Next day

"Alright projects are due next Monday and you have a test the following Wednesday."

I sighed and got my things togetha' to leave. Today was long as fuck and I'm mo' than glad that this was my last class. I couldn't even pay attention in my classes today. I walked out and made my way back to my dorm.

"Hey August!"

I turned around to see who was callin me and furrowed my eyebrows when I saw some girl walkin up to me.

"What?"

She smiled. "Um hey."

"Hello?"

"Uh I was wondering if you wanted to come to this party I'm having tomorrow night."

I shook my head. "Nah sorry I ain't gon be able to make it."

She pouted. "Aw why not?"

I became slightly annoyed and sighed. "Ima be busy tomorrow."

"Oh.. Ok then."

"Yea. I gotta go. Bye."

"See you around."

I nodded at ha and turned to walk away. I ain't never seen that girl befo' in my life. Usually I wouldn't mind goin to a party but I just wasn't feelin' it. Girls been tryna talk to me mo' now cause they been seein' I don't be around Skye nomo and I barely be around Ash.

They must think I'm available but I'm not and I won't be anytime soon. Once I got to my dorm I dropped my bag at the do' and fell face first on my bed. I been so tired lately and it's takin' a tole on me.

I got practice in a couple hours and I pray to god I be ok. Cause if coach even think I'm lackin' Ima be on the bench for the game on Saturday and Ion need dat.

As soon as I was bouta drift off my phone started ringin'. I smacked my teeth and pulled it outa my pocket. Ashley was callin'. I let it ring cause lord knows ion feel like talkin' to her right now.

When it finally stopped I kicked my shoes off and got comfortable. But once again it started ringin'. I was beyond pissed at this point.

She sighed.

Then go somewhere. I'm bouta go to sleep.

So your not opening the door?

Nah

But whyyy? I just wanna talk to you

Talk to me about what Ash? Ain't nothin' to talk about.

We never talk anymore. You just ignore me all the time. You can't do this when the baby comes you know.
