The rest of the ride they just talked, Mo'Nae talked about who she talked to the night before and what happened after they left the BBQ spot. The bus finally got to the school. When they stepped off Mo'Nae walked up to her boo who's name is Lamar. Shanelle stopped to put on her lip gloss when someone bumped her, she turned around ready to get smart when she realized it was Myrie. Her face insantly turned soft and a smile emerged.
"I seen that, you were about to go off on me, huh?" he asked and Shanelle giggled a little.
"You must really want to talk to me huh", Shanelle said evading the question.
"I ain't saying I don't" was Myrie's come back. Shanelle seen people staring at the two of them.
"You're kind of new here and seeing you with me might give these people ideas", Shanelle said while walking away, but Myrie still followed.
"So, that means you walk away and what's wrong with ideas?" Myrie said catching up to Shanelle. "What you got a boyfriend or something?" Myrie question. Shanelle stopped and turned to look at Myrie.
"Actually as of yesterday, I am officially single and nothings wrong with ideas it's the wrong ideas that get people in trouble", she smiled.
"Okay I feel that, so you single", Myrie said stepping closer.
"Yeah and I think I should keep it that way for a while"
