Idk if I said Chris age so she's going to be 15 Sage pov

I walked around the apartment looking at the layout. I couldn't really hear what the leaser was saying so I might've been ignoring him. "Are the walls thick?" I asked turning towards him. "Excuse me?" He tilted his head looking confused and I turned back around. "How much would rent be?" I looked around in the kitchen. The cabinets were kind of ugly and so was the stove. "4,500." Yeah no.

I lightly laughed and shook my head. 2500 for this was crazy, it's the fact there was limited space in here and the rooms were so small. "Do you have something bigger?" I asked. It wasn't in me to pay that much for a small apartment that I can be paying the same exact amount for something bigger. "No, none that are available that is." He answered and I nodded.

"Okay well thank you for your time." I lightly smiled holding my hand out. We exchanged farewells and I headed back to Denise's car, She drove me of course.

"So how'd it go?" I shook my head. "They wanted 4500 for it but it was too small, ain't even have a washer and dryer." She gave me the same exact expression I had a minute ago. "Oh nah." She said shaking her head and I nodded. "That's exactly what I said. Anyways, you doing anything tonight?" I questioned and she shook her head no. Shawn told me to rest for the next week until the fight so my week days are completely free.

Which also means that I've been working at the bar alot. "Let me take you out to the fair then." I offered and she raised her eyebrow. "Sage Thomas are you asking me on a date?" Denise looked up at me blushing and I nodded. "Yes I am, so what's your answer?" I responded taking her hand. "Well idk I'm kind of your professor."

I rolled my eyes at her throwing my words back at me. "Ight fine I'll just hit up Cecila-" I was about to grab my phone when she snatched it. Damn?? I chuckled and watched as she put it under her thigh. "You know that's not gon stop me from taking it back right?" I rhetorically Asked her looking down at her thighs. Thick asf I mean the headlock would go crazy, the best suffocation at its finest. "And what if I wanted you to take it?" I looked back up at her holding our gaze.

It's kind of hot.

Are y'all hot?

Shi I am.

(Y'all I tried to do the proper grammar/texting but Jesus it's tiring😭 finna go back to my original writing) -author

"So is that a yes to the date or?" I asked deflecting the tension and she nodded. "Yes it is." She answered and I nodded smiling. Maybe the crush wasn't as small as I thought? Maybe I'm full blown into her, attracted to her, enthralled by her. The way she moves, interacts with people, how she carry's herself, I can't really describe it but there's something about her that pulls me in deeper and deeper.

Some would say love at first sight but it's impossible.

Right?

______________

I hate heights.

I can tolerate them but I still hate them. I could never work in an office building because being to high up gives me unwanted thoughts and scenarios.

Just imagine you're at work chilling, doing whatever it is you do every single day and then BOOM! Yo ass knocked out cold in a pile of rubble hanging onto your life by a thread. I'm sorry but it can never be me.

"Can we go on the Ferris wheel?" Denise asked and I nodded. Ferris wheels weren't that bad to me, it's not a fast paced machine that can go out of control and next thing yk you're flying off into space like your Superman but really you finna turn into ground beef on some concrete. Or dirt, whichever you prefer I don't judge. The line wasn't too long for the Ferris wheel so we were in there in under 5 minutes.
