BEEP! BEEP! BE-!

I turn my alarm off as I slug out of bed. It is 4am but sadly, I am still exhausted. An image of Rodney pushing me against the wall last night pops into my head. That wakes me right up.

I smile at the memory of last night. The wonderful first meet of family to family. The heated kiss. I hop to the bathroom to shower before school. In the shower, I sing Un-thinkable (I'm ready) by Alicia keys. 5 minutes later, I am out the shower and have already brushed my teeth. I have my outfit picked out and my books already packed.

By 6:30am, I am prepared and fully dressed along with my sister. She comes into my room and we talk about last night until it is time to go.

"So Kingston?" she asks and I immediately laugh.

"Yeah, I think he really likes you" I say wiggling my eyebrows.

"Jordan" he calls softly. I smile before looking up and nodding for him to continue.

"Um..I know it is only the 4th day of school and all, but I really, really, REALLY like you" he says nervously. I am silent for a while from shock before I smile.

"I really like you too Rodney" I tell him and watch as his face lights up.

"REALLY?!" he whispers excitedly.

"Yes really" I laugh. He looks at me nervously for a moment before dropping a bombshell on me.

"Welll, will you be my g-girlfriend? He asks. I am silent again before I realize I am making him nervous.

"I-"
