I walked out of the school angry. Tonight was the night I was going to take out Melvin, but Ms. Aiko just had to ruin things. She always needed help with something. I groaned in aggravation as I headed towards the exit of the school. I threw my hoodie over my head and shoved my hands into my pocket.

"Yo August," A girly voice called my name.

I slowly turned my head in the direction of where I heard the voice. It was Ashley, Chris' old flame. I had seen her around school a couple times but we never spoke, we ain't have nothing to talk about. Her and Chris were actually dating until he dropped out, and after he dropped out they just stopped talking to each other.

Her big gold hoop earrings dangled from her small ears while she chewed viciously on a piece of gum.

"Wassup,".

Her posse of friends stood around her, gawking at me like I was God or something.

"Sup," I responded not really wanting to start a conversation with her. She ain't never tried to talk to me before so I didn't understand why she was parting her lips now.

"You still be chilling with Chris?".

I nodded nonchalantly. "Yea,".

"Tell him to hit me up when you see him, I gotta tell him something,".

"Aight," I mumbled as I turned away from her and started walking down the street.

"You need a ride?" She called out before I got too far.

I turned back around. "Ya gon give me one?".

"Where you headed?".

"Home," I retorted.

"Aight let's go,".

She nodded to her friends, pulled out her car keys, then walked the opposite way towards the student parking area. I jogged up to her.

"Chris still live over there?".

"Yea," I mumbled.

She stopped at a silver Chevrolet, unlocked the doors and hopped into the the driver's seat. I got into the passengers seat.

"When you gon get a whip?" She asked while she backed out of the tight parking space she was in.

"Soon,".

The rest of the ride was silent until we reached my apartment building.

"August, I gotta tell Chris something. But I don't know how he's gonna react,".

I looked over at Ashley, her milk chocolate complexion seemed to suddenly lighten and she kept fiddling with her car keys.

"Tell em' what?" I asked with attitude.

"I-i-i'm pregnant," She stammered. "Four months to be exact,".

My eyes widened as I looked at her stomach, she didn't look like she was pregnant. She did get a little thick, but she definitely didn't look pregnant.

"Ya what?".

"Pregnant August. It means I have a baby growing inside of me," She explained.

I sucked my teeth. "I know what pregnant mean, what dat gotta do wit Chris?".

She twisted her neck to get a better look at me.

"It's his baby,".

"Mane why ya trippin' . You an Chris ain't been together fa what, like seven months?".

"That's what you think August, me and Chris were still seeing each other after he dropped out," She admitted. "I wanted to tell him sooner but, but I didn't know how. I was nervous. I ain't think he would believe me,".
