“Exactly, so don’t let the compliment go to your head.”

“I make no promises.”

I smiled as the light turned green.

“So, what’s up?”

“I’m just checking on you. How was the first week back as a senior?”

I sighed dramatically.

“It was alright. My teachers are already talking about scholarships, graduation, and college applications. They’re trying to rush my life.”

“You’ll thank ‘em later,” MJ said with a laugh.

“I better.”

I changed lanes before glancing at the GPS screen.

“What about you? How’s college treating you?”

“It’s cool.”

His response was dry as hell.

“Just cool?”

There was a brief pause.

“It’s actually better than I thought it’d be.”

“I told you.”

“You did.”

There was a little moment of silence. I was glad that he was actually liking school. I didn’t know if he would really get into it, but he did.

“Lemme ask you something,” he quickly said.

I smiled.

“Uh-oh.”

“What?” he questioned.

“Every time you start a sentence like that, it’s about to be some mess.”

“It ain’t no mess.”

“MJ…” I dragged.

“I’m serious.”

“Aight, then what’s your question?”

“You think opposites really attract?”

A grin immediately spread across my face.
