1pm in Philly
Kori's POV

"Hips hips hips hips!" I said to Kydero as I was attempting to make him dance in my little tiktok video.

"You're stiff as a fucking board," I rolled my eyes at him. "I'm just tryna get a cute video before I leave today."

We were outside the rink after falling on our asses. We grabbed two very overpriced slices of pizza and ate half before I forced him to dance with me.

"We should try it in our skates," he said smirking.

"So you want us to die?" He nodded rapidly. Why did I agree to it? I do not know why...

I set my phone up and set the timer.

I put on the AINT no way(RoBB Remix) and tried not to fall in my ass. I didn't even move forward or backward . Just did hips. But when it got to the part where I had to do it fast I slipped and fell right in my ass and Kydero hit his head on the table before falling down.

We were laughing even though we were in pain. People definitely turned heads to us but I was trying not to think about it.

And my phone kept playing the sound over and over as I could not grab it.

"Jeezus Christ I heard y'all fall," Willow helped me up and Rumani helped Kydero up. I sat down on my painful butt and ate my pizza and drank my sprite.

"Aight nuff sulking let's skate again." And so we got back into the rink.

No matter what you say or what you do
When I'm alone I'd rather be with you
Fuck these other niggas, I'll be right by your side
Till 3005, hol up

I was scream singing as we skated because this is really my song. Honestly Philly just does something to me.

It's like I can really be my outside self over here. Like a little more extroverted. Honestly it's probably being with more cousins who are outside all day.

I'm just used to being outside with them. It's the norm when I'm here.

But when I'm over in NY I am an inside girl. That's my Bronx norm. Being inside 25/8. But I've enjoyed being outside once in a while with Carmen or Samir.

Speaking of which Carmen had quite literally abandoned me. I be tryna talk to her but it's "I'm with Adrian" "I need to call Adrian."

Like I'm trying to make sure you're safe and this is what I get? I feel like I should fall back and go ghost. I doubt that she would notice anyways...

Because I hate being on edge and not knowing where we stand. But if things go bad with Adrian...I don't wanna see her running back after dashing me away.

"I used to care what people thought, but now I care more...I mean, nobody out here's got it figured out," I looked over seeing a girl looking at me and singing too. We smiled at each other and kept skating.

"So, therefore, I've lost all hope of a happy ending.
Depending on whether or not it's worth it. So insecure, no one's perfect," we continued all the way and laughed when the verse went over.
