MORGAN

A few days had gone by and today was now Saturday.

Over the last two days, me and Antonio had been texting a lot and somehow I had gotten Journey to agree to let me see him.

I lied to her and told her that the reason we were meeting up was because of our project, which we had already been done with and had been waiting to present.

The real reason we were meeting up was to just hang out.

I was also going to use this as a way to reconnect with her because we hadn't held a real conversation since the night before my first day back to school and I really wanted to reconnect and let her know what had been going on recently.

After all she was the only one I really felt like I could trust.

Briel was nice but after what me and Zyaire did I didn't feel like being around her as much anymore.

I made my way down the stairs and out of the front door, closing it behind myself and proceeded to make my way to Journey's car.

After getting in the passenger seat, I closed the door and put my seatbelt on.

"Hey Morg." Journey smiled at me.

"Hey Jour." I returned a smile.

Journey began to drive as she focused on the road.

I remained silent and began to stare out of the window.

"So how has school been?" Journey finally asked.

"Good." I replied dryly.

I didn't really wanna talk about school since I had done the unthinkable last week with Mr. Hamilton.

That had been taking a toll on my whole mental health, not that I regretted it but I just felt like I was objectifying myself, having sex with all these different people who didn't care about me at all.

"Good? What's been happening? Have you met any new friends?" She asked.

"I haven't really met many, but I guess you could say I'm friends with the boy I'm doing the project with and I'm still friends with Briel. So yeah, that's about it." I replied.

"Ohh okay, I see." Journey nodded.

I continued to look out of the window and stared at the trees that whipped by.

"You never told me about that trip you snuck on." Journey playfully bumped me.

"It's too much." I replied dryly.

I didn't feel like telling her because I knew she'd be ashamed of me.

"Morgan c'mon now, you know you can tell me anything, I'd never judge you." She replied.

I finally gave in and decided that I would tell her, after all she always encouraged me to have fun and she'd never been the judgemental type.

"I lost my virginity." I finally admitted.

"You did what?!" Journey asked with wide eyes.
