"Good morning class. Yes, I know I haven't been here lately but I cannot do that to you any longer. Most of you are seniors and I want you to graduate. But anyways today, we're gonna talk about what happened in 1941 that went down in history." I sigh taking my phone out drowning out Dad.
"Hey, are you okay?" I look to the side and see a small but petite Asian girl. "Yeah, I'm good. Thank you for asking." She smiles extending her hand out. "Hi, I'm Xia with an X." I grab her hand shaking it. "Loren with a Lo." She chuckles lowly nodding. "So, is that your dad? Mr. Jefferson?"
I nod licking my lips. "Yeah." "I asked because you two look alike."
"I get that a lot but you should see my daddy. I'm a spitting image of him." She raises an eyebrow. "Oh, you have 2 dads?" I nod. Oh wait, is she one of those homophobic ass people? "No, I'm not homophobic. I was just surprised." Did she just read my mind? "No, I didn't read your mind. Your face was quite obvious."
"Oh." That is all I say. "Does your parents experience homophobic assholes everywhere they go?" I shake my head. "Well, I've never seen them experience homophobic assholes so I can't answer that for real." She nods. "Loren, Xia, fill us in with your conversation." I look at Dad and I almost make myself small by his deadly glare. "Sorry for talking Mr. Jefferson."
"See me after class you both." I nod as he turns back to the board presuming his lesson.

"What conversation was so important that you had to talk during my class Loren?" I look at Dad. "We were talking about--" "We were talking about colleges." Xia interrupts me and Dad looks at Xia. "And what college are you thinking of Xia?"
"Blue Ridge Community College." Dad looks at me. "Lolo, that's where you're going." I nod looking at Xia. "What are you going for?"
"I wanna do tattoos." I slowly grin. "Me too." "Okay hurry and get to class." We nod standing up and walking out of the room. "What class do you have next?"
"Umm AP English LIT." She nods giving me her phone. "What's this for?" She innocently smiles. "Your number." I hesitantly grab her phone. "You don't have Instagram?" She shakes her head. "My eomeoni doesn't want me to have Instagram."
"What's that word you just said?" I asked her, I was surprised when I heard her speak a different language. "Oh, it's the word is mother. It's Korean." I nod putting my number in her phone. "Here you go." I gave her the phone. "Thank you." I nod as the late bell rings. "Well, I have to go. Before I'm even more late."
"Yeah, me too." She starts to walk down the hall but she turns around and calls my name before I walk away. "Loren?" I turn around looking at her. "Yeah?" She smiles giving me a funny feeling. "Neoleul mannaseo gippeo." (I'm glad I met you) "And what does that mean?"
"I'm glad I met you." I match her smile. "I'm glad I met you too."
Brooklyn POV
"Wait baby get up." My girlfriend, Sarah gets up. "What's wrong honey?" I shake my head grabbing my phone. "Nothing wrong. I just forgot to tell my best friend that I ain't coming to school."
"But if she cared wouldn't she call you?" Now that she said that, if Lolo cared then she would've called me if I was okay. "Yeah, you're right." She sits on my lap. "Of course I'm right. Is she being a best friend to you? What if you were dead? She didn't even contact you." I nod taking in her words.
"You sholl is right bae." She smiles caressing my cheek. "Wanna have some fun to take your mind off of it?" I sigh looking at her breast. So plump and juicy. "Yeah." She smiles pecking my lips.
Xia POV
I sigh drawing in my notebook. I always sit by myself in the cafeteria since I currently have no friends. "Hey Xia." I look up from my notebook. "Loren? What are you doing here?" She sits down in front of me. "In the cafeteria? To eat of course." I shake my head. "No. Why are you sitting by me?"
"Because we're friends right?" Friends. I smile at that word. "Yeah. Yeah of course. We're friends." She smiles giving me butterflies. She is so beautiful. I'm glad that I talked to her this morning. Ever since I've been here I've had a crush on Loren. "Your not hungry?"
I get out of my thoughts. "Oh no I'm not hungry." She brings her plate forward. "You sure? My Dad packed way too much for me. I can give you some if you want." I look at her plate and see 4 chicken wings, macaroni, cornbread. I may be Korean but my eomeoni has had black people over. And they make that a lot.
"They let you bring that in the school?" She shakes her head. "Nah my Dad had it. He just came down here to give it to me."
"Oh." She changes her seat by sitting right by me. I put my hands on my thigh to stop them from shaking in nervousness. "So, do you want some?" I begin to open my mouth to decline again but she puts a spoonful of macaroni in my mouth. I chew slowly while looking at her. Her eyes are so beautiful. "T-Thank you."
I shyly say going back to my notebook. "Your welcome X." I raise an eyebrow looking back at her. "X?"
"Yeah, just in case I'm pronouncing your name wrong." I smile since no one has said that to me before. "Well in that case, can I call you Lolo?" She hands me a chicken wing. "People call me Lolo all the time. I want you to call me by my name. Important people call me Loren. That one is spicy so be careful." I smile.
She called me important. But why? "Hey umm Loren?" "Yeah?" She puts a piece of cornbread in her mouth. "Umm why am I important to you? I mean we did just meet today."
"Well, your important to me because your unique. Your different from everybody else that I talk to." She hands me the spoon of macaroni. "You do know that your feeding me right?" She shrugs looking around and back at me. "I can stop if you want me to."
"No. It's okay. You can continue feeding me. I don't mind." She smiles feeing me the macaroni. "Bet."
