A FEW DAYS LATER

*Chris's POV*

After spending damn near a week in the hospital, they finally released me. The day I got out was the happiest day of my life. When they rolled me outside, I hopped my happy ass out the wheelchair, and fell to the ground, mainly because I forgot my leg was broken. How could someone forget they broke their own body part? Only my clown ass. Anyway, these past few days, I've been confined to my dorm. The only time I leave is to go to class, and I come straight here. Myra and Trey have been trying to get me to come out with them, but I say no every time they ask me. Don't get me wrong, I missed spending time with my friends, but I just don't wanna go out in public with my wheelchair. For some reason, I just feel like I'm in everyone's way, and I don't like the attention it's giving me on campus. Everyday I roll out with it, someone is always asking "what happened," "do you need help" or the infamous "you're that guy that got hit by a car last week". Yeah that's a good way to be remembered. As I'm finishing up a small paper for one of my classes, Andre steps in the room.

"Wassup Chris?"

"Hey Andre. Are you just getting in from class?"

"Yeah...." he says as he sighs

"Whoa, what's with the long face?"

"We have a project in my psychology class coming up."

"Is that all?"

"No. I got paired with your friend Regina."

I put my head down on the desk and laugh my ass off.

"Man that shit ain't funny bruh!"

"Oh hush puppy. If it were me, you would be doing the same thing."

"And the bad thing about it is it's worth a big portion of our grade."

'Damn, looks like you're stuck. Doesn't she have a crush on you?

"I think she do."

"Man go ahead and give that girl some play."

"Shut up Chris."

While I'm laughing at him, there's a knock on the door.

"Andre can you get that?"

"No...hop your three legged ass up and get it yourself since you wanna laugh."

"Petty...."

I get up from my desk and prepare to take that long hop over to the door.

"Sit down kid, I'll get it." Andre says as he laughs

Andre answers the door,and Myra and Trey are on the other side.

"Heeeeeey boys!!! Chris what are you doing?"

"Homework...."

"Why the hell aren't you dressed?"

"Dressed for what?"

"You were gonna come with me and Trey to get something to eat, and then we were going to karaoke night."

"Ok have fun."

"Uh no nigga. You said you were coming."

"When did I say that?"

"Yesterday." Myra says showing me the text message

I pause for a minute and think about the conversation I had with Myra yesterday. I actually remember telling her and Trey that I would go with them.
