Imani's P.O.V
I passed Jazzy and Lexy their plates of pancakes and eggs and then took a seat in between them with my plate of food. We all began to chow down on the food that I had just prepared before school. Jazzy was taking Lexy to her first day of dance and vocal classes and even though I hated that i'd have to miss it, I had my first day of classes as a Freshman at NYU. I had prayed that there'd be a tour of the school or something before the first day, but the plan was to show up and go to the auditorium so that the Dean could run over the school rules and other necessary things. I was wearing a slouchy British flag tee shirt, red skinnies, dark blue Toms, a dark blue beanie, and a British flag Adidas watch.
I was excited to be going to my dream school and even more excited about the fact that i'd be going to college, but don't get it twisted. I was still depressed about everything that had happened with Daniel half a month ago. Sometimes i'd think about the fact that i'd have to raise my child alone or everything that we'd been through together and cry until I fell asleep. Jazzy always reassured me that everything would work itself out and always remained by my side like my best friend, but Lexy on the other hand didn't even know that I had a boy friend and they never even met each other before. She was too wrapped up in her own on line classes and dance classes to have even noticed that I was in mourning. She wasn't there to have seen the bad break up between Daniel and I and hadn't heard much of it at the apartment. Barely his name.
The texts and calls from Daniel never stopped and his public announcements about how much he loved and missed me were perpetual and exasperating. By now i'm sure the whole world knew about our Titanic relationship. He always left voicemails about how he needed me, but majority about our child. I would only press delete and keep moving with my life hoping that he'd stop eventually and move on as well. I wanted him to be happy, no doubt about it. I still loved him and I always would love him, but I wanted him to forget about me and his child. Keep doing his music and making his fans and family happy.
I had been seeing my new OBGYN - Dr Pridemore - every two weeks to check on the baby and making sure that I was doing everything right and the baby was functioning and growing properly. In another four weeks they'd be able to identify the sex of the baby and I was definitely looking forward to that. A baby bump had not revealed itself lately, but it was supposed to be really noticeable in about two months.
I tossed my plate into the sink and then sipped out of the orange juice carton when Jazzy wasn't looking. I placed it back in the refrigerator and then wiped my mouth with a paper towel. I grabbed my Jansport book bag and threw it over my shoulder. I grabbed my keys and phone and shoved them into my pants pocket, waved to Jazzy and Lexy, and then walked down stairs to my car. I tossed my book bag into the seat next to me and then plopped down in the drivers side. I started the car and then backed out into the street and then turned onto the main road.

When I arrived at the school it was around eight am and there were tons of other Freshman walking across campus with their large book bags and pony tails bouncing full of happiness and wonder. I slammed my car door shut and pulled my book bag high on my shoulder. I walked through the main gates and then fast walked to the welcoming committee table. I watched as a cheerful blonde walked away quickly allowing me to walk up to the table. The table was covered with papers, maps, and pamphlets.
"Name?" a peurto rican girl with dark brown, curly hair asked me.
She was sitting behind the table with her hands clasped together and a pen in hand. She had on the school colors - royal blue and golden yellow - and a pin on her shirt with her year on it. She had a snake bite piercing below her bottom lip and light brown eyes. She probably stole all the guys with eyes like that.
