That same day
In the car with Brandon

" So Brandon, who's the friend for Hillary?"

"It's Derrick."

"Okay I just hope she likes him but I don't want them to go out I want them to become friends."

"Why can't they date each other?" He asked while we parked in front of my house.

"Because she won't be here for a long time. She is only staying for two weeks. " I texted Hillary to tell her that we were outside.

She came out in a all black outfit with a hot pink colored coach bag and all pink high-top Air Force 1's, her hair was in a bun and she had on gold accessories. She came towards the car and got in.

"Hey Liyah, hey Brandon." she said as she closed the door.

"Hey. " Me and Brandon said in unison.

At the mall

"Where is Tanya?" I asked Derrick he would just slick look at Hillary then at me and then look away.

"She said she has this huge project due Monday so she didn't want to come."

"Oh. " Every minute Brandon would look at me and smile. It was kind of creepy and annoying at the same time.
"Brandon your not slick. "

"Who said I was trying to be. Lets go to finish line I need some new shoes." We all walked into Finish Line and were looking for some shoes. I was looking for Huarache's that I liked and then Brandon came up behind me.

"What you lookin' for?" He asked looking over my shoulder.

"Why?" I asked looking at the shoes instead of him.

"Just makin' sure you not tryin' to get the same pair of shoes as me." He said putting his hands up like he surrendered.

" No one wants to copy you okay." I said as I picked up some blue, green and white Huarache's. I looked around for anyone that works here.

"Uh, excuse me sir?" He turned around he was so damn fine. But let me stop.

"Yes?" His voice was so sexy like he was just perfect. Now all he has to do is take-that-shirt-off. 😏

"Can I get these in a size 7 in women please?"

"Sure I'll be right back." He took the show out of my hand and walked off. I guess I was smiling the whole time.

These group of girls were pointing at me and talking shit. Like bitch.... bye.

They came walking towards me.

" Aye bitch, why they hell are you here with Brandon? LIKE LEAVE MY NIGGA ALONE!!!"

"Uh, first off no one wants 'ya nigga', second of all 'ya nigga' wants me. So, bye."

She took out her earrings and started to swing at me. I'm nice so I tried not to fight back ass hard as I do at boxing. I punched her in her lip and slapped her a couple of times and she pulled my hair, what a bitchy move. People were around us recording and shit. Brandon came and pulled me off of her. Then the guy with my shoe came back out. I fixed my hair and my shirt.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!!" Brandon yelled at me.

"THAT HOE THAT YOU CALL 'your ex' TRIED TO FIGHT ME!! What the hell was I supposed to do? Sit there as she beat me up. Although she didn't beat me up, I whopped her ass!!!" The man handed me my shoes and banned the other girl from the store.  Then security came and dragged her out. Then one walked up to me.
" Where you in the fight?"

"Yes, but I didn't start it. She did you can check the security cameras. " He walked to one of the workers and they showed him the footage.

"Okay. This is an warning if you fight again in this store you will be banned as well. " He walked out the store. I turned to face Brandon and he looked mad as hell. He told Derrick to take Hillary to his house and they left us in the store.

"Brandon move so I can pay for my shoes. " He got out the way and left the store.

I payed for my shoes and went to WetSeal. I bought this black fitted dress to wear to the party Saturday. When I walked out the store Brandon grabbed me by my arm roughly and left the mall.

The car ride was silent.

"Aaliyah?" I turned to look at him.

"Yes?"

"Why they hell did you do that?" Really.

" They where pointing and talking shit about me then I ignored her at first then they came towards me and started to ask me why I was here at the mall with you. Then I told her that I don't want you..... you want me and then- "

"WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?! Now she is going to be going around school talking about me and you fuck with each other, not like as friend, as if me and you had sex." I started to silently cry. I looked out the window and Brandon placed his hand on my thigh.

"Why are you crying?" He stopped in front of my house and looked at me.

I didn't answer him I just got my things and opened the door.

He grabbed my hand and I turned to face him. His face expression changes and he look sad.

" I'm sorry for whatever I did to you. " I let go of him and left.

I texted Hillary and told her everything that had just happened. I tried not to cry again as I was thinking about it.

Is it okay if I spend the night at Derrick's place😘☺️💕

I don't care 😑😤😒

Okay thanks boo 😘

I got up off my bed to take a shower. Since it's a Friday night I decided to take a bubble bath. I had the water running until the bubbles filled the tub I got my phone and played some music on pandora.

I got out and dried off and went to bed in my bra and underwear.
