"Yall be fuckin?" Jahmir asked the young couple, making Cassandra blush and stick her head in Bryson's neck.
"Nigga" kahlil said.
Jahmir watched Cassandra sat on Bryson's lap, letting out laughs and smiled brightly as Bryson whispered in her ear. He had never seen his friend this infatuated with a person before, he was happy to see it.
"Yall definitely be fuckin" he said nodding his head, sure of his statement.
"We don't" Bryson mumbles making kahlil and jahmir smack their lips.
"yall niggas do be fuckin" kahlil said.
"Mhm being all grown and shit" jahmir agreeing with his friend, "yall to happy to not be fuckin"
"How you know—you never been in a non-fucking relationship before" Bryson said.
"Nigga not too much" jahmir said rolling his eyes.
"Not too much? Nigga that's female shit ta' say" kahlil said laughing.
"Man my girl got my saying that dumb shit"
"You have a girlfriend?!?" Cassandra asked.
"You gotta girlfriend?" Bryson mumbled.
"Girlfriend?" Kahlil said.
The three stated at the same time, making jahmir smack his teeth and mugged them.
"Yes bitch I gotta girlfriend" he said punching kahlil, "yall niggas not shit—how dare you think im not capable of being in a relationship" he ranted.
"Cause you not bitch—and don't touch me" kahlil said bucking at jahmir.
"Nigga I'm not scared of yo' half-breed ass"
"I hate you" kahlil said grabbing his keys and standing up, "I'll fuck with yall later" he said to the couple. Then he turned to jahmir, "I hope that hoe burn all yo shit"
"You always breaking a black man down—mm that's that cracker in you" jahmir said shaking his head. He turned towards Cassandra and Bryson, seeing them kissing.
"Yall nigga's-nevermind ima just go" he cut himself off, walking out of Bryson's apartment.

"Mommy, I'm back!" Cassandra yelled as soon as she got in the house.
"Ma?" She said confused not seeing her mother anywhere.
"In here baby" she heard her mother yelled. She began walking to the living room.
"Hey mommy" she smiled hugging her mother.
"Hey, how was your weekend?"
"Good—we were decorating his apartment and then we cooked something I found on TikTok"
"He treating my baby right?" Janae asked.
Cassandra rolled her eyes before responding, "yes"
"Are you having sex Cassandra?" Janae asked making Cassandra's heart stop.
"Why?"
"Because if you are I just want you to be safe and aware of the consequences if you aren't"
"I know about the consequences mom—and when we actually do it, we will be safe" she told her mother.
"I just don't want you to be eighteen and pregnant like I was"
"I won't" Cassandra raised her voice slight, over the conversation.
"Watch you tone when you are speaking to me—I am just making sure you do not make the same mistakes I did"
"You keep saying this 'mistake' thing like you regret me—am I a mistake?"
"Yes you were a mistake, of course you were—I didn't plan on getting knocked up at eighteen and struggling to give you everything when i didn't have anything"
"Well I'm sorry that I made your life so difficult mom—but I didn't ask to be here, you wanted me here, with you. So can you please stop trying to make me feel so bad about existing" Cassandra said making her mother feel bad.
"Cassandra I didn't mean for you to feel bad—I love you and I am glad that you're here with me but I'm just looking out for you" Janae said hugging her daughter.
Cassandra sighed, "I'm sorry I raised my voice, I was getting upset"
"It's okay baby" Janae said rubbing her back. Desmond walked past the living room seeing them hugging eachother.
"Somebody die?"

"Are you ready to present tomorrow?" Cassandra asked Bryson, playing bloxburg as she was on FaceTime with him.
"No" he mumbled.
"Why, I think we did good we definitely are getting an A plus"
"I don't like to talk" he reminded her.
" you've gotten better" she said.
"I only talk to you"
"We can ask her to present in private? Like after school?"
"Yea" he mumbled.
"Okay I'll email her really quick"
"I got some more offers" he said out of nowhere.
"That's good baby, I'm so proud of you" she stated softly before continuing, "you deserve every one of those offers and I hope- no I know that you'll get more." She said making him slightly smile.
Bryson bit his lip looking at his girlfriend. She was so beautiful to him, in every way. He liked that she didn't try to hard to get his attention, he liked that she didn't wear any makeup on and day to day basis, he loved the way she dressed, she dressed like herself and the things she was comfortable in.
He didn't know if they would be together for the rest of their lives but he wanted to be so bad. He wanted to go to college with her, move in together, get married to her, and they would both have successful careers together. But he didn't know if that was going to happen.
"Bryson?!" The girl yelled snapping Bryson out of his thoughts.
"Hmm?" He said.
"I said, she emailed me back and said we can't present in private, we have to do it in front of the class"
Bryson smacked his lips, irritated by his teacher. Sure he was getting better with talking...but only with Cassandra. The thought of him standing in front of the whole class made his heart race.
Cassandra could tell that, presenting in front of the class was bothering him. she frowned seeing him anxious. She liked Bryson a lot and didn't want anything bad happening to him.
"I'm sorry baby but you don't have to say much" she reassured.
He didn't know how to respond to her statement, so he didn't. The two eventually went to sleep.
