<p data-p-id="cbf87934794f40c5516f7d743eb3e6a5">Dahlia flower is temporary, it won't last forever. That's life, my life just waiting for it to end. Welcome to my life. My name is Lillian Juju but I preferred to be Li. I started to pack up my stuff in period seven, it was about to end in 2 mins, and the school day would finally end. I wouldn't be back in this sh*thole until Monday. Ding. The bell had rung, I grabbed my stuff and ran out the school.

<p data-p-id="7f8945f9c4d76be68e417242d37be44b">"Hey, kiki waits up" I yelled as I ran towards Kiki the strong October breeze hit my face like a rock falling into the water. Kiki turned around as her Fulani braids dances like leaves in the wind.

<p data-p-id="74bd4c31319ca2c7f6979db74a6d1a47">"What," she asked as I reached her.

<p data-p-id="e2b2d5cfb2e380925c2ea71c1243de8a">"I thought we were supposed to hang" I replied back.

<p data-p-id="4d6480b3f2e25fd8b72b774fef7835bb">" Yeah, I was waiting for you"

<p data-p-id="0b0bf381b5f1188ae696909b106806fa">We walked in silence for the first 5 mins. The cars zoomed by fast. 1.2.3 I counted them each as they went by.

<p data-p-id="e9dc9e4633d75d5c0ea53a0a97081999">"So where we going"

<p data-p-id="3eb3960fe8ad02a3b289367c4cd0d1fb">I looked up at Kiki who was still on her phone. After her break with Jamal, she had been different. The thing is that Kiki was in love with him, that's what she said.

<p data-p-id="08460d9c26574e7bed6465537693189e">"How about Starbucks" She answered back

<p data-p-id="aef11421890aa652c55c40785e3ed1f0">"Sure"

<p data-p-id="28ca2fcfa9d92aaa3ebf4e1d61f98133">We walked to Starbucks in silence. I hated this knew Kiki. How could she become this boring? I will never let a boy change me.
