It was no secret to anyone that Carter Newton was the unofficial weed man of King's Academy. For a couple of years now, people have been coming to the young man with their wads of cash in hand, ready to discreetly trade it all in for the best product their money could buy. Being the good friends that they were, Chanel always knew what Carter did in his free time to make a little extra dough. However, that did not mean that she necessarily approved of it... and she certainly never copped from him whenever she needed her fix.

The two teenagers sat in Chanel's parked car, just like they'd done a few times before. They'd been sitting in the school parking lot for a little under fifteen minutes, listening to the all too familiar Wu-Tang songs that blared through the speakers and talking about what they'd done over the Winter break. The only difference this time was the small baggie that Carter held in his hand, ready to be handed off to Chanel. He could tell that she was reluctant to go through with it, which only made him wonder what finally made her give in.

[color=CCC6EA]"Chanel... you need to chill, ma."[/color] Carter said with a half smile. [color=CCC6EA]"It's just weed. You over here acting like I've been tryna sell you some hardcore drugs like Mr. Candy Man over there. And if you're so pressed about me dealing, what made you switch up all of a sudden, huh? Don't you usually go to some shady ass dude in Lake Worth?"[/color]

[color=#D2652C]"I can't go to him anymore, he got caught up,"[/color] Chanel said quickly with a roll of her eyes. [color=#D2652C]"Whatever. And I don't have time to go searching for someone else. [i]I need it now[/i]."[/color] And suddenly, in quick motions, Chanel shoved the few bills into Carter's hand, snatched the baggie from his lap, and stowed her newly acquired goods into the glove compartment. Of course, this only caused Carter to grow even more skeptical.

[color=CCC6EA]"Something going on with you, Coco? You seem a little, uh... on edge. More than usual, I mean."[/color] While his tone was joking, his eyes weren't; to say that he was concerned about his friend would be an understatement. 

Chanel let out a deep breath and sat back in her seat. [color=#D2652C]"Sorry, I didn't mean to snatch it,"[/color] She said, running her hands through her newly installed hair. [color=#D2652C]"It's embarrassing, but my anxiety has just been through the goddamn roof lately. I think it has something to do with going to visit my parents and our old home, because I haven't felt like this since... you know. And Carter, it's our last semester of high school. In less than six months we'll be walking across the stage and beginning our lives as [i]adults[/i]. [i]College students[/i]. Some of us will be leaving everything we know behind... I'm leaving behind my friends, my newfound home, my [i]comfort zone[/i]. I'm panicking, and I'll take whatever I can to ease this fucking feeling."[/color]

The two of them sat in silence for a few moments, listening to the music and watching their fellow classmates head through the main entrance. It was only after the song had ended that Carter decided to share some news with Chanel. [color=CCC6EA]"I got into Morehouse. Early action. Just like you said I could. And I'm sca-"[/color]

In an instant, Chanel perked up and reached over to pinch Carter's cheek. [color=#D2652C]"See, I told your ass that you'd get in. What the fuck did I tell youuuu? I feel like a proud ass big sister."[/color]

[color=CCC6EA]"Yooo, cut it out, Chanel."[/color] Carter said as he tried to pry her hands from his face. [color=CCC6EA]"I'll be a first generation college student at the end of the year, I'll be living in a city without the rest of my family, and I might even be moving far away from the one girl in this place that I have real feelings for. What I'm tryna say is that I'm scared too, Chanel. We all are. You don't have nothing to be embarrassed about."[/color]

Soon, Chanel and Carter finally got out of the car and began their walk towards the main entrance. [color=#D2652C]"I guess I'll go to Julie's locker now,"[/color] Chanel said with a smile, [color=#D2652C]"You know, I'm thankful for the talk and all. But, just so you know... I'm keeping the weed."[/color] 

[color=CCC6EA]"Oh yeah, for sure,"[/color] Carter said with a shrug as he gave her a quick hug and started to head in the opposite direction, [color=CCC6EA]"You need to take the edge off, I get it. Besides... I don't do refunds."[/color]
