Idk how college works and I don't want to look it up sorry 😐

I walk in the office. "Good morning."

"Good morning." I sat down. "Devine right?"

"Mh."

"Okay so you wanna go back to school?"

"Yeah. I notified you guys before I left though."

"Okay good I'm glad you did. I have your excuse here."

"Okay."

"So, first how did you get in this school?"

"Scholarships."

"Really. How?"

"Um well, after I had my first kid I started doing things to prepare myself for college and then my senior year I was in any academic club, competition or whatever I could. I got a scholarship by my winnings and other things getting you guy's attention."

"How much was your scholarship?"

"Ten thousand dollars."

"Wow, that's so good."

"Yeah and this is my dream school. I kinda wanna be out soon."

"That's gonna be a problem for you "

"What do you mean?"

"Okay, well you wanna be a counselor, it takes more school and I think two years of a teacher intern thing, section thing including school itself."

"Damn. I remember hearing about something like that but...I didn't realize it."

"Yeah so once you do your four years here that's what you should do next, I'm sure you were already supposed to."

"I don't know if I wanna do this. When will I be able to come back?"

"We should have you back in by Monday."

"Okay. I'll be back. I need to figure out if I wanna do this."

"Okay take your time. Make sure you call me specifically if you have any questions."

"Okay thanks." I sigh and walk out. "What happened girl?"

"I gotta do other shit before I can become a counselor. I need teaching experience."

"How much?"

"Two years." She stood up and I grabbed Josh. "You doing it?"

"I don't know. It's too much work and I've been flying past college it feels like but now this."

"Well you won't be alone will you?"

"I'll just be a assistant but I'm sure I'll be like involved a lot too."

"Well yeah."

"I'ma think over this."

Two years later?

For two years, I've avoided relationships, new friends, my past and everything basically except for my kids and Layla. I made sure school, work, and my family were the only thing I focused on. Now that I've graduated fully I feel relaxed like I can take a break until I wanna get a job, a counselor job because my little dancing job is not getting me what it should. I'm not a stripper. Anyways, I think I should try dating again. I'm not in school. I don't really have to work. So while I take a break,I could probably try dating someone. I've turned down a lot of men these past months and year. Including Curtis bum ass but I did it because of our past not only because I wasn't dating. Also I think it's good to have my girls be a little older before I try dating again cause they're much more mature now and so smart. I would be hella disappointed if one of them ends up pregnant before twenty-five. I think because my mom wasn't close to me I didn't know what to do or how to act so I just did whatever I wanted. My dad was barely around but he was the same when he was. Anyways. I'm not getting into them.

"Miss girl you had no reason to call me here."

"I called you to help me dumbass."

"But what the fuck are you doing? You didn't tell me anything when I got here."

"Whatever, I'm putting my college stuff in these boxes and I need you to take them downstairs to the basement."

"Why you got all this shit?"

"Six years of school girl. Now come on."

"Fine." She grabbed a box. I need to do this cause my room is crowded with everything in college. I'm glad I'm done with it. She came back. "Here I have two more and then I'm done."

"Alright." Someone rang the doorbell. "I'll get it just go downstairs." We both went down. I open the door. He had that child with him. He waved. "Hi cutie."

"Hewwo." He is so cute. Looks just like Curtis. He cleared his throat. "Hey."

"Hello."

"Uh. I've missed you...I know you've turned me down like five times already but you never gave me a chance to talk."

"Why do you need that?"

"Can I come in? Are your kids here?"

"What do you want?"

"I'm sorry for how I acted. I'm better now though. I started a job at the daycare my son goes to."

"So?"

"So, I'm better with kids, I have my son full-time. I'm not that selfish guy I was two years ago."

"It's been two years, why haven't you moved on from me?"

"I love you and I miss you. I really want you back."

"Girl ew. Why you open the door?"

"I just wanna explain myself and apologize."

"Curtis... you lied about not having a kid you made me think my best friend was crazy and you basically said that you wanted nothing to do with your kid and my kids and our kid if we had one."

"Okay but that was forever ago. I changed. I'm different I promise."

"I'll think about it." I look at the little boy. "Bye handsome." He smiled and hid behind Curtis. "Okay. I'll be back."

"If you come back to my house I will get a restraining order. I'll call you.".

"Okay..." The little boy waved at me before they left. He's adorable. "Girl don't tell me you actually thinking about getting back with him."

"I miss him. What if he really changed?"

"Does it matter?"

"Yeah because if he changed then I wouldn't have a reason to hate him."

"Girl I think you should move on. Curtis is still a mystery to you. The baby was one thing but his other stuff is another."

"Let me think about it."
