Nona's POV

"NONA GET UP! YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE! THIS IS YOUR LAST FIRST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL!!" Kris yelled shaking me left and right. I repositioned myself in an even comfier position and took a deep breath, ready to continue my wonderful dream.

Next thing I know, "BOOM."

"What the fuck K?" I retorted finally arising from gaining a terrible burn on my right cheek. "When did you even get here? What time is it?"

"It's 7:00 am bitch. You don't have time," she said rolling her eyes and getting comfy on the mini sofa in my room. I quickly got up and got ready.

My outfit today was very simple. I had on a cute black tank like top with a v-neck, and I paired it with some basic black jeans. My makeup was also pretty basic. As for my hair, I was having a little trouble but ended up with a cute one-sided type look.

We got to school right on time. But I got to my homeroom class pretty late. My monthly blessing had come unexpectedly and I had no pads or tampons on me. Great first day already huh? I made my way to the bathroom and quickly looked for coins in my backpack to put into the pad dispenser. Then after I finally found my coins, the dispenser jammed.

I basically ended up using folded toilet paper as a pad for the first 3 periods. Unfortunately, the nurse's office wasn't open so I couldn't rely on that either. Thank God I wore all black.

Kris' POV

At 4th period, I met up with Nona in one of the bathrooms on our floor. This was the only class we had together all day. For the first day of school, even as a senior, I came prepared with a lot of things, from hair combs, edge control, to pads and tampons. Just incase anyone would need anything. And, of course, someone did. Nona.

I looked at her extremely grateful face as I handed her my tiny purse. "Thank you sooo much K." she said quickly grabbing herself a few pads as she headed into a stall.

I nodded and chuckled, "Anytime sis."

Nona and I had been friends for quite some time now. We met in the 6th grade, and ever since, she's been my ride or die. When I say ride or die, I mean it. We've been through all types of shit together, shit no one but us would understand. I'm sure y'all have a friend like that.

"All done!" she said smiling as she exited her stall and headed to the sink to wash her hands.

Lunch was after 4th period, so we started making our way there. And then, someone grabbed me by my tiny waist and spun me around.

"Hey shorty." Jeremiah greeted with his deep ass voice. I looked up to him and smiled.

"K, imma meet you there, aight?" Nona said as she pointed two fingers to her eyes and back at me smirking as she walked away.

"Okay sis." I responded, looking back and rolling my eyes at her with a smile.

"Hey." I finally said softly to Jeremiah.

"So what's going on witchu?" he said to me.

"Oh, nothing really? You?" I answered.

We caught up on our summers as we walked together to the lunch room. Jeremiah was my first boyfriend. We had been paired up in Biology one year and after that, we just clicked. Became pretty close, you know, the stereotypical highschool love story.

Before we even made it official, we had a strong foundation on friendship. He wasn't like any of the phony boys in the hallways, he had a vision. He was mature. He was cool with Nona and the rest of my friends. He was someone who genuinely cared about me. I could honestly tell him anything, we just had that bond.

Standing at about 6'2, he was pretty fine too. His caramel skin was so perfect, his smile. Oh gosh, his smile. Always made me melt inside. Enough about him.

Nona's POV

"Look who finally made it!" Daxon, one of our close guy friends shouted across the lunchroom as Kris and Jeremiah approached our table.

"Leave them alone Dax." I said to him chuckling.

"Sorry we're late, we just wanted to catch up." Jeremiah said taking a seat next to Kris.
