"Ryliya" I hear I lift my head up from my bed and look down to see book nia and tess"can you like make us some cookies"booker asked
I've never wanted to slap someone so hard I grabbed one of my stuffed animals and threw it at them "is that a yes orrrr" tess asked
I just got out off bed and put my slippers on I walked to the kitchen and started making the cookies "and can we watch you at dance practice" booker asked"okay what's this about "I asked my voice was still a little raspy
" we need a report on our friend and you are our friend so we're going to tell them about you"booker says"we go to the same school "I said putting it in the oven
" I know"he nods making me roll my eyes "School" I yell before running to my room taking a shower and getting into this
"How is your back so straight" nia asks "dancer skills" I smile
I put my hair in a one pony tail and the rest down I ran back in the kitchen I took the cookies out and put them on the cooling pan
Booker just kept looking at me
"What" I asked leaning on the counter "Nothing you just look Beautiful" he says "thank you"I blushed before looking away from him I grabbed the cookies put them on a plate and wrapped it in plastic wrap
I gave him the plate "come on we're gonna be late" I say grabbing my backpack and phone

"Woah who's your new friend booker" a boy with glasses asked while I walked to my locker
"Her name is Rylie johnson from New Orleans Louisiana" booker says their lockers was far from me but I could still hear them
I put my airpods in and took my phone out while grabbing my books and closed my locker
I put my twizzler in my mouth the bell rings I walked to english class
"We have a new student today Rylie johnson"the teacher says"Welcome to Carver High school come on up and tell us about yourself" she says

We kinda stood there and just stared at each other
Holy shit we kissed oh my god I kissed booker my best friend but also my best friends brother " See you later bye rylie "he waves I responded in gibberish before closing the door
I slid down the door with a smile on my face before realizing I'm burning the cookies I got up and put them in the basket with the other things I made for them

I woke up the next morning took a shower brushed my teeth and hair and put this on
I put my hair in a bun with two strains of my hair down before grabbing my phone and backpack I left my mom a note and left I opened the door to see tess nia and booker
"Good morning"nia says " Morning "I respond" Why not a good morning "booker asks walking next to me I shrugged as we walk out of the apartments
" Rylie are you okay"tess asks "does it look like I'm not okay" I ask"yes"she says"I am I promise "I smile
"Hey rylie"floor boy says me and booker gave him a stank eye in unison" Hi Jack"nia says freaking out
"You look pretty today" Book smiles"Thanks"I smile"you look prettier today"jack says "bitch please" I mumble drinking my water as soon walked faster
''Your really pretty for a black girl"a white girl says walking out of my dance studio we all froze
I almost launched myself towards her"she not worth your time ry ry she ain't worth it"booker says "You right " I nod as we reached the school
"So booker rylie you guys we're really really close last night when mom sent you to her house" Nia says
We both glanced at each other"Yeah she was telling me something"booker lies "it didn't look like she was talking" tess say
"I told him I was bringing some of the b I made that night to your house" I lie while opening my locker
"Or you kissed him"jack says with a picture of us kissing everyone gasped" he kissed me I ain't kiss him"I say
Booker glared at me the bell rings I never ran so damn fast I sat down in the middle like always "we have a new student please come up and introduced your self"the teacher says
As I just played with my pencil" Hey wassup I'm Arnaz Ballard I'm from Los Angeles I'm single and Im in band and- is that my girl"he says
I looked up,Ah hell nah"Rylie is that you"he smiles walking towards me, back in new Orleans I had a friend group me and Arnez were close until he kissed my ex bestie
After that we barely talked to each other"No it's Ryan "I say trying to ignore him"Rylie do you know him" my teacher asks
"Sadly yes" I nod"She means amazingly yes"he says "No I mean Sadly yes" I say"Basketball girl now I remember when you used to be my little cheerleader "he says
"I'm older than you"I say in confusion" You right you right but did you miss me"he asks
"No" I say honestly"well the group missed you thats why their here"he smiles
I slammed my head on my desk "Hey ry ry" Breanna says "Rylie" I correct "Rylie" she repeats "tess one time I'm asking you to do this slap me so I can be sent home I'll make sure you don't get in trouble" I beg
"no no why don't we get in our seats"the teacher says when he said the group he meant the WHOLE group
" Adam"I smile doing our hand shake "you haven't changed a bit just the style" he says
"yeah and you finally have good eyebrows" I smile he smiled and rolled his eyes before walking away it almost felt like I was back home
I think I hate this chapter
