Armani sat in his English class with his head resting on his palm. His English teacher, Ms. Langley cleared her throat so she could get their attention.

"Alright y'all, this week we are doing an at home partner project. You're going be working with the person next to you and all you have to do is create a story that reflects both your personalities." She spoke looking at the class.

Armani sighed, looking over at Peyton to see her already looking at him. "I'm so excited to work with you, whose house we gonna do it at?" She enthusiastically asked him. Do I want her at my house? She acting like she finna do sum' to me Armani thought to himself.

"We can do it at my house, it don't really matter to me" Mani boredly said. "Alright cool! Can I get your number so you can text me the address and stuff?" Peyton asked, holding out her phone. Armani let out another sigh before he put his number in.

"Are you free to do it today? I think we should get started on it early since it's due on Friday." The girl twirled her one of her box braids. "Yeah that's cool, I'll text you my address and you can just text me when you on the way" Armani agreed seeing as the project was due on Friday and it was already Tuesday.

The bell rung, signaling class was over. Armani packed up his stuff and left out the room to head to his next class.

He went to his next class which was Math and then Science and lunch next. When he walked into the cafeteria, he went over to his usual table, seeing Jayvion already sitting there.

"Wassup Mani, you good?" Jay asked when he looked up and noticed Mani. "I'm okay" Armani nodded his head as he sat down at the table. Neither one of them actually ate the school food since Jay could afford for them to eat when they left school.

"I'm gonna go see my momma sometime this week, you wanna come? She been asking about you, saying she miss you and stuff" Jayvion asked, looking into his bestfriend's eyes. "Yeah I'll go I miss auntie too" Mani said with a small smile on his lips.

Jayvion nodded his head but before either of them could say another word, Kasey walked up to Jay. He also had this lunch with them but he always sat with his friends. "Jay, give me five dollars for the vending machine please" Kasey said trying to do puppy dog eyes.

"Mmcht, here broke ass nigga" Jayvion smacked his lips as he pulled a five dollar bill out his back pocket and handed it to the younger boy. "At least I don't share a bed with my bestfriend at eighteen" Kasey mumbled, pursing his lips as ran off before Jayvion could take the money back.

"Can't stand that lil' nigga" Jay shook head as Armani let out a small chuckle at their antics. They spent the rest of lunch talking about random things.

With school being over, Armani, Jayvion, and Kasey got into Jay's car, sitting in their usual seats. They rode in a comfortable silence, seeing as they were all tired from the boring school day.

On the way home, they did the usual routine of stopping to get some food.

"Bro Mani when we get home I need you to distract Ma, I forgot to do my project and the teacher said she was gonna call" Kasey said to his brother, leaning in the front seat. Armani rolled his eyes and pushed Kasey's head back, making him fall back into the seat.

"Oh yeah speaking of projects, Peyton coming over later so we can work on a group project for English" Mani told his Jay, knowing he was gonna stay over.

"That's that lil' mixed joint with the fat ass?" Kasey bit his lip, being nosy. "Nigga mind yours" Jayvion rolled his eyes, not liking the sound of Armani potentially being attracted to her.
