August POV

I watched her play the piano in class as i leaned up against​ the door. Her class was about to end and then it would be lunch time.
I couldnt get that day in the bathroom out my mind. It was about a week ago. She been more quiet than the usual. That right there proves to me that she still thinking bout it too. She probably thinking about her insecurities. Ion like that at all.

I was gonna make sho she felt worth it. I was gonna make sho she understands that she is beautiful. I was gonna make sure of that fo sho.

I snapped out of my thoughts when she started singing.

Your smile has disappeared
Your face is stained with tears
From pain that seems to never end
your heart's completely broken cant breathe i see you choking
Its hard to breathe when life's not fair

How long will these things last , their not movin not movin too fast
Your hope is growing thin
You've prayed every prayer feels like gods not there
But your heart keeps whisperin within ..oooh ohh

Chorus
It wont be , like this always there'll be better days

It wont be , like this always there'll be better days.

By then she stopped. The song could relate so much to me and a whole lot of people. The song made me feel a type of way.
I dont kno how to explain it.

I waited for her to come out. She stood there talking to her teacher. I saw them hug and exchange numbers or whatever.

"Well hello there beautiful " she looked startled at first but then she broke into a huge smile. "Hey August ..september ..oct-" i sucked my teeth " stop with allat" i waved dismissively.
She just laughed it off.

We entered the cafeteria. "I am inlove with yo voice Mya aint no joke" i told her serious.

"Thank you August" she blushed. "When i was small my momma always use to sen me youths and i've learned how to sing ..ever since i just been gettin better" she said.

"Hmm.. i liked the song you singed as well just yall type of songs be depressin sometimes" it was the truth .. sometimes it be all boring and stuff and its like nah bruh.

"I rather listen to my christian hip hop and worship songs that bring forth the truth and give people hope than to listen to the songs people nowadays are makin, the lies and the false hope the fake stuff and allat nuh uh"

"It helps tho makes you forget about errything"

"I dont believe so , i rather fight the problem then runaway from it life is all about lessons if you dont learn to fight it you gon' be suffering alot, the more you fight the stronger you become, the more you wont let little things bring you down, thats what i think ..nah thats what i know" hmm i never thought of it that way.

Damn she fine she talented and she smart. Thank you god for blessing me with her. Tired of these broads.

"I mean to say no matter what people always run to God when things get rougher than expected." I nodded to that. That was true.
We finally got our food and headed to the table.

"hey guys" everybody greeted us back as we took our seat.

"Gyal you heard what happened ?" Becca came close to Mya.

"Girl palm ol-pamela's daddy came to school today and boy did she cry, yall thought Dennis was mean try her daddy" damn

"What did her father say ?" Mya cut in.

"That she should stop dressin like a whore and this is not how he made his daughter out to be- it was a whole big mess" rebecca sighed. I could sense some sympathy/pity comin from rebecca.

Mya's face gave it all away. Knowin her she would probably try talk to her or comfort her. Thats Mya for you.

"Guess who finna party tonight!" Dennis yelled as he pointed at himself.

"Yaass boo if you must know i got invited to - well we got invited to some bianca girl party tonight yall in or nah"

While everyone said okay Mya said no. Everyone looked at her.
"Why ?"

"Parties aren't for me and plus i cant see that makes it ten times harder to be safe when i know everybody wants to turn up and drink. No." She shrugged. She did have a valid point.

"Eyy but ma i could keep my eye out for you .. you kno i gotchu" i said tryna convince her.

"Nah i dont feel like goin" she shook her head. I looked at them 'ima come with her i gotchu' i mouthed to them.
It didnt cheer them up much but atleast i gave them hope.

The bell rung and we had to go back to class.
"Eyy ma ima holla at you later" i hugged her and kissed her forehead.

**********
I grabbed Mya's hand as we were walking out of school.

"She irritates me, she is always talkin talkin talkin in my head like girl shut up dont you have a hobby" she rolled her eyes. I listen to her rant about some girl in her class that was bothering her.

"Eyy chill mama-" i was cut off when i heard someone yellin my name.

"August Anthony Alsina!" My momma yelled as she came close to me.

"Damn it" i muttered under my breathe. I could see mya chuckling.

"Why must i get a phone call statin you been skippin some classes - august dont play with me, you know how i get-" i rolled my eyes.

"Yess momma i kno"
"So why i gotta come to this God forsaken school to talk to the principle do i need to whoop you August" Mya started chuckling softly in the back of me.

"Ma i been busy and them teachers be gettin on my nerves" when i said i was busy i looked at Mya.

"Oh who is this ? Sorry that i didnt see you there " my mom looked at Mya.

"Momma this is Mya, the girl who has been occupyin my mind alot these days and Mya this is my momma sheila" she was blushin but set her hand out so my momma could shake it.

Judgin by the way my momma was lookin at her she knew that she was blind. She glance at me for confirmation and i just nodded.

"Girl we dont do handshakes its hugs around hea" she hugged her as if it was her child.

Seeing Mya smile and laugh was makin me happy.

"Now how about we get to know each other better .. why dont you come by tonight"

"Nah momma we gotta go -"
"I aint tryna hear allat a party over dinner witcho momma is disrespectful." My momma said sternly.

Mya scoffes playfully"yea August its disrespectful i mean why go waste your time when i could get to know your momma better "she smack my arm. She knew exactly what she was doing. She hold unto my arm bringin me down closer to her.

"I mean aint she goin be my momma in law soon" she whispered sweetly but yet playfully. She had a nigga heartbeat irregular.

"Yea momma we a be there" my momma smiled.

"Yall go ahead bout yall business while i deal witcho foolishness" My car was finally out the shop so i took my car and dropped Mya home.

"Come in with me today?" I was thinking because today i had to sell but i guess i'll have to do it tomorrow. "Yea lets go"

I stepped out and rushed to her side to help her out. We held hands as we walked up to ha door. She opened it and as she did i see two kids chasin each otha.

"Oh God , shanti here" she muttered under breathe. Who the hell is shanti?

"Heyyy Aunti Miyahhh!!" They both yelled and came runnin towards her.

"Hey my little rude children" she hugged them up.
Both were boys .. both look like they were thugs. As in rude children.

"Damn right they rude" this lady stepped in she was about i'll say 5'4 and she had short black hair, she was light skin just like Mya.
She was aight.

"Why you say that ?" Mya asked.
"Lil boy over there got time out the whole week for back chattin the teacher" the lil boy jumped up ready to defend himself.

"What-no momma you lyin-aunty my she lyin" his voice started out high then back to his original voice.

"Boy i know you aint talkin about me like that" his mother sassed.

"Pardon me she untruth aunty" he looked at mya.

'So you didnt get any time outs this whole week?" Mya asked.

"Nah, she tol' me to go and think about my actions" he put his hands in his pockets as if he was just coolin. I chuckled at this lil boy who think he a man.

"So that aint a time out ?" Mya asked curiously.
He shook his head "noo , i wasnt in the corner this time... she put me outside" we began laughin.

"Why you back chattin yo teacher ?"

"I wasnt back chattin her i was defending myself" he exclaimed.

"So why she tellin yo momma you have a bad behaviour ?"

"Because she'on like me"
"Lies lies lies boy get gone and go play outside." The woman said. Shooing them out.

"Well you gotcho hands full" mya said.
"Gurl you aint even kno-pause who is this Mya ??" She eyed me and i felt hella uncomfortable because she was checkin me out.

"This August he a reaal close friend of mine .. August meet shanti my cousin" she introduced me to her.

"Heyy" i shook her hand and nod at her .

"Well aight we goin out in the back " mya said draggin me there.

"Mya! I forgot to tell you .. your daddy is back"

Mya stopped and froze up. What the hell is this about? Why she always tense up when she hear bout her daddy ?

"He not alone Mya , he got a family now"
