Giovonee didn't wave, she didn't smile, she didn't talk, and she sure as hell didn't excuse herself before leaving. She gently set the phone down and walked off. No words were exchanged between the two women once.

Her rude actions shocked Jahseh but what did he expect?

"I'm sorry, I didn't wanna step on any toes..", Gigi heard from afar.

He was clearly going out
his way to talk to me!
From a window!!

Jahseh sighed and reached inside to close her window, which was difficult since she had already closed the curtains on the two.

"Is that...your sister?", Trinity added on.

Jahseh looked back at her to continue the conversation before eying the group from afar sitting down on the sidewalk.

"No. My sister lives in Chicago...North. She's grown."

Trinity put her hands in her pocket, nodding her head. "That's cool I hope."

Jahseh's brows wrinkled, looking down at her choice of attire. Since when did she wear clothes like...that. He differed on querying it for a while but they were both just standing there. In nothing but awkward silence. He had to say something.

"Bro what the fuck are you wearing?", Jahseh mustered up a laugh.

He tried to sound as light-hearted as possible. Which didn't work in his favor like it always did.

She covered up her shoulders and took a step back, asking Jahseh "What? Is it not different? Is it still bad?-".

Jahseh grabbed her arm, suddenly letting his laughter's short span die down before pulling her back in her original position. He didn't wanna scare her off so soon. Making her feel conscious about her body wasn't his motive. In all honestly, she looked as if she'd been perfecting herself all summer. She didn't look bad yet he wasn't gonna tell her she looked good either.

"No. You look fine. Just didn't expect you to wear shit like this but you still look fine. It's a joke."

Trinity grinned showing those big goofy teeth of hers, blue braces shining in the light. She turned around, almost forgetting she left her friends waiting there in the hot sun. Damn, it was fun while it lasted. She turned back around and reached for her phone in her unzipped backpack before proposing it to Jahseh.

"I'm sorry, can I get your number?", the girl nervously asked.

Jahseh shook his head with a smile he couldn't help but try and hold back.

"Sure."

♡

"Thanks, Jah!"

Trinity watched Jahseh wave as she proceeded to walk down the street with her friends. Willow turned around, poking fun at Trinity like two little kids.

"Ouu, look who finally has a boyfriend!", Willow chuckled all giddy.

All the others began to laugh, the guys shoving her shoulders and she unhurriedly chuckled.

"Haha, Willow you're so funny!"

Willow could tell Trinity's remark stood bitter. Her eyes rolled as she turned back around and quietly jumped to gossip like she always did. Everyone was back to their ordinary conversations like earlier. They were no longer anxious about Trinity nor what she had to tell.

A small breath of sorrow left her nose, looking back at the house one more time.

Who's the girl living there?
