"I don't think I will be able to go to Riley's birthday girl, I have been feeling really shitty lately"

"Girl you rarely eat at school or attend, and you didn't want to wear your tights in class. Do you have a UTI or something?" Jazmine Questioned, while dropping Tia home from school.

"No, I guess it's just an ailment" Tia stated, walking home. Tia often rides with Jasmine from school after dance practice and truly that's the only time Jazmine drives to school.

"Well you need to go to the doctor immediately, I could come over and hel.." Jasmine unfastened her seatbelt right before Tia cut her off.

"No!" "I mean... I'm good girl"  Tia crouched over but opened the front door to her home. Jazmine looked at Tia struggling to open her door before entering the house she turned towards the car.

Okay, whatever you say!"

"Jaz, Wait!, please don't tell Caesar we talked, I don't want him to know I'm unwell"  Tia shouted.

"I don't understand, but okay" Jazmine gave her a thumbs up and slowly backed out the driveway and took off.

Meanwhile Tia panted back and forth feeling unwell, until she ran to the toilet.

Flashback to Jazmine's Sleep Over

"So Caesar what type of music do you listen to"?
"Mainly Hip-hop and Rap but R&B, and Reggae is cool, how about you"? He asked me.

I don't know why I lied and said same when I was clearly an alternative black girl. Don't get me wrong I love me some Hip-hop but it's something about alternative that can relate to especially how I feel in this new environment. It hasn't been easy I literally came 6 months ago and already I feel like everyone thinks they know me. I'm just the side character right?

"Why do you smoke and drink?" He looked serious.

"Is that a rhetorical question"? What the fuck, was he judging me?

"Nah, You mad pretty I was just wondering why the bad habits"?

"You know little about me Salad" I lightly pushed him and his locks tapped his lips, I was stoned so I envisioned that happening in slow motion.

After we played those drinking games and everyone was sleeping I began to feel Ill. I shouldn't have smoked or drink.

"Ugh Why do I do this to myself"

"You okay In there "?

"No, I think I'll be okay though" how embarrassing.

After I felt like Heaving, I took a shower and felt sleepy. Hiro and Jazmine's other friend was on the couch. Caesar was Lowkey sleep on the chair. I decided to go to the guest bedroom upstairs to get better sleep when I heard something fall coming towards Jazmine's room. I ignored it and laughed. I looked downstairs and noticed Caesar coming up and my heart jumped.

"Where are you going Miss"

"To sleep, why"? We're whispering at this point.

"Can I join, I ugh mean on the floor of course" I didn't even expect this from him. We are drunk so I shrugged it off.

"It's... probably a bad idea....I like" I was leaning over but almost falling over the stairs. He got me of course.
