"Well dont you look mighty fine this morning" i checked Mya out with no shame.

"Thank you, even though i cant see myself" she muttered. I hate when she talk like that.

"Come on na dont start allat you know how i feel bout that" she always makes me feel guilty for complimentin her on how she looks. That aint cool. Sometimes i wonder why good people suffer the most.

"Yea yea i know i just wish i could see but i guess God has other plans for me huh"

I pulled her in for a hug. "You know how they say things happen for a reason ma? Well this happening for a reason be'lieve me you goin be able to see one day" she breathe out " you think so ?"

"Nah i know so, dont lose ya faith"

"But sometimes God takes so long" she sighed.

"My momma always told me God never works on our time but in his time because he knows exactly what he is doing" i looked down in her pretty brown eyes.

"Thank you , i needed to hear that" i took her hand. "No pro'lem"

"You go to church ?"

"Nah" I knew this conversation would pop up one day i was just hoping it wouldnt be anytime soon.

"Why?"
"I be busy workin and if not we have family day on sundays" i lied . Except for the working part.

"Ohh i see , so why dont you bring your family over to church then"

"Because ..uh.. not all of them are religious..my momma is tho but she just busy working" It dont feel right lying to her. Made me feel all guilty. I wasnt lying when i said my momma religious.

"Yo momma ..Mrs.Alsina , how does she look."

"Ooohwee my momma is one fine ladyy i tell you, cant even put into words how fine she is ... just know she as fine as her son" i smirked.

"She as fine as me ??" She teased. "Hell no she way finer ... if she wasnt my momma boy..-"

"Eeeeew august!!" She smacked my shoulder as we busted out laughing.

"I'm just playing man .. on a real tho she fine but not as fine as you Mya.. scratch fine you beautiful you gorgeous you betta believe it cause daddy aug told you so" i pat my chest. She sucked her teeth before laughing.

She turned a whole new shade​ of red. "Thank you"

"August-" she was cut off when the bell rang.
Our free period was over and it was time to pack up and go class.

I helped her pack up and we began walking.
"August i gotta pee bring me to the bathroom." I chuckled and pulled her along.

I opened the door for her and followed her in. "Uh uh nigga i know you aint following me into the girls bathroom." She chuckled. "Why not ?"

"August its the girls bathroom!" I was still unbothered. I cant see anything anyway..the door for the bathroom stall is there for privacy im giving her privacy aint i ?
"So ?"
"August wait for me outside"
"Why ?"
"August this is the girls bathroom!"
"Aight aight i'm out dont take long"

Mya's pov

I just flushed the toilet. And walked out the stall to go wash my hands.

I feel around to find the button to turn on the water and wash my hands.

I heard a door slam shut from the stalls.

"oh my gosh your the blind girl right ?" Somebody came asking me. I hate when people talk to me like that or refer to me as 'the blind girl'

"Yea" i tried to say loudly but i felt my voice crackin up.

"If you dont mind me asking, how did you get blind ?" Another question i dont like to hear or answer.

I bowed my head. "i rather not talk about it" i swallowed the tears that wear building up from remembering the past.

"Oh ok well thats understandable." I nodded and proceed with drying my hands.

"You must be hella blind if you think August only has eyes for you boo" that stung me. Just when i thought she was gone. I dont know why but that stung me hard.

"I mean boo look at you, you could dress so much better than that- oh snap i am so sorry i forgot you cant see"

"Well look at the time i got to go to class sorry for holding you up" i heard the door slam so i assume she walked out and as she did the tears flowed like a waterfall.

I knew i couldnt trust him! He was just too good to be true. I dont even know why i'm crying. I guess i'm just disappointed because i thought we could be something. Why would he fall for a blind girl tho. Aint nothing special about me .

I dap up my man ant as we just finished our convo and he had to go class. I turn back face the bathroom door waiting for Mya.

I see the door open hoping to see Mya when i saw Ophelia. I mugged her as she smiled at me.
I glanced at my watch 'what the hell she doing so long'

We finna reach late. I mean ion care so much but i still want her present at class.

Deciding i had enough i opened the bathroom door and stepped in.

I see my bab- Mya crying and sniffling. Na errybody kno i hate seeing mya cry , it really touches me on a whole new level. I rushed down to her.
"Hey ma what's wrong" i tried to hug her but she pushes me away.

"Dont you see!! i'm friggin blind august why would you want to associate with me ?! Why would anyone care about me?? Nobody cares august!! Nobody!! my daddy left and never came back to check up on me and my mama never have time for me she dont make time for me because she say i'm the reason for her divorce! I am not even pretty! I'm ugly!! I'm ugly! I'm ugly!" She started beating herself up and pulling her hair.

I grabbed her and held her despite he fighting me i held her. "August let me go i'm not worth it!" I just held on to her. A nigga was in tears for real to hear her say those things.

"Dont believe the lies that are forming in yo head Mya, there are people who care about you and you know that , there's Rebecca who would fight for you dennis who always makes you laugh marcus who always takes your side pierre who is always helpin you with school work and me." She was still sobbing but i held her . She wasnt fighting me anymore.

"Mya i fought for you 2 days ago , i took you home and stayed with you comforting till you fell asleep. When i found you in the gym i didnt even know you fully yet and i still took you to the beach to chill because you were upset. Not too long ago i came to check up on you at yo house when you didnt come school because i was worried about you, i'm always around you because i care about you in more ways than one Mya so knock that foolishness out yo head." I wiped my own tears and continued caressing her hair.

"i dont know what fool told you you aint beautiful, baby you are one of the nicest people i know , you listen and understand you care about people you encourage people and i see you helpin them do better all that baby makes you hella beautiful anybody cuh have a pretty face but an ugly soul/personality that aint attractive ma , you're attractive , you caught my attention the first day and i neva knew i would like you this much to do things i've never done for anyone before" I caressed her hair.

It was all quiet for a while. She calmed down and i gave her time to take in what i told her.

"She said that i must be really blind to think that you'd only have eyes for me" she muttered. I pulled away and looked at her.

"What ? Who told you that ? That's some bull-who told that nonsense? " i was heated which jealous stale weave headed hoe was feeding Mya lies.

"I dont know she never said her name" damn whoever this person. They just started a war.

"Listen aight i only have eyes for you , i spend more than 80% of my time with you aint nobody got time to slip in some hoes or other girls when i got a good thing right in front of me. Mya you gotta trust me when i say i only got eyes for you , i like you okay i like you alot i wouldn't trade you for nobody else" i cradle her face in my hands.

I leaned my forehead on hers and we just stayed like that. I was tryna calm myself because i was hella pissed.

I just wanted to know who was feeding Mya lies. Thats it.
