I Let out a sigh as I walked into the party, I looked around and I spotted Stokeley on a wall with Maddy. I walked in with my head up high and went to the drink table, I needed something to loosen my system and push the anxious thoughts out of my mind. I could feel eyes on me and I already knew who it was, I took a shot and a deep breath. I could see Symere out of the corner of my eye talking to some guy, I glanced at Stokeley and he was still staring me down.

I felt someone tap my shoulder, I turned my head to see a brown skin boy with braids that came to his shoulders, thick eyebrows, and eyelashes. He was so pretty. "Excuse me" He spoke, I could barely hear him over the music. I moved to the side to make some space, "Sorry" I quickly apologized. He let out a laugh, I couldn't hear it, I just knew by his facial expressions.

"You're fine" He winked grabbed a cup and started pouring up. I tried to hide my smile, " you look cute too " I complimented. "You go to the high school?" he questioned, unfortunately. I hate that school so much. "Yeah, do you?". "Yeah, it's weird how I haven't seen you before" I just shrugged. "It's a big school, plus I don't go out much"

"What made you go out tonight?" he raised an eyebrow, " I just decided to try something new" He looked at me up and down and I looked away. He made me nervous. "I'm glad you showed up tonight, so how old are you?", It took me a second to answer him cause I was trying to piece together what he said. "17", he just nodded and glanced away. "No weird shit, but you wanna go outside?" I nodded my head and he grabbed my hand, he led me through the crowd bumping into numerous people.

We walked out the front door and the cool fall air filled my lungs. We sat down on the step and I could hear the ringing in my ears. "Better?" I nodded my head and it was silent for a few seconds, "so, what's your name?". "Jahseh, and you?" He looked over at me and fixed his sitting position, "Kamarr". I raised my eyebrows slightly, he's cute and has a cute name. Holy hell. "That's cute, does it have a meaning? or a story?" He just shrugged. "It's a mixture of my parent's names, My mom's name is Kahlisha and my dad's name is Jamarion "

" That's adorable" I slightly chuckled. "What about you? Does your name have a meaning or a story?". I nodded my head, "My mom said my name means 'God Speaks' . 'Jah' is god, and 'seh' you know...speaks" I chuckled at the end. "Wait, your name is so dope. I just met you but I swear imma name my firstborn after you". I tried to hide my smile but I couldn't, "Awe, I'm honored" I placed my hand over my heart.

"I'm still stuck on the face I've never seen you at all, like I know our school is big but damn." I laughed at his statement, "It's not you, I swear. I literally don't leave my house or go anywhere, I have nowhere to go" I shrugged. "You should go out more" Kamarr moved closer to me, "and do what? I have one friend and we hang out with each other". "Don't worry, I'll invite yall everywhere. I got all hookups"

I raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, "Should I be concerned about how you have so many 'hookups'?". He just shook his head, "Don't worry your pretty little head". I felt the urge to pee, so I excused myself and told Kamarr I'd be back, and I genuinely planned to come back. I got up and walked inside the house. I made my way up the stairs and knocked on the bathroom door. I didn't hear anyone answer so I walked in. I shut the door behind me and unzipped my jeans, I did my business and flushed the toilet. I fixed myself up and washed my hands. The door opened and I turned my head.

" What the fuck?!" I said before realizing it was Stokeley. I looked him in his eyes as I felt the thick tension in the room. "Fuck are you doing here?" he questioned. "It's a party Stokeley" he rolled his eyes. "You don't party. You came here to make me jealous?" he raised his eyebrows. "Where did we meet Stokeley?...A party. Not everything revolves around you, get your head out of your ass and you'd realize that". The room fell quiet, "It's actually pretty bold of you to be in here with me right now." I had a smirk on my face, "People might think we're fucking" I touched his chest.

"You wouldn't want people to think you like men, right?". "You wouldn't want people to wonder how you fucked me in this bathroom" I looked around the room. Maybe you had me like this" I said bending over and making sure to press my ass against him. "Maybe, I sucked you off" I said switching to my knees and glancing up at him. He grabbed me by my dreads and I let out a breath, "Why do you keep playing with me?" he spoke tightening the grip on my hair. I didn't say anything, I just kept looking at him. "Fuck..Stop looking at me like that" he looked away from me.

He let go of my hair and glanced at him before leaving. I walked downstairs and back outside to see Kamarr on the step. "You're still here" I smiled, "Yeah, I was just waiting for you. I didn't wanna leave without giving you my number". "You're leaving?" I slightly pouted, and he gave me a weak smile. "Yeah? I don't like being in one place too long". He gave me a piece of paper that I'm assuming had his number on it. "I'm not forcing anything, but if you wanna talk and stop being strangers then text me." I nodded my head with a slight smile.
