August POV
I sat and listened as Mrs. Jamison talked.
Mrs. Jamison - okay class you will have a project. You'll have 2 weeks to do this project.
She began assigning partners.
Chris and Jasmine
Lauren and Quincey
Odell and Tasha
Tasha - hey Odell
Jayla - thot.
August and Jayla.
Yes. Oh my lord thank you.
Jayla POV
Why da teacher paired my baby up with that Thot.
Odell got up and walked over to Tasha. I turned to August.
August - s-s-so are starting on it today.
Jayla - yes. My house right after school.
August - okay
Odell came back and wrapped his around me.
I smiled mentally. I know it's just a project but I don't care.
I pushed my glasses up and continued on my class work.
.............
I walked out of school and down the steps. I walk home. Odell's car passed me and they threw eggs or something at me.
I quickly went home and showered washing all the eggs shells out my hair.
I got out the shower and put on white shirt , jeans , and my white sneakers and a jacket. I don't need it I just cover up my tattoos. Except for the one's on my hands.
I walked to Jayla's house and knocked on the door. She answered.
Aug - uh um hey
I put my hands in my pocket. Why am I so nervous around her?
She let me in.
She walked upstairs and I followed her into her room.
Aug - O-Okay the project about the Civil War and why it was significant.
Jayla - okay. You can sit down. Why are you standing?
I sat down next to her.
She scooted closer pulling my book down from in front of my face.
Jayla POV
What is wrong with this boy? He keeps lifting the book up so I can't see his face.
Jayla - will you stop
Aug - stop what
Jayla - lifting the book up. Talk to me.
We eventually got started on our project.
2 hours later August put his stuff in his book bag.
Aug - okay bye
Jayla - bye August
I let him out. He walked down the street to his house. I closed the door and went upstairs and went to sleep.
