Jahseh stood at his locker, putting his books in his bag. He was officially back at school after his two weeks of suspension. In all honestly, he was somewhat happy to be back. He was able to get out the house and be away from his day for eight hours. Of course he seen his dad again at practice and when he went home.

But, those eight hours of not seeing the man he hated with a passion was fine with him.

"Jahseh!" Blu dragged, pushing past people and walking up to him. He look over at her giving her a small smile.

"Why you all happy?" He asked, shutting his locker. Blu roll her eyes playfully at him as they started walking together.

"Well, I'm sorry I'm not Oscar the grouch and I'm always happy. Plus, I'm happy because I got good news today." She said excited, a small sequel coming out her mouth as she thought about the good news she received earlier.

"And what was the good news?" He asked her, a smile growing on Blu face. She stopped walking and stood in front of Jahseh. Some people mumbling angrily at them stopping in the middle of the hall. Jahseh grab her arm, pulling her to the side and out the way.

"Sorry." She apologized.

"You good, so what's your good news?" He asked again, the same huge smile showing on her face again.

"Okay, my mom told me earlier today that my dad is coming home tonight." She told him.

"Really?" Jahseh asked, she nodded her head still smiling.

"I get to see my dad finally." She exclaimed, Jahseh hearing the excitement in her voice and he was happy for her.

"Well, I'm happy for you. I know you been waiting for this." He said, putting his arm around her shoulder and they began walking again.

"Yes sir, I can't wait to see that bald headed nigga." She joked, chuckling. Jahseh chuckled, shaking his head.

As the two continued walking and talking, Brittney stood at her locker glaring at them. Angel walked up to her, she look back seeing who she was staring at and ended up rolling her eyes.

"Girl, you look weird staring at them." Angel told her best friend, Brittney mugged her then roll her eyes. She look at herself in her locker mirror, taking out her lipgloss and applying it to her lips.

"Last time I checked, I didn't ask for your opinion Angel." She finally spoke, wiping the corner of her mouth. She put her lipgloss away then slam her locker shut.

Angel roll her eyes again, "Whether you asked for it or not, I still told you. Your still obsessing over that boy and showed you he doesn't want you. Your looking stupid." Angel muttered the last part to herself as she walked beside her friend.

Brittney pushed a boy out her way, Angel watching as the boy ended up bumping into someone else. She shook her head, not saying again. Brittney kept pushing people out her way until she reached Mr. Brown class. Conner was about to walk in the class, but she shoved him walking in.

"You can go." Angel told him, letting him walk in before her. He gave her a smile and she returned it, heading in the class.
