REDEMPTION

Ava

Excuse me can I sit right here I heard a soft voice say

Sure I mumbled chewing on my slim jim.

I looked up to see this pretty brown skin. She was so focused on her work she didn't even notice I was looking.

I like your tattoo I smiled

Thanks but it's not real she said smiling a little .

What's your name I asked

Geneis she said

That's pretty I'm Ava I said

Thanks I like your name too she said

No talking the teacher yelled

Everyone looked at her then started to laugh.

I shook my head as we both joined in with the class

--------

What period you got next I asked

Uh gym she said

Oh I got math I yawned

Lucky you I'd rather have math all we do is sit around and do work sheets asking about boring stuff

I laughed shaking my head

I gave her my number before rushing down the hall. I sucked my teeth once I seen a sub sitting at the desk with his feet kicked up on the desk.

I just put my head down putting my hand on my stomach. After everyone got in the class he gave us a work sheet then sat back down.

I did my work sheet then turned in.

I face timed Milly for the rest of the period. She claimed she was sick so rah let her stay home.

I slipped my phone in my pocket grabbing my stuff I put it in my locker meeting Genesis by the gym doors

I'm so hungry she smiled
