Round the way

8

I sat in class trying to focus on my work but couldn't cause we got partnered up to do a project on which side of psychology we wanted to branch off into

I already had my mind made up so this project was a waste of my time but fuck it since it was our final project before the end of the semester

My birthday was Sunday and my parents wanted me to come out to dinner but Kt already made plans for us so they'd have to understand since I told them ahead of time I was bringing my 21st birthday in with my friends

My mom had remarried after leaving my father and Mark was perfect for her, he loved her the way a man was supposed to love a woman he loved her children like we were his I was the only one to actually like him the twins were distant they barely liked our biological father

So what are y'all doing today do y'all want to get this over with

I looked at the boy and the girl I was partnered with he wasn't bad looking

Sure I said

We can the girl said

Cool y'all take my number cause my shorty might get mad if I have y'all numbers in my phone he said

It's still gonna be in your call log or text but ok I said

We had a week to get to know each other and write a report about the person

I can come to one of y'all place or we can meet at the library he said

Which ever one is ok with you ion want you to get beat up The girl said

I agreed as he laughed getting out of his seat

I grabbed my things then left out on the side of them
