⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀• 17 more days.

"are you crazy? that's basically homie hopping Amira," leila said looking through my closet.

i rolled my eyes and scoffed. she always has something negative to point out whenever i feel good about myself, "you obviously didn't hear the part where i told you Nate was flirting with another girl all last night."

"just because he was flirting with another girl doesn't mean you go on a date with one of his friends."

i looked over at her and saw her now looking through my draw, "what are you looking for?"

"oh nothing."

i shook my head and made my way over to my closet. i wondered if i should wear a white two piece dress with nude colored heels or a black bralette, green bomber jackets, ripped jeans with black timbs.

"hey leila, I have a question."

"what?" she asked now stuffing her face with cold McDonalds fries.

"which outfit should i wear?" i questioned hold of both outfits up against my body to give her an image of what i would look like in it.

she examined both outfits, "where is he taking you?"

"not sure."

"i would go with the ripped jeans outfit that's always a good go to outfit."

i nodded my head and smiled. she may get on my nerves sometimes but she knows good fashion. making my way into the bathroom i got my towel and everything i needed to get dress with.

"amira, somebody is here for you," my mother called from downstairs, "and he brought flowers."

leila and i both looked at each other and made our way downstairs. before we were able to get to the bottom of the stairs, we were greeted by Sammy smiling with a tux on. when i saw that he had a tux on my smile turned into a frown.

"you look really nice amira," Sammy said handing me the bouquet of red and white roses.

"thank you, you don't look too bad yourself."

"hey i'm leila, her best friend. listen to me if you hurt her or make her feel uncomfortable on this date i will hunt you down and kill you," leila said while taking the roses away from me, "oh by the way i think nate is way better for her than you."

i scoffed and rolled my eyes. she didn't seem to care about how nate was the one who stood me up at a bar. oh and he's the one who made me spend my money on a fake i.d. where was this leila at when all of that went down?

"she's just joking, come on." i said kissing my mothers cheek and walking out to Sammy's car.

"i can't believe you wore a tux just because you thought it would make my parents like you more," i said laughing as we made our way into chick fil la, "my parents wouldn't have judged you if you walked in with what you have on now."

"thanks for telling me now" Sammy said getting in line.

so far our date has been amazing. we went to the movies, he bought me a couple of things from Victoria Secret and now we're getting food from chick fil a.

"so i know this date wasn't all that but how did you like it?" Sammy asked after he ordered our food, "and would you ever consider going on another date with me?"

i shrugged and smiled, "it was actually fun and enjoyed myself and i would consider going on another date with you but i get to pay for everything."

"deal."

Sammy grabbed our food and sat down at a table. we talked for an half hour after we were done eating and i learned a lot about him. For instance, he wants to make it big in the music industry. i mean if it was any other guy i would've thought it was just a phase every guy goes through but the way he talks about music tells me he really likes it.

i guess i was thinking long and hard because Sammy was calling my name while waving his hands in my face.

"what?" i asked finally coming back to my senses.

"you kept nodding your head and staring at me for at least 5 minutes," he replied laughing, "you ready to go back home?"

"yeah."

⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀later on tonight

it's now 11:45 and i got everything ready for school tomorrow. i took my shower and ready to hit the bed. grabbing my diary and pen, i climbed into bed and started writing:

dear diary,
today i had a date,
it wasn't with nate but with his friend.
i thought if i went out with his friend he'll get jealous and finally give me attention.
but sadly i'm not old enough for him,
i'm just waiting till i'm eighteen.
⠀⠀  ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀17 more days.

i closed the diary and set it on my night stand. turning off my light and checking my phone, i had an unread message from Samuel.

text message: i had a great time tonight and hope you get a goodnight sleep.

i smiled and messaged back 'goodnight'. if nate's not going to give me any attention until i'm eighteen then i guess Sammy could until then.

i know it's been a while since i updated but i've been really busy with work and school. i try to update every Saturday. anyways, i was at the New York concert when everything went down between the security guards and the boys and it was crazy. everybody was screaming and i have a video of when nate came back out and was hanging out with us. he was shocked about how that went down as well. i wish we were able to share our videos on here but whatever. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.
