Aaliyah

Today was friday this week zoomed by faster than lighting. And it was completely hell for me. Things in school weren't great. Tasha continued to say slick things to me and i continued to ignore her and all the rude remarks she said too me. Tasha was low and an attention seeking person. And letting her get too me would be like arguing for the rest of my life. She just wouldn't stop. So i had to be the bigger person in the situation.

But other than that it was still pretty stressing. Exams were slowly creeping up and studying was taking a toll over me. Erica and I have been hanging out more and i could honestly say that she's really a huge help.

And relationship wise me and lucas have been doing good actually. Well at least that's what i'm trying to tell myself. Lately he's been coming around the house more. And when he was here, he spent most of his time talking to my uncle. I honestly like the fact that they are close to each other. But it's starting too seem as though he's in a relationship with my uncle.

I shook those thoughts out of my head and headed out the school. Erica left early because she had an dentist appointment.

When i walked out i saw lucas car parked outside of the school. I sighed and got ready for his weak apologies. Me and him were actually suppose to go out Wednesday night but he bailed and said he had to work late for extra pay.

I walked up to the car and he looked up from his phone and reached over too my side to unlock the door. If anything lucas was a gentleman for sure. But i big dummy when it comes to respect.

Lucas pulled off and it was an awkward silence in the car. I wasn't going to speak becuase i felt no need too. I like lucas but if this relationship is gonna work i need to feel liked by him also. I'm young but i'm definitely not dumb.

"Aaliyah...baby" he said sighing as he pulled up to my home. I looked at him and looked back out the front window.

"yeah lucas?" i said with an irritated look on my face.

"I'm sorry" he said trying to sound sincere. But that was a fail.

I looked at him and just shook my head. This past week we barely exchanged words unless he came over to the house to talk with my uncle.

"It's cool, maybe we can just make up a different date" i said nonchalantly. I'm not a begger and i'm not gonna beg him for his attention. I'll cut off all ties with him if this becomes a regular thing. But i do believe in second chances.

He looked at me suprised and smirked. I was mentally rolling my eyes. niggas are so dumb.

But yet here i am in the car with the one i call my boyfriend. "that sounds great babygirl, i'll stop by tomorrow and we could get sum planned" he said unlocking the car doors.

"cool" i said before stepping out the car.

Lucas pulled off after watching me walk all the way into the house. I realized my uncle wasn't home so i didn't really have anyone to speak too. Not that me and him talk all the time. But we speak when we see each other to make sure everything is okay.

After being in the house for a while it was going onto 6:00 and the it was a nice day to go out for a walk. I always found myself going for small walks here and there.

I threw on my nike windbreaker since it was a little chilly outside and a pair of black leggings.

I walked out the house and walked for a few. I ended up at the small grass area a few blocks away from Mama's house and made a mental note to tell my Uncle that i was going to church sunday.
