she loves me, she loves me not

Chapter 38: Choke me

Early chapter y'all 😍😍 sorry this one is bad...really bad😭.

the days rolled by and the movie marathon came around, all the inmates roaming in the yard dragging their blankets and mattresses behind them trying to find the perfect spot.

"you wanna move now? it's only 4. The marathon doesn't start till, like 6"

Flaca says as she looks out their cube watching the inmates go out to the yard.

"nah, I ain't gonna wait 2 hours in the blazing sun. I got a good tan last week so"

Maritza says in a sassy way as she played with a strand of her jet-black hair.

they were both sitting on Maritza's bunk with their back against the wall that divided the cubes from one another. 

"you went to commissary?"

Flaca asked staring at the wall opposite of them.

"oh fuck"

Maritza says biting her lower lip.

"are you serious? you told me you'd go."

"we'll go now"

"all the candy is gone by now dumbass"

Flaca says trying hard not to smile.

"We both got candies in our cupboards"

"but those are period candy"

Flaca says letting out a scoff.

"I'm sorry!"

Maritza exclaims as she thought Flaca was mad at her.

"It's fine I can't have candy anymore anyways"

"yeah. Hey didn't you have to tell me something? Mac said if you asked me that night? you told her no cause we were still talking, remember?"

Maritza says now shifting her body so that she's fully facing her not-yet-offical-girlfriend

"oh shit, yes thanks for reminding me. Ok so you know how you were a huge nerd right?"

"still am, but yes"

"and you know how I have no idea how to study"

"mhm"

"and you know how I need to study for my masters"

"yes..."

"I was wondering that since you have masters in sociology and you specialize with kids and most kids have trouble with studying, like me. I was wondering if you could help me study"

Flaca says scratching her neck in embarrassment

"like a tutor?"

Maritza asks her eyebrows furrowed in confusion

"no, no it's just that I get easily distracted like one second I could be focused on what I'm doing the next second I'll be away with the fairies. Just to help me stay on track, Mac told me that you might've studied about techniques or some shit"

"yeah, yeah I did. Ok. When do we start?"

"umm, I'm still waiting for Caputo to give me the notes and Mac is still begging him to get me a room cause of the whole concentration thing, so maybe in a week?"

"ya, sure. You're getting a room?"

Maritza says looking at her surprised.

"hopefully"
