kiara pov
aliana and i walk into our classroom. she walks to her seat while i hand the teacher our note from the principal. i walk to my seat beside aliana and sit down. i slouch in my seat.

"you ok kiara?" rose asks.

"yea i'm good." i reply. "i'm just—ready to leave."

my phone vibrates in my pocket. i pull it from my pocket and unlock my phone.

mikey- can i come over? i could really use your company
kiara☮︎︎- please i could use yours too
mikey- i'll be there after school

a slight smile appears on my face.

"who you texting?" kate asks from the right of me.

"mikey?" aliana asks from my left.

"if you must know, yes. it's mikey." i reply.

"mikey?" rose asks turning around to face me.

"yea girl. you missed a lot while you were gone." aliana says.

"they together now." kate smiles.

"for real?" rose asks, excitement written all over her face.

"not yet, but soon." i smile.

"yes ma'am!" kate screamed.

"kate! is there something you would like to share with the class?" our teacher, mr. ferrell asks.

"actually, yes." kate smiles at me.

"actually, no." i interrupt.

"please share." mr. ferrell says.

"so my good friend kiara here, is dating someone famous." kate says.

"who is it?" jason asks.

"yea, who is it?" layla says.

"well i can't say. just know, they're gonna pop out very soon."

"you can't even give us a hint?" jason asks.

"if i give you a hint, you'll figure it out immediately." kate says.

"anyway, back to our lesson." mr. ferrell starts.

"don't ever do that again kate." i sigh.

"ok. i won't." she smiles. i roll my eyes and focus back on the lesson.

"you'll be in groups for this assignment. find a group and get started." mr. ferrell says.

aliana, rose, kate and i turn to each other.

"so what happened in the principals office?" rose asks.

"is isaiah ok?" kate asks.

"he's fine. principal torres just explained that violence won't be tolerated at school. blah, blah, blah." i reply rolling my eyes.
