Opposites Attract

The Morning After

                                                                                        Malia's POV:

I woke up to a notification. It's from Instagram. I wonder if Zara followed me back. I look on my phone to see @znationtakeover followed me back. Oh he did!  I got another, @znationtakeover liked your photo. I chuckled when I saw which one he liked. I forgot I even had that up there. I went to his profile. He didn't really post anything just his drawings and nature pics. Cool. I got out of bed and the first thing I saw was my messy hair in the mirror. I took my spray bottle and spray my misture of leave in and water into my hair, I then took my silicone bristle brush and brush through my hair, watching as my my curls bounced back, I put a curl sealer in my hair and rub it through my hair. I then took my diffuser and let my hair dry.

I stared at my closet, figuring what outfit to wear. I settled on a long flowy white skirt and a tight black top. I stacked three necklaces and put on some bangles. I loved accessories. When my hair was fully dry, I put it in a half up half down. I threw on my bape jacket and grabbed my black loafers then head downstairs. "HI dad!" I say walking into the living room "Hey babygirl. How much do you need today?" He asked, lighting a blunt while watching TV. "Uhh.. I don't know. It's a regular day today, me and the gang might hit up the mall, maybe the movies" I say. "Alright, alright." He says, "Here's 300. Let me know what you spend it on" he hands me the money. "Yes, dad" I say, grabbing my bag and heading out the door. It was early so I made my way to Laur's house. I text Zara if he wants to take the bus to school with us.

                                                                                    Zara's POV:

I never went to sleep.. I stayed on my phone all night scrolling through Malia's page for half the time. I jumped when I got a notification from her.

@maliamayhem to you

Nice to know you've been on my page. I know it's early but when it's time, would you like to take the way to school with us? Since we take the same bus. Izeikeil can come too if he doesn't mind. :)

I smiled at her generosity, then face palmed my self realizing she saw my like her picture. I texted her back

You to @maliamayhem 

 Uh yea, sorry it was an accident. You looked good though, trust me. Also, yeah, we can tag along with you guys. Is it cool if we meet by the bus stop

@maliamayhem liked your message.

I blushed.

When I finished getting ready I walked down the stairs to leave the house, my mom's shift had her working right now. I tried not to disobey her by grabbing a pop tart to eat for breakfast. I opened my door to see Malia and Izeikeil. I was shocked that she was outside my house. She ran up to me and hugged me and I stiffened. "Hey" she said while Izeikeil winks at me. "Sorry for spooking you" she laughs as she rubs her hands up and down my arms, trying to loosen me up.

 "Lauren and Jacob were busy making out and I got bored and saw Izeikeil, so I asked where he was going and.. well y'know" she said, me barley making anything out. "Oh.. cool!" I said she took my hand in hers and I shivered. Her hair was so cute, her outfit was so cute, everything about her is just so cute. When we arrived at the bus stop to see Jacob and Lauren all on each other "ugh! I was gone for ten minutes and you guys are still at it? Cut it outt" Malia said, annoyed. "Oh please! Malia, when you get that special someone, you're worse" Lauren said laughing. "In fact.." she trailed off turning to me, our hands still intertwined. "Saw it coming" Jacob said, his arm around Lauren. Malia's hand dropped to her side. "Guys.. no." She said sternly. I looked down, awkwardly. Of course. You're just a friend to her. 

The bus came and we got on. We all headed to the back. Izeikeil sat in a solo chair and of course Lauren sat with Jacob. I sat down and Malia sat next to me. "Hey. I'm sorry for what just happened. I don't know if you noticed but Lauren has a really good impression on you.. and Jacob.. well he.." she says laughing." "That's cool. I know it must take some time getting used to adding new members to your group." I said. She placed her hand on my knee, leaning in and I couldn't help but try to adjust my pants. "Hey.. you don't have to worry about that. They'll get used to it, promise."
