"Oh my gosh i cannot believe we are graduating tomorrow!" I squealed at jenn , Janiah, and marti. I couldn't wait bout time we got out this stupid ass school , i mean it taught me a lot of life lessons but I'm glad it's over with now. Jenn and sekani broke up a few weeks ago. Sekani was a cool nice guy and all but he wasn't treating jenn right all the way , he wasn't showing enough attention acted like he ain't care and wasn't putting his all in it like how jenn was. They both made stupid decisions but it's over with now so. Janiah and Ryan are still going at it , man i don't know how Ryan does it Janiah is a handle full like a bad hand full bitch is irritating as hell. Hey, as long as they good I'm good. Me and marti we still standing strong also we have our difficulties but we are still together as always. Lamar and kanya still going at it , kanya and i made up we cool now and Lamar is still chill. Everybody is just good even though it's been weird and tough times everybody is still good. The girls and i were in jenn room right now . We all became close and best friends i mean we were all close but we are besties. We were looking at colleges and talking about ours or the ones people want to go to. We are all pretty successful man my baby got a basketball scholarship and Janiah got into a college for meds same as jenn. For me i got a scholarship from JROTC. It was training for military but I'm not going to the military i just wanted a free college tuition. We are all doin good in our lives so far and i couldn't be any happier. My mom and dad are on the right track well they been but they finally got everything together. "Girl I'm ready to leave man" jenn said. "No cap bro eagles landing high school was ass" Janiah responded tossing purple grapes in her mouth. "Shit that school still is ass" marti said. "I mean it's not that bad but the teachers be trippen but we made it out so i could care less" i said snatching the bowl of grapes from Janiah. "Are we all still going to keep in touch?" I asked. "Duh we gon be in college but we gon still keep in touch Wynter" Marti said. "Random question but how are you and marti gonna maintain this relationship?" Janiah asked. "Yeah are y'all just going to be long distant or something or take a break and then after college get back together?" Jenn asked. I pondered about what they were saying. What are we going to do when we start college? I asked myself over and over playing the same question in my head. "We will make something work out but until then we just gotta keep close" Marti said. "Girl shut the fuck up" i said laughing.
We spent hours At jenn house doing stupid shit. It was about 9:45 pm and we got school tomorrow well just graduation. "Alrighty bye" bestie i told jenn and gave her a hug. We walked out to my truck driving home. "Baby?" Marti asked. "What's up?" I said driving. "I got uh a problem..." she said. Catching my full attention. "What happened?" I asked her. We pulled up to a red light, perfect timing. "I have been thinking like what do you wanna do when we start college?" She asked me. "I mean we can always still be together why? You wanna break up or something?" I asked starting to get defensive. "I mean that's up for debate do you want to? How are we gonna see each other or anything ?" Marti asked questioning me constantly. "I'm not gon lie i don't know but you would rather breakup than make some work or fix it?" I asked. "No but it's hard I'm tryna see you and everyday imma miss you i just i dunno baby" she said throwing her face in her hands. "Listen if that's what you want to do then I'm going to listen to you , ok" i said sad but comforting. "What happens if we find new people?" I asked. "I doubt it...." she said trailing off. The cool air breezing through the car carrying the silence. I felt the lump is my throat starting to form , the walls inside closing up as if I'm loosing breath, my voice going out. I felt the tears build up my to eyes but not streaming down my face yet. Red light fuck , "you ok Wynter?" She asked. Great. I opened my mouth but no words came out. "Baby? Look at me" Marti said concerned. She grabbed my chin forcing me to look her way. Making eye contact with the beautiful light eyes , her jaw line clenching in She does that when she is curious or worried about something. The light tinted green i snapped my head back and drove off to my house. I walked in and ran up stairs. "Hey marti" my mom greeted Martiana. "Hey Mrs summer" she responded in a hurry. "Wassup champ" my dad said to marti giving her dap. I slightly closed my door because if i slam it my parents not even gon see I'm not ok they just gon curse me out then ask what's wrong and shit. I threw myself on my bed crying my eyes out , why? I don't know if me and marti are going to be together and like i love her. Love makes you do stupid things and like if she left me then i just wouldn't be the same. I'm not tryna stop her from being successful but i just want my baby... my thoughts kept scrambling throughout my head. "Wynter come on" Marti said coming into my room. "If you being successful means leaving me then go" i said in my pillow. "Baby how bout this." She said catching my attention. I sat up and wiped my eyes. "Lets try this long distance relationship Ight you never know if it can or can't work out and if it becomes too much we will tell each other Ight i love you I'm in love with you ok just relax and breath imma always be with you mentally and physically" she told me by pulling me into a hug. I felt the lump go away and my voice came back fully. "Plus we graduate tomorrow then we got a couple months before we have to leave , just worry about now ok i promise imma always be here" she told me. I just nodded my head and pushed her down on the bed , my face hurt i need to rest especially with my baby.
