A couple days passed and I heard nothing more from Phill. I hoped they had lost the tape. I had changed over the past few days. I was quiet. I attended every class, including fourth block, but my conscience bothered me. I didn't want her to lose her job. That was more important than me graduating.

"Papi! " Dedra grabbed my hand.

"Oh.. Hey." I said.

"You ok? " she said to me in a concerned voice.

I faked a smile and talked to her. I thought that Dedra could distract me.

"We could skip fourth block you know. I know you hate math." she laughed.

"No I wanna go to class." I put my head down.

She walked In front of me and I put my back against the locker.

"What about the bathroom?" She smiled at me and grabbed the flabs of my jacket.

I knew that look.. Dedra wanted to..

I grabbed her hand and walked down the hallway.

"My bro papi gotta new girl! " My homeboy yelled from across the hall.

I walked to him and gave him dap(a handshake) .

"I heard about you. " He said being messy.

"You heard what? " Dedra said placing her hand on her hips.

"You and Mrs La... " I interrupted him before he could finish.

"Lie. " I pulled Dedra to walk with me as we went to 2nd block.

We sat down as principle Pet walked in.

"Good morning! The ACT test is coming soon. I have decided to grant you advisors. Your lowest grade in whatever class it is, will be your advisor. For example, if you have a c in math, and A's and B's in all your other classes, you advisor will be one of Central's math teachers. We have already begun with A-I last names we will begin with J's today. "

He pulled out an chart.

"Jackson your advisor is English Mr. Robinson. Jacob , advanced history Ms. Ashton room 101. Joseph, you're in the science department, you'll be with me. "

"Damn. " The class laughed as Joseph pulled out his science book.

Principle Peeters continued. "For those of you who take calculus, pre-cal, geometry, algebra, and remedial math, you'll be with Mrs. Latimore in the teacher's lounge until further notice. That's Jones and anyone below her name. "

My heart fluttered. I would be with Kim alone.

"There will be no fourth block due to the basketball game this afternoon. I hope to see you all there. "

He left the room and class was almost over. Dedra asked me was I going to the game and would I pick her up. I told her yes and the bell rang.

We walked down the hall until Dedra left to get on the bus. I drove an old school Camaro back and forth to school.

"I'll see y'all later!" I shouted to my bros. They all played basketball. Right before I got to exit door. I saw her.. She looked worried. Walking with her head down, she bumped into me. We made eye contact, but that was all. Mrs. Latimore hated me. I turned around.. And watched her walk away.
