"You're late, Tatiana," Tatiana's boss Mr. Pickett said as she entered the building 15 minutes late since she had to make a U-turn back to the school because she had forgotten her phone and to change into her uniform. She was so busy talking to Danté that she forgot she even had to go to work, plus she was already upset, so that didn't make things any better either.

"I'm sorry." She apologized, "I've just been going through some things. It won't happen again, I promise."

Pickett nodded his head and started towards his office that he barley even comes out of. Or maybe he did, but Tatiana just never seen him either way she didn't care.

She walked into Ella's room to check on her, and she was sleeping like a baby. She looked so peaceful. Tatiana honestly didn't know what she would do if something ever happened to her grandmother. That was basically the only person that she had besides Nicole, but it felt like she was losing her over stupid reasons.

"Hey baby," Ms. Ella said, startling Tatiana out of her thoughts. She could have sworn that she was just fast asleep.

"Hey grandma" Tatiana greeted her seeing her grandmother's smile made her feel better

"What have you been up to lately?" Ella asked she could see that Tatiana had been crying because her eyes were still puffy and just a little bit red. "What's the matter?"

Tatiana sighed, taking a seat at the end of her Ella's bed. It took her a moment before she spoke because she had to get her words together. "Me and Nicole have been getting into it lately over dumb stuff, and it's annoying. I feel like we're drifting apart, and I really can't lose my best friend over nonsense." She explained, and Ella nodded her head she had been through the same thing that Tatiana is experiencing

"And what are you two disagreeing on?"
"She thinks that I'm lying about Michael cheating on her. She thinks I'm trying to take away her happiness, which I'm not. No matter who tells her about him, she chooses him over us, and it's just frustrating grandma," Tatiana explained almost in tears. Ella comforted her granddaughter, rubbing her back trying to soothe her

"It's alright, baby, a hard head makes a soft behind, so she's going to find out soon enough, just don't keep telling her about him. She's just in that denial stage of her relationship. Where she thinks nothing can go wrong just because it's been happy so far" Ella explained

It started to make sense. If Tatiana ever got into a relationship, she hoped she wouldn't be like Nicole because that's not a pretty picture at all. Nicole was making herself look like a complete idiot, and that was unacceptable. "I can tell you now that you two are never going to stop being friends you guys been through so much."

"Are you sure because that's what it feels like" Tatiana sniffed as she wiped away her tears, Ella nodded, and she started to feel better.

After work, Tatiana decided just to call it a day because she was too tired to do anything else. She just wanted to sleep to clear her head.
Once inside of her dorm, she saw Nicole and Michael balled up under the covers asleep, she had to admit they looked cute, but he was still a scheming ass nigga, but at the end of the day it was still Nicole's choice whether or not if she stayed with him. The room stunk, so she knew that they had been doing the nasty before she got there.
"Oh my god, do y'all ever get tired of fucking" Tatiana asked herself as she walked into the bathroom to change into her Spongebob pajamas that Ella had bought her for her birthday. Spongebob was her favorite cartoon character ever since she was a child
