It was the first day back to school and I didn't miss it one bit. The waking up at 7 in the morning was a trip. I'm used to sleeping late and waking up whenever I wanted. I looked at my phone and sent Khia a good morning text message. I made it a habit every day to send her goodmorning texts because that's what boyfriends do. She instantly replied back to me with a heart emoji and sent me a picture of her getting ready for class. I'm glad at least one of us was excited to go back. Getting out from my bed, I dragged myself to the shower and showered. Getting out, I prepared my fit for the day. The first day of school was always a drag and everyone had to wear their best outfit on the first day but I wasn't into those myths. I put a pair of dark washed jeans and a Cali blue v-neck shirt. I put my diamond studs on my ears and packed my backpack with the stuff I think I would need including my MacBook. I looked at the time and it was about time for me to go. Since ebony and Khia lived together, Khia would just ride with her for class which was cool with me. Pulling up into the school parking lot, I got out and instantly people crowded me. Old cats I ain't seen in a while dapped me up, Juan was definitely there and we chopped it up for a min cause we haven't talked since I left for Dominican Republic. There was some new faces I'd seen. And the girls was banging and bold af. One of em asked me for my number but I had to let her down real quick before Khia got here. I scoped the halls for her and didn't see her. So I checked the cafeteria and there she was looking beautiful as ever with her ripped jeans and half top revealing her belly button ring. She rarely wore that thing that's why when I seen it she looked extremely hot. She walked towards me and we kissed.

"Well looks like they never broke up",a random groupie said walking past us.

Khia rolled her eyes and focused her attention back on me.

"I totally forgot to give you my new locker number babe I'm sorry."

"It's cool baby. I actually gotta go to the office and pay for my parking before these crazy cops give me a ticket",I told her.

"Oh okay. I'll come with."

On our way to the financial office, we got all types of looks. Not sure if they was bad or good because these were new faces I seen.

"That'll be $86."

I pulled out my wallet and gave her a hundred. She gave me my change and my parking card. I gave the change to Khia In case she needed it.

"$86 is a lot don't you think?",she told me.

"Yeah but if I get a ticket everyday of the week for the rest of the school year, my license would probably be suspended."

"True. Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah babe wasup?",I said as I followed her to her first class.

"Wanna go apartment hunting with me?"

"Yeah no problem bae."

"And there's something else",she said stopping me.

I leaned up against the wall near her classroom as some of the students began going in.

"I was thinking about what you said."

"Baby I say a lot of things",I said chuckling.

"About us moving in together."

"Yeah what about it?"

"I think it'll be best if we do that."

"Why a change of heart? I hope I didn't do anything to alter your decision. I'm fine with whatever you wanna do."

"It's just want to see you more",she said. At that moment, I knew where she was gettin at. Ever since I got out of jail, she's been at my side and I guess she's already so attached to me she doesn't wanna lose me again.

"Your reasons why we shouldn't move in was valid though. We basically shacking it up and that's not right."

"But babe. It's 2018, who doesn't do that?"

"Ight. We'll have to sit down and talk about this some more bae, I'll holla at you later",I said planting a kiss on her lips. Once she was settled in, I made my way to my first class. My boy Juan wanted us to shoot some hoops at the gym after school with a couple guys so I texted Khia to let her know and to meet me there after she's completely done with her classes.

While sitting in the front of the class, my mind was running a mile a minute. I ain't paid any attention to what the teacher was saying because I expected it to be the same ol same ol. They had out the syllabus and talk about it with an addition to their rules of their own. I got a million things to think about than some rules these teachers tryna enforce. My restaurant was running but not as much as I would like. I never used to care much about this family business but it all caught my attention when I had the idea of putting the club in there. Ever since my dad took back the business while I was away, he never opened up the club because I guess that wasn't his thing but once I get my mind straight, ima go hard at this business and hopefully lift it off the ground. Full blown business mode.

After my two classes, I met Juan at the gym and scoped the bleachers to see if Khia was there but she wasn't yet.

"Man heard you got locked up over the summer. What's up?",Juan said placing his duffle bag on the bleachers.

"Man too much happened over the summer",I said not giving much details.

"You know that criminal justice thing ain't gonna work out for you now, cause you got a criminal record",he explained.

"Nah they working to clear my name cause I ain't had to spend no real jail time."

"Oh okay. I hope so. Glad to see y'all still together tho?"

"Who?"

"You and Kyra."

"You mean Khia. Yea we still goin at it strong",I smirked.

"You hit that yet?"

"Been",I said laughing.

He laughed and passed me the ball.

"She look like a Virgin man ion know. Thought you was scared to touch her."

"You must not know me then",I boasted.

"She want us to move in together",I said dribbling the ball across the court.

"Word? Don't do it."

"Why?",I said shooting a 3 pointer.

"Once you move in with her, it's a wrap. They gone want you to step into full husband mode. They gone start naggin about dishes and cleaning the house and they gone want a ring on they finger."

"There ain't nothing wrong with that if you planned on putting a ring on it to begin with."

"See? That's yo problem. You wanna wife them too soon, then once you do, they cheat on yo a.."

"Is that what yo ex did to you",I asked cause this nigga talkin like he been through some things.

"Hell yea. Never doin that shxt again. Ima play the game til I die."

"So you gone be alone til you die. Is that what you sayin?"

"Man you know how many hunnies would want to just keep me company?"

I died laughing at my boy.
