"Ok so it is finally morning, and tbh It feels good to not be single lol. I did my usual morning routine including my makeup. Angel and Taylor just got here and I got into the car with them and we drove off to school. I was in a really good mood."

"Girl dang, why you smiling so hard," said Angel.

"Yea whats up with you?" said Taylor.

"Me and August are dating!" I said

"Aww yall gone be cute together lol," they said

"Hola everyone, today you are going to do this Spanish vocab assignment. I will choose your partners for you. Today we also have a returning student."

"Everyone this is Chresanto August, he was here last year but moved and now he is back, welcome Chresanto," said my Spanish teacher.

"My mouth instantly dropped, Chresanto was my ex boyfriend from last year, we had a two year relationship until we broke up because he had to move. My teacher gave everyone their partners all the girls had to work with a boy to prevent from talking a gossiping with other girls. I was the only one who didn't have a partner, I could just feel it in my gut that she was going to partner me and Chresanto together."

"Aaliyah you will be working with Chresanto and helping him get caught up with the Spanish assignments," said my Spanish teacher.

"Ok, ig," I said

"Chresanto walked up to the seat next to me and sat down."

"Hey, It's been a while since we talked," I said.

"Yeah it has, you know I missed you while I was gone, I never stopped loving you, I always and still look foward to seeing your smile everyday," Chresanto said.

"Ik me too, but I mo...

"Shh," Chresanto said cutting me off.

"I was hoping we could catch up and you know, maybe get back together, you don't have to give me your number, I still have it in my contacts.

"Before I could respond the bell had already rung and I just tried to avoid Chresanto the rest of the school day."

End of school day

"Aaliyah avoided me all day today, you would think she would be happy to see me again, she was so sad when I left and moved, then when I come back she doesn't even show a little excitment. As I went to my locker to get my stuff and leave, the principle of the school came up to me."

"Chresanto, welcome back. Since it's the middle of the school year, you need a tutor who can help you catch up once a week and I have the perfect straight A student to do the job, follow me." Principle Wayne said.

"As we were walking we walked toward Aaliyah, who was at her locker getting her stuff to leave. As we walked up to her I smirked, because I knew he meant Aaliyah was going to be my tutor once a week for the rest of the school year. This will help me and Aaliyah reconnect so she can be mine again."

"As I was getting ready to close my locker principle Wayne and Chresanto walked up to me."

"Aaliyah, your a straight a student, and me and the school staff chose you to tutor Chresanto once a week so he can get caught up on his assignments."
