Khalid felt a slight confusion when the math teacher entered the classroom. The problem was that he had already covered this topic before, and it was intended for first-year seniors. Just as he was pondering this, his phone vibrated, signaling a new message. It was from Zach:Zach:😂😂Realization dawned upon Khalid. Zach had intentionally registered him in a lower grade. Khalid clenched his fist in frustration.Khalid:Damn it! I swear, I'm going to get back at you!Zach:You can do that later. For now, just keep an eye on her.'Keep an eye on her'? Khalid couldn't believe what Zach was asking him to do. He wasn't some sort of guard or watchman. However, a mischievous smirk appeared on Khalid's face as he thought about how to give Zach a taste of his own medicine.Khalid:Well, she is cute though. Why didn't you mention that she's black?Zach:Don't even think about hitting on her.Khalid:Hmm, I can't make any promises. ********"Try to escape now," Zane said, a sly smirk appeari
"Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that. Are you done packing your bag?" Jason asked Annie."Yes," she answered."Then come with me." Annie walked to her desk, picked up her bag, and followed Jason."So, as you can see, I'm very bad at chemistry," Jason said."I figured," Annie replied."So, I was hoping you could be my chemistry tutor. I'll make it up to you, I swear." Jason begged with puppy eyes. He couldn't afford to fail the upcoming chemistry test, as his father would kick him out. For Annie, this was a dream come true. She couldn't believe that her crush was asking her to tutor him."Sorry, what did you say?" Annie asked, wanting to hear him say it again just to be sure."Can you please be my chemistry tutor?""Sure, but you have to promise me that you'll be serious.""I promise. Can we start now? I don't want to waste any time.""Oh, okay.""Then let's go to my place," he smiled. Annie just stood there, still in disbelief. She pinched her cheek and felt the slight hurt sensa
Ariana sat with Jeff, her concern evident in her eyes. "So why did you hide everything from me?""Well, I never wanted to be recognized by people just because I'm my father's child. I wanted to be known for my work and who I am.""I understand. Are you okay?""I guess I'm okay.""I can't imagine how you feel right now, with all the pressure. Jeff, you can talk to me.""It's my fault that he's in the hospital. I wasn't there for him and my brother. I left because I wanted to live independently on my own, and this happened," Jeff blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall."It's not your fault.""It's my fault, and I don't know the slightest thing about running a company. I left everything for my kid brother; he's never going to forgive me," Jeff sobbed."Jeff, look at me. Jeff!" Ariana tried to get his attention. "It's not your fault, okay? I know it's going to be hard, but you can learn how to manage your dad's company. You're smart, and I know you will figure a way out," Ar
it was a cold chilly Saturday morning. Ariana, a young black girl of 16 left her home early and headed to her workplace. She delivered milk and newspapers in the morning. After that, she worked part-time at a coffee shop. In the evening she worked at the gas station. Evening came quickly and she rounded up her day's pay and happily headed home. Ariana had to work everyday and even during school days just to raise money to pay her mom's hospital bills.Her father died recently. While he was alive, he made sure that her brother and her attended the best schools in the city.After he died, her mother fell ill and her brother had to drop out of school. She has been working her ass off just to provide for her family."Mike I'm home!" Ariana announced as she opened the door and walked inside.Her little brother Mike ran to hug her. "big sister Ari!" he shriek excitedly. Ari hugged her little brother tight. She squatted down and kissed his forehead."How're you doing buddy?""I'm fine"."Did
Monday arrived quickly. Ariana got up early in the morning around 4am. She made food for her family. She arranged her books in her beg as she left home. She has delivery to do before going to school. With quick efficiency, she delivered milk and newspaper until 7:30am. However, as she glanced at her watch, a look of realization crossed her face. She was running late for school. "Shit!" Ariana exclaimed under her breath, feeling the pressure building up. She swiftly finished her remaining deliveries and rushed to school. She arrived at 8am, class would start any minute from now.In a hasty manner, Ariana ran to the hallway and she ran to her locker, she grabbed some textbooks from her locker. She wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead with an handkerchief and took a moment to tidy herself up, fixing her skirt and adjusting her shirt. Once she felt presentable, she locked her locker and headed towards her classroom.Just as Ariana was making her way through the hallway, a group of gi
Ariana woke up in the morning and continued her usual routine of delivering milk before heading to school. As she entered the hallway, she was shocked to find numerous photocopies of the letter she had written the previous day scattered everywhere. The letters asked for donations to help her family, and Ariana quickly realized that Nora must have found her letter and spread it around.Feeling a mix of embarrassment and fury, Ariana was approached by Casey and her gang, who walked over with a hint of mockery in their demeanor. "Here you go, charity case," Casey sneered, tossing a thousand-dollar bill at Ariana. The other rich kids followed suit, throwing money at her. Ariana had never felt so humiliated in her life. She wanted to slap Casey so hard but she refrained herself, knowing that such actions would only land her in trouble.Overwhelmed by tears, Ariana sought refuge in the restroom where she allowed herself to cry her heart out. She wanted to disappear and escape from school, bu
Nora gasped dramatically as she stared glanced at her friends."Well, what do you want to talk about?""Isn't this the black girl that wrote that letter?" Zach asked with his hoarse and also magnetic voice."Yeah" Casey giggled."See you later babe" Zach gave a quick peck to Casey and left the classroom."So charity case, what do you wanna talk about" Casey said as she sat down close to Nora."About the post, I know you guys are responsible..."Sofia gasped. "How could you say such a thing?""FYI, y'all bad at acting. I know it's you guys. I just have one question for you. Why? Why do you keep on embarrassing me and making fun of me in school. Do y'all think you're better than me...""We are, at least we're not in your kind of situation" Casey laughed."So you think y'all better just because you have the money. I have a question for you guys, the money that y'all spending, did y'all work for it. I can't blame you guys for my predicament or anything but I work for the money I use. Ther
Ariana sat down on her usual spot as she inhaled the cool and calm fresh air. What she did back there in the classroom felt nice, she's happy she did that. She rested her back on the bench and closed her eyes. Now that she has those bitches a warning doesn't change the fact that she needs help. Her mother's condition is getting worst each passing day and of she don't get the money on time...she's afraid that her mother will be gone.What is she going to do, where's she going to get the money from. She's a $1000 short and she still spent money on the food and drugs. What is she going to do now?She felt a gentle tap on her shoulder and she opened her eyes and glanced at the person. It was no other person but Jeff. What is he doing here?"Hey" he greeted. Ariana hissed as she made an attempt to stand up but Jeff caught her hands."Excuse you, let go!" she yelled."God you're noisey, can we at least talk?" he pleaded."I have nothing to talk to you about"."I'm not letting you go till yo
