"ive been waiting up all night,

all night lon--"

sadly, i woke up to my alarm. for school.
after staring at the ceiling for 10 minutes. i finally decided to get dressed for school. normally, i has no problem with picking out an outfit for school. however, this time is different. i'm going to be seen by various people that i have never met in my life.
while i'm brushing my hair in the mirror, someone knocks on the door.
"come in."
"wassup boo?"
"hey.."
"look! think fast!!" she tosses a set of of keys to me.
i examine them.
"you're letting me drive a mercedes to school? are you sure?"
"deja baby, that mercedes is the least expensive car we own. it's fine"
damn. i hope to be able to flex like that when i'm older.
i chuckled. "oh excuse me, thank you though. can you send me the address for my school?"
"yeah girl and come down for breakfast, august cooked"
as i walked down stairs to smell eggs bacon and pancakes.
"wassup mini zhay" august said as he greeted me with a warm smile.
"wassup" i said very giggly, still slightly starstruck.
"hopefully, you won't drive like your sister"
zhayla immediately reacted with an aggressive response. "august, shut the fu-"
"zhayla! language!"
obviously august does not play with zhayla and he knows how out of hand she could get. i can see he's doing a way better job than mom.
after eating, i finally decided to leave. i left a little bit earlier considering the fact that this is my first day. i used the key fob to try to identify which car they let me borrow. it was a sliver mercedes. the nicest car i've ever seen.
"sheesh nice ride."
-school-
"well, here goes nothing."
as i walked into the school, i heard a few whistles and hollers, but i could careless. i've always been used to that.
"hey there young lady! you must be the new student, um... deja escobar?"
"that's me" as i let our an awkward laugh.
"well i'll be helping you around today. your first period is mrs. smith's class so i will show you your locker and then to your classroom."
the principal at my old school, was never this nice. ever.
-classroom-
"students! i would like for everyone to meet our newest member, deja escobar."
many boys licked their lips and many girls rolled their eyes. some people didn't even pay attention at all. i hope the whole school isn't like this. they seem like stuck up LA brats.
"um hi everyone," i awkwardly said my hands begin to sweat more and more.
a kind lady walked up to me and pointed to a chair where i could sit. i instantly went to the seat as i wanted all attention off of me.
as i sat down, this one person stood out to me. he sat on the left side of me and he kept looking at me. i decided to say something.
"yo, do you have an eye problem?"
"oh nah, my bad. my name is lucas. nice to meet you" as he placed his hand in front of me to shake.
i continued to stare at him very sternly. his staring gave me butterflies. he is far from ugly. i wouldn't describe him as my type but... he's fine.
but, he seems like a hoe.
- lucas
i never have a hard time with getting any females. half of the time they throw themselves at me. usually i don't feel this way about females but, this new girl... deja. she's fine as hell and there's something about her that i like.
"earth to coly? lucas!"
damn. i blacked out.
"yeah wassup?"
"would you like to leave the classroom to the principles office?"
"nah, im good. i have something i need to pay attention to," i said as i smirked at deja. she rolled her eyes though. she'll come around.
-lunch-
-deja
as i was walking to lunch i was thinking about lucas. he is fine and there's something in hi that i have never sensed before.
as i was practically day dreaming about lucas. this girl walked up to me.
"hey girly!" she said as she handed me a piece of candy.
"oh no i'm okay. thank you though. hey, by the way."
"i'm dominique. but you can just call me domo."
i giggled. "um alright"
"so you're new right?"
i nodded my head nervously.
"are you from LA?"
"no chicago."
"oh okay, well we can be cool. it's not too many people that attend this school who are genuinely welcoming. i'll help you around school too."
"oh okay thank you."
she seems nice.
- domo
deja seems like a pretty cool girl. i'm always the type of person to make someone feel welcome. students at this school do a terrible job at it.
-after school-
- deja
today wasn't so bad at all. I met one friend and discover a fine ass dude, but this whole "fresh start" thing might be a good idea. it's cool being a new atmosphere even though the students here aren't as friendly. it's a nice change.
as i was walking to the car, i heard someone yell my name. sounded like it was coming from a dude.
it was lucas.
i turned around, "do you need anything?"
"yo, you wanna chill later on?"
chilling with a fine someone who i don't know from a can of beans? hell yeah!
"sure i guess, where at?
"wherever you feel comfortable at ma, i know we just met. i don't wanna pressure you. i just know i'm trying to get to know you."
a nigga who cares about my feelings? no way.
"i don't know surprise me. i'll give you my number and we can meet around 6pm, okay?"
"okay cool" as he hands me my phone.
i grabbed his phone and put my number in it. nothing extra. we don't know each other.
- lucas
i know i just met deja. but damn. it's something about her that's getting to me.
"well thank you miss deja for allowing me the opportunity of hanging with you tonight." i took her hand and kissed it softly.
"oh wow, you're a gentleman"
i felt her nervousness as i let her hand go. it's cute.
- deja
i'm not sure if it's just me never being in a healthy relationship or if i've just been running into the most grimiest dude ever? but... lucas? kissing me on my hand? talking to me slow and soft? considering my feelings? lord please help me.
"well i'll see you later on, okay? text me when you decide." i walked while getting into my car.
-back home-
"hey there miss school girl."
"hi zhayla" i chucked because who says that.
"aren't you coming home a lil late, ah?"
"yeah, i was talking to someone after school"
"was the principal giving you a hard time?"
"no babe. i was talking to a friend"
zhayla snapped her head up from her phone. "a friend"
"yes a friend."
"details, hermana"
"well i met him in my first period class. he's cool as he asked to hang out later on, so that's what i'll be doing.
"dang bae! hot dates already?" zhayla runs up to me and slaps my ass.
"zhayla please stop."
"so when are you going?"
"around six."
"well have fun. be safe."
-the meetup-
i decided for lucas to come pick me up. once i got into the car safety. we pulled off.
