"amari and savage" mrs.simone pointed at me. "you guys will be working together for this essay.

i threw my head back and groaned. "i cant work with tatum or billie?" i whined. "i promised if you pair me with one of them we'll do it"

"nope" she shook her head. "you always tell me that, go work with amari"

i grabbed my paper and walked over to her desk. i sat next to her and laid my head down.

amari looked at me and let out a small scoff. "girl if you make me do this shit myself, i'll make sure you won't get any credit" she told me while she wrote on the piece of paper.

"and i don't like you" i grumbled and crossed my arms.

"why's that?" she raised a brow. "because your girlfriend was flirting with me?"

"huh?" i made a face and looked at billie who wasn't doing anything either but on her phone. "what do you mean?"

"the first day i was here and she showed me around, your girl was flirting with me" amari told me.

"she was flirting with you?" i furrowed my brows together.

"yeah" she sighed. "i told her i was straight and shit but then she got upset that i called her out on it... i'm sure she wasn't flirting intentionally"

"what the fuck" i said mostly to myself.

i appreciate her telling me this but why now?

"oh? did she not-" amari looked at me with a 'oh shit' face.

"no" i shook my head. "thank you though... sorry for being a bitch to you. i didn't know..."

"it's fine" amari touched my shoulder. "really"

i moved my shoulder away from her so her hand wasn't on me anymore. "what's this essay about anyway?" i asked her.

"i have no clue" she chuckled.

"bitch same" i snorted. "maybe you aren't so bad twin towers"

"huh?" amari furrowed her eyebrows together.

"oh shit" i covered my mouth and giggled. "you know cause you're tall?"

"well that's a new one" amari laughed. "bitches be calling me giraffe and shit, but twin towers that's funny"

we both started laughing.

"savage" mrs.simone shouted from her desk. "do i have to make you work by yourself? every person i pair you up with, you're all buddy buddy with them"

"no you don't" i smiled at her. "we'll work on this essay"

mrs.simone shook her head and went back to clicking away on her computer.

i took a small glance at billie and she was already staring at me with an irritated expression on her.

why is she mad?

me and amari actually finished the essay. we completed it a few minutes before class ended so now we're just talking about random things.

"can i just say i love your eyes" amari leaned in closer to look at them.

"thank you" i blushed. "i love yours too! they make your freckles pop out"

amari held her hand up to her chest and pouted.

i heard a loud thud behind me and saw billie staring at me, still with an angry expression. i ignored her and kept talking to amari.

she's not that bad honestly. i don't know why i was such a bitch to her the first day...
