Just as I pressed send, I heard the shuffling of footsteps in front of me. I looked up and found Lexy strutting in wearing a long green dress that went all the way down to her ankles. Her curly red hair spilled over her shoulders as she smiled at me.
“What’s up, Lil? How was your day?” she said as she leaned over my desk, using her elbows as support.
“It’s been okay, I guess. Glad it’s over.”
“I know exactly what you mean. I can’t tell you how ready I am for Christmas break. I need this.”
“Tell me about it,” I replied. “I feel like I’ve got so much going on right now. I could definitely use a break. Next week can’t get here fast enough.”
Lexy tilted her head and gave me a worried look. Then, she walked over to the closest chair and sat down.
“Looks like it’s time for you to spill the beans. What’s going on?” she inquired.
I had so many things happening that I couldn’t explain, and it bothered me that I couldn’t tell her. Lexy was my absolute best friend, and we usually told each other everything, but the things that were going on with Kelvin and his family weren’t just regular things. Kelvin’s family was the mob, and they were all involved in some form of illegal activity, including the illegal gambling that was going on at the Red Chip. And even though I trusted Lexy, if she ever knew about this stuff, it would put her and her family in danger. I was in love with Kelvin, so I was choosing to accept the danger. Lexy, on the other hand, had no reason to endanger her family, and I wasn’t going to put them in danger myself by letting her in on this particular secret. So, I sighed, and I lied.
“Oh, it’s nothing,” I said convincingly. “Umm, Kelvin’s job is just taking a lot of his time and it’s starting to become stressful.”
“Well, I’m sure running a casino is hard work, but he’s totally worth it, right?”
“Of course he is. It’s just hard.”
“You’re sure it’s work that’s taking all his time, right?”
I frowned at the question. “What do you mean?”
“I mean it’s not another woman is it? I don’t care how much money he has, or how nice he dresses, or how big you say his dick is. If he hurts you, I will gladly Lorena Bobbitt his ass. Throw that shit in the tall grass, never to be seen again.”
I couldn’t help but laugh, even though I was still totally anxious about what might be happening to my car while I sat in this classroom chatting.
“You’re crazy, Lex,” I said as I chuckled. “I can assure you, sweetie, he isn’t cheating on me. He’s just very busy. I can’t help the fact that I want him all to myself all the time. He has to work hard for the money that he makes, and I understand that. I’m just a girl, that’s all.”
“Well, have you let him know how you feel? Because as much as we want them to be, men aren’t mind readers. They’re too stupid for that.”
“We’ve talked about it a little. He always reassures me that he loves me and that it’s just his job, and I really do understand. I just love him, so I’m sensitive. What can ya do?”
“Well, what I suggest you do is support your man. Kelvin’s a good guy, Lil. Don’t mess it up, because a man like him is hard to find.”
She had no idea how true her statement actually was.
“You’re right. I’ll be fine. We’ll be fine.”
Lexy got up from her chair and walked over to my desk to give me a hug. “Well, I have to get out of here. Amy’s got choir tonight so I have to get her over there so I don’t have to deal with that bitch of a choir teacher. I’ll talk to you later, okay?”
“Alright, Lex. I’ll call you.”
Lexy walked out and my phone chimed just as she turned the corner.
Kelvin: Hey, Beautiful. I’m fine. Chillin’ at the house with James the Babysitter. You okay?
I took a look at my tiny stack of ungraded papers and realized that I didn’t have as many to grade as I thought.
Me: I’m
