*Penny*
The next day,Craig and I headed off to school,tired as ever. I had a couple of essays to turn in,and various assignments were handed out. I had a headache because I was sleepy.
Kara walked with me to lunch,talking happily about the summer vacation her family had planned.
"...and then the cruise is going to the Bahamas. I've never been before,so I'm really excited." She smiled,and I looked at her,nodding.
"Sounds fun." I smiled.
"What's wrong with you?" She asked.
"Nothing,just tired. We had a big barbecue for Ra-"
"Ooo,there's Jamal. I'll catch you later." She said,giving me a quick hug then running off somewhere. I chuckled,entering the lunch room.
I spotted Craig sitting at a table talking to some of his friends. I wasn't really hungry,so I just walked over to him and sat down,placing my head on his shoulder.
"Hey babe." He said,wrapping his arm around my waist.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey Penny." The boys at the table said. I waved.
"Okay,so y'all gotta come to Kennedy house party friday night!" A boy with pretty eyes and pretty teeth said.
"Everybody gonna be there."
"Sure. We can come." I smiled,and he winked at me.
"I got something to do friday." Craig said,clearing his throat a bit. I thought about how he said his last drop would be friday.
"Can I ride with one of you guys then?" I asked.
The one with the chocolate eyes and pretty teeth nodded. "You can ride with me."
"You sure you dont wanna come?" I asked,grabbing Prod's arm. He shook his head no,and I shrugged. Oh well.
"What's you're name?" I asked the boy,stretching out my hand.
"Elijah. Just call me EJ." He smiled again,shaking my hand. I nodded,then stood up,telling everyone bye. I was going to catch a quick nap in the library before my next class started.

*Friday night*
I looked in the mirror at my ripped dark jeans and plain red shirt,my hair down in curls. Prod didn't feel comfortable with me wearing a short dress if he wasn't going to be there,so I took his word for it.
I actually looked good,and even though I wasn't really dressed up,I felt like I was.
"You look great." Prod said,grabbing my waist and giving me a quick kiss before he left.
"Thanks. Be sure to stop by the party when you're done." I reminded him,and he nodded.
"Don't have too much fun without me." He winked,then have me another hug.
"I wont. Be safe." I told him,and he noddedz
He walked out the door,and I waited five more minutes before I heard the doorbell ring. I stood from the couch and opened it,to see EJ. He had on a button down red shirt and some dark jeans,just like I did.
"Okay so since when was it alright for you to steal my outfits?" I asked jokingly,placing a hand on my lip.
"Uh-uh boo boo. You gon have to change." EJ said in a ratchet tone,acting like he was flipping his hair. I laughed,and stepped outside,and we walked to his car.
