Thursday
These past 3 days, has been hell. We haven't even gone through a week yet and this project was tearing everyone apart. We were all drained and cranky. Odell and I have been arguing non stop over Kennedy. At this point I would just rather take an F than work with him.
"Man how are you gonna tell me I don't take care of Kennedy?! We do a hand off every day!" He yelled at me.
"That doesn't mean shit Odell. Do you take care of her is the question! When she cries, do you take care of her needs or just let her sit there and cry?!" I shouted back at him. We were really having an argument for the 3rd time today.
"Yes I do sometimes! Damn I can't get no fucking sleep when she's here so sometimes I let her cry! Shit you act like you don't let her cry!"
"Actually I don't! Because I know I have responsibilities to take care of! You know what...Give me her!" I snatched Kennedy out his hand, "I'll take care of her! I'll get this grade my damn self! I don't even wanna work with you anymore!" I got up and got myself together.
"Good! I don't wanna work with you anymore either!" He snapped back harshly. I shook my head and left his room before slamming the door behind me.
I left his house and got into my car. He had some fucking nerves. We all have to pull our weight around here with this baby project. But he doesn't even wanna help. I'll do this shit my damn self and get a separate grade.

I got out my car and walked up to my door with Kennedy in my hand. I unlocked the door and walked in the see Giana sitting on the couch with stuff beside her. My parents were sitting on the opposite couch.
I looked at my parents in confusion, "Why is she here?"
They stood up and walked over to me. My mom grabbed my hands and looked into my eyes, "She wants to talk to you. Listen to her. She already talked to us. We'll be upstairs." She broke it down to me and let go of my hands, holding my dad's. They went upstairs, leaving me with Giana.
I turned to her and sat down on the couch with Kennedy in my lap. I stared at her, shrugging my shoulders.
"So...you wanted to talk?"
She exhaled sharply and nodded, "Yvonnie, you're like a sister to me, and you know I would never ever want to hurt you. I didn't tell you the whole thing was planned because how happy you were. You were laughing and smiling and I was happy for you. If you were in my shoes, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have told me. I'm pretty sure. The point is, I'm really really sorry. I hope you can forgive me." She took something from behind her and handed it to me. It was a big stuffed bear that said "I'm "beary" sorry" with my favorite candy.
I would be lying if I said I didn't miss her. Because I really did. I looked her with a smile slowly creeping on my lips. I got up and took the things from her and gave her a big bear hug.
"I forgive you GiGi. I understand where you were coming from. I missed you so much." I giggled.
We both pulled away and sat down on the same couch. She looked at Kennedy with her eyebrows raised, "So I see you're doing that project. Who's your partner?"
I rolled my eyes, thinking about Odell. "Odell."
"Oh god the irony." She laughed. I shook my head and sighed.
"We were doing fine Monday...but Tuesday that's when things started going downhill. We we're arguing all week but after today, I don't want to work with him anymore."
"What happened?"
"We got into a huge argument over Kennedy. I got mad and snatched her from him and told him I didn't want to work with him anymore. He said good cause he didn't want to work with me either." Just explaining it started to piss me off again.
GiGi put her hands up in surrender, "I'm not in this. I can't afford for you to be mad at me anymore." She joked, making me smile.
"What you doing this weekend?" I asked her. She thought about it for a minute then shrugged and shook her head.
"Nothing."
"Can spend the night tomorrow, and Saturday?" I played with Kennedy plastic hand while I asked GiGi.
"Sure girl. I'll be there after school." I sighed in relief.
"Thanks GiGi."
"No problem Vonnie."

Yvonnie and I have literally been arguing all week. Honestly, we're all drained and tired of this baby project. I didn't really mean it when I said I don't want to work with her anymore. I was mad. I have a lot going on in my life right now. I have football practice, getting ready for this state finals, then the baby project, I'm just stressed out.
"Nigga, how you gon' wanna make things right with her if y'all are arguing and you telling her you don't wanna work with her anymore?" Jarvis barked in my ear.
"I was mad! I still wanna make things right with her! I was actually planning on taking her out to dinner to explain everything but I doubt she'll go now."
"I doubt, I doubt, I doubt, that's all you do! Stop doubting yourself! You don't know what she'll say. Hell, it's free food! You can't go wrong with that!" I chuckled at his comment.
"You right, you right. Thanks Jarvis." I said.
"Yeah you're welcome nigga I gotta go. Bye." And with that he hung up the phone, ending the call.
I'll let her cool off for a while before I ask her anything...
