Chapter 5

I hadn't seen or heard much from Julian since our altercation and I can't say I really care. He tried a few times to speak to me at school but I ignored him and he even tried to wait by where I usually park my car so I ended up parking on the opposite side of my building. I really had nothing to say to him and even if I did I probably wouldn't because my pride wouldn't let me. I Liked Julian and I can't believe he couldn't see that but honestly it was his loss, Heaven Cassanova loses sleep over no man. David and I have been getting real close. He was so sweet and caring and he always could spin my bad day into a good one and I loved that about him. I felt like I was falling for him but a little piece of me wouldn't let me fall for him a piece of me wanted Julian and I knew that. I was breezing through the school year nothing was really a challenge to me I had even applied to some schools for early admissions but haven't heard anything back yet. I was really on the come up at Riverdale, people started to speak to me more and I really started to get a feel for Atlanta I was starting to feel like this move wasn't in vain after all. School had been dragging all day, It was finally eight period and I was ready to get in get out go home and go to sleep. I liked this class because it was chill never really had much work and I had this class with David so I could be booed up all day. The only downside to this class is that I also shared this class with Julian and Brionna. As the thought filled my head I felt myself frown. Just the thought of them together makes me uneasy. I shook my head to snap myself out of those thoughts. Julian wasn't mine and why should I care what he does and who he does it with. He doesn't deserve me. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a pair of lips on my cheek I looked over and David was looking right at me. I smiled and planted a soft kiss on his lips. "Hey baby" he said excitedly. I blushed. "Hey babe" David was always so excited to see me. He made me feel like I was the most important part of his day and I loved it but as bad as I feel about saying this he's just no Julian. He looks better than Julian he treats me better than Julian but my brain is stuck at a mental road block. "How were your other classes" he questioned. I waited a minute before responding "they were straight I guess". "You guess? You always guessing some shit girl" he playful nudged me and I let out a giggle. "Boy leave me the hell alone" I said right before our social problems teacher Dr. Lutchen walked in. "Good afternoon class today is a special day, today I'm assigning you guys group projects" He chimed. I mentally rolled my eyes and groaned along with the rest of the class. Dr. Lutchen seemed smitten as he said "Okay everyone groups of three" David and I paired up but we couldn't find a third. Everyone else's group had three people in it expect mine and david's group and another group. Just as Dr. Lutchen was in the middle of asking for the groups without three people to walk up to the front when Julian and Brionna walked in hand in hand. I sucked my theeth and David looked at me questiongly. I wanted to kick myself right then and there because I know i just put myself in a hole. I spent months trying to convince David that I was over Julian and he just caught me pining over him. "Oh Good" I heard Dr. Lutchen say. "Mr. Epp's join Ms. Cassonova's group and Ms. James join Ms. Clarke's group." he continued. I groaned. Why the hell was this happening I would rather have Brionna's ass in my group than Julian. The universe was always fucking with me man. "I'm passing out your information packet and Rubric's you will have 4 weeks to complete this assignment and it requires extra time outside of school so I advise you all to mke arrangements to meet up with one an other. No slacking and not one person doing all of the work." After Dr. Lutchen finished speaking and arranging our desk in groups of three he left us to brainstorm. I was right in the middle of David and Julian and I know they sensed my discomfort. Julian broke the ice when he said "We can meet after school today, the quicker we get started the better and I guess we could meet at Heaven's house" I glared at him, if looks could kill he most certainly would be dead. Before I could protest he said "I mean it just makes sense because we stay in the same neighborhood and my house is going under renovations" I sighed. "What about David's house?" i questioned. "Well Heaven 2 out of 3 of us stay in the same complex so majority rules and We stay closer dude stays on the opposited side of town" he said. He had a valid point and it pissed me off everything he does pisses me off and I was even more pissed that David sat there and said nothing. He didnt even try to back a nigga up like what the fuck was up with that. "Fine, Yall can follow me home after this period" I said fully showing my annoyance. For the rest of the period I sat in silence. Julian and David were saying things to me and asking me questions but I ignored both of their asses. I had bigger fish to fry, I had to figure out how the hell to get out of doing this project
