In My Mind – Sneak Peek!
On January 19th, Thai returns with a new release and she has a special sneak peek for you to read below.
“A D-? How? Why?" Kayla shrieked as she approached me.
Looking over my glasses as I cut off my projector before giving her my full attention. “Listen, I feel like this project wasn't your best. Your entire math thesis seemed rushed and the evidence provided made no sense. That’s why I gave you a D-.”
Kayla grimaced before glancing around, noticing all eyes were on us. "Can I speak to you in the hallway?"
What does this Lil hoe want to talk about? I bit my inner jaw, before ushering for Kayla to lead the way. When we were in the hallway I noticed small sweat beads on Kayla's forehead. “What do you want to speak with me about Kayla?"
"Ummm, I don't know how to say this. You have to promise not to tell my parents."
My brows drew together while resting my arms across my chest. A few students passed by making my patience grow thinner and thinner. “I promise, I won’t say anything.”
Kayla tossed her hair while shifting her weight from one foot to the other. She twiddled her thumbs. "I'm pregnant."
My heart dropped to my feet. Pregnant, pregnant by who? Tears streamed down Kayla's face. Oh shit, should I hug her or keep my distance. But, I'm usually comforting towards Kayla, when she comes to me with her dramas. Just play it cool Juliana. I opened my arms before closing the space between us, while caressing her back Kayla broke into a fit of sobs.
My eyes lingered on hers, Kayla’s expression further annoying me. Ewww, she needs to stop, got all these people looking at us crazy. “Calm down. Girl, it's gonna be ok."
Kayla shook her head. "Everything is messed up. I don't know what I'm gonna do Professor Ballard. If my parents find out they're going to cut me off and stop paying my tuition. All this plus, a D- is not a great look, I know I haven't been focused but damn. A D-, it may as well be an F."
Her project was B- worthy, but oh well. Maybe, this will teach her to stay in the house and away from my man. I swear if she's pregnant by Guy I'm going hurt him. "Listen Kayla. You're twenty-four years old. You are grown and can live your life as you please. A baby is one of God's many blessings, you should be celebrating that. Some women would love to have a baby."
"I know. I’m emotional and can't stop these tears If I wanted to. I know it's the baby." Kayla said, her body pulsing with nervous energy.
Taking a step back while watching her wipe away tears and suck snot. I put my hands in my pockets, glancing down at my watch.
