Finally im in high school and I'm loving every bit of it. Me and odell go go the same school. We been friends since 5th grade. Our parents let us do everything together. Go on bike rides, go to cafe du monde, and we even use to have sleep overs. But he sleeps in Prince room. I'm a junior in high school just like Odell. Prince is a senior ready to leave. I'm proud of him. I was walking the hallways looking for Bella.

"Laura!" I heard someone called me. "Laura!" I turn around to see Odell running to me.

"Hey Odell" he hug me.

"Guess what"

"What?" I narrowed my eyebrows.

"I past the test, I pass junior year" he jump up and down like a little girl.

"Ok Odell, that's nice" I smile.

"You don't look happy for, are you jealous" he poke my nose.

"I'm very happy because I pass junior year too!" I jump up and down with Odell.

"Next year, ima grow my hair and dye it brown at the top" he said so excited. "All the ladies gone be begging for me" I frown a bit thinking about what he said. I really like Odell. Not as a friend, as a boyfriend. He's very sexy and handsome. Him and Ashanti getting very close also. Maybe because she see me and Odell always together.

"Aye Odell" one of my bullies walk up to Odell. I hide behind Odell for cover. The reason why I'm always bullied, is because I'm ugly.

"Back away Kendrick"Odell said.

"I'm just telling you that your friend here is a whore like always" he laugh with his guys. "Bye slut" they walk away.

"Why they don't like me" I sigh.

"He's jealous because your my friend and your very pretty, he just want a quick fuck and that it's" we both laughed.

"Odell I have to tell you something" I looked very nervous telling him that I'm leaving back to Philadelphia for vacation.

"What's up" he smile.

"I'm leaving back to Philly for vacation" I said.

"What? Why you have to leave now, I was gone invite you over to a pool party"

"I know I'm sorry, but it's my dad, he wants to spend time with me and Prince"

"I understand, you have to see your dad" he frowned. I touch his face lifting it up.

"Ima miss you tho, just text me" I smile. He smile at me.

"Sure, lets go to lu..." He was cut off by Ashanti annoying ass voice.

"Odell! Where have you been, I been looking for you" she kiss his lips. "Away slut" she grab Odell hands leading him to the cafeteria. Can't wait to leave.
