Jasmine Lon'Yea:
After getting our Starbucks we pulled into our school parking lot and to see that it was crowded with senior cars and people making their way into the school.
"So what are we doing for your birthday this year?" Armani asked while she sips on her iced coffee
"Um, I don't know not feeling it," I said looking out my car window.
"Oh no no no, we are not doing this your birthday is a month away and we need to do something big, extravagant!" She exclaims.
"But I don't want anything big, Armani you forget your my only friend remember? And besides who would even come if we did something big" I asked
"Well since you asked, maybe Caleb and his boys could come and they could invite the rest of the football team plus their friends," she said with wide eyes
Of course, she would want her quote-on-quote baby daddy to come. Eyes are rolled
"If I said no, you're going to still do it anyway?" I sighed
"Of course, you should know me by now," she says
"Fine I guess"
"Oh hell yeah, finna turn up... texting Caleb right now," she said pulling out her phone.
"Hold up love, if we do this no drama, no guns..it's a peaceful bday," I say
"I gotcha babe, peaceful I let Caleb know"
"Good"

Last class of the day Woo-Who!! And graduation is a month away, more like five days after my birthday, but who would complain? I get to celebrate my birthday and graduation all in the same month Unless something goes wrong.
"Already class, assignment 2.0-2.5 is due tomorrow at the beginning of class these are your last assignment for the month then we move on to the big project that will be worth 30% of your grade," my world history teacher says.
Slight mumbles are heard from the rest of the class and they seem to not want to do the project that my teacher will be handing out. On the other hand, I would rather do projects than do damn assignments that make me stay up until 2:30 in the damn morning.
"Cable and Armani you are late, what did I tell you what would happen if you walked into my class late again," Mrs. Run-berry says
Giggling comes from Armani as she replies" Sorry Mrs.Run-berry, Caleb need help in his last class so I helped him, but he's a pass for our lateness"
" takes your seat," Mrs. Run-Berry says as she takes the note away from her
Pass my ass, more like stole them from Ms. Brown that poor old lady who has been teaching at this high school for 40 years now.
"Hey sexy, miss me?" Armani says as she takes a spot next to me.
"Nope," I said smiling
"Wtv hoe," she says smiling as well
"So are you gonna help me with the project or are you gonna ditch me this time?" I asked
"I'm going to help, my parents threaten to take away my allowance," she says.
"Ahhh Mama Lou finally did the right thing lol," I say Teasing her.

Finally, after a long damn of lectures and turning in missing assignments I can finally go home and sleep my life away or so I thought.
"Jasmine pouvez-Vous vous arrêter au magasin, j'ai besoin de wong tonnes pour la nourriture chinoise," My mother says as she speaks heavily with her French accent. (translation: Jasmine can you stop at the store, I need wong tons of Chinese food)
" Oui, maman, je peux, voudrais-tu autre chose?" I reply. (yes I can mom, do you need something else?)
My mother is a traveler, she loves going out and visiting different places and for the past two years she's been learning to speak French so that when she goes to France she can understand and speak the language and in the process she made me speak French, so now I'm half fluent in the language.
"Non, ma fille, merci" my mother replies.
After that, I hung up my phone and headed to the car, my beautiful all-white Jeep Wrangler named Butterfly. Yes called me weird I named my car Butterfly because she drives like a butterfly and butterflies are my favorite insects.
"Hey, Jasmine!" Hearing my name being called behind me I look back to see Carter Riggs running up to me
Carter Riggs, Westview High Quarterback, a ladies' man and a player, best friends with Caleb Parker (aka Armani's boy toy)
"Hey Carter, everything okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, yeah everything is okay. I just heard about your birthday party from Caleb and I'm stoked and can't wait" he said happily
Damn you Armani
I giggled," It's not a party Carter, I just want a get together"
"Oh okay dang my bad, we'll I'm still stoked," Carter says.
"Yeah, well I have to get going, I'll see you at the get-together," I say putting my backpack into the passenger side of my car.
"Alrighty bet, but before you go here's my number just in case you need me to help set up or just wanna talk" he pulls out his phone a shows me
His number. I take a quick pic of it as I'll save it for
Later.
"Got it, see you around," I said.
