Picking up where I started.

Speak to me God.

I rushed off to the bathroom because I felt God speaking to me,I heard him loud and clear.

I took a stall and began my talk with him.
"Yes father? I come to you in this moment for you have called me."

I waited and then I heard him.

Understanding.

I heard him say,which took me by surprise. What did he mean?

"Understanding of what father?"

Have patience and understanding.

I open my eyes and think for a moment. Maybe I would need this for later,I don't see how this related to me now though. I end my talk with God as it seemed he wasn't gonna say anything further. I went back to class, and it seemed as though time just passed because everyone was packing up. She was waiting for me with my friends,I notice my bag was already packed.

"Hey guys." I say grabbing my bag "oh you packed my stuff thank you."

Mike looked at me and pointed to her "she did it this time." He gave her the credit.

I turned to her and she seemed to be trying to hide a smile, I smiled at her and gave her a hug." Thank you Aaliyah."

She returned the hug "it's nothin."

We all walked outside and talked for a moment before parting ways,she didn't leave though, it seemed like she was still looking around for her opps.

"I'll walk you to your car." I bit down on my bottom lip.

She smiles at me "thank you." We then walked off and started talking about the date.

"So where we going for the date?" She asked me,which was a good question.

I looked ahead and cleared my throat "I was thinking we could go ice skating, or if you don't wanna be cold we could go to the food festival tonight." This was the moment I realized why I asked her on a date, the food festival was today. I forgot about that, Jesus you knew what you was doin. Hooked ya boy up for real.

She gasped "oh my gosh yes! Food festival, the soul food one?"

I nod "Yupp, so don't eat nothin we gotta get full while we there." I joke

She laughed "oh yeah trust me I can it put away." She laughed at her own joke,which I assume she referenced from white chics,the movie. I admired her laughter for a moment,she was something else.

We got to her car and she gave me a hug as a thank you.

"Be ready tonight." I smile at her

"Wait what are we dressing as? Formal? Or rich?" She lifts a brow

I was shocked that someone finally shared my interest of fashion."let's dress humble,but rich." I winked at her and walked away to my car. I got in and watched as she drove away I drove off too. As I drove I saw the two dudes walking on the curb,I eye them as I felt something off. I didn't like it ,at all.

Some time had passed and it was now 4:30,time to get ready for my date. I heard my dad come in the house,he was always at work. He works construction,lately he changed his schedule a lot.

"Son?" He called out and I followed the voice.
"Father." I said looking at him as I button up my shirt.

He smirked"that's a date shirt,oh and is that." He sniffed the air "Cologne?"

I laugh to myself and nod "yes it is." I didn't say much.

"Ah my son got a date,I thought you was going to the food festival though?"he says pulling out a water from the fridge.
