Aleena
"You know Donovan likes you right?" My new friend May asked me.
She was a well-tanned white girl with bronze hair and blue eyes.
"I know."
"Then why don't you go out with him?"
Brittany came up and began walking with us. I had known her sense the
seventh grade.
"Are we talking about Donovan? I believe we are." Brittany smiled.
"No we're not."
"Well sense you brought it up-"
"I didn't."
"- He's cute."
"Not just cute but foyn. You'd better grab him before one of these
white girls do. And he has blue eyes." May said.
Brittany and I looked at May and laughed. "I think you've been around

"Me and Brittany just think the two of you would make such a cute
couple." We stopped at May's locker.
"That's not something I want right now."
"Gees Aleena, you might as well be a lesbian."
Brittany huffed and leaned against the lockers. "Girl please,
I've been down that road and there was a big fat sign that said
ROAD CLOSED. She redirected me so fast. Trust and believe
me she is strictly dickly."
I rolled my eyes. "I wish you would stop telling people
that."
"Sorry. I thought she should know."
May frowned. "Brittany, you're a lesbian?"
"No, I'm bi. There is a difference."
"She tried and I wasn't having it." I added. We started
walking again down the hall.
Brittany bumped me. "So...?"
