The rest of the weekend went by in a flash. Uncle J had told our parents what happened and we didn't get into much trouble but they were pissed that a lady had profiled all three of us. Bryson went home early and now I'm back at school.
Luckily Amara finally took the hint that I didn't want to talk to her, so she's been leaving me alone. Auntie Cece also asked me if I wanted to become a TA since it would look good on my transcript so I agreed. I told her I'd do it during my bells that I'm free in and it depends whether I have energy to do it or not.
I was on my way to the gym, but I went into the locker room first and changed into some shorts and a plain white t-shirt. After changing, I went out to go meet up with my aunt and wait for her students to come in. I was talking with my aunt when we heard the door open up. I see Amara and Alayna both walk in and I sighed.
"Why are they both here auntie?" I asked in a whisper.
"All three of y'all are my TA's." she said with a smile.
Damn it auntie Cece. I watched as both of them looked me up and down and I mentally hit myself in the face. I walked away and sat down on the bleachers and waited for the kids to show up. I was trying to tell myself to mentally prepare for what's about to happen until Alayna pulled me out of my thoughts.
"So, I haven't seen you since the cookout." she said.
"Yeah, um it's been, I um I don't know." I said stumbling over my words.
"It's ok. I'm sorry, by the way. What I did was unexpected and I wasn't really thinking and I shouldn't have done it." she apologized.
"It's ight. Clearly the feelings you have for me hasn't disappeared yet and I don't blame you. But Alayna that hook up was a mistake and I don't want that to ruin our relationship. Before everything happened, we were like sisters. I miss that. I miss you. But we can't have that bond if you want a relationship with me, because that's all I see you as. And that's not me trying to be mean at all, you'll find the right person, but it's not me and I'm sorry about that." I ranted to her.
"It's okay Liyah. I learned to accept that this thing won't happen, but it's just taking some time. I'm trying though." she said.
"But no more of this separation stuff. I hate not being able to have that bond with you. Like I said I miss you and I really wasn't lying about that." I said with a small smile.
"Okay, well what do you say about being on my team for this basketball game?" she asked with a smile.
"Alright, but I'm not having someone who sucks on my team, so are you bad or decent?" I asked.
