"i don't wanna be here. i dunno, i just have a bad feeling." i mumbled as we walked into school.

"everything's fine, tiny." billie assured softly as she kissed the top of my head.

i didn't say anything in response, instead just letting out a soft sigh.

"bro, move fast! come on! we have to get to first block! it's culinary!" kaiden urged.

it's now second semester, meaning we have new classes. since i've worked my ass off, i get early release, meaning i get to go home after third block now. i could've gotten it last semester, but i was just a few credits away from it.

first block, i've got culinary. then second block i have spanish, and third block i have creative writing. then after third block, i can stay for lunch if i want to, but then after that i have to leave. as if i would stay any longer than i have to.

somehow, me and billie have all three of those classes together.

i'm not complaining.

she has to stay at school for all five classes though, because her grades aren't the best.

we walked inside the classroom. all of the tables were circular. kaiden, lexi, billie, and i all sat at an empty one.

i leaned my head on billie's shoulder. i'm tired as hell and i have a feeling that something bad is gonna happen. billie keeps assuring me that it'll be fine, but i don't know. the feeling won't go away.

billie grabbed my hand and interlaced her fingers. she then brought my hand up to kiss my knuckles before her thumb rubbed small circles on the back of my hand.

"i promise everything will be alright." she murmured.

i looked across the table and my brows furrowed as i saw aidan sitting down. "what are you doing in here? they don't offer this class to freshman."

"it was an option for me," he shrugged. "i'm not about to turn down food."

"hey, you got the right idea." kaiden grinned.

"honestly, i'm not even surprised that you're taking this class." lexi rolled her eyes.

the bell rang, signaling that it was time for class to start. the teacher walked to the front of the room and clapped her hands together. "hello, everybody. i'm mrs. price, and i'll be your teacher for the semester."

"yeah, no shit." someone in the back of the class said.

"damien, i wouldn't be talking. this is the third time you've taken this class. i don't get how you've failed it twice; it's not hard." mrs. price called him out.

the whole class started laughing. damien's face flushed, while jacob parker laughed obviously loud.

how did i get stuck in a class with those two idiots?

"anyways," mrs. price cleared her throat. "since this your first day back, today will be an easy day. i'll be handing out an assignment. all you have to do is list a few interesting facts about yourself."

the class groaned in annoyance. "calm down. all i'm asking is that you write at least one fact about yourself. you don't have to present it or anything."

she passed the papers out. i stared at mine for a moment.

i hate these types of assignments.

"i learned a new word today." billie told me as we exited our spanish class.

"yeah? what word is it, baby?" i raised a brow.

"puta. it means bitch!" she laughed.

"of course that's the first word you learn." i snorted as we walked to our creative writing class.

we entered the class and found some seats near the back. we talked a bit as we waited for class to start.

"i'm mr. turner, and i'll be your creative writing teacher," the teacher introduced himself. "for your first assignment, i want you to write a page, front and back, on what you did over the holiday break. i want it to be in detail. you're in high school; make it seem like it." he explained as he passed out pieces of notebook paper.

"this class is already ass." billie complained.

"agreed." i nodded.

we started writing. i guess it was easy enough. i mean, i did do a lot over the break.

after about ten or so minutes, i looked over to see what billie was writing. my face flushed as i read it.

"billie!" i whisper yelled. "you can't put that!"

"put what?" she gave me a dumbfounded look.

"'i fucked my girlfriend hella.' i mean, come on, billie. why would you think that's okay for a school paper?"

"i thought it was fine." she grumbled as flipped her pencil so that she could erase it.

"where are you going, tiny?" billie raised an eyebrow.

"i'm going to go sit with everybody else," i explained. "i'm not hungry."

it's now lunch. i still have that bad feeling from earlier. it won't go away. luckily though, after lunch, i can go back home.

"oh, alright," she nodded before giving me a quick, but sweet kiss. "i'm gonna go get me some chips real quick, and then i'll be over there, okay?"

"alright." i nodded with a small smile.

i walked over to our usual table. i sat beside kaiden and left a seat open for billie. he asked where she was, so i told him that she was just getting some chips.

i laid my head in my arms on the table, mainly just listening to everybody else talk.

"i like your hair; it looks really good." jaelyn complimented.

"thank you." i smiled.

"yeah, i like it too," jah nodded. "it suits you."

i thanked him as well. as i was, billie came back over with a bag of takis. she sat down, then pulled me into her lap. she wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her chin over my shoulder.

"you good, mama?" she questioned softly. "you still got that bad feeling? how about this; after lunch, we can go back to my place and just cuddle, since it's my free period. how does that sound?"

"yeah, i'd like that," i nodded before kissing her cheek. "thank you, bubba. i love you."

"of course," she smiled cutely. "i love you too."

we sat there and talked for a bit while she ate her takis. eventually, i stood up. "i'm gonna go use the restroom real quick, i'll be right back."

"alright," she nodded. "then after that, we can leave."

i agreed with that before walking off to the bathroom. i walked inside, then stopped in my tracks. i felt my breath get caught in my throat as i saw who it was.

"did you miss me, addy?"
