~Arden's POV~
So it's Wednesday and I'm in 5th period right now. This past week has been the best week ever; mainly because I like Rich and now I know he likes me too. My friends tease me and say that I'm whipped but I pay them no mind. Anyways, I'm in chorus right now. If you know me, then you know I love to sing, it's the best feeling in the world.
"Arden, Daniel why don't you come up and do a duet for us?" My chorus teacher, Ms. French, asked.
" uh-u-I-uh.......sure." I got up and so did Rich. We already knew what song to do that perfect for us. He raps, I sing. I got on the piano ready to begin.
Arden: ohhhh no no no no, she said, she said.....love me better, kiss me back, listen more, ohhh.....love me better kiss me back listen more love me better kiss me back listen mooore.... Yeah no no nooo.
Rich: face down in the brown grass, shame shame on my brown ass, birds in the trees as we run through, and if I'm dead to the world what you gon' do? What you gon' do? Like....
Arden: I can't remember....
Rich:.....shots fired rewind, please girl be mine, email denied, talk to me baby, before we go crazy might do it maybe.
We were so Jay-Z & Beyonce, my aunt says " keep the sex game picante" So Aunt May, the Mary Jane that I was hittin' on, we were trying to forget that there was something wrong, Love is Russian Roulette I had the safety on, We popped pills at the Coachella, Put my hand in the weeds, man I can't tell her, the fear that I feel man it might kill her, man it might kill her, it's the prep school mic killa', with the drums and the groove so it feel Dilla,
I don't care what he say, Imma get my platinum back like I'm a half ton gorilla, you can hang, but homie on the low, but ya boy so weak like a week ago, but we ain't speaking tho.....we ain't speaking.
Arden: Tuesday afternoon, I ain't got shit to do, but fall in love with you, its a Tuesday afternoon, I ain't got shit to do but fall in love with you....
Love me better kiss me back listen more,oh.....love me better kiss me back listen more , love me better kiss me back listen more.....
The song ended and everyone cheered for me and Rich. I stood for the piano and hugged him tightly, he smiled and kissed my cheek. The whole class filled with oooo's and awww's.....even ms.French.
"Ask her out nigga!" Someone in our class shouted.
"Nah Imma wait for the right moment to ask this one out" Rich slid his hands around my waist, and the whole class filled with awww's again.
"Alright that's enough kids, let's get back to work." Laughed ms. French.

It was the end of the school day and I was about to walk home, but I saw something that caught my attention.......I squinted my eyes and I saw Frankie.....and Rich.....making out, across the school parking lot. Why would he do this to me? Not even 2 hours ago he's was kissing my cheek and giving me hugs and talking about how good he would treat me......I didn't even cry. I just walked past him and headed toward the subway......treading with thoughts in my head and a broken heart....
