"It has been ten months since August has been gone. I paid the money to bail him out last month but August had told me that he will be out next month. I tried not to let that upset me because I had to focus on prom and graduation. I am so excited and also because I am finally going to be finished with high school. Tomorrow me and Taylor are going to go, shopping and get ready for prom and graduation. We were going to go wjth Angel too, but she been acting funny lately.

"Today is the day! To day is finally prom and me and Taylor have to go pick up our dresses, go to the salon, get our eyebrows done, and get our nails and makeup done. Today was going to have to go smoothly for this all to work. I wanted August to go to prom with me but he won't be out until next month and plus the school wouldn't even notice he was there. So I just had to deal with just going with Taylor instead.

"Taylor and I are finally at prom and I am so happy! I went over to the food and drinks area and poured me some punch until I saw August walked through the door.

"August what are you doing here, I thought you wouldn't be out until next month!?" I asked excitedly.

"I wanted to surprise you thats why," he said pulling me into a hug.

"As me and August kept talking Angel and Chresanto walked toward us."

"So are you two a thing now, is that why you have been acting funny lately." I asked Angel.

"Yea, you jealous?" He asked.

"Yes, I meant to tell you Aaliyah I really did, im sorry," Angel said.

"First of all I am not jealous because I got August and second of all I can't believe you would date my ex boy friend behind my back, Angel." I said

"Bitch please, you didn't even like me and if you did you wouldn't have chose this nigga over me," said Chresanto.

"She ain't no bitch, so stop calling her that before its a problem," said, August.

"Man you ain't gone do shit, You might wanna watch your back because in the future you gone get whats coming to you, Angel lets go," said Chresanto.

"August and I avoided Chresanto and Angel the rest of the night. As me and August were dancing I wondered about what Chresanto meant about how he needed to watch his back in the future.
