Monday, walking into Marks High School, I was all smiles. Reese and I had been texting back and forth over the weekend. It was simple stuff, but it was cute stuff. We had a connection that was growing. I couldn’t wait to see him. He wasn’t in the front like usual, so I went on to PE class.

In class, all the girls were mad because we had to run around the track. No one wanted a zero, so we had to get running. I looked at my phone and debated texting Reese. I decided against it. I just planned on seeing him after class. I locked the phone, locked my locker, and took off to the track.

Reese ran through my mind even when I was running. When I saw him, I was going to give him a kiss no matter who was around.

Finally, class was over, and we all needed a shower. I was the first one in. I had a really bad habit of taking long showers. My sisters always got on me at home for doing that. I really couldn’t afford to do it at school. For one, other people were waiting to get in the shower, and two, I had to hurry up to get ready to go on to class before I was late. However, for some reason just thinking about Reese made me take a long shower anyway. When I turned on the water, I leaned back. I put my hand on my head and just stood there. I heard a click, and when I opened my eyes I realized time was passing and I was hallucinating.

My sister yelled for me. “Girl, you better come on!”

“Alright, Yuri. I can’t believe you let me stay in there that long.”

“I didn’t know if your cycle started or something, girl, and you needed to wash up.”

“Hahaha…”

“Hurry up!”

When I dashed out of the shower and went over to the lockers, Trevy was standing there. I had my towel on all tight. I needed her to give me some privacy, but she would not move.

“Trevy, I got to hurry up and get dressed.”

“This won’t take nothing but a second.”

“You heard my sister. She needs to hurry up. We’re going to be late,” Yuri told her.

Trevy held up her finger. “Real quick.”

“Okay, okay. Yes?” I said.

“I just wanted to apologize to you. I feel bad that I was so rude Friday. I really wanted Reese back, but over the weekend I had a chance to think about it, and I’m the one who messed up our relationship. He deserves to try something new, and you seem to like him. So can we be friends?” Trevy stretched out her hand.

“Friends is a stretch,” Yuri said to her, sounding like me.

“Yeah, I don’t know about all that,” I said, holding tight to my towel.

“I just don’t think it would be wise for us to be enemies,” Trevy said coldly, like there was a double meaning with what she was saying.

“Can we just take it one day at a time?” I asked her.
