Maya's POV
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Hello" I said into the phone.
"Wassup" said my dad with excitement.
"Nun much" I said while twirling my hair, I was getting a little bored.
"I gotchu some things, ya know just the usual jewelry and clothes" he said.
"Oh, thanks" I said, "um ill call you later I gotta study" I lied.
"Oh, uh talk to you later I guess " he said and we disconnected.
It's always been awkward between me and my dad. Phone convos were always short and whenever I saw him it was only for clothes. I was convinced we would never really click, because most of the 18 years of my life he wasn't there. "Running the streets or in jail" Is what my mom used to tell me, so I stopped asking. Once I turned 15 he wanted to re-connect and I wasnt really sure if I wanted to, don't wanna get left again ya know.
Anyway I really did have something to do and that was hit the mall. I was looking through my closet and finally settled on a black crop top and light washed high waisted shorts that hugged my curves in all the right ways. I slid on my matte black docs and decided to wear my crazy hair in a bun, I hated my hair at times.
Just then, my phone vibrated with a text from my friend Alexa:
Alexa: Yo, wya?
Me: Omw over to ya house, you ready?!
Alexa: Yeah hoe! Now hurry up for they take all the good clothes
Me: lol I'll see you when I get there
Alexa: rd
Me and Alexa been besties since the fourth grade and wasn't nothing gone change that. She been down with me forever and if she rocking, I'm rolling!
I slid down the banister and walked into the kitchen where I found my mom making lunch.
"You hungry? " she asked not looking up from her cutting
"Nawl" I said as I hopped up on the marble counter, "can I borrow the keys to the range?"
She sighed, "sure Kamaya " she said, calling me by my full name, I hated when she did that.
"Thank you so much mom!" I said while hopping down and giving her a hug, "you're the best".
I grabbed the keys and my bag and I routed. I got in the crisp white Range Rover and put on my seat belt. The hot leather seat burnt my skin and I leaned up. I bluetoothed my phone to the car and turned on The Pinkprint and started the car. I pulled out of the driveway and started down the street. Ooo I can't wait to get to KOP I thought as I pulled up to Alexa's house. I texted her to come outside.
"Yo broo " said Alexa as she shut the door
"Wessup" I said and started the car
"Man I can't wait to get to KOP, that's where allll the cuties be" she said as she licked her lips
"I know right" I said, "and all the hating bitches " I said and rolled my eyes
Alexa looked at me and raised a brow, "you think she gone be there" she asked referring to a girl named Mani that I've hated since we was in 9th grade. She made that year hell for me, till I whipped her behind at field day, that hoe was sick a.s
"Of course she gone be there" I said as I pulled into the parking lot, "she always there".
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Now we were in Forever 21 and I was checking out the crop tops while Alexa was over in the corner getting some boys number. She fast walked back over to me cheesing hard as I don't know what.
"Girlll I told you KOP where it's at!" She said while hitting my shoulder, "he was fine as hell".
I laughed out loud, she was so crazy sometimes.
"But Alexa on some real stuff.." I said fixing my eyes on her, I could tell she looked concerned, "what we gone wear tonight?"
"Girl, you had me worried" she said while putting a shirt back that she had picked up, "let's go to Michael Kors and then the food court cause a bitch is starving ".
I laughed "whatever you say"
After we got a few things from Michael Kors and H&M we were headed to the food court when I saw a boy that just...ooo! I looked at his fresh black suede tims and deep waves and almost melted. He looked up over to me and caught me staring just when I turned away.
By the time I snapped back from my daze Alexa was nowhere to be found. I looked across the room and saw her big bun in the Taco Bell line, she obviously was starving!
When I turn back I see the boy approaching me and I almost fainted. Don't get me wrong, I ain't No fangirl on nun, but if you would've saw him!
As he was nearing me I noticed his eyes, hazel, and his skintone was so brown and perfect. He looked slightly older than me but not a day over 21.
"Wassup?" He said as he smiled. I noticed he had one deep dimple on his right cheek and I just LOVE a guy with dimples! "I saw you looking, like watcha see?"
"Boy bye" I said as my light cheeks turned rosey .
"Yea ok " he said and licked his lips, "can I atleast getcha ' name? "
"Uh, Maya well Kamaya " I said "except for I don't like kamaya so just Maya "
"Why you ont ' like ya name, I think its cute" he said as he pulled my phone from my pocket, he must've saw my eyes get big cause then he said "chill shawty, I'm just putting my number in". I smiled, so smooth.
"You gone call me?" He asked as he walked away backwards
"Sorry, I don't call or text first" I said, he smiled. Little did he know I was being serious.
"Aye" I called after him, he turned around. "Ya name?" I asked
"Ray"
