Mrs. Clover: Thank you." she said, grabbing Cheyenne's homework.

I pulled out my notes from the documentary that me and Maurice did together. Pulling his out, I handed Mrs. Clover mines and his. She smiled as she saw Maurice had done his homework. All the boys had done their homework and I could see it brought a genuine smile to her face.

Mrs. Clover: I am glad to see that all of you guys did the homework." she said, placing the papers on her desk. She sat on her desk as she grabbed pink slip forms. I smiled as I already knew the kind of forms those were.

Mrs. Clover: Alright you guys! School Trip time!" she buzzed as she waved the pink slip forms.

Senia and Nique clapped their hands, as I smiled big.

Mrs. Clover: Mr. Oliver and I have decided to take our classes too, drum roll please.."

I smirked as Cheyenne banged on her table.

Mrs. Clover: Washington DC!" she smiled.

China: Yes!" she said loudly. She coward away as we all looked at her and laughed.

Mrs. Clover: That is right, we will be going to the National Museum Of African American History and Culture." she beamed.

Mrs. Clover: now, there are only 50 spots opened, so the first 50 kids to have their parents sign and pay will be going on the field trip." she said. I grabbed mine as she placed it on the table. My smile faded as I looked at the payment part. My heart sank as $350 was needed for me to go on this trip. Turning it over, I sighed as I knew my mom wouldn't be able to help me out.

China: I'm so excited!" she squealed as she turned to us.

Nique: this is perfect, this is right after the boys get off suspension. They can definitely come." she said. I sighed again, as Senia grabbed the boy's permission slips. The late bell rung, and I stuffed the pink slip in my bag. Closing it up, I grabbed my notebook and stuffed it in.

Mrs. Clover: remember, the first 50 students who turn it in will get to go." she reminded. I sighed as we left class. I waved at my girls goodbye as I walked to the next period. I pulled out the permission slip form again, and read the activities on the form. These all looked fun, and I smiled at the dinner idea.

Lori: I already paid for my spot." she said, making me look up at her. I rolled my eyes as I stuffed it in my pocket.

Lori: it's too bad you won't be going." she smirked.

Me: how would you know?"

Lori: please, you think I don't know that you can't afford it." she giggled. I gritted my teeth as she followed me to class.

Me: Whatever, Lori." I said getting upset.

Lori: which is perfect that you can't, because I know Maurice is going to go on this trip, and it will give me all the alone time I need with him." she threatened. I stopped and glared in her face as her sly smirk got wider.

The late bell rang, and she bumped my shoulder as she walked into class. I took a breather before going into class. Sitting down, I ignored her as I got a text from Maurice.

Reese: you got me a permission for right?"

Me: yes Reese." I smiled as he already knew about it.

Reese: how's class?"

Me: it's good, what you doing?"

Reese: shitt at Dion house, smoking."
