Diggy P.O.V:Diggy: *paces back and forth *
Justine: Dig calm down you're making this bigger than what it is.
Diggy: Ma, dad can be judgmental sometimes. I'm sorry.
Justine: He's your dad he'll understand. It's great news! You should be excited.
Diggy: Sure
I'm nervous to tell my dad that I don't want to do rap anymore. Not that he can really tell me what I to do hence I'm 20. It's actually because I'm sorta doing this for him. I mean it's cool and everything but I just don't feel like I can entirely be myself. The label's trying to model me after Drake- I want to be Diggy Simmons. Not Drake Simmons. I wanted to be a legend like my dad. But it's not working out like that.
I'm not giving up. That's something I'd never do. I'm just thinking about me right now so I can find where my heart is at. He'll understand- he'll support me in whatever I set my mind to. Besides I've already been accepted into an academy- New York Film Academy.Rev. Run: Wait what? You said what now? You want to what?
Justine: Come on Joey here him out. Go ahead Dig.
Diggy: *shallows hard* I want to take a break from rapping so I can-
Rev. Run: Son. *chuckles* Break? You can't take a break from rapping.... You've got to keep pushing it. People barely know your name as it is!
Diggy: The right people do- my supporters. That's not where my heart is right now. I want to go to college. I want to start my career in acting.
Rev. Run: Acting?! What kind of mess is this? Dig acting isn't no better! You gotta stay committed and you can't leave just because that's not where your heart is in the moment.
Diggy: *frustrated* I know that! It's just-
Rev. Run: *points a finger at him* It's just nothing. You're going to continue to rap regardless if your in school or not. You're going to do that.
Diggy: *sucks his teeth* That's not -
Justine: Joey!
Rev. Run: No. End of discussion. I've spoken.
Diggy: *nods* Okay..But is it a bad time to tell you that I've already enrolled into a college?
Rev. Run: No it's a great time. What also would be a great time is when you tell me you're going back into the studio.
Diggy: *rolls his eyes* *sighs*
Rev. Run: Great now that's discussed.... When are you leaving?
Diggy: Tomorrow..
Rev. Run: Then what are you standing here for looking all glum? You should be excited!
Diggy: *chuckles* *leaves*
I was excited for college. The next level. I don't think I've always been as good in school as I could've been thanks to the rapping. I planned on focusing on something different but my father... Wants me to stick to it. I'll continue to write songs. But I'm focused on me right now. He'll have to wait.
Your P.O.V:
*in lecture*
Y/N: *stares at your notebook * *thinks* Maybe Diggy could say something to piss Frenchie off... No that'll be too cliché. OOOH! Maybe I could have Diggy and Chris fight! Or-
Professor Gwinner: Y/N!
Y/N: *jumps* What?
Students: *stares at her*
