Letoya P.O.V:

I texted mama Linda so that she would know that my aunt is supposed to stop by. I sent Da the screenshots and he just said cool.  First and second block went by fast. I knew something was wrong when passing Naomi in the hallway to third block. I laughed then walked into my class and waited for instructions from my teacher. She was a nice looking woman maybe in her late 20's early 30's. 

Just as she started to speak the class phone rang, so i took the opportunity to check my phone. Da texted me to  tell me he was in the guidance office and that Naomi was there too. So I figured the call was for me. She told me to go to guidance. I enter the office and see Naomi coughing like she was dying, holding a ball of tissue in her hand with what seemed like blood on it. I kept  eyeing the ball in her hand, it didn't look like blood. It looks like a marker colored tissue ball. 

The counselor looked at me and asked me if I had any problems with Naomi, I replied with honesty but respect. She asked me why and I just looked at Da.

V: Now ms. Winston  , could you tell me what your issue is with ms. Jaspers here?

T: Well, Ma'aam. It's not really a school issue, but.... She, Dashaun, and I were all best friends, then after Dashaun and I returned back to school, after the birth of our children I began to hear rumors one from her about a female student named Sasha or something. 

V: Continue.

T: Well, she said that the girl was telling people that Da was trying to get with her. Then it got back to me that She was talking bad about me and trying to take him from me and  saying i lied about what happened to me. So i confronted her in the hall yesterday and she said that none of what i heard was true. Then i received this screenshot confirming that what i heard was true. So i got home and went for a run, and on my way back she tapped my shoulder and my response was to turn around and swing but when i turned around she spit on me so i hit her  and then went home upon hearing an elder scream. 

D: Wait what"

V: So you didn't know?

D: No ma'am not about the running incident. 

V: I understand Mr. Jones, what happened this morning. 

D: Me and LeToya went to the bus stop and we started singing trey songz. Then Naomi walked up and started talking to me and LeToya started fussing her out,  that's all i can remember.

V: okay Mr. Jones,  what would you say your relationship with Ms. Jaspers is like?

D: There is no relationship,  she was once k6 best friend.  But no longer

After more questions we discovered that the reason we were i  the office is because Naomi said that we had been bullying her. We eventually caused her to cave and spill every skeleton in her closet. 

The second we got out of guidance, she started up again.  I wanted to beat her ass right there but Dashaun grabbed me.  So i just smiled and kissed him. 

When the day was over we decided to walk home.  We talked about how different things for us.  We got to the house and saw a lime green caddy parked out front.  My mind was elsewhere.  When we got inside mama was sitting  in the living room holding J,  so I looked at the other woman to see who she was. It was my aunt, but she looked different, like she was rich.

I finally spoke and hugged her, it had been so long. Of course she started asking me about my life. Then began the questions about modeling, I just kept shaking my head. I don't have the proper qualities to be one.  Just as the conversation began to get  to an intense point, Mama Linda's phone rang. It was the school, she was informed that I had qualified for a musical and performing arts program, and Dashaun's work has a chance to be put in a museum. She was so proud of us. As were we of each other. 

Then Dashaun looked at me and said that I should give  modeling a chance. I was kind of mad at first but i gave in and told him okay. I wasn't too happy about the idea, but my mind was focused on this music and performing arts program..... 

My aunt asked me if she could take a few pictures of me at the park. I went and changed into my tight, but appropriate sparkly red dress with my black flats. She giggled as I went into the bathroom with all of my hair products. I quickly put in my temporary honey blonde hair dye and waited for the color to set while i corn-rolled my hair, got the kids dressed in their mommy's favorite and daddy's favorite outfits. We  all took a family trip to the park about five cities over. the ride over my aunt kept asking what I was doing with my hair, I told her it was a surprise. Just because i'm not sexy that doesn't mean my outfit can't be. 


Dashaun P.O.V:
  

My baby is too fine, and she knows how to dress. I love it, but she just needs more confidence in herself. She is perfect, Tallish, slim, thick, beautiful caramel skin, with long freshly dyed honey blond hair that flows to the bottom of her back. She is a born star. It upset me that she didn't want to take this chance and be a model. She is an amazing musician, she can be somebody if i can get her confidence to the right level. 

We get to the park and unload the car, and LeToya sets everything by her favorite tree. When she and I finish taking her hair out its perfectly curly. Her aunt takes a few pictures of her by the tree and the wind blows her hair which makes her even more beautiful. She laughs as she catches my gaze. We all sit down and enjoy the weather, then take the kids around the park so they can experience the great outdoors their mother adores so much. 

LeToya P.O.V: 

After I got home I checked  my email, and the program had sent me information about auditioning it read: 

Dear Ms. Winston,

I pretty much screamed my lungs away, i was so excited. I filled out the information then went through my favorite playlist to pick a song. I was excited yet nervous. I decided it would be easier to pick the songs first, then work on the choreography portion.
