Oakridge High School
WINTER- 2000
Like any other sneaky high school couple you and Amala were hiding out in the schools south auditorium. It was your free period but Amala was skipping her Trigonometry class. It's not like she needed to be in there anyway. Being a junior in high school and taking Trigonometry is unbelievable. Amala is incredibly smart. She just makes really dumb decisions sometimes. Both of you are juniors she just a one year older that you. Her being 17 and you being 16.
Everyone call you the 'it' couple. Both you and Amala were well known around the school. But being in the crowd wasn't y'all's thing.
" Aight so what you think about living in a big ass mansion in Calabasas. With the U-shaped driveway that you always wanted. That Mercedes parked parked in the driveway beside my car. Our 3 kids running around the house and you chasing after them" she looks over at you and you roll your eyes
Amala loves to foreshadow things. That's a good thing though. It always makes you smile. To hear her wanted to plan a future with you makes you ecstatic.
" As amazing as that sounds Amala. How are we going to have all that? Don't get me wrong I would love to have it. And I'm not having three kids" you tell her
She sits ups and take your hand in hers
" Don't worry about all that baby. I really do want you to know that I'm serious. I got you, always. Don't forget that Aight?" She has that look in her eyes
That look that you could never read. Never understand. But that one look in particular didn't sit well with you.
" I won't forget. I promise." She smiles and kisses me. Pulling way from one another she drags her thumb across my bottom lip.
" Soo have you thought about what college you want to go too?" You ask and she sighs. She never really liked having this conversation. Amala didn't plan to go to college. She had her own plans after high school that didn't consist of going to college
" No, I haven't. Y/n I told you that I don't want to go to college. I got everything figured out. " she told you
" What are you going to do, Amala? You're incredibly smart and I don't want all that intelligence that you have go to waste. "
" It's not. I want to have my own business. I won't have to work for nobody. They would work for me. It would bring in a lot of money. While you go off to FAMU and do your thing with nursing like you've always dream I'll be chasing my dreams. Then after you graduate we could do what ever we want." She says
She's really serious about this.
" Okay. I'm trusting you on this now" you tell her
" I won't let you down, baby I promise"
"Mhmm, come on let's go the bell is about to ring in a minute" you tell her and you both get your things and begin walking out the auditorium
———
" I just can't believe we have one more year left. It feels like we just got here" Your Bestfriend Onika says
" I know right. Feels like we were just walking around the halls lost as fuck" you both laugh
There was a knock at the door. The teacher goes to open it. There stood two officers and a K9. Oakridge would have random drug searches every month. Nobody knew when they would come.
Sometimes it would be twice in a month. So if you got caught that's your ass
" Alright everyone I need you to come out in the hallway and stand against the wall." Ms. Wilson told us
We all went out into the hall while one officer and the K9 went into the classroom
The other officer was in charge of checking us. It want too much we had to do just show them we didn't have anything in our pockets and stuff like that.
Once done we went back into the classroom. Not even one minute later
you get a text from Amala
Baby🥰❤️
Meet me in the bathroom ASAP
She better not be trying to do anything. It's like she get horny out of no where
You raised your hand to ask if you could use the restroom. She writes me and pass and you begin walking to the bathroom.
You push the door open and someone snatched you inside
Turing around you see Amala locking the door
" Amala what the hell is wrong with you?" You ask and she turns around with a nervous look on her face
" Baby I need you to do something for me please" she says
" Okay, what is it?"
" Did they have a search today?" She asks
" Yea, I just got checked. What does that have to do with anything? " you asked frowning
She sighs and pulls something out her pocket
"I need you to put this in your bra. "
She held up a small bag of weed
" Amala what the fuck are you doing with that?" You hurriedly grad the bag and stuffed it in your bra
" Look I explain everything to you later. I'll come over to your house. I just need you to hold it for me please." She pleads
" Okay I got you. You don't have anything else do you?" You sigh
" Nah I sold the rest of it. They put it in their car. I did it before school started." She said and you nodded
" Go ahead and get back to class. And text me after" you tell her and she nods
" Thank you baby" she kisses you
" No problem baby"
——-
You were in your room doing homework when you hear something hit your window.
Climbing out of bet walking over to your window. You see Amala standing in your yard throwing little pebbles at your window
"This girl, I swear"
You let your window up and stick your head out
" What are you doing Mala?"
" What? Isn't this what the people do in the movies to be romantic?" She frown and you smile
" Yes baby they do. But please go to the door so I can let you in" you laugh
She drops the pebbles and walks over to the door.
" I was just trying to be cute" she walks in the house
" You were cute baby. I thought that was so romantic" you smile
——
" So how long you have you been dealing" you ask her
Y'all were laying in bed cuddled up together. Her laying in between your legs with her head on your chest. And you rubbing your fingers through her hair
" When I was 15. My parents were having money problems and our house was gonna get taken. I was only suppose to do it for a little but the money started coming in and I kept doing it." She rubs your thigh
" So that's how you got these" you point to the matching chains that's on your neck.
" Yea, and the promise ring too" she says
" I don't like this Mala. But what ever you do to get money and support your family is good. Just be careful okay. Doing stuff like that can get crazy" you tell her
" Don't worry. I will. I lowkey thought you were going to cuss me out when I told you to put the weed in your bra" she laughs
" In the moment I didn't know what to do. I knew I didn't want you to get in trouble though so I did what I had to do" you laugh
" Thank you " she says looking up at you
" It's nothing baby"
" Soo when does your dad get home" she asked
You look over at the clock that's sitting on the night stand
" Umm in about 2 hours" you tell her and she smirks
" No don't even. I'm on my period" you laugh at her face
" Omg" she groans
"You'll be fine. Come on let's watch a movie. " you say
" Aight hold on." She gets up going to turn the light off and grabbing a blanket walking back over to the bed returning to her original position between your legs.
You put on Rush Hour at let the rest of the night take it's course
