Chapter Seventeen.

Next Day.

Kitana sat outside in a navy blue school chair, one leg crossed over the other as she chatted with Morgan. They both took their classes outside for recess, so they decided to catch up while the kids played. Based on how Kitana's class acted the day before, she initially wasn't going to let them have recess but they were back on their best behavior today.

"Wait, so he kissed you?!" Morgan exclaimed as Kitana told her about Justice coming over last night.

"Yes ma'am and when I tell you.." Kitana trailed off, taking a pause. "She was thumping." Taking the clipboard that was in her lap, she began to fan herself with it.

"Wait- oop, that lil' cootie cat you got down there?" Morgan smirked, before laughing as Kitana laughed too.

"Yes. Just call me SWV because I sure was weak. My hormones had me ready to pounce on that man."

It was a good thing that the kids were some feet away on the playground. This was not a conversation they needed to be hearing. Especially Ilani, considering it involved her father.

"Are y'all like, together or..."

"No." Kitana shook her head. "I mean, not yet anyway. We act like we are at times, though. I'm sure that's where things are headed. Regardless, that's still my man my man my man." She quoted Caresha.

"Period." Morgan laughed as they high fived each other. "See, I just had a feeling you were going to listen to me and jump on that. Aren't you glad to have me?" She sighed dramatically as she leaned her head on Kitana's shoulder.

"Girl puh-lease." Kitana rolled her eyes playfully. "Anywho, we're going on a date this Saturday."

"Aw, that's great Tana! Where's he taking you?" Morgan gushed.

"I'm not sure yet, but he said he'd send me the exact details beforehand so I'll know what to wear and whatnot. I'm so excited, that's all I've been thinking about!" Kitana cheesed.

"I bet! I'm excited for you, boo."

They continued to talk, switching from topic to topic. It felt good to have some social interaction after being cooped up in the classroom all day.

In the blink of an eye, thirty minutes had passed by which meant that recess was now over.

Kitana stood from her seat, clapping her hands three times.

"Alright my loves! Please stop what you're doing and line up. It's time to head back inside." Kitana called out, hearing groans and lip smacks from the kids as they began to get off of the swings, slides, and monkey bars.

She didn't understand why they acted like that every time it recess was over. They knew that they'd only have thirty minutes of play time. It had been like that since the first day of school, and it was nearing mid September now.

"Yes, if you're in my class, please do the same! We gotta go back in the building!" Morgan said loudly to her students as well.

All of the twenty six children that belonged in Kitana's class exited the playground premises and walked over to where she stood. They lined up neatly, waiting for further instruction.

"Y'all know the drill. As we enter the school, we must be on silent mode. If you need to use the restroom or get a sip of water, please do so quickly and quietly so we don't disturb the other classes. Understand?"

"Yes, Ms.Kirkland." They replied.

"Perfect. Taniyah, lead the class inside." Kitana spoke to the little girl who was responsible for being the line leader today. A different student got the chance to be the line leader each day of the week.
