"So what's it gonna take for you to be mine shorty?"

I was currently tryna spit game at one of my classmates turned tutor, Malaysia. She wasn't having none of it though.

"Tyrek, if you don't pass this algebra class, you will be on academic probation. I refuse to date a nigga who can't tell me what's y=mx+b."

"Now Ma, what I'm doing after we graduate this semester ain't got shit to do with variables and that extra shit."

"Yeah, well I want to be a lawyer at the the most prestigious law firm in NYC. Which is why I'm going to go to the most prestigious HBCU on this cheer scholarship, Howard of course."

"Oh you wanna go to college? You smart girl." I licked my lips, rubbing my hands together and leaning my seat back.

"Watch it before you fall! Now, I want you to find X for 2x+3=18"

"Ight, fuck it. I can't get through to ya." I said, lowering my seat and finally focusing, causing her to smile.

"We'll see after your test. I want a B- from you." She smiled at me, leaning in closer, titties first of course, to see if I'm doing the problem right.

"Hey y'all, what's new?" Amos walked in with this fine chocolate bad gal on his arm.

I immediately looked up and dropped my pen, dapping him up. "What's good, A? Who's ya girl?"

"Not my girl, my cousin Royale from St. Louis. She's staying with me and my 'rents for the semester. Family shit."

"Hi." She said sheepishly.

"What's good, babygirl? I'm Tyrek, Amos' best friend since diapers. Our moms work at the same hospital, used to be in the daycare together."

"He's told me about you, Nice to meet you." She held out her hand to shake, and of course I kissed it.

"Aye man, don't even do all that, she like my sis foh." Amos separated us.

"And you have a test tomorrow morning at 3rd period." Malaysia said with an attitude.

"Oh shit, my bad y'all. Aye, let me give Ms. Tutor here my undivided attention, we'll fuck with y'all at the diner after school?"

"Fine by me, I gotta help her get registered anyway. See you bro."

"Be smooth. See ya later, Ma." I smiled at here and she smiled back.

Malaysia was heated, and Amos was quick to shove her down the hall. Hey, I'm an attractive man, but I'm not disrespectful.

"Imma act like I didn't see you undressing her with your eyes and imma help you with this test." She flipped her notebook pages loudly.

I gently grabbed her hand. "Hey Ma, take it easy. After the diner we can go to my place."

"And what?" She smirked.

"It's whatever, I'm with everything." I leaned back in my seat and looked her up and down.

She leaned in closer to me and whispered, "pass this test first, okay?"

I kissed my teeth and sat up straight. "Man, Ight."

"How's the church doing down there?" I opened the door to the registrar's office for her.

"The church is the reason I'm here. My daddy letting all that member talk get to his head, and it's killing mama, so they sent me here. Did you know one of the mother's started a rumor that I was pregnant? I haven't even fucked nobody, let alone had a boyfriend!"
