After standing in my dining room for a good minute, I grab my backpack walking towards my room.

I get my phone out of my backpack and I take a picture of myself.

Chino Hills, California

Just now

got me over here smiling like a weirdo

I turn off my phone and I turn on my Xbox logging into my account.

I decide on playing my Sims 4 game because none of my friends are online.

I make a new sim and I play as her for a while.

Once the sims gets boring, I open my drawer and I take out my blue and white journal.

The word 'Love' is printed on the front in gold lettering.

I open up the journal and I smile to myself.

I see the lyrics to my old song and I read them to myself.

"Daya wants to sing so that's what Daya's gonna do!"

I go to YouTube on my Xbox and I go to Smule Karaoke.

I click on the track with the beat to my song and I start singing.

The next day I get ready for school.

I decide on wearing a black shirt and black jeans with some black and yellow Jordan 1 Retros.

Grabbing my phone, I play music.

I curl my hair and I put my hair up in a half up half down hairstyle.

I open my makeup bag and I grab my foundation.

After grabbing my foundation sponge, I apply the foundation and concealer.

I look at myself in the mirror and I let out a frustrated groan.

"Daya! We've gotta get going!" I hear my mom yell.

"Fuck!" I exclaim while quickly putting on eyeshadow and the rest of my makeup.

I hate when I have to rush on my makeup because it comes out looking bad!

"Zendaya Love, lets go!" My mom yells again.

She calls me by my full name so I know I'm in trouble.

"Give me a minute!" I yell back.

I grab makeup wipes, just in case I need them, and my backpack running down the stairs.

"Okay, I'm ready!"

We make it to my school and I get there pretty early.

"Have a good day at school!" My mom says as I hop out of the car.

"Thanks, have a good day at work!"

I close the car door and then I start walking towards the gate.

"HI LAMELO!"

I slowly turn around and I see LaMelo passing my moms car.

"Hey Mama D!" LaMelo states while smiling at my mom.

I keep walking towards the gate hoping to get away without being seen by LaMelo.

It would be so embarrassing to see him right now, I think to myself. I do not want it to be awkward...

"DAYA, YOU FORGOT YOUR PHONE!" my mom yells while honking her horn.

Damn it...

I put my head down walking to my moms car.

My mom holds my phone out the window, and I grab it.

"Thanks," I mumble.

My mom drives off.

LaMelo is looking at me, I can feel his eyes on me.

I look up and we make eye contact.

Before I can stop myself, I speak to him.

"Hey buddy!"

Seriously Daya, buddy?

LaMelo blushes.

"Hey,"

"LaMe-" I start to say but I get cut off by LaMelo.

"I'm sorry, I've got to go talk to my teacher before class starts!"

With that LaMelo speeds away from me.
