Jahseh's pov/ October 12th, 6:47 PM
"Hey, stoke wassup?" I said answering my phone as I fixed my laying position. "Yo seh, I, uh, I'm going out for dinner with my parents and I need to look good so I need your opinion" he walks off camera. "oh okay" I replied patiently waiting for him to come back in the frame. I find it cute how he wants my opinion. "Okay, should I wear the white polo and black jeans or a black polo with blue jeans?" I said showing me the options with a desperate look on his face.
I looked at both outfits and tried to imagine which one he'd look the cutest in, I imagined him in a black polo and he looked so fine in it, it almost made me want to squeal at the thought. "Go with the black polo and blue jeans" I smiled he nodded resting on I assume his bed. "Thanks Jah, you're the best," he said grabbing his phone off of whatever was holding it up, he had a smile on his face showing off his pearly whites.
It's just something about Dark skins having pearly white teeth that does something to me, especially when they wear that good-smelling cologne. "Anytime," I said before he hung up.

Stokeley's pov/ 6:49 PM
I took off my T-shirt and swiftly put on the outfit Jahseh helped me pick out, I looked at the time on my phone to see it read 6:49. Shit, I was supposed to leave her 10 minutes ago. I put on my jeans and fumbling to slide my belt through the tabs, I buttoned and zipped up my jeans putting my phone in my back pocket. I quickly turned around almost slamming my arm on my wooden dresser, I decided to take a step back before I injure myself trying to rush.
I grab my wallet, push it into my pocket, and grab my keys, I grab a hoodie from my door hook and walk out of my room accidentally slamming my door shut. I jogged down my stairs hearing my keys jingle in my hand, I put on my shoes and yelled a quick goodbye before slamming the door. I unlocked my car as I was walking over, I slid my hand across the hood and got inside. I stuck the keys in the ignition and my car started.
Usually, I'd take a couple of minutes and wait but I'm running late and I don't need to be yelled at right now. I'm sure I'm gonna get my ear chewed off by Maddy cause I'm already late. Yeah I lied to Jahseh, so what? A small fib won't hurt. I backed out of my driveway and made my way to Maddy's house.

Symere pov/ 7:57 PM
I walked downtown as I was shopping by myself for just the usual, clothes, accessories and whatever plus I was meeting a few friends. And by a few friends I mean Jahseh, he's the only nigga I ever hang out with, and lately, he's been all up on Stokekey and I don't wanna sound mean but he's lowkey pushing me aside. Im telling you that something is fishy with Stokekey and Jahseh is about to get himself hurt but his hard-headed ass doesn't fucking listen.
He never does! and I try to be a good friend but it pisses me off. I guess that's what I got myself into when I said we were gonna be friends for life, in the end, it doesn't matter how hard-headed he is and if he doesn't listen I'm still gonna try and warn him. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, I moved all my bags into one hand sliding my phone out of my pocket. Oh, it's Jahseh. Speak of the devil I guess.
"Meet me by Isaac's Ice Cream Parlor" I glanced around to see where I was and I realized Isaac's Ice Cream Parlor wasn't too far. "Alright, be there in 5" I responded putting my phone back in my pocket, I scoped the area to if anything new had arrived, maybe food, or clothing stores but mostly food. Jahseh and I have almost tried every restaurant here and I wanna see if I can find anything new to eat today.
I looked over to my left to see a restaurant with a big window that lets you see inside, it looked nice. It was definitely new because I had never noticed it before. I tilted my head to see it had a basic interior, red and green with a little bit of white, had to be Italian And I love Italian food, and so does Jahseh as long as he wants to eat here I don't mind paying cause looking at some of the customer's food that shit looked bomb as fuck.
My eyes went a little to the right and I saw someone a little familiar, I stepped a little closer to see a girl with blonde hair and wearing what I think was a red dress sitting across from...Stokeley? Holy shit, that's Maddy! See I knew that dumb ass lying bitch wasn't fucking gay, nothing about him screams gay nothing at all, and it's not only the fact he's not gay it's the fact he's leading my best friend on.
I need to go tell Jahseh. I started jogging through the crowd, swiftly dodging people and trying not to either trip over tiny kids or pebbles. Wait until Jahseh hears this, I almost feel sorry for Stokeley. I started getting a little tired as my short legs could only carry me so far; I saw Jahseh standing next to the building and I called out "Jahseh!" his head quickly turned and a smile soon appeared.
"I thought you weren't coming" he chuckled as he rubbed my back as I leaned on him panting. "No no, I just saw something important" I spoke catching my breath. "What?" Jahseh said holding me up by my shoulders. "Stokekey-" I could only say before his face lit up with excitement and his eyes darted everywhere I assume looking for Stokeley.
"Where is he?" he said with a smile. "he's on a date with Maddy," I said finally feeling refreshed. "A date?" he repeated with his smile slowly fading. "what are you talking about?" he said taking his hands off my shoulders. "I saw Stokekey on a date with Maddy," I said a little scared now. " He's out to dinner with his parents," he said making a confused face.
"Jah, I literally saw him in the restaurant eating with Maddy" His eyebrows furrowed. "Show me," he said blankly. "what?" does he actually not believe me? When have I ever lied to Jah? Especially about a guy he likes, I only want him to be happy; he knows that. "I said Show me" I looked at him before nodding my head. I started walking and honestly, I don't know what the fuck I was running for, maybe it was the adrenaline but the restaurant wasn't even that far.
I felt nervous and I don't know why, I did see Stokeleys and Maddy with my own two eyes. I stood in front of the window and waited for Jahseh to catch up. "Okay, where is he?" he said crossing his arms. "What are you blind? He's right there" I said turning my head to see the booth they were sitting at was empty.
What the hell? They were just here! "Jah I know this looks ba-" He cut me off. "Listen Symere, I know you don't like Stokeley for whatever reason but can you not lie on him? I really like him and you know that, so can you just stop? Damn, can't you just be fucking happy for me? I don't know if you want me to yourself or whatever but I don't fucking belong to you...I'm going home" he said turning around before I could get a word in. Ah, shit.
