"Why you lookin' at me like that?"

Dri laughed. "Like what? I'm just watching you do your little morning hygiene routine."

"Why you ain't sleep?"

"I don't know. My body is used to getting up at this time, I guess." She shrugged.

I finished washin' my face. "Come to school then."

"I can't, Dre." She whined, callin' me by my middle  name. "You know I can't go back until next Monday."

I poked my bottom lip out. "I know, I know."

"Aw, you miss me?"

"Of course. Everybody sayin' so much shit about you as if they know what you got goin' on."

She chuckled. "I heard I was pregnant."

"Mane." I shook my head, laughin' wit' her. "Some people ain't got nothin' betta' to do than sit around and try to piece somebody else life togetha'. Why you can't just be on vacation or somethin'?"

"We're in high school, hun. No one ever worries about themselves in high school. You should know, remember when people thought you-"

I cut her off. "Aye, shut that shit up."

"What?" She snickered, tryna be funny.

Wasn't nothin' funny bout it.

"Babe."

"Wassup, ma?"

"I'm going to go help my mom with breakfast, I'll call you when I finish."

"Aight, tell Kenz to bring me some food."

She gave me a look. "As if Kenz is actually talking to me."

"Y'all still ain't talkin'?"

"She still isn't talking to me. I try to talk to her, but she just basically runs away from me."

I noticed the difference in the way she was talkin' that her attitude went down, so I dropped the subject.

"Aight, ma. Just call me back when you done."

"Okay."

I ain't gon' lie and act like the situation wit' Dri hasn't been botherin' me 'cause it has. It really be all I think about, but I try not to show her that. She been handlin' it alright in a "I want to act like it neva' happened" typa way.
