"Ight" I said and I hugged her and kissed her cheek and I kneeled down and kissed mersadies cheek. I walked away and sighed. I walked into buckle and walked in the hat section. I grabbed hella hats. Of course I ain't grabbed em cause I seen. took em cause I liked them. I walked over to the counter and sighed cause the line was long. "Your annoying" I heard a voice say and I glanced, it was group of girls. I turned away and looked straight ahead. "Excuse me" somebody said. I looked back and moved up. "My fault" I said and she smirked. Her other friends walked by too. Na one in the back looked mad good. Well her body did. Couldn't really see her face. She turned and I stared at her. It was mariah. She pushed her hair back and I watched her as she spoke to her friend. "Sir" the lady at the counter said. "Oh shit my fault" I said as I put the hats on the counter. "258" she said and I nodded and pulled the money out my pocket and counted out the amount and gave it to her. "Lets go" I heard her friend say and they started to walk out the store. "Thanks"I said and I grabbed the bag and walked out. I was debatin on whether I should speak. When I left we wasn't on good terms. she probably forgot about a nigga. Shit I guess ima risk it. "Yo" I yelled as I ran. "Ayo" I said and they all looked back and stopped and she stared at me. Her friend tapped her and pointed at me and she stared at me. I walked over to them and her eyes got wide. "Seaton" she yelled and I smirked. "Wassup" I said and she stared at me. "How are you" she asked. "Yo we gonna catch up wit you later" her friend said. "Alright." She said and they smirked and walked away. "I'm ight. How you been" I asked. "I been good. I can't believe this is you. you look different" she said. "You do too" I said and she smirked and I licked my lips and she smiled. "Wanna get some to eat" I asked and she smirked and nodded. We walked to the Chinese shop and ordered our food then sat down. "Yo I aint seen you in 3 years" I said. "I know right" she said as she ate her food. "And you said you wouldn't see me again" I said. "I didn't think I would." She said and I nodded and sipped from my straw. "I kind of missed you" she said and I laughed. "Word" I said and she nodded. "Just a little" she said. "Girl bye.

"I ain't wit nobody. Just got somebody to chill wit" I said. "Thats good" she said. "What about you" I asked. "Oh no. I'm not chilling, dating, kickin it. Nothing" she said and I laughed. "All of that is too much. I tried it. Like to find a friend but he was too much" she said. "I'm by myself" she said. "Don't nobody deserve to be alone" I said.
