"So you expect me to be lovey dovey while you in my face saying you like another btch" Morgan yelled.

" First, I'm gone need you to pipe down a couple notches cause yelling at me is what we not gone do. Second, at least I told you. I could have easily went behind your back but, that's not the person I am. I can't help the way I feel."

Picture this. Me and Riona been best friends since grade school up until now and I'm just now seeing how much I like her and how she filled the void in me. She probably don't rock with me like I do with her but, I'm going to keep trying.

" Have fun with your flat of an ass new girlfriend." She scoffed off.

" She got more than you so how that work?" I said to myself. From here things can go either way. I will admit physically Morgan is better looking but Riona is everything and more on the inside. She's not materialistic like Morgan is. She like to have genuine conversations and not self centered like Morgan is. Being the person I am I'm always going to keep it a thousand whether you like it or not. I just have to get it off of my chest.

I walked in the classroom all happy. No particular reason I just was.

" Where are the handouts" one girl said sitting next to me.

" It's on the teacher desk but, you going to have to get it yourself " I teased. That was Morgan. I never really talked to her even though we went to school together for the longest. I can tell she was one of those girls that came from a private school then moved to a public one and think they ran everything. She was just stuck up and bouji.

" I was talking to myself. Nobody asked you" she sad getting loud.

" Who are you talking to you?" I was shook.

" You. Light-skin, wanna be Chris Brown, low-key looking like Master P son, ass" ooooh she was bold. I knew it was going to get personal when she said "light skin". Everybody always hating on the light-skin brothers.

" Pipe down shorty. I'm gone need you to bring things down nothing less than 20 notches for me" I lowkey found that attractive. I don't know if thats weird.

" I'm sorry, I'm just stressed out. My boyfriend just broke up with me and.....". She was going on and on. I really didn't care but, I sat there pretending like I did.

" Good ole 🍆 will make you forget" I  teased just to make her laugh.

" That's sounds good" she smirked at me. I was just playing. I mean. I didn't mean it but we could make arrangements. I could see why some would accuse me of using her but she offered. What kind of guy would I be to turn that down. It's simply no strings attached.

That's one way to get my attention

That's one way to get my attention. Levi notices the smallest things about me. If this is his way of getting my attention then he's doing the job right. That's one thing I hate about myself though. Once some one does a nice gesture I'll completely fall head over heals and be blinded. I did a silent prayer guiding me to make the right decision. My heart is already too fragile.

Thankfully, Cymone came in before I had a chance to get in my feelings. She was big enough to the point she was wobbling but she was the prettiest pregnant lady I ever saw. No exaggeration. Demetri made sure her nails and hair was always done and she was happy.

She eats like a whale

She eats like a whale. One snack after another, to dinner , brunch and breakfast no matter what time. He's been on her, trying to make her eat healthy but, it's not working. She bought a truckload and hid them in my room. I wasn't going to rat her out especially if I got a cut of it but, I did make sure she ate to a minimum. It wasn't too bad.

She didn't even have to ask but, I did her a favor and place a doughnut pillow around her a massaged her scalp with oils. I'm so nice. This is how we start going into deep conversations. Even though the TV was on no one really watched.

" How was your day?" I responded by showing her the messages exchanged between me and Levi. She never told my brothers. Not that I was hiding it from them but, they would always be biased. Being that I knew Levi for so long my brothers did too. They would just give him the eye every once in a while.

" ok girl I seee youuu" she cooed with a mouth full of food.

" I don't know what to think". Literally I haven't had time to reminisce like I  usually do to really think before I act. With track meets and practice mom still expects me to slave around. I'm not even a kid anymore. I haven't lived the life of a child in so long. For some reason I don't tell but, keep it to myself.

"Ok sooo, what do y'all do together ?Like relationship wise."

"Nothing, we were simply best friends" she looked as if she didn't believe.

"No kisses ...nothing?"

"No, I never kissed a guy before, well not on the lips" I pouted at the memory with Jr at the function. She sat and didn't say anything. I was kind of nervous of how she thought of me now. Maybe, I was lame? Too childish and needed to grow up?

"My fault, I'm just in shock. That's hard to believe. As beautiful as you?" She stared in mid air. 

"Beautiful?" I was far from it. Not even if Chris Brown, August Alsina, Trey Songz, Dave East, or Jacques himself just to name a few told me this I wouldn't believe. Picture going through 17 years of life not having one kiss or ever being directly told that your beautiful. Yeah my friends say I look good but never actually directly call me pretty. I told Cymone all of the this. The first person I've ever told something like this to.

" That's nothing to be ashamed of. If anything I wish I was like you. Being pregnant so young my parent don't even talk to me how they use to and my brothers basically look at me as a harlot. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Best believe if you were ugly as soon as you said this I would of slick told you cause I won't lie. Now your brother, Metri...." she just shook her head making me laugh.

" Sike nah, but, just know if you need anything just tell me. I would never lie I promise."

I hugged her from the back and smile for the little inspiration.

" Alright enough of in our feelings pass me the honey buns" flipping through channels. I laughed. Maybe one day I will be confident but today wasn't that day.
