Aaliyah spent the next week to herself. She went home early on Monday and Wednesday, then stayed after to finish up assignments early on Tuesday and Thursday. She didn't know how she was going to avoid everyone on the weekend yet. She had been giving Chanel excuse after excuse and what made it worse she was actually showing up for school on time all week.
The bell rang.
"So what you doing today nerd ass bitch?" Chanel turned to her. "Damn are you mad I'm trying to get shit done?" "Aaliyah you finished an 8 page paper that was due the day before the last day before spring break and we have 3 weeks left." "Okaaaay?! Early bird gets the money, step your game up." "Girl bye."
They both slid out their desks, gathered their things, and walked out.
"So are you gonna talk to me? Hang with me? What's going on?"
Chanel was starting to make Aaliyah feel guilty and it made her sick because she never felt guilty about anything. Not fighting, not playing dudes, nothing.
"I just wanna be to myself, it's not you-." "Oh my fuckin God stop, you sound gay now, and it sounds like I'm on dick." She laughed and Aaliyah joined her. "Girl you know I love you." "Ughhh stop." Chanel put her hands over her ears.
"No but for real you look cute today, you look like you supposed to be going on a date instead. Who did yo hair?" "Bitch what the fuck is a date? I only go on those with Benjamin and you know damn well I'm the only one who touch my head. I was practicing in Shanice shop."

"And your face?" "Ok Shanice did that before I came here today but I just wanted to see what the hype was about." "Bitch.... there ain't no hype on make up its been a thing you just wanted to get cute stop lying." Aaliyah bust out laughing. "Bro shut yo punk ass up.
They walked out of school. "I guess I'll see you when I see you den lil Mexico." "Bye crazy girl."
Chanel started towards her mom's car.
Shortly after, Tink pulled up and Aaliyah slid in the car.
They talked about school and Tony until she got to her house.
"Aye you know that Bianca chick?" Aaliyah slid out the car and closed the door.
"That girl that be with Justin? Naw."
"Aw. Thanks for the ride." Aaliyah slung her backpack over her shoulder.
"I don't know what's going on but one, your brother is worried and two, whatever is going on it's happening for a reason. Just do you."
Aaliyah nodded and backed up so Tink could pull off.
