Omniscient POV

The car ride was awkward and silent. Neither of them said anything but at the same time they didn't want it to be weird and a waste of time of seeing each other. " Are you really gonna be mad at me because I didn't put out ?" Corey says, finally speaking up.

"No" was all she said before they pulled up in the parking lot. Which he knew she was actually mad. He parked the car and killed the engine. "Whats your deal man, if you're gonna act like this then I can go home." All she did was sigh and look out the window. He shook his head and started the car back up.

"What are you doing?" she says.

"Ohhhhh so now you want to talk to me? Yeah I'm going home." She didnt know what to say so she decided not to say anything. They pulled up to his house and he handed her, her keys stepping out of the car. "Hit me up when you decide to find your voice." She looks at him dumbfounded and walks around of the car getting in the drivers seat, speeding down the street.

Corey didn't know why she was acting all weird but he wasn't getting ready to wait around for her to finally speak up. He walks right past the commotion in the living room involving his family. He stays with his mom but he hated living there. Corey was always antisocial and barely talked to his family because he stays to himself a lot. He walks downstairs to his room and plops on the bed pulling out his phone calling the one person who he knows will help takes his mind off of things.

*ring ring ring*

"Hello?" Her voice is like music to his ears.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I was waiting for your ass to text me back" She says in a ghetto voice. I laugh sighing afterwards.

"Is there something wrong?

"Yeah" He goes on telling her about what happened with Dejah and a few other things that have been on his mind. Before they knew it , it was 2am and he was getting tired but he wanted to ask her one question before he fell asleep. "So when do you think we'll meet in person?" She was was silent for a little bit which made him hesitant.

"Well i don't know , I haven't thought of that. You have a girlfriend, why would you want to meet me now?

"Because I want to see in person who I've been talking to"

"Nigga this aint catfish." He cracked up laughing. Wait are you a catfish?"

The phone went silent and he could hear a few light snores indicating she fell asleep. He smiled to himself and got comfortable closing his eyes.

*4 MONTHS LATER*

"Really bestfriend? You really broke up with her?" I said into the phone. I was talking to corey about him FINALLY breaking up with his ugly looking girlfriend.

"Yeah, but its weird though; ever since me and you started becoming close , me and her was becoming more distant." He said honestly

"I was feeling the same way. I honestly think its my fault you guys broke up. I know that was your first love." I rolled my eyes at the thought. Over these four months me and Corey became closer and closer. Like so close that we would tell each other when we was taking a shit. It like we were meant to meet each other in a way. We started calling each other 'bestfriend'. Which I didn't like because I was beginning to develop a small crush on him. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard him yelling my name.

"Yes boy I'm still here. But I'm glad to know you don't think I ruined your relationship, But i have to go my mom wants to talk about something"

"Okay bye gorgeous" I smile at the phone and hang up. I walk down the stairs to my moms room to hear her laughing hysterically on the phone with her friend. "Yaasss girl you finna get dicked down." I laughed and sat on her bed. She got off the phone and told me that she would be going out of town for the weekend to memphis.

Her going out of town is nothing that really excites me because I really don't do anything but stay in the house anyway. So I just planned to watch movies and eat junk food. She was in her room packing to leave when she asked

"Why don't you go to a friends house."

"I will maybe on Saturday" I lied. I liked having the house to myself not having to get up every five minutes because my mom is to lazy to get up and get her a glass of water. Once she finished packing she was heading towards the door telling me a list of rules to follow. My mom didn't haven't to worry about anything because I rarely get in trouble unless she yells at me about having so many dishes in the sink, when in actuality it just be a fork.

She left out and I closed to the behind her "Love you." I go back to my room and call Corey.

-COREY

I was rolling a blunt when the song "Where ya at" by future plays indicating it was Khari. I answered the phone licking the swisher paper in the process. "What are you doing?" she ask curious. She didn't know I smoked so I decided not to tell her right now. "Oh nothing just trying to find something to eat" I say trying to change the subject.

"Why is it so quiet over there."

"Because nobody is here for the weekend, nobody loves me." She starts faking crying. I laugh at her stupidity. I love her; only if she knew.

"Wait so you're home alone?" I asked as a plan was brewing in my head.

"Yeaahhh, why?"

Me and Khari have never met in person. Yeah I know you're wondering how do we live so close to each other but have never met. Ive wondered the same thing. But we both have stuff going on so I didn't press it. But this would be the perfect time to meet.

"What if i come come over? I asked. She hesitated but agreed to it. Were finally going to meet. I smile hard at the thought.

*******

-KHARI

I agreed but I quickly regretted it. I was so nervous. What if he thinks I'm ugly in person? What if its awkward? I go to the bathroom and try to look my cutest for him. My stomach was doing backflips and shit.

*1 hour later*

An hour has passed and I realized he isn't going to show. I slowly start taking off my clothes when I hear a knock at the door. I panic and stand in my place until he knocks again. I go to the door and open it. There he is. Standing so handsome. God he's cute. We don't say anything for a while but i invite him in. When he comes in I hugged him. He hugged me back squeezing me tighter. He pulls back and looks me in my eyes.

This feels right.
