Never As It Seems

Chapter 1: Getting Ready

May 5 2014

Westbrook High

French Class : 8:35

"Hurry up y'all , the bell just rung" I said as we hurried into the school .

"Damn , a bitxh can't run no mo . I'm gettin' tiiidde" Tokyo said stopping and resting against the wall.

It's the first day of the last month of school and we couldn't be late or our upcoming senior activities would be taken away. Of course, we had multiple chances but I didn't want to take any.

"Well get like Kevin Gates and don't get tiidde cause we already 5 minutes late. You know Ms.Rivers about to start sweeping the hall" Erin said . "we would've been early but somebody had to make a scene at Chick-Fil-A because your cinnamon rolls didn't have that much icing"

Every morning for the last year has been the same. Erin drives down the street to get me then we go get Tokyo. We stop at Chick-Fil-A and get breakfast then go to school .Every once in a while we switch up places or the person who drives but its pretty much been the same.

"You not funny and so what you know I like-" Tokyo started to say until I cut him off.

"Shut up and let's go"

We walked to class and knocked on the door

" Bonjour mes amours "

"Bonjour Mrs C" Me and Erin said. Tokyo always being the mess that he is greeted her with a "heeyyy girl"

We took our seats and Mrs C started to talk

"Glad you finally made it and just before the big news, I guess I'll start my introduction over "

"C'mon Mrs. C get to it, you ain't gotta start over" Troy said .

" Boy hush . Now ,Bonjour mes amours once again"

As Mrs.C started to talk and Tokyo tapped me on my shoulder

"What" I whispered

"Your man looking good today you better watch out" he smirked

"Boy shut up!, who do I need to watch for ?" I said laughing

"uh ME . Im jp girl but for-real, them lil hoes been feeling your man up. I guess they trying to get close before the end of the school year. You know he going pro"

"You already know he is" I said as I looked over to Troy smirking "but I'm not worried about them hoes and you know it"

"The end of the year is here and so are the festivities-"

I don't care about anything she is saying right now, I just want to hear about the trip to Paris. Its the end of the year and we haven't been doing shxt in class and I'm glad. You just don't know how ready I am to graduate but anyway. Tokyo and Erin are my best friends, my r.o.ds , my nigxas, my everything . Best friends is probably an understatement they're more like family. We've been friends since the beginning of high school . Through all the bullshxt , fake friends and more bullshxt they were the ones still there when the smoke cleared out and I wouldn't switch up nor trade them for anything in the world.

"About four months ago I told you guys to start preparing for this trip financially and to ask your parents. NOW . The trip to Paris is finalized and soon we'll be on out way. All we ask of you is to pay half of the flight and for whatever you want . Everything else is covered . Atlanta to Paris is 1,440 but we're only asking for 500 which isn't even half. Get it too me by next Monday along with your forms. Also going on this trip means you wont be able to do some of the other trips because of when we leave and return so you have an option.

500 is reasonable and isn't really anything to me, not because im rich or anything but because I have a job and im the only child. Ive been saving and saving since I found out about Paris , its so romantic and im looking forward to spending time with -

"wassup baby"

"Hey Troy" Troy is my sexy ass boyfriend of a year. He's a football player and he just signed to UCLA and had tons of scouts looking at him. His future is promising but our relationship is a promise that probably wont be kept. Im just riding along.

"wanna go out for lunch, im leaving at 11"

"yeah, you know where ill be when youre getting ready to leave"

"alright, ill come get you"

"ok you guys remember forms and money by Monday , tomorrow we'll go over things we'll do and the way the upcoming weeks will work pertaining to graduation and finals. see you tomorrow"

Class went by fast today but shxt I am not complaining about anything. Since its the last month of school seniors get to leave early and teachers arent really teaching.

"I don't know about yall but im ready for this trip. They say Paris is the city of love but its going to be the city of quickies when I get there cause aint no love in me"

"Toyko you are nasty but im ready too I need a lil mini vaca"
