"Brent how many times have you told me that you'd come see me and you straight up lied?" A girl that I've been talking to for a few months now asked me. I was in the mirror picking out my afro on every side and angle in my wall mirror. Her name is Talia.

"Brent!" She yelled on the other line.

"Woahh, relax. I'm not ignoring you, I'm fixing my hair" I told her as I sprayed some Olive Oil on the tips.

"To answer your question though, why you always think I'm lying?" I asked her in a calm tone. I have to go to work at 5 o'clock so I really don't want to upset this female so she could start yelling in my ear and then my head hurt.

"I'm not trying to.. it's just we never hang out anymore like we used to. I guess I just miss you" She spoke. I knew it, every time a female starts to give me attitude or just flat out start some bullshit.. all because they "miss me".

"You could've just told me that you missed me. I be busy, you know that. Don't take it any type of way" I reassured her.

"You're right.. I'm sorry. I never talked to someone on a serious note like this in a while so everything is still kind of new to me, even admitting that I miss you at times" She explained.

"It's cool, we all have things we have to work on. I'm about to drive to work though so I'll call you later?" I asked her as I grabbed my keys and headed to the door.

"Okay I'll talk to you later" She said before we both hung up. I got to my car and got inside of it after I checked the windows and everything. I'm a day school and after school youth instructor for schools all over the district. My friend hooked me up with this job about 2 years ago and it's honestly not bad. It pays well for the mean time and I enjoy seeing hard headed kids actually let go of that toughness and just have fun like kids should be doing. Don't get me wrong, it ain't always good and smooth. I get troubled kids, kids with problems sometimes but I love every moment of it and wouldn't change up my path any time soon, unless I get offered more bread. I had about a 20 minute ride to the school so I have some time to enjoy the morning views.

I checked my lipgloss application in my small on the go mirror while we were in the car.

"Thanks again for coming with me Kiki, I owe you one" My best friend of five years told me. Her name is Ryan and she's the coolest person I ever met, when I used to get bullied or picked on in school it was always me defending myself until she transferred to the school. Ever since then, we've been glued to the hip and every guy that tries to shit on us back then is getting shitted on in the dm's, it's crazy how life works out sometimes.

"You don't owe me anything girl, I love Connor. He's like the little brother I never had, I got two big headed older siblings" I said as I put away everything I was using.

"Girlll, your brother is so fine. I know I'm a little younger than him but age ain't nothing but a number" She said in a bird tone and a smile on her face. I palmed my head and shook it side to side, this girl has had a hard ass crush on my brother for a few months now and he's so stupid that he hasn't noticed it yet. He probably doesn't wanna get involved with her because she has a son and what not.

"Ryan you're a year older than me. He's only 25, you're about to be 23" I reassured her.

"Exactly! What if he rejects me because of that? Ima just hang it up, I'm his little sister's best friend. He probably looks at me like a sister, which I wouldn't be upset about either" She said with a small shrug.
