"Are you sure Cali?" Mrs. Matthews asked as she stands by Cali's bedroom.

"It will be terrible, but I need to face it. Jade will pick me up, so you need not worry," Cali replied.

"Call me if you need something else," Mrs. Matthews said.

"Mom, I'll be fine," Cali said as she stopped on what she is doing.

"None of these things happened if I'm a better mother," she said.

"We can only move forward from here. My breakup with Michael is not your fault," Cali said.

"I guess Jade is here," Mrs. Matthews said.

"Can you please open the door? I'll be out soon once I get my stuff pack," Cali said.

"Ok," she said.

"Good morning, Mrs. Matthews," Jade said.

"Good morning Jade, she's at her room," she said.

"Hey, Jade!" Cali said.

"You're ready?" Jade asked.

"Yeah," Cali replied.

"Well, you girls enjoy your day. I need to get ready for work," Mrs. Matthews said.

"I'll catch you later, Mom," Cali said.

"Later baby," Mrs. Matthews said before going to her room.

"Let's go," Jade said.

Jade and Cali head to the parking lot where Jade's car park.

"Is everything ready?" Jade asked as she starts the engine.

"Yes," Cali said as she put her beg at the backseat of the car.

"Here goes nothing," Jade said.

"Jade, thanks for picking me up today," Cali said.

"Cali, I'm making sure you're attending the class today. You've gone for weeks. We need to talk too," Jade said as they entered the classroom.

"I must make up for the classes I missed," Cali said.

"Ms. Williams, I'm glad you're here today," Professor Bolton said as he entered the room.

"I apologize, professor, for my absences. I'll try to make up for it," Cali said.

"You need to Cali, finals are around the corner," he said.

"I'll do my best," Cali said.

"That's my girl," he said.

"I'll give you my notes later so you can catch up with the lecture," Jade said as the professor started today's class.

As class ends Cali and Jade moved to the clubroom to meet with the other members.

"Cali, your back," Kelly said as she watched Cali and Jade come.

"Hey Kelly, how are you doing?" Cali asked.

"Are we supposed to be the one to ask you that?" Arthur asked.

"I apologize for my behavior," Cali said as she looks at the members.

"We don't need your apology when you did nothing wrong," Arthur said.

"We want to learn what you thought," Charlie said.

"How am I supposed to tell you?" Cali asked.

"Maybe you should tell us what happened," Carter said.

"Michael was telling everybody that he broke up with you because he found that you were a whore," Jade said.

"So that's how," Cali said as she sat on a chair.
