"Umm...nothing. Were actually getting along again. I guess." I said resting my fingers on my singed skin

He didn't say anything he just stared up at the ceiling.

I finished my hair deep in thought at wether he believed me or not. At this point it didn't matter I was going to prom with Gerald...I'm some what dating Joey life is great.

After while I wrapped my hair and climbed into bed. I rested my head on his stomach while the rest of my body rested on the bed.

"Goodnight bestfriend."

"Night Lo."

I woke up an extra hour early in an empty bed, the window all the way open, and a smile on my face.

I took a shower and got dressed in the restroom due to the huge mirror that complemented my outfit. I walked back into the room seeing Kwon on the fire escape on his phone.

I leaned out and began to speak.

"Kwon help yourself to anything in the fridge, mom will be home later on today, and I'm about to go." I said as I looked at what was on his screen

There was a picture of him and the girl from the party.

"Eww..." I thought to myself

I patted his leg before turning to leave out.

He jumped up snatching my keys before I could and walked out to the car. He drove me to school humming a small tune.

"I'll be back to pick you up." He said as I hopped out

"Bye K." I waved

"Bye bestfriend." He said as he pulled off

I walked into first period and there was already someone sitting next to Gerald. I searched around for another seat. Gerald caught my eye and I gave him a very small smile them made my way to the open seat.

I tapped my foot and studied the clock. For days on end Ms. Led talk about prom and graduation.

I saw Gerald stand up and walk over. He stood in front of my neighbors desk, soon enough she got up and moved away.

He filled in her seat and looked me over a few times his smile widened each time he looked me over.

"Damn London." He said licking his lips

"Hi Gerald." I said as my cheeks flushed

"You with me today. Okay? Okay."

"Yes, daddy." I joked

His eyes widened and a smile spread across his lips.

"Okay, mommy." He said

Gerald sat on the bench with me between his legs laying my head against his neck and chest.

I fed him grapes from the cafeteria while he rested his head in his hand that leaned against the table.

"You such a big baby." I said laughing

"I'm your big baby." He said in a duh tone
