MICHAELS POV
The teacher was talking to someone outside the classroom and all I could hear was Marlon's loud ass talking. Eventually the teacher came in with a girl.
Not gon' lie, she was fine as hell. Me and the girl made eye contact for a few seconds before the teacher started her annoyin' ass talking.
"Class, this is Kehlani. She's obviously a new student here, if you want to make her feel welcomed, you can say hello or something after class."
'Kehlani. Hm.' I thought in my head as the teacher told her to sit next to Isabella.
She sat down in the seat next to Isabella, which is no too far from me, and the two started whisperin' to each other as the teacher went on wit' the lesson she was teachin'.
The class went by pretty fast, and the teacher handed us our homework as we left the class. When I walked out of the classroom I spotted my best friends, Amari and Terrence talking right in front of my locker.
"Wassup, Mike." Amari dapped me up.
Terrence nodded and said "Yeah. I saw ha' walkin' wit' Isabella."
That's when Isabella came over to us with her friends, Hailey, Jada, and the new girl. "Hey." she dragged. "Hey." the three of us said at the same time. "Who 'dis?" Amari asked gesturing towards the new girl.
"This is Kehlani. She jus' moved here from Dallas a few weeks ago. Kehlani 'dis is Terrence. Michael and Amari." Isabella pointed at us as she said our names.
"An' don't be tryna flirt, Michael." Hailey said rolling ha' eyes.
"Ion even be doin' all 'dat." I smacked my teeth.
"...sure..." Jada sarcastically said, makin' me smack my teeth again.
"Yeah, she's new and fragile. Ain't no tellin' what yall niggas gon' do to break ha'. Especially you Michael." Isabella added, givin' me the side-eye. Before I could say anything, she continued. "Anyways, say wassup or somethin' Lani. You bein' too quiet."
"Hi. I would introduce myself, but they already did that for me." She shrugged with a little smile in her face.
I didn't say anything and me an' her jus' made eye contact again for a short moment. I noticed she had this sparkle in those brown medium sized eyes of her's. She shyly looked away.
"Anyways, we gotta go to class. We'll see yall later." Jada said and the girls started to walk away.
"You act like we ain't got the same class but okay." Terrence said before her walked away, along wit' me an' Amari.
When I got to the class, Kehlani was talking to the teacher and the other girls were in their seats. Once everyone was in class and seated, the teacher sat Kehlani down next to Amari.
KEHLANI'S POV
I got to my second period class and once everyone was seated, the teacher sat ne down next to Amari, who I just met not too long ago along with Terrence and Michael.
I was taking my notes for the class when Amari started talking to me.
"You wanna know somethin'?" He asked.
"What?" I asked as I kept writing my notes.
"You got a big ass forehead." He said and I straight faced him.
"Okay." I shook my head and he continued. "Isabella look like a burnt cookie. And don't get me started on 'dat ET lookin' ass nigga ova' there." He looked at Michael.
Michael slowly turned his head. "Shut up bitch." He jerked his head forward. I shook my head once again and laughed.
****
It was finally time for lunch and I was sitting at a table with Isabella, Michael, Jada, Hailey, Terrence, and Amari. We all talked and ate and they got to know me more and I also got to know them as well.
I learned that Isabella and Terrence are twins but Isabella doesn't claim him. Amari acts like a crackhead 24/7 so can't nobody take him anywhere. Michael is Marlon's little brother and also doesn't have a good history with girls even though he currently has a girlfriend-
And Terrence, Michael, Marlon, and Amari are apart of a gang called the Superiors. Also, the rival gang, the Alphas, attended the school as well. Isn't that nice.
"Here comes that bitch. " Hailey said rolling her eyes. "Huh-" I was cut off by a female voice. "Hey." She dragged and everyone rolled their eyes as she sat down between me and Michael.
"What the fuck is you doin' ova' here?" Isabella said obviously irritated.
"You 'dat new girl, Kehlani, right?" She asked, ignoring Isabella's question.
"Yeah, but you can call me Lani. What's your name?" I asked. "Summer." She said as she was standing up to leave. "Hm." I smiled.
"I jus' came ova' here to say hi, I'mma go back to my table. It was nice meetin' you." She walked away. "Yeah, you too."
"Thank God she gone." Isabella rolled her eyes.
"Why don't you like her?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows. " 'Cause 'dat hoe messy as fuck."
"How she messy? She seems cool." I said. "Trust me when you get to know her she messy." Isabella said rolling her eyes.
Michael smacked his teeth and said "Dont be like that, she ain't messy"
"Nigga, you jus' sayin' 'dat 'caus eshe yo girlfriend." Isabella squeaked.
"Whatever."
"Anyways, you should come to the ice cream parlor with us after school." Jada said.
"My momma supposed to be picking up after school."
"Don't worry you can ride with me." Isabella said.
"Ok."
****
It's the end of the day and everyone was walking out of class making the halls very crowded.
"Lani!" someone yelled. I turned around and saw Jada walking towards me.
"Isabella said she's waiting for us and that girl ain't patient, so we needa hurry up, before she leave us." she told me
"Ok." We walked outside and walked to a silver Ford SUV and got in.
"Finally. I was gettin' ready to leave yall." Isabella said before starting the car.
"Sorry. I didn't know where to go." I said. "It's ok." After she said that Hailey put on City Girls and we were yelling the lyrics.
"Real ass bitch give a fuck 'bout a nigga. Big Birkin bag hold five six figures. Stripes on my ass so he call this pussy Tigger. Fuckin' on a scammin' ass rich ass nigga." we yelled the lyrics, with the radio on full blast.
I guess the boys were behind us and heard the music because Amari called Isabella's phone.
"If yall don't turn that music down right now I'mma crash into yall on purpose." he said threatingly. "No bitch." Isabella said and hung up the phone, making the music play loudly again.
"So, what'chu think about Harlem so far?" Hailey asked as she reached to turn the radio down. "It's cool. I like it so far." I shrugged then a thought came into my head, so I decided to say the thought out loud.
"What's with that Michael dude?"
"Girl, even though we all in the same friend group as him, you do not wanna fuck with him." Isabella shook her head, still keeping her eyes on the road ahead of her. "When I say that, I mean relationship wise."
I tilted my head, "Why not?"
"Don't let the soft spoken voice, good looks, and charmin' persona fool you, honey. The nigga is a hoe, has been a hoe, and will always be a hoe. We're not speakin' from experience, but we've seen what he's done to these girls." She shook her head before she continued. "As you already know, he has a girlfriend but we all know he cheats on ha'."
"Well then..." I muttered with my eyebrows raised in amusement.
A few minutes later we stopped at the ice cream parlor and got out of the car. The boys got out the same time as us and we all walked in.
"So who payin'?" Terrence asked with a look saying that he's not.
"Mike?" Jada asked and we all look over to Michael, who looked up from his phone when Jada said his name.
"Why I gotta pay?" He scrunched up his face.
"'Cause you got the most money out of all of us." Jada shrugged. Amari and Terrence's jaws dropped and they dramatically gasped. "Now, you know that's cap." Amari smacked his teeth.
"Nigga shut up. You jus' mad 'cause you all ways spendin' alla yo money." Michael said as he grabbed his wallet out of his back pocket.
Once we ordered and got our ice cream we went to go sit at a booth but there wasn't enough room for all of us to sit and the other booths were taken so...
"Ok, someone gon' have to sit on somebody's lap." Isabella suggested."Kehlani, sit on Michael's lap."
"Why?" I exclaimed and my eyes widened.
"Cause ain't nobody else gon' do it."
"Alright." I smacked my teeth.
We sat down and I sat on Michael's lap and he put his hand on my thigh which made me shiver but no too much for him to notice.
We all talked and laughed until Summer came up to us and said
"So why she sittin' on yo lap." she looked at me and Michael.
