"Damn. Is it Christmas already?" Onika joked, surveying the room full of boxes of designer clothes and handbags. Lauren had even gotten jewelry.
"More like a regular Friday." Cassie returned. "Lo, who's your fetus friend?"
Onika made a face.
"This...

"A single-celled organism too small to be—"
"Microbe." Onika interjected.
Meek nodded slightly. "Very good." He flipped to the next flash card in the thick stack. "One of the most drug resis—"
"Staphylococcus."
"Do you even need me to read these?" He frowned, shuffling the cards.
"Yes." She pleaded. "I messed up on like six of them and I have to know this. I can't be blinded sided like I was earlier."
"You have an 89.7% in the class already. You pretty much know everything."
"Meek.." Onika groaned, knowing where this was headed.
"You studied all weekend," He listed, kissing her neck. "I helped you study again last night, and we've been at this for almost two hours. You got this."

Meek was persistent. "C's get degrees?" Onika slugged him. "Ow. Damn. I don't know how you could be getting anything less than an A anyway. You go through all the material with a fine toothed comb. I think you're just second guessing it too much. Psyching yourself out."
"You just wanna have sex."

There was so much riding on her senior year. If all went well she'd have a job handed to her the moment crossed the stage. Onika would finally be able to take care of her mother the way she'd wanted to her whole life.
"Tell you what," Meek began. "We go through these again, even the definitions, and if you get an answer right I take something off."
