High School

Chapter 13

(August Point of View)

August: So what did he say?

Arica: He told me about a job with a friend of his. Something about writing or being a blogger and getting paid for my time and hard work. I gave him my number to give to her. He gave me the lady's number and said he would contact her later today so she can set an appointment with me for tomorrow afternoon. I might call her just to make sure because I would like to speak to her about where we could meet. A coffee shop would be perfect, its not to business like but also not too unprofessional.

August: That's good baby girl I'm happy for you. I like what you said in class about the book too.

Class went on with us working on our projects for the week. They were due monday at the end of class. I was basically done with my sketch but Arica was trying to figure out how to make the sketch see different view points. She's a great artist she just lets her thoughts get in the way. Somehow she finally got her finished results and on my life that shit was crazy. She had a girl walking a tightrope and if she looked down there were shadow people waiting to grab her if she fell and if she looked up there were spiritual guiders waiting to lift her up and push her to happiness. It was fire asf maybe even better than mine. This girl really amazing and can't even see it. Class was over and it was time for lunch.

We had burgers with fries and side salads today. I grabbed a water and Arica grabbed herself a apple juice and water bottle. It's cute how we end up eating the same food everyday. We set at our normal table and I knew at any minute my cousin and his friends were gonna come. And here they goofy asses come being loud right now. Chris set on the left side of Arica, Blake set on my right, Josh was on his right, Mason was sitting on Chris's left, and Jake set between Mason and Josh.

I finally get my damn point of view mfs. Now y'all know ya boy gotta start trouble it's what I do. I'm bored anyway so why not pick at Josh real quick. He probably wanna know anyway.

Blake: Aye August

August: Wassup?

Blake: You and Arica a thing now?

Arica and Josh looked up so fast.

August: Nah baby gurh just a friend but we getting close (Licks his lips)

Blake: Oh ight bruh

Damn son the look on shawty face. She looked a lil hurt and for some reason ion like that look on her face unless I'm hurting her feelings. Josh on the other hand look like he was finna punch my teeth out my mouth. Now that nigga smirking and shit like he happy they not together. He must not see what I see. That dude August want Arica and she want him too. Josh been tripping a lot acting like he dont like shawty cause he with Star but I know he want Arica.

Arica look a lil tense so I poked her leg and smiled at her.

August: You good ma?

Arica: Yea why?

August: We still going after school right?

Arica: Yea you wont let me say no anyway foo

August: Ya mfing right i wont

We went to our last class which was Biology. We watched something about the review of the life cycle in details. It was a pretty easy day to be honest. Just then I remembered the doctor's notes we had to turn in. I asked Arica for hers to turn it in while she went to practice. After class we went our separate ways. I took the doctor's notes to the office and luckily they took em and put em in our folders. I went to my car and drove to get some food for me and Arica. I know she'll need some food before she gets to the police station. I know she nervous about turning him in and making the report but she needs to do it. I got us some chicken salads and wraps from McDonald's then drove back to the school. It was only four o'clock and she doesn't get out until four thirty. Time gone fly by before I know it. I was scrolling through Instagram when Arica called saying she was on her way to the front door. She got in the car and I gave her the food.
