Diane's pov

We was all at the table, sat down. I was between Deja, and Ebony, and across from  Ciara and Jazmine. We all said our prayer and started to spend time talking and eating. I simply said nothing, everyone was in their own conversation.

"Diane I'm surprised you're still short! Girl, you lucky, even your freckles comin' out now." Nai'anna, "Talk about luck." I huff, shoving some ham and potato salad in my mouth.

"So, your senior year is near, any college options or?"  Nai, takes a bite of her food, with Ciara and Ebony joining in. "Well I'm really not sure, the one I wanted to go to cost so much. I've been applying for scholarships and stuff but, no response so far."

"Are your grades in check?" Ebony asks me, finishing off her section of turnip greens. I swallowed some of my iced tea down, out of all this time, I never had a single thought in mind to check my grades, I don't even know if I'm passing some classes or not. 

"Diane?" Ebony asks again, "Uh, I never checked?"

 "You never checked your grades? How could you forget about that?!" Nai almost yells, "She had Travis on her mind, see what happens when you let people in like that?" Ciara comments. "Well what are you thinking about doing? Still in that Astronomy?" Ebony looks at me nod, "Well what do you want to do in Astronomy?" she asks.

"Well I was thinking about NASA, but it just looks really hard to get there. Not to mention, a lot of math-that's what I heard." I respond.

"Well you're gonna have to get serious, I mean, you gotta be really smart to get that far" Nai lays back, "I think Diane already has it. She just doesn't care." "Well I kinda don't at the moment, excuse my sarcasm"
"You took any AP classes yet?"

"No and I don't want to, I...don't think I have that level of education yet"  I sigh, "Nai thanks for discouraging her!" Ebony looks at Nai. "I wasn't! Listen Diane, I know you can make it, things just take time at the most, and before you know it, you're right there." Nai assures. "*Ahem*, so you got his number yet?" "Nai!" Ebony glares at her.
"What? We're only friends! I really don't want to talk about him yet." I mutter, "So you do? Well, can you at least tell us what its like to go to school with him? I know he talks to you-"
"How would you know that?" I ask her, stuffing a mouth full of some pork roast, it had some fat on it but I didn't care, made it taste better.  "He literally talks about you on Instagram sometimes and maybe even Snapchat." Nai continues, while eating, "Didn't he shut that down like a week ago?" Ebony jumps in, "Yup"  Nai says back. Am I in a group of stalkers?

I swallowed my food down, almost emptying my plate, "Okay Diane! You can get yourself some mo' if you want" I hear Aunt Heather chuckling, and getting a few laughs from other. I smile shyly, as everyone went back to talking and chowing down on their food. I scooted out of my chair and went back to the kitchen. I came back with less, but of course got me a slice of the cherry pie, and went back to my chair.

 "....He literally said it on there Ebony! Fine I'll show you!!" Nai takes out her phone, I was chewing on some mac n' cheese, confused on what was happening. "Look what it sayssss!" I was focused on my food, and took a bite of the warm-hot cherry pie, feeling the juice burst into my mouth with the flakey crust. " 'Had the best sleep over, with this little one.'? That's Diane in the pic right there!" Ebony lowers her voice, "No this one!"

" 'Is this what really falling in love is like? Maybe Libra and Sagittarius really go together'"  I got into a choking fit on my food, getting slaps on the back from Ebony beside me, I grabbed my drink, still choking, and gulped it down sighing from relief. "I'm fine!" I sniff. The thought of lurking on instagram never really came to mind, IS THAT WHY EVERYONE KEEPS PUSHING US TOGETHER?! This. whole. time....

"That. Is. Not. Me!" "Well she has a point, there is more than-" "Guys!" I lower my voice, "I really don't want to talk about this anymore....maybe later?" I successfully end the conversation.
