I ignore him and block my thoughts of him yet he seems resilient today.

"Come on Mi Amor don't ignore me."
Michael says.

Michael Williams say what now!?

"What did you call me?" I say turning around to look at him.

The nigga has the nerve to smirk.

"Mi Amor what atleast it got your attention."He says while leaning backwards.

Well he does look amazingly handsome today. With his white V-neck shirt and black jeans showing off his light chocolate skin and muscles. Not to mention his hair-

Get ur head back to school and away from distraction.

Ah my dear subconscious is back uomini and donne. Ugh great Michael got Italian in my head.

"What do you want?" I ask him.

"To hang out after all we are in the same classes period 1,3,lunch,4 and 6."

"Wait seriously?"I ask shocked.

"Yup."He says popping the 'p.

Just then Mam Roman Revenge walks in.

-------------------------------------------------------------

As usual morning classes are uneventful unless you count me 'accidentally' pulling a lose thread on Rebecca's top.

It actually disappeared and now she's walking around with her sports bra like her shirt didn't get ruined.

Alexis and I are sitting at our usual lunch table in the Cafeteria and we are having a serious debate.

"Stacie he is old why are you still obsessed with him?"She asks flailing her arms around.

"But you don't understand that he is so cute especially during the Jackson 5 Era,Bad Era, Thriller Era, Off The Wall Era, Dangerous Era, HIStory Era, Invincible Era and let's not forget This Is It Era. He looked amazing during those times . I would totally date him." I say while sighing dreamily.

What he's cute and handsome.

"I'm pretty sure that you just mentioned his entire life." Alexis tells me while looking bored .

"But he never lost it especially in gold pants Mama Katherine certainly created an Angel." I tell her in a daze.

"And with that ladies and gentlemen I book my best friend into a Michael Jackson rehab she needs help. " Alexis says to no one in particular.

"Listen to me Michael is irresistibly hot and dreamy and you ain't changing my mind. "I tell her.

"Well mi amor I never realized you felt that way about me. " The most confusing guy in the world says behind me.

Seriously he picks now to hear our conversation next thing you tell me is that Kevin, Ryan and Ben heard us.

"Damn Ryan and I leave you two for 3 days and you get Stacie and Alexis to agree to date you guys?" The jock of the group Ben says.

KILL ME NOW

Wait how did he know our names?

"Hate to crush your ginormous ego there Mike but I was actually talking about Leoneigh Johnson Jackson's husband Michael Jackson. Not you."I tell him while batting my eyelashes.

"Ooooooooo damn." Kevin, Ben and Ryan say before laughing.

"Also why would we date any of yall?" Alexis asks sweetly.

"Well you see because Michael and Kevin actually-" Ryan starts but gets interrupted.

"Shut Up dipshit." Both of the culprits say at once.

Alexis and I look at each other confused.

"So why are yall of a sudden hanging out with us?" I ask them.

"And why Michael Williams did you stop Stacie from re arranging Rebecca's face when you barely know her?" Alexis asks the unspoken question in my mind.

Seriously a BFF like her goes a long way ladies and gentlemen.

They all share glances with each other and speaking in the most unspoken language in the world. Sign language.

Stacie not the time.

Stupid subconscious I actually meant eye communication.

"Before you answer that one more question how do you know our names?"I ask them.

"One last time why are we referred to as Michael and Kevin's girls?" Alexis asks.

"We are hanging out with you guys because we wanted to. " Ben replies question number 1.

One down 3 to go.

"I did that because I just wanted to help a pretty ragazza out. " Michael replies question 2.

"Huh?" Alexis asks confused.

"He meant girl in Italian. "I clarify.

Did he just call us pretty?

Zip it subconscious not now.

"To answer question 3 well we have our ways and we can't tell you. Sorry ." Kevin replies.

"And to sum this Q&A session up we call yall that because that is what yall are. Unless both of yall want to ditch them for me?" Ryan says wiggling his brows at the end .

Michael and Kevin give him death glares.

"Jeez jk ." He says raising his arms.

And like that lunch ends.

Michael actually grabs my arm and drags me out of the cafeteria.

Sparks I tell you .

When we are seated in Music class as neighbors BTW.

Not that I mind.

Shut up for once.

Anyway like I was telling you We are currently in music class looking at a list of assignments that Mam Pam gave us for our individual and duet performances.

"So class who can tell us the contents of a song structure?" She asks us.

As always this is my favorite class so I knew this off by heart.

"It contains a verse,Chorus, verse 2,chorus,bridge,and closing verse sometimes an intro and outro is included. "I say.

"Correct again Stacie. So today as you can see I gave you all assignments for this semester. You should prepare a solo cover of a song from the 1990's - 1970's. This will count for half of your grades." Mam Pam says.

Michael and Janet I'm coming.

The entire class groaned in displeasure. Well not listening to classic music does this to you.

"And you and your neighbor have to prepare a duet from the same period. It will count for the other half of your grade for the semester. The first assignment due in two weeks is the duet .Get to work. "She concludes.

Michael Sorry but we are doing I just can't stop loving you.

"So do you have an idea on which song to do mi amor?" Michael asks while looking at me.

"I Just Can't Stop Loving You by Michael Jackson ft Siedah Garret from the Bad album of 1987-88."I say looking into his eyes.

"Seriously a love Ballard?" He asks while raising his eyebrow.

"Yes its a sweet song and can I ask you a question?" I ask.

"Sure." He replies.

"Why do you have an Italian accent and keep calling me 'my love'?" I ask with a confused look.

"My dad is Italian."He says while leaning backwards.

And the bell rings.

"Let's work on this duet at my house after-school I'll text you. " He says heading towards the door. But before leaving he does the unexpected.

He kisses me on the cheek and walks out leaving to have one thing on my mind.

What in the hell just happened?
