It's been a few days since Nicole got shot and she's still in a coma. She can feel everybody but she just can't wake up. Right now it's about 1:30p.m. and Asia is sitting in class.
"I can't wait to graduate", Asia said.
"Only one week left", Jayla replied. "But how's Nicole?"
"Good, she's strong. She got this"
Jayla nods and smiles.
The bell rung and Jayla and Asia got their stuff together and left the class room.
"You gotta work tonight?", Jayla asked.
Asia sighed, "I lost my job. They called me this morning"
"What why? ", Jayla asked.
"Said I was tardy too much. But it's not like I been late lately", Asia said. "But I don't care, they been getting on my nerves anyway.
"Dang, I'm sorry girl", Jayla said.
Zay walks over to them. "Hey Asia", he said.
"Hey Zay", she said looking down.
"You good?", Zay asked.
"Yea", Asia looks at Jayla. "See you later girl, Josh waiting for me outside"
"Okay. Bye"
Asia walks away to head to the front of the building. She didn't have a last period because her teacher didn't require them to go since it's the last week. She saw Josh's car and got it.
Josh kisses Asia on her cheek. "Hey baby"
"Hey", she said looking out the window.
"You okay", he asked.
"I'm fine", she said with a smile. "How was your day?"
"Good", he said. "How was yours? You didn't talk to that nigga did you?"
"Nah", she answered. "But my day was boring, I'm just ready to see my little sister"
Josh told Asia to keep her distance from Zay because he thought that their relationship was too close. Besides, he didn't like Zay and he knew Zay didn't like him. Asia listened because she didn't want anything to happen to him...or her.

Later that day after seeing Nicole, Asia and Josh got something to eat at a burger place. Asia got fries with a cheeseburger and Josh got fries with a bacon double cheeseburger.
"So... what you plan on doing after you graduate?", he asked.
"Ya know, I never sat and thought about it. I have so many things going on. I mean like I used to but lately I haven't", she replied.
"Well.. what is it that you like to do?"
"I like to dance, I love music.. I don't know"
"Come on.. what's your biggest dream", he asked with a smile.
"I don't have one"
"Everybody does. Listen mine was to be a football player... but I found out I can't tackle for shit"
Asia laughed and Josh smiled because he loved to see her laugh.
"Okay, okay... I always dreamt of becoming a singer", she said.
"Singer?? You can sing?", he asked.
"Well my mama and Jayla said I always had a voice on me", she said.
