Wednesday
Paris's POV
I was in class but as the lecturer kept talking my mind was honestly off somewhere. I was trying to get it together and I haven't seen Lucky or Jacob since the weekend. What I can't get over is Idris kissing me like that and the fact I imagined it was Jacob. It.was.not my intention to picture him but I felt like my mind was making all the decisions rather than me. I wanted to kiss Idris but obv my imagination is against me at this point and I'm just... I don't even know anymore
I had missed calls from everybody. My girls, Lucky and Jacob but I've been in my own world
End of POV
"Class dismissed"
Said the professor. Paris snapped back into reality as everybody was upping to leave. She packed everything up and was just leaving until Professor Percy called her back
Paris: "Professor..."
Professor Percy: "Paris... How are finding college, this year with your classes? Are you satisfied with them?"
Paris: "Yea very much. Why, do you ask?"
Professor Percy: "Well your grades aren't that great. I've been teaching you for a while now and your grades seem to be dropping so I have to ask... Is everything okay, outside of college?"
Paris: "Yeah everything's fine sir" [She frowned]
Professor Percy: "Look Paris... You're a bright, intelligent student. I know this because I've been teaching you since you started college. You were so driven and passionate about studying in my classes. You were focused. Now... you barely have the effort to show up for my classes. And it's only recently you've been coming to my classes but... *Sighs* Look I don't want to keep you here for any longer but I want you to take my classes more seriously. Don't waste your intelligence. You have it you just chose it for whatever it is you find is more important than my classes"
Paris: "I'm trying my best, Professor" [She said innocently]
Professor Percy: "Try harder. This is your last year and you deserve to graduate like all the other students in this college"
Paris nodded and left the study room...
Paris's POV
So now I have like... multiple things on my mind at once and I need a coffee or some sort so I went over to Grub'Stop
End of POV
She was waiting in the queue until she heard Jacob and Lucky. She turned and saw them sat at the table. She waved and went over
Paris: [She smiled at them both giving them a hug and stayed with them]
Lucky: "What's going on, you ain't answer my calls?"
Jacob: "Yeah, I've been tryna call you too. Wassup wit you? You okay?"
Paris: "Yeah just a lot I'm dealing with right now"
Lucky: "I mean, you gon say wassup witchu?"
Paris: [She shook her head] "It's just... My professor is concerned about my progress. My grades are low at the moment and I don't know just a lot..."
Jacob: "Word? Why didn't you tell us sooner? Or Lisa or sum?"
Paris: "Speaking of Lisa, Jacob. Lisa quit. She's not counselling in LA anymore. She's moving cities..."
Jacob: [His mood changed and face dropped] "You serious? When did she quit?"
Paris: [She shrugged] "My last session with her, Saturday... Why?"
