Cinco

Omniscient pov:

Armani walked out of the school, getting ready to head to Jayvion's car. Before he could make his way over there, he heard somebody yelling his name.

He contemplated not even turning around because he didn't really talk to anybody at school but he stopped anyway just in case. When he turned around, he saw Chris running up to him.

"Damn I finally caught up to you" Chris said while trying to catch his breath. "Wassup?" Mani said in his usual quiet voice, confused on what the boy wanted from him.

"I was wondering if I could get your number" Chris smiled. "For what?" Armani questioned, considering the fact they weren't friends and barely talked. "You seem like cool peoples and I just wanna hang out sometime ya' know?" Chris said.

"I guess..." Armani mumbled, not sure about the whole thing. He put his number in Chris' phone before continuing his way to Jay's car.

Jayvion was already at his car, watching the whole interaction. Without even realizing, his jaw clenched when he saw Chris give Armani his phone. He stood there watching until Mani got close to the car. Kasey would be staying after school again so he wasn't coming.

Once he reached the door, they both got in. "What that nigga wanted?" Jayvion asked once they both got settled. "He just wanted my number to hang out or sum" Armani mumbled.

"You barely even talk so what made him wanna be friends with you" Jay scrunched his face up. Mani just shrugged his shoulders, not knowing the reason why himself. He didn't really dwell on it though, not caring if they ended up being friends or not.

Jayvion on the other hand thought the boy was weird for randomly wanting to be friends. He just shook his head, started the car, and left the school.

When they left, they did their usual routine and then Jay dropped Mani off at home before going to "work".

Since Armani would have the house to himself for a while, he decided to just take a nap. He went up to his bedroom and set his stuff down before going to his closet and changing into some comfortable clothes. As soon as he got in his bed, his phone started ringing.

He doesn't really get much calls other than from his mom, Jayvion, or Kasey, seeing as that's really the only people he talked to. Since it was an unknown number he decided to just answer. "Hello?" He said lowly. "Yo Armani? It's Chris" a voice spoke.

"Oh sup, why you calling?" Mani asked the boy. "Well first off all, I just prefer calling over texting and I wanted to know if you was tryna hang out tomorrow?" Chris replied.

Armani thought about it for a minute before agreeing. Tomorrow was Saturday and he didn't have any plans and Jayvion usually sold during the day on weekends so he wouldn't be hanging out with him.

"Alright cool, I'll see you" Chris said before hanging up. Mani put his phone on the dresser before getting comfortable in his bed and falling asleep.

a few hours later

Armani sat up in his bed stretching, feeling good after his nap. He heard noises downstairs so he went to go see who was home.

When he made it down there, he saw Jayvion, Kasey, and surprisingly his mother. She usually doesn't get off work until later so he wondered what she was doing there so early.
