonna continue to believe I'm a liar. I hate proving him right. 🙄
Michael took some papers out his brief case and handed them to a student in the front to pass around.
"This is your syllabus. You only get one. You lose it, that's not my problem. But I know you better come to class prepared and turned in your assignments on time regardless if you have a syllabus or not." He said walking to the chalkboard.
