A few months passed and the fall semester was in full swing. The force of senior year was real and so was senioritis.
Fatima hated her Monday and Wednesday schedule, she had an 8am class that she could not afford to miss. It was one of her last core classes that she needed to graduate.
Everyone knew Fatima wasn't a morning person and that you could meet the real her after 10am on a good day. She sat in class staring at the PowerPoint but not hearing a word the professor had to say.
"Get up" Zac says tapping her and she jumped, startled out of her trance.
"I'm tired" she says to him " Atleast this time you can't blame it on me" he says to her and she rolls her eyes before focusing back on the professor.
"I know Andi scares me, I had a feeling she would have the baby last night" Fatima says with her pen to the paper
"She has a full month left" Zac says as he took notes as well
"But she's so little I think he's going to come early" Fatima says
"I think I'll stop right here, on Wednesday we can go more in depth" the professor said. Letting the class out thirty minutes early
"Thank you God" Fatima mumbled to herself closing her book. "I can't wait to lay down" she says
"After you eat something because I already know what you're going to do" he tells her as he grabbed her bookbag just before they exited the class
"What am I going to do?" She ask and he sucked his teeth.
"You're going to tell me your not hungry, go lay back down and then wake up complaining about your head hurting and how you're starving" He explains
"I didn't eat all day" he began to imitate her voice
"Babe my head is pounding oh my god" he continued as they walked. She laughed at his foolishness.
"I don't sound like that" she complained
"You do. You can't hear yourself." He says
"Well you know this class is too damn early I really don't be hungry" she says
"Well you're going to get whatever you want to eat now because I don't want to hear you mouth" he says as he opened the car door for her and she got in.
"I hate that this is the only class I have. Like who gets up at 8am for one class!" She complained
"You've been complaining about this for two months at this point. It's nothing to do about it" he says. Zac was an early bird so he didnt mind it, plus he only had an hour in between until he had to go to his next classes. The bulk of his classes were on Monday and Tuesday so he liked to get it out the way, so he could work.
"Are you going to the rest of your classes today?" Fatima ask as she reclined the passenger seat.
"You know I am. I'm not staying in with you today" he says. If it's one thing, she knew Zac was serious about his studies and he worked hard.
"So I'm not going to see you until Wednesday" she whined
"Where are you getting that from?" He ask as he turned down one of the streets
" Because you have class until one and then you're going to go to work-
"And I'll see you when I get off" he says
"And then I won't see you all day tomorrow because you have class and work. THEN you work the rest of the week" she continued
"You're so dramatic" he says laughing "You see me damn near everyday when you not in one of your moods"
"In what moods?" She asked
