Hazell's Pov

I had just finished getting in my extra practice in and I wasn't happy after completing my workout. Usually the gym is completely empty which is a blessing considering I don't like when others are there. Reason being is it just some way completely makes me nervous like they are watching me. To make matters worse of all people Melo was in the gym. He didn't even have proper gym etiquette walking around here shirtless. I made sure to be on the opposite side of the gym while working out to avoid any unwanted gossip.

I have been in the gym for the past 30 mins with Hazel and I haven't had the chance to talk to her yet. She is actually making it extra hard considering she is on the opposite side of the gym not paying me any attention. I'd figure I'll just talk to her when she's done working out. After about anther 20 mins I seen her start to put the gym mat she was done using its designated area. She went to go grab a wipes and I thought it was my time to shine. I quickly made my way to the wipes as well so we could be there at the same time. For the first time since we've been in the gym she made eye contact with me. I gave her a small smile and nodded my head. " Hey Hazel how you been" I said grabbing my wipe after her. She returned a small smile as well slid one of her earphones off her ear with Armed N Dangerous by Pop Smoke blaring out her earphones. " I'm sorry?..my music was playing." she said. "oh nah I was just asking how you've been...? She looked at me and gave me another small smile." I can't complain and you..?" she asked. "I'm good." I said. Immediately after my response she nodded and retreated to wipe down the gym mat she used and proceeded to wipe it down. I sighed in defeat. I took my wipe and brought it over to the bar I was using to press and proceeded to wipe the bar. I waited until she was entirely finished and decided to head out the gym as the same time.

I quickly wiped down the mat I was using after the lil encounter that I had with Melo. I then threw out the wipe and gathered my stuff as I start to make my way to head out I hear a pair of feet trailing behind me. I then turned around to see Melo catching up with me. This time he had his shirt on which I greatly appreciated. "Any you doing anything after this...?" he called after me. I looked at him briefly and nodded." Yea...homework..." I said uninterested. "Well you trying to kick it after you finished?" I sometimes get thrown off by the male language. Their terminology seems to be significantly different from women. For example... a woman might perceive "kick it" as just literally hanging out watching tv or just chatting. But by the way Melo carries himself and him actually being a guy "kick it" can mean a whole lot of things. I didn't have the time to think what his ball park meant. I immediately shut down his idea." Na I got mad work to do...sorry..." I said looking at him while walking away. He just nodded and we went our separate ways.

"GIRL SO THIS NIGGA ASKED YOU TO HANG OUT AND YOU SAID NO?!?!?"GeNae screamed through the phone." Yep." I said so simply."Girl whyyyyyyy?" she whined. "Because I don't care to "hang" out with him..." I explained honestly. I was just focused on getting where I wanted to be in life and I didn't care to entertaining anything that would potentially distract me. GeNae later changed the subject to her history teacher which she swore he had an grudge against her. "That old ass lady is not worried about you GeNae." I said. "Girl that bitch is on the brink of death and is always down my throat." She said annoyed. "Well maybe cause you are always on your phone girl..."GeNae continued to rant about her teacher. While she did that I proceeded to finish my homework.

"So shawty really dubbed your shit?" Lonzo asked as we played call of duty. "Yea." I said defeated. "Well my way of thinking is she is either playing had to get or she's really just not into you." He said. "Well your way of thinking is trash." I responded while shrugging. "Ayy why don't you just try to befriend her? " He questioned. I thought about what he said and it didn't sound bad. After all I could see if she was playing hard to get. We had an upcoming test coming soon and I saw this as a perfect opportunity to contact her because it would be school related.

I'M BACKKKKK hey y'all it's been more than a min I missed y'all but I'm officially back. I didn't proof read but if I messed up please write edit. I only wrote a baby filler because I don't know if y'all still here which I don't blame y'all. But I got a laptop again so that was my main problem. The other was severe writers block I didn't know how I wanted to spin the story but now I do... kinda. But if y'all do want more let me know by commenting and vote... thank you.
