~Friday Morning, English Class~

WILL POV—

I sat at my desk, eating a pop tart, listening to music as I waited for class to start. I got a text from Kani, saying that she was going to be running late. Great. Not only is the project due, but I have to practice and go over it with Leah by myself. This would be interesting.

5 minutes later, Leah walked in and sat in the desk next to me.

"Good morning." I said with a cheesy smile.

She looked at me and rolled her eyes. "Morning." She said, plainly.

"Ready to go over this project one more time, before we turn it in?"

"Umm..yeah..where's your lil bitch at?" She asked, unbothered.

"Why you always gotta call her a bitch? You can't be a lil nice? Damn." I took out a pencil.

"Fine, where that chick at. Better?" She asked with a fake smile.

"Yeah, I guess, but she said she's running late."

"Of course, she would run late on the day it's due. Typical bitc- I mean chick shit."

"Whatever, it's fine. We can go over it one more time, before we hand it in. So, is the order of fruit, vegetables, and exercise good?"

"Yeah, I still think we should've did our project on junk food, but whatever."

"Junk food? You and your junk food. Shame." I said, shaking my head.

"And what's that's supposed to mean?"

"Your ass is always eating some junk food." I stated, laughing.

"Haha! Acting like you know me, I don't even eat junk food like that." She said with a fake attitude.

"Your ass been eating junk food, since the first time we worked together."

"The first time we worked together? Oh my God, you remember that?" She asked, laughing.

"Hell yeah, I remember that. Who wouldn't?"

~Flashback~

We were in History class and we had a project about describing a president of our choice. We had to do a report and draw our own picture. The report was a breeze, since Leah did most of it. She was good with writing. It always flowed for her. As for me, I always got stuck, but I was a great artist, when it came to drawing and painting.

I had this awesome painting of Abraham Lincoln for our project and it was ruined by what? Hot Cheetos and cookie crumbs. Leah always had some type of junk food in class. We got a B- on that project because I couldn't get the crumbs off.

~End Of Flashback~

"Listen, I be hungry and chips and cookies are good and cheap." She stated.

"It cost our ass an A+!"

She started laughing so hard. " No, that ugly ass picture costed us an A+."

"Word? My Abraham was ugly now? That's crazy. Hurting my feelings and shit." I said with a fake, sad face.

"Boy, you don't have feelings, so shut up." She said, playfully, hitting my shoulder.

This was the first conversation we had that was pretty good, since the whole stupid fallout and all the other drama. It was a nice change of space for us. We sat going over the project, laughed, and joked the entire time. The class was getting ready to end and we had turned in our project. We started packing up our belongings, when Kani walked through the door.
