!! SLOW BURN !! !! FRIENDS TO LOVERS !! Malakai had just recently transferred Hartley High and quickly befriended the popular boys.

You were all in SLTs because of the sex wall that was made by Harper and Amerie — causing everyone to have to do an extra sex education class twice a week. Malakai sat with you, Darren and Quinni in SLTs, mostly speaking to you.

Malakai found you quite endearing and would often try to flirt, but you’d subconciously shut him down because of your huge crush on Anthony Vaughn (Ant).

You had fallen out big time with Darren and Quinni over something stupid so you often found yourself trying to isolate from others, however, Malakai was the only person who attempted to speak to you and make you feel better.

After he taught you to play basketball and you went home, you were met with Quinni in your room. You both ended up arguing and you were extremely upset, and you needed someone to talk to. You needed Malakai.

You ran through the dark streets before reaching his house and knocking on the door. Malakai answered with a confused expression as it was late at night. “Whats up?” Malakai asked.

“Can i come in.. please?” You mumbled, fiddling with your hands.
