Perception of Trust

☆ SIDENOTE: I'm gonna need y'all to forget what you've heard. I'm not following a realistic timeline anymore, its getting too hard to match things up (💀). If I say it's  May and it's snowing, then that's what it is. If I say its December in one chapter, then it's March in another, best believe they time traveled cause I'm getting tired of trying to keep track of everything.

With that being said, they may or may not graduate. Just bare with me and go with the flow bby... thank you! DON'T FORGET TO VOTE & COMMENT!

A week and a half later.

"You think we can go out some time next week? Maybe to see a movie or eat or sum? I'm not trynna rush our relationship or nothing, but I want our bond to keep growing."

I chuckled. "I know what you mean. How about that rink that's a few minutes off campus?"

"Ew, nah. Hella people from school be there and ion feel like seeing all em faces when I'm tryna have fun. How bout Roll Arena?"

"That's like twenty five, thirty minutes away..."

"Yeah. You talkin like you're the one that's finna drive us up there."

I laughed realizing what he said and he followed up with a chuckle.

"And This ain't no date so you should invite Jay and yo girls."

"Why'd you single out Josephine like she's special or something?"

"Cause that's my mans, she ain't like the rest of y'all." He jokes.

"What are you trying to say, sir?"

"Nothing," he laughs "is it a move ot what?" He asks.

"It's a move." I confirm.

"Alright" he responds obviously smiling on the other end.

We exchange our goodbyes and hang up.

Things between Tyrese and I have improved immensely since he confessed about impregnating Kennedy. We've been on cordial terms since. I think the main reason why is because we both went to talk to Kennedy for an hour the day after.

So far, no one in Kennedy's family knew or knows about the pregnancy and Tyrese said it would be best to keep it that way for a little bit. He planned to tell them after we graduate a few months from now. I advised against it.

It would be better to give them all the bad news at once, instead of handing them one heartbreak at a time, but I didn't voice my thoughts to him.

"Hey Shawty." I hear Josephine call.

I ignore

'Shawday!" I ignore her again.

"AYO SHAWDAY!" She screams.

"WHAT!?" I yell back, as if she's one of my annoying siblings.

"Can you come here?" She yells.

"You're the one that needs me, bring your Call-me-Joseph-today, Call-me-Jay-tomorrow looking ahh to me!" I reply.

She pops into my room and walks up to me.

"I already told you what it is with my name, you're just trying to annoy me cause you want my attention." She claims with a contagious smirk.
