Chris POV:

I cant believe Renee that mad, got damn. The fact she left early from school and I had to have some random ass nigga tutoring me. I hope she's here today. Im so nervous to go down to her classroom and check. But I mean what's the worst she can do, call security? Fuck this bet I don't want my teacher hating me over it, I just needed to apologize thats all.

"Hey Chris", Monica said taking my hat off my head and putting it on.

"Hey".

"Whats wrong"? She asked with a confused expression on her face. She sat on top of the desk that was in front of me.

"Nothing", I lied, I added on a fake smile. 

"You sure"? She smiled grabbing my hand and playing with it. 

"Yea I'm fine".

"Well, okay. Anyways, I was wondering...if you're doing anything later on today"?

"Probably nothing, why?"

"I got tickets to the clippers game and if you want to come then you can", she offered.

"Yea sure." I'll be a fool to turn down Clipper tickets. 

"Really"? She said surprised. 

"Yea, I aint got nothing better to do".

"Okay", she smiled "I'll text you later okay". She said walking back to her seat.

"Alright".

"Okay class, our unit exam is tomorrow so make sure you all study. Many of you need to pass this if you want to make a difference with your grade this semester", Mr. Anderson announced. 

*Ding Ding*

"Don't forget to do your homework either, you're all dismissed".

I got up and grabbed my notebooks off my desk and walked out.

----------------

"Bruh she did not say that"! I laughed.

"I swear she did", Ty laughed.

"Nigga, I don't believe that", August admitted. 

"Right!" I exclaimed. The one thing that everybody should know about Ty is that he stay lying.

"How y'all gunna tell me. Y'all niggas weren't there".

"Ion have to be there I know yo ass lying", I argued. 

"I fucked her so wheres my money"? He held his hand out to us. 

"You aint getting shitttttt until I get proof", I chuckled. 

"Why y'all don't believe me", he snickered.

"Cuz you stay lying", I reminded him again for the ten-millionth time. 

"Hey Chrissy", Nicki cooed as she took a seat next to me.

"Hey baby", I smiled.

"This bitch", Ty mumbled, "Aug, you tryna come with me to get another pop?"

"Yea bruh". They got up and walked over to the lunch line.

"Chris we got to talk about that".

"About what"? I smirked.

"This isn't funny" she said with the straightest face.

"What"? I laughed

"Be serious, Ty and August comments are disrespectful I don't let my friends disrespect you".

Cuz most of them like me, "You know how they are baby. Besides, the only comments you should worry about are mine", I said putting my arm around her.

"I know" she smiled kissing my cheek "Be honest with me?"

"Yea?" I looked over at her. 

"Do you love me?" She quizzed, with desperate eyes. 

"Uhh-"

"Chris". Thank god she interrupted.

"Yes Miss. Walker"?

"You suppose be in my class room for tutoring".

"Yea my bad", I let go of Nicki and got up. "I'll call you later", I said to her.

"Okay bye". She gave a small smile.

I followed Renee out of the cafeteria, at least I tried to skip. I didn't want to come down here but I got no choice now. She didn't seem like she was mad anymore or she probably putting on an act. She opened up the door and let me in first, then closed the door behind. "You can start with the paper on your desk and I'll tell you what to do next", she directed. 

"Okay". I pulled off my book bag and walked over to the desk with the papers on it and picked them up... wait a mintue, "This ain't my seat".

"Its fine".

"Whats wrong with my old seat in the front"?

"Chris just sit down and do your work".

"No", I blurted. 

She got up from her desk, "Excuse me"?

"I said no Renee".

She took the papers out my hand and sat them on the desk, "sit down".

"Can we talk please".

She shook her head vividly, "There is nothing to talk about, so sit".

"Im sorry okay", I pleaded.

"Chris sit down", she said raising her voice.

"Do you forgive me"?

"I don't know what you're talking about", she said looking away.

"Look at me Renee". I gently grabbed her face and made her look at me. "Im sorry for yesterday, I shouldn't've did what I did Renee. If you want me to leave, drop this class, then I will. I don't want you to hate me".

"Chris...you do not have to do that, I still want to see you", she smiled. "And no, I don't hate you I shouldn't've acted like that, Im sorry too. But I did mean what I said about us."

"There was a us"? I smirked.

"No", she laughed. "You're never gunna give up are you"?

"Now you know I can't do that". I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Sit down and do your work", she said pulling my hands from her waist.

I chuckled and sat down. I was happy that she wasn't mad at me anymore, I guess the bet is back on now.
