"Is Jazzy aight?" I asked Cindy, speaking to her on the phone while walking down the school hallway.

"Nah, not really. Her ass won't stop cryin'."

"Damn, that's real messed up what Mrs. D did. Tom must be crying like a b*tch."

"Jazzy's really f*cked up about it, Reezy... And ion know that to do."

"Whatchu mean, Murph?"

"I'm here wipin Jazzy's eyes and sh*t because her mama been lyin' to her fo' years... And I'm jus' here feelin' like sh*t 'cause I'm doin' da same thing."

"You cheatin' on Mr. Dubois?" I asked confusedly.

"No dumbass. I'm lyin' to Jazzy about us."

I heard her sigh.

"It ain't never gonna be the right time, Reezy..."

I sighed too.

I know it's a big deal and sh*t for Cindy to tell Jazmine about us.

If I'm being for real, I kinda want people to know too. It's sexy as sh*t sneaking around with my girl, but it's kinda tiring.

I wanna brag about Cindy to my homies, to Jake. Sh*t, I want Ebony and Huey to know too.

"Look Murph, you gon' find the right time. I promise."

"Aight... Well I gotta go. Jazzy comin' out the bathroom. See you later?"

"Hell yeah, yo' ass still gotta make it up to me, remember?" I smirked.

I heard her chuckle. "Bye Reezy."

"Bye baby." I said, hanging up the phone.

"Who was that?" I jumped, seeing Huey standing there.

"Sh*t nigga! No one!" I lied as he quirked his eyebrow at me. 

"What the hell is wrong with you?

"Uh nothin'! I'm cool!" I snickered nervously.

Huey rolled his eyes. "Have you seen Jazmine? We're supposed to meet now for lunch to work on our project."

"Uh, she's with C-Murph..."

"Well are they in the cafeteria-"

"They ain't here!" I exclaimed.

Huey looked at me weirdly as I cleared my throat.

"...Uh, she's at Jazzy's house."

"Jazmine doesn't skip." "Yeah but Mrs. D left." I said as Huey paused.

"What?"

"Yeah, the hoe walked out on on Tom. That's why Murph is with her."

"Wait, is Jazmine okay?" He asked as I rolled my eyes. "Whatchu think, nigga?"

Huey then groaned before walking away, as I sighed in slight relief.
