(Do you like the new cover art? If not I can change it back)

Same day as C A R N I V A L

Tati's house

Tati POV

Julian knocked on the front door and I answered the door

"You're actually on time?..." I said to Julian

Why wouldn't I be?" Julian questioned

"No reason... Where's your friend?" I asked looking around

"She's coming, Come on!" Julian said to the car that looked liked an Uber and the person who came out the car was Tahani!!!

"T-Tahani!!!" I said out loud which made both Tahani and Julian looked at me strangely "I mean hey Tahani long time no speak"

I've been asking for a chance to speak with her and Kaycee and here it is an opportunity

"Uh hey Tati can we hurry up and get started?" Tahani said as she made her way into the house as she already knows where everything is

"Um sure we're studying in my room since my brothers can be loud whenever they wake up from there nap" I said as Tahani was already making her way up the steps

"I'm guessing follow her?" Julian said as he makes his way into the house as well with me closing the door

"Yeah"

We made it to my room and we decided to just spread out on the floor as my desk is too small and my dad would kill me for having a boy on my bed

"So where are you both having trouble at?" I asked them as Tahani is not in my class for me to know and until recently I thought Julian was fine as well

"I did bad on the last quiz and ever since then I've been playing catch up" Tahani said

"What is the test on again?" Julian asked and I realized that this might be more work than I thought

"Mostly the last chapter we covered with some things from the beginning of the year" I told him

"Oh I zoned out that day we went over the chapter because of the game" Julian laughed off his mistake

"Okay well lucky for you two its not complicated just a lot of stuff to memorize" I said to them as Julian smiled and Tahani continued to get things out her bag "Let's get started!"

Studying went... well

Julian and Tahani aren't stupid they just either didn't fully understand what our teacher explained in class or they were too distracted to get the full information

"Alright lets take a break!" I said and as soon as I said that my mom came in

"Honey we got Pizza for you and your study group" my mom said "Oh hi Tahani!"

"Hi Michelle!" Tahani said happily to my mom as her issue is with me not my family

"Oh and Tati who is this handsome gentleman in your bedroom!" my mom said giving me a look which I could hear Tahani start laughing at
