"Eric please don't be late picking me up Okay?" I said as I grabbed my book bag, kissing his lips softly and getting out of his car.

It's been some months since I've moved to California with Eric and I must admit, it has been great so far.

Of course, we have arguments because he's quite the charmer with the ladies or groupies as I should say, not spending much time with him because studio time is demanding and their album Straight Outta Compton just came out last month so their success has been through the roof. But he is serious about this music career so I cut him some slack.

These guys have been making a killing on the radio and I must say I am a proud girlfriend alongside Rih and Kim. 

"I'm not man have a good day I'll be back at 2" He smiled at me as he pulled off.

I waved as he pulled off. I sighed as I started walking the campus to find my class. My first class of the day was Microbiology and I must admit that I'm nervous. I know nobody on campus and I can't find the building where my lecture will be held.

I swear I circled the campus for about 15 minutes and I began to grow frustrated. I see a group of girls standing near the student commons. I approach them and smiled.

"Hi umm I'm looking for the biological science building"

The girl was smoking a cigarette. She exhaled before she answered me.

"Just walk straight and it will be the tall building on your left" she smiled as she pointed towards the direction of the building.

"Thank You" I smiled and walked in the direction she pointed. 

After walking for about 5 minutes, I finally entered the building and entered room 104- Dr. Thyme Microbiology 101 lecture. As I opened the door to the lecture hall I frowned as everyone focused their attention on me.

"Fuck" I mumbled as I slowly trotted down the steps looking for a seat. I heard some people muttering and snickering as I walked down the aisle.

I found an open seat all the way at the front of the class. I watched Dr. Thyme a brown skinned slightly grey hair man with a strong Jamaican accent eyeballed me. he stopped me before I sat down.

"Madam you are 20 minutes late to my lecture. Can you explain this?" he raised an eyebrow at me.

I bit down on my bottom lip before speaking. "I-I umm had trouble finding the building. I am a transfer student from New York University".

"I will let you slide this once Ms...."

"Umm Shayla Grant Dr..err...Sir..." I was completely fucking embarrassed as I heard some giggles and snickering amongst my colleagues.

"Ah yes Ms. Grant. Tardiness will not be tolerated. As I said before I excuse you this once but if there is a next time you will not be let inside my lecture hall. My time is valuable. Now take your seat madam" he said as he turned his back to me as he continued with the topic.

I sighed and took my seat and began taking notes.  I can tell this is gonna be a long day.

| Eric|

We were on top of the world right now. Our album released and we were big as ever. The bitches, the acknowledgement, the respect we were receiving all over from California to the East coast was fucking dope.
