Adonis Cambridge

I was on my phone in Mr. Martin's class, listening to music before class started. My phone buzzed from a text message. I smiled at the name that appeared on my screen.

Kitten😻: Good morning, Adonis! How are you?

Me: Good morning, kitten. I'm good and you?

Kitten😻: I'm alright, a little sleepy... How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that?

Me: You can tell me a million times, but I'm still not gonna listen.

Kitten😻: I can't stand you.

Me: Yes, you can. You're still talking to me, aren't you?

Kitten😻: ...I hate you.

Me: Lol, love you too, sis.

Kitten😻: I'm gonna die of boredom in study hall.

Me: Then go to Mr. Corey's or Mr. Roopchand's.

Kitten😻: My teacher wouldn't let me leave unless Roopchand came and got me himself.

Me: Ha, you make it sound like he'll pop up and do that.

Kitten😻: Nah, he has done it multiple times before. He would open the door enough to stick his head in, search the room for my friend and me, and say, " Let's go."

Me: Um...

Kitten😻: Yes, I'm serious. Don't matter if it's February. My ass still has to study for that test in May.

Me: It's gonna be okay, kitten. You'll do great.

Kitten😻: Says you! I'm trash at the tests he gives out in class. It's gonna take a miracle for me to pass this AP test!

Me: I'm sorry, I couldn't help but imagine how your hair would fluff up because of how frazzled you are, like a cat lol.

Kitten😻: If I could hiss at you right now, I would...

Me: This is why I call you kitten.

Kitten😻: Ugh, whatever...

Me: Say, will I be able to see you in 7th period?

Kitten😻: Who do you have for 7th period?

Me: Mr. Corey

Kitten😻: Ohhhhh. Yea, you'll see me. Besides, I have this big ass piece to finish, and I'm already falling behind on my concentration. Cries

Me: Like I said, you'll do great.

Kitten😻: Glad someone believes in me. I also want to show you a new tattoo I got

Me: ...since when you got a tattoo?

Kitten😻: ...yesterday...

I don't care what people do to their bodies. If you knew the consequences, then that's on you. I hope Jaime didn't do this impulsively or got something that looked cool. She has way more substance than that. My phone buzzed again.

Kitten😻: I feel that you're upset with me. Just don't think I did this because it's cool. I've been thinking about this and designed some of it myself. I will be wrapped in bandages for a while, but I did take pictures of it when I got it done. If you don't want to see it, I completely understand. Please don't be mad or look at me differently...
