I layed in my girlfriend's bed, shirtless. We didn't do what you might think. We just hung out while I smoked and she would just read or play on her phone. We started dating a week ago. Her friend told me that she liked me and I asked her out.

When it got time for me to leave, her aunt would be home in a few minutes, I grabbed my shirt, kissed her, and walked into the empty street. Her neighborhood was so quiet, not like mine that always was on the news about shootings and robberies. People in my neighborhood smoked and did bad stuff. I didn't want to bring Ava into all of that. I always went to her house, never vise versa.

At school the next day, I skipped English and decided to go out back. There all the bad kids hung out and smoked or skated. That's where I spent most of my time.

Hailee, one of the popular girls, came out back and stood near me.

"Hey Mase."

"Don't call me that." Hailee didn't like me, but she wanted to date me for her popularity status. She always flirted with me and tried to convince me to break up with Ava. That wasn't happening anytime soon.

"Why not?"

"Because that's Ava's nickname."

"Oh, ew, don't mention that bitch." She always got offended when Ava was mentioned around her, she was just jealous.

"Well then I don't want to mention you." I turned and walked back inside, I guess I would just be late to English. Anything to get out of dealing with Hailee.
