Chapter 72

Aliyah P.O.V.

"Alright, payment is due today, for all those whos signed up for the Senior college tours coming up next month, please pass your slip and form of payment to the front, and you'll be provided your plane ticket the morning of the trip."

I reached inside my bag, pulling out my money form and the envelope of cash I was using to pay for the trip.

"You got yours?" I asked, looking over at Marcus.

"Hell yeah." He smiled a little, reaching his hand in his bookbag that was sitting on his desk.

I took his things from him and passed ours up together, before turning back to him. "The tour is getting closer, are you excitied?"

He nodded. "Yeah I guess, Im tryna get away from home for awhile, and Im tryna see what this college is about."

I chuckled.

"Me too, is everybody coming? Like WIll, Brittany and Chris?" He nodded. "Yeah I think so, I know Will and Chris is coming for sure, but I think Brittany signed up for a different state."

"Oh, well I can't wait, I finally get to see my dream school up close and personal." He chuckled.

"Don't have a orgasm over the school now." I rolled my eyes, slapping his shoulder. "You get on my nerves."

"But you love it though, you still coming over today?"

"Unfortunately I am." He laughed. "Stay with the jokes, but ight good."

I took a deep breath, looking back down in my booklet. "Mhm, get back to these questions."

"Ight, fine." He mumbled.

Amara P.O.V.

I pushed open the girls bathroom door, heading back to class. I dusted my hands off on my jeans, walking down the empty hallway.

I turned the corner, passing by the front office door, when I heard the door open behind me.

I kept walking, not bothering to turn around, until I heard somebody call my name. I stopped in my tracks and frowned once I heard Meeka's voice.

I turned around, to see her smiling, making her way over to me. I was actually surprised to see her here, since she had just disappeared from school all together for a minute now.

But I was even more surprised that she stopped to talk to me, since we haven't really talked since she took me to the clinic.

"Hey you." She said, stepping to me with her arms folded. "Hey."

She slightly smiled, leaning up agaisnt the wall that was near the both of us. "Wassup? We haven't talked in a minute.....how's everything going? You know....with the abortion thing."

I cleared my throat a little, nodding my head. "Everything's good...now, my body is pretty much back to normal."

She nodded. "Good, sorry I wasn't around much to check on you girl, but I've been busy with my own shit, but Im glad to hear that you're doing better, I knew you would bounce back."

She smiled a little, causing me to smile a little. "Yeah......but where've you been? I haven't seen you around here in a few weeks, you damn near disappeared."

She sighed. "I know, like I said, I've been busy, I got a job and it's been taking up all my time, so that's why Im here today."

I frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I came to withdraw." She started. "My job is about to get real busy in a week or so, so I need the extra shifts to make this money, so I did what I had to do."
