"So he got fired from all three jobs at the same time? How is that even possible?" Kani asked as she played with her small diamond necklace.
"Apparently it is. He would've of been really happy to see you." I said and she sighed."We were supposed to fly down there last week, but one of Aunt Rae's cousins were getting married to a commoner. Just like Jason and I so we HAD to come." Kani complained and rolled her eyes.
"Life isn't gonna get any easier you know." Kani said and I sighed. She was right." Let's say you had a long time friend and then you meet a guy that could possibly be more than a friend and that long time friend doesn't like him and he gets jealous should I just stay with that long time friend and leave the other behind?" I asked and Kani just stared at me through her screen.
"You mean Pryer and He Feng?"
"H-how did you know?" I asked sounding extremely surprised and she laughed."You think you can just keep a big secret like this from your own sister? Especially when I'm away like this? I'm truly hurt." She said and put her hand over her chest dramatically.
"So what are you going to do?"
"I'm not sure what I should do. In the end somebody's bound to get hurt right? Wasn't it like that for you and Jason?" I asked and Kani laughed."Sure was, but you have to remember that you aren't responsible for someone's feelings. It's there own brain. You can't make them do anything. Same goes for you." She said and I looked at her for a moment.
She's right.
It shouldn't matter if Feng gets jealous. It's not my fault he's like that and Pryer shouldn't be cautious with him around either. "What's taking so long? Prestons asleep now." Jason's voice suddenly sounded through the screen and Kani's face showed instant embarrassment."Sorry Devanie I've gotta go."
"Y'all are gross." I said before closing my laptop. Soon after there was a knock on the door."Come in." Samantha sadly made her way into my room and laid down on her back next to where I was sitting.
"So how's everything?"
She put her forearm over her eyes before speaking."Fryday's so stressed that he's starting to get gray hairs hidden in his hair. Don't get me wrong I think it's super hot, but I wish he would sit still for a second and rest." He doesn't need to work so hard, he has a family to lean on. Why's he so stressed about leaving?"
"When we have our baby he wants our child to grow up in our own home with his mother and father and he wants the best for me." Samantha sighed and I looked down at her sad expression.
"I'm almost done with medical school, I'll be graduating next month, so maybe this can help us more." I shook my head."I get where Fryday's coming from, but he doesn't need to do this he can lean on someone. He's making us stressed at this point."
"Was this how he was like in high school?"
"Pretty much. He always had something to say, even if it hurt himself. He always wanted what's best for the people he cared about, but it's frustrating."Samantha said and sat up, she put her hand on her growing stomach and sighed."I guess I should go go eat again, I skipped dinner you know." She got up and walked out the door while softly closing it behind her.
Everyone's got so many issues nowadays.
But me?
I'm just figuring out what the heck I'm doing.

"You know you're really pretty right?"I said and Devie instantly whipped her head my way. We were in the library researching for our or science project. I haven't been much help, I've just been staring at her the whole time.
"Stop, what are saying? Just do your work already." She laughed and shook her head. She turned back to the book she was reading and tapped her pen.
"Working is boring, why don't you pay attention to me?" I whined and she slowly turned her face towards mine. She looked even more mesmerizing up close. I could see faded freckles on her face. I noticed how long her eyelashes were. Her eyes were so deep and brown.
"So, when you said you would only have eyes for me. Did you mean it?" Devie looked up at me and I immediately felt really hot."Hey you're face is super red."
"Um, Well, I really do only have eyes for you Devie."I said, but her face didn't look so reassuring after I said that. "Then what about Aurora?"
"What?"
The atmosphere suddenly felt cold. Aurora? Please don't remind me of her. Not her, anyon but her. "Isn't she your number one? What happened to her anyway? The other day I saw you guys leave the school together that day and then she came running back in crying." Devie's eyes suddenly became filled with worry.
I became at loss of words. Aurora didn't mean anything or I thought she didn't.
I told myself not to get attached I wasn't supposed to get attached so why do I feel so lost. "I, um, I've gotta go home, my dad needs me." I said before quickly getting out of her chair.
This can't be right.
