We Made It"
Kyle was back.
Suspension over. Hoodie on. Swagger? Unmatched.
He stepped into the school building like it belonged to him — and honestly, after what went down in the hallway that morning, it basically did.
But none of that mattered to Raye.
Because she was sprinting through the corridor like her life depended on it.
"Kyle!"
He barely had time to turn before she launched herself at him, papers in her hand, nearly knocking him into a nearby locker.
He caught her with practiced ease, arms wrapping around her waist. "Whoa, babe. Did you get possessed or something?"
"I passed," she gasped, grinning like a kid with candy. "I passed maths, Kyle. I didn't just pass — I got a freaking B! I passed Simi , Evan was shocked and Jane she is so happy babe "
His eyes widened. Then his whole face lit up like she'd just told him he won the lottery. He spun her around with a grin while she giggled loudly .
"No way."
"Yes way!" she waved the test paper in his face as he slowly put her down , hands still wrapped lazily on her waist "I did it. No crying into my cereal. No lectures from my uncle ...they would be so happy baby , really happy !"
Kyle grabbed her cheeks and kissed her full on the mouth. "I told you ,you could do it."
"You told me I'd barely scrape a C," she said against his lips.
"Okay, I low-balled it," he smirked. "But that's just because I knew you'd blow past expectations."
He turned to the hallway — full of people watching them (again) — and pulled her even closer.
"This girl," he said loud and proud, "is mine. Just in case y'all missed the announcement the first time."
Laughter.
Gasps.
A chorus of fake "aww"s.
And Raye?
She didn't even blush this time. She just grabbed his hand like she was made to hold it.
"Come with me," Kyle said, tugging her down the hallway.
"To where?"
"Basketball court. I got practice."
"What am I doing there , I don't really have practice _".
"Just come with me "
Raye rolled her eyes but kept following him .
"I'm not a ball, you can't dribble me around—"
"True," he said, glancing down at her with that sly little smirk. "But I wouldn't mind bouncing you later."
"KYLE!". She shrieked loudly covering her heated face .
Did he just say that !!!
He laughed and pulled her into the gym.
The rest of the team raised their brows when they walked in. Rod gave a low whistle. Jane was already seated in the stands, giving Raye the world's most exaggerated wink.
Coach raised a brow but decided not to say anything just glare at Raye and Kyle who were late for practice .
Kyle shrugged avoiding his gaze as they both walked further into the court .
Raye rolled her eyes but didn't move from her spot at the edge of the court.
She left Kyle with a huge grin , after a brief simple kiss on the cheek and a smack on the butt_ which thankfully the coach didn't see .
He was busy glaring at a guy who missed a catch again , even if he did notice she doubt Kyle cared about what he would say or do .
Raye walked sheepishly to Jane side who was giggling . Of course she saw the smack , it was a surprise Jane didn't tease her; but she had this smirk on that said she had alot to say later .
She sat, pulled her legs up to her chest, and watched him warm up.
Every pass. Every shot.
Every time he glanced at her and smiled like she was his lucky charm.
And for once, everything just felt...right.
