"Kamari cmon man we gone be late" Bryson said smacking his head, "This is why we told you to get ready first dude" Kasim added walking behind him and smacked his neck.

"Stop touching me dude i'm coming" Kamari said mugging them.

Shéyaa, noticing the tension, intervened. "Hey, give him a break. We'll get there on time," he said firmly, his tone leaving no room for further complaints.

Javari and Shéyaa took their roles super seriously, making sure Kamari, Kasim, and Bryson not only followed the rules but also grew closer as friends. Tonight was special,it was a night out to celebrate their achievements and bond even more.

The boys gathered in the living room of their shared house, and you could feel the excitement. Kamari, the most enthusiastic one, couldn't stop talking about the restaurant they were going to. "I heard they got good alfredo."he said, eyes sparkling with excitement.

Shéyaa, always the calm and collected one, smiled at Kamari's excitement. "Let's make sure we're on our best behavior tonight. This evening is special for all of us," he reminded them, his voice naturally authoritative.

As they got ready to leave, Javari did a quick headcount to make sure everyone was ready. "Alright, let's head out," he said, leading the way to the car.

The drive to the restaurant was filled with light-hearted banter and laughter. Bryson, sitting in the backseat, shared a funny story about a prank he had pulled on a cousin. The car erupted in laughter, their camaraderie evident in their shared joy.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the ambiance instantly set the tone for the evening. The dim lighting, soft music, and elegant decor made it clear this was no ordinary dinner. Javari led the way, followed closely by Shéyaa, with Kamari, Kasim, and Bryson trailing behind.

They were seated at a large round table, perfect for the intimate setting they wanted. As they settled in, the conversation flowed easily. Javari and Shéyaa guided the discussion, encouraging each of the boys to share their thoughts and experiences.

"The new semester is in a few weeks,how do y'all feel?" Javari asked looking through the menu.

The trio sighed "It's whatever i guess that just means school gone be over faster" Bryson said fiddling with his hands in his lap.

Kamari nodded his head in agreement "I'm just ready for it to be over, don't get no fucking break"

"Language" Shèyaa warned not breaking his eyes away from the menu, he looked over at kasim and raised his brow.

"What's wrong kasim, you're awfully quiet"

Kasim, usually the quiet one, opened up about a recent challenge he had faced at school. "I was struggling with my math class, but I didn't want to ask for help. I felt like I should be able to handle it on my own," he admitted, looking down at his hands.

Kasim always felt like asking for help made you look stupid, he would rather fail than ever ask for help.

Javari nodded, understanding the sentiment. "It's important to know when to ask for help, Kasim. It doesn't make you weak; it shows strength and wisdom," he said, his voice firm yet compassionate.

Shéyaa added, "We're all here to support each other. Never hesitate to reach out when you need it."

Kasim smirked and put his head down, "Thank you"

The waiter walked up to the their table and took their orders, they all went with something simple they were more focused on talking to eachother than actually eating the food.
