The Promises He Made

^Chapter 11^

~Chanelle's p.o.v~

The school day was going by pretty quick. Hakeem wasn't even here today. Just Trey and nem. What I care though? I got a.... Whatever he wanna call it with Deandre in about an a hour. So Im cool on them. I already came to school dressed fine. I mean I always look fine, but today I wanted to switch it up a little. I got a few stank looks but they can all kiss my ass. I was wearing an off the shoulder light blue crop top, with long sleeves, a white hip hugging skirt and some white sandals. My hair was in a neat bun and my bangs were out. I was looking cute! And I have my dance bag in my locker so I can change later. When Tamia and I was walkin this morning I told her about me and Deandres... afternoon. She was pretending to be stank but she's all good. She even tried to put makeup on me. Umm no hunnty. I woke up like this I don't need makeup. The fuvk?

We were in the last minutes of my 8th block class when Deandre texted me.

'I'm outside in the parking lot.' It read. I smiled brightly. I don't know why.

'Aight. I'll be out in a few minutes.' I sent while gathering my stuff.

Ms. Rackins passed out the home work then dismissed us. The girls were all playa hatin cuz they know how Fine Deandre is. Oh well. Not my fault the nigga got a type. Hehe. I'm not being cocky because everybody in my clique is beautiful. But maybe he wanted to talk to me since we already talk. I don't know. I never understood the mind of a fine boy. Prolly never will either.

"So where yall goin?" Sunjai asks. I shrug.

"Umm, I don't know." I respond. I never really thought of it til now. She nods.

"Okay. We'll see you at the doll house." Tamia says. They each hug me before walking off. I hear a horn hunk as a car pulled up to me. I smiled as I saw Deandre. I got in the passenger seat then he pulled off.

"Hey. You look nice." He says hugging me from the side. "Thanks. You don't look bad yourself." I smile.

"You ready to eat, huh?" He smirks. "Boy shut up." I joke. He laughs.

"Hey where's Tiaria?" I ask him.

"She at home. Coolin." He says with out taking his eyes off the road.

"Where Tamia at?" He asks.

"Umm her and the girls went to eat. Then they goin to practice." I explain. He nods.

"You ain't wanna go with them?" He looks at me for a second. "No. I already had plans with you, for our-- Hey what is This?" I ask laughing a little. He looks at me wierdly.

"It's a date." He says as if it were obvious.

"Oh...." I respond a little embarrassed. "So where we going?" I look out my window.

"You'll see." He smiles while passing Wendys. "Okay." I sigh as I lay back in my seat.

~Hakeem's p.o.v~

Man I'm tired as shvt! Yesterday I was texting Lee, my director, all day since we gotta rehearse soon. I couldn't even focus on school. Or what was Chanelles problem. I was gonna talk to her after class but I was on the phone Jussie. Today I had too much to do. I ain't even go to school. I had to get my supply in check. I had to make sure I knew the majority of my lines. And memorize the dance steps, and the rap lyrics.

I been texting Chanelle non stop but she don't wanna answer. It's cool though I'll be at her house later on. I didn't see her too much yesterday since she was at practice. But today I'm stayin over Da'kin house the whole night. So unless she stayin at Tamia or nem house, Im gon see her. I got out the shower just as my phone rang. I walked over to see it Serayah. I smiled as I answered the phone.
