"SO...you really think you're ready to teach?"
"Like really ready?"
"Yes, Lola. I'm ready" I replied, head down in my journal.
"Okay.....and you know you're gonna be like one of thee hottest art teachers there right? You do know that right?"
I chuckle slowly while shaking my head.
"And it's some fine ass students at California U"
"Ugh. Really?" I made a face as I glanced up at my cousin.
"What?" Her big brown eyes widened.
"It is. When me and Jema went to go get her cousin a few weeks ago, I was like damn. I saw a nice lil group of fine ass dudes walking out"
"Girl. You almost thirty...one" I reminded her, to which she made a face.
"Hey, they over 18 so...." She trailed.
"But anyway. Wassup wit Elijah?"
I suddenly felt the small surge of positive energy I did have, now fade off.
"Nothin"
Lola snorted at my dry tone.
"What his ass do now?" She questioned, taking a big bite out of the large chocolate strawberry she held in her hands.
"Nothin" I paused.
"Okay....so is he signing off on shit or what?" She fished next.
"No"
"What?"
"He sent me some shit in the mail talking about an error on the split of assets" I explained.
Confusion now filled Lola's face.
"Like, what is really wrong with him?"
I roll my eyes before standing up and readjusting my beige palazzo pants.
"He's just a waste...of face...body and lips"
