"There is nothing interesting in this library, we get paid to keep these seats warm," this job literally was killing me. Dex was just spinning in circles of his chair.

"At least we get paid, besides we work the night shift, unless you want to walk around this entire library st night," I shook my head I don't play with that creepy shit, "I suggest we just stay here and collect the check then."

"Fine, so what have you been up to?" Might as well make small talk.

"The usual, just my literature class is killing me with all these papers." Dex was studying to be a journalist... with the political climate like it is now... the demand of the job had skyrocketed.

"What about Kelly?" He stopped spinning in his seat now. "You were in love with her when I first met you what happened?" I chuckled, but he didn't find it amusing I think.  He just stared. "Dex... did I say something wrong? Did something happen?"

"No nothing... I just been busy that's all..." he broke that awkward silence.

"Ok... did you meet another girl your just not telling us about?" I joked.

"Eh..." he averted his eyes from me.

"I'm just gonna drop this subject." His shoulders immediately relaxed. Who ever this girl is... she sure is a secret.

The rest of the time passed by slowly. We played uno, mancala, even I spy. Nothing suspicious happened as usual, sometimes I would hope for you.. just for entertainment.

"You ready?" Dex asked we just clocked out for the night.

"Yeah I am," I started giggling.

"What's so funny... is something on me?" He started looking down at himself.

"No it's just Ryan said he'd come and walk me home tonight, its freaking 2 AM." His face was a blank expression.

"I bet..." he basically whispered. He saw my face etched in confusion. "I mean you know he really likes you so I wouldn't be surprised.. that's all."

We made our way out of the library. "Yeah I know he does... "

"How do you feel about him? You guys have been getting closer." I couldn't answer that, a part of me wanted to protect my heart but another part of me wanted him, just to see what it would be like at least. But I wouldn't get into my fantasies, the place we are with each other is perfect, but each day the boundaries of our friendship became more blurred.

"We are best as friends.." Dex's face visibly eased. "You think I am making the right decision?" I needed conformation, I wasn't to sure of myself these days.

"I think you know what's best." Was his only response. Thats wasn't the answer I wanted to hear. We made it to the outside of my door. The room was usually silent when I got there but I could hear noise tonight.

"Kelly is up, maybe she's stu-" Dex turned to me when he heard what sounded like moans, more like a cat dying. What the hell? I immediately opened the door. "Oh hell naw!" Some pervert was choking Kelly out on the bed. I was about to rush over and throw him off. Wait... she's liking it... a lot. I knocked on the edge of the bed. They immediately separated... a bulky black guy jumped off of Kelly and scrambled for his clothes I didn't get a good look of him till he looked up.

"DEON!" I screamed what the hell was happening. I turned to Dex he was just as shocked as me.

"This isn't what it looks like!" He said putting his jeans on, then shirt.

"What?.. you was just molesting my friend... and she was enjoying it. It looked like sex to me!" I was just pissed because of how he talked about me and Ryan. Always saying I'm betraying my race and, we weren't even together... let alone having sex.

"Look.. don't tell anyone. This stays between us," he pleaded. I looked passed him at Kelly to see what she would say.

"What he says... it's just sex nothing more... nothing less," Kelly looked between me and Dex, who at this point looked unbothered with the whole thing.

"Okay just go... I need to get the smell of sweaty balls out of this room." Deon strolled pass me and out the room. "Dex you can go too.. me and Kelly need to have a discussion,"

"Okay...text me later too" he hugged me then left. Kelly looked confused by our exchange.

I placed my book bag down next to my bed. "Kelly."

"Spare me the lecture. We were horny teenagers having fun." She got up and placed her bra and panties on.

"When did it start?"

"2 weeks ago. We bumped into each other.. argued... then before we knew it we were in the back of the library getting down to business." So that's what Dex meant.

"It's just that? Sex?" She nodded. "Okay just don't end up pregnant, I don't need a baby by you two.. walking around here," she giggled and threw a pillow at me.

Ryan's POV

I'm visiting my dad's office today. We hadn't had time ti catch up so were headed to lunch. Meredith is new secretary greeted me, she had to be at least 10 years older than me but didn't look a day over 25. I waited in the chair that sat across from my father. His desk was a mess, not usually like him. This campaign must be getting the best of him. I decided to help him out and get his bearings in order.

I went to the other side of the mahogany table. Just a bunch of statements, some speeches he's working on..... and that name scribbled on the paper Annie. I picked the sheet up, it was like connect the dots all across it. Names that I haven't heard of, towns that I've never visited before. I continued to look at the paper thats when Mya's name popped up, a line connected her directly with Mya with a question mark beside it that said 'daughter?'

"Whats going on here?" He knew Mya's mom? But Mya said she never met her parents. I took a pic of the graph, and hid it back in the stack of papers, as soon as I did my dad came walking in.

"Son...what are you doing?" He gave me a quizzical look.

"Oh...just seeing how it felt to be behind this desk, I'm going to be in your shoes one day." I smiled, he seemed to believe the lie.

"Well... I guess its always good to get an early jump on things..." He went to retrieve his jacket, "Lets get out of here, I heard of this place called chipotle... apparently everyone is eating it." I chuckled

"Yeah everybody.... if you are talking to about every college girl in the world." He shrugged his shoulders and walked ahead. I pulled out my phone to text Mya.

Ryan: We need to talk. - 2:30 PM

Mya: why? whats up?- 2:30 PM

Ryan: I'll come to your dorm later tonight...best if we do this in person.-2:30 PM

Mya: Ok.... 2:31 PM.

"Boy hurry up," my dad screamed at me. I threw my phone and my pocket and hurried behind him. I needed answers, someone is keeping a huge secret...
