It had been about a week when Emma opened the dorm room and saw Millie studying.
"Your back!" Millie jumped up and ran to hug her. "Hey." Emma hugged back. "Where the hell have you been?!" Millie asked. "I went to New York, I needed to spend some time with my family. I just wanted to apologize, I understand we have opposite cultures and I should have respected that." Emma explained. "It's fine, i'm just glad your okay. Also Courtney has been worried sick about you." She smiled. "Oh yeah! I'll be back later." She dropped her travel bag and stormed off.
Millie looked in her hand mirror and reapplied her lipgloss and messy bun. She put on her low bottom converses and grabbed her phone then started walking to the gym. She sat on the second level closer to the wall and began looking on her phone as she watched Caleb practice before the game. She looked up and saw him looking at her and they both smiled. She looked back when she got the notification.

"15 Weeks 🤰🏽" "OMG! So happy for you; baby looks adorable."
Millie was happy for her friend, life seemed to be going at a steady pace. Millie was good with her classes and found someone she really liked. Courtney found a girlfriend. Daria had a boyfriend and a baby on the way. And also a new friend Ryan that she sees from time to time.
Midway through the game Emma slipped through and sat next to Millie.
"Hey basketball wife." Emma chuckled. "Heh, never." Millie kept watching the game. "It was just a joke.." Emma was confused. "Yeah sorry, I know. I just kinda have a thing with the term "... Wife" as if we have no other wants in life." Millie explained. "okay? how's the game going." Emma looked at the score board. "58-22, so pretty good, i'm trying to learn this so we have more things in common. I think Cassidy just made a layup!" Millie smiled. "Yup, i think so. I'm really happy for you but when is he gonna make it official?" Emma asked. "You don't think it's a bit soon? We only met a few months ago." Millie asked. "No! You already kiss and everything else. I mean, look at me and Courtney. We been like this for only a few weeks and we're together." "About that... we haven't had sex." Millie told her. "Deadass? Wow." "Should we have been? Is that bad?" Millie got concerned. "I mean.. we're older now it should have happened but you'll go at your own pace." Emma smiled.
For the rest of the game Millie was kind of stressed, weather their relationship was going at the right speed and if they should be doing "grown up" things now. Eventually, the game ended. Millie quickly rushed out and headed to dorms. She changed into some shorts and a tank top and sat on her bed while she got the notification.
CALEB💙: "Hey.. why'd you leave? i wanted to see you" "Sorry; something came up." "Ok.." Millie put her phone on her side table and quickly fell asleep.
THE NEXT DAY

Millie walked out the dorms at 8:30 AM in her new "Babygirl" sweat matching set, & had her backpack wrapped around her shoulder. She walked to class while looking at Snapchat stories. As she walked into the building she felt the warm air against her skin and face. The halls were filled with a bunch of students miserable having to do another day at College. But not Millie, she wanted to do something with her life. Have goals and aspirations, that's what she's here for in the first place. Right?
The door was left open as she walked into Mrs. Patterson's class.
Millie got to her desk in the front of the class and looked on the board. Time to get started with her writing prompt.
As the class ended and Millie walked out she forgot about how Caleb used to walk with her. And there he was right there.
"Hey, you okay? Acting weird lately." He walked with her. "Just something's on my mind , that's all." She didn't make eye contact. "This way." He pulled her arm into the back door of the building.

There was a small garden area with a table & chair. It was beautiful. She sat gracefully still looking at the e scenery.
"Look! I'm not going through this again. we're making this thorough and saying what's wrong." He insisted. "I don't.." Millie started saying. "Just tell me please, i wanna fix this." He explained. "Fine. I don't know what this is! We kiss and then we hug but never put a label on it. I feel like we're just friends with benefits and that's not even the case because we don't do anything more." Millie said. "It's not the time Millie, we have to know each other longer and do more thing together. Why do you feel like this now all the sudden?" He asked. "Emma, she said her and Courtney are doing basically 2x what we do and they hopped right into a relationship." Millie said. "We have our own timing, we're clearly not like Emma or Court. And neither of us had a issue with it before this. We're fine okay?" He gave her a hug. "Okay." She smiled as she grasped against his back smelling his scented cologne.
