"De'arra getcho ass up and clean this room!" I groaned and rolled my eyes as my momma slammed the door. I grabbed my phone and texted my bestfriend NiKayla.

Me: Bby gal??
NiNi Babyy: Yas bew?
Me: My og off the shits again, you wanna come over ?
NiNi Babyy: Naa bae, I can't Brandon coming over😏💦
Me: Aww shit look at you

Me: But frfr be careful guh that nigga a straight up thug lbvvs
NiNi Babyy: Truu but I got it
Me: iight, gtg love you ma
NiNi Babyy: Love you too sessy

I laughed and got on snapchat and scrolled through people's stories. After a few minutes I put some music on and started cleaning. An hour later I finished and walked downstairs. My mom was there working on her computer as always, the only time ha ass say something to us is when she yelling. I walk into the kitchen and make me some chicken strips. My younger sister Daniela comes in and looks in the oven.

"Can I get a few?" I shrug and she thanks me and walks away. As I wait I pull out my phone and play candy crush. A few minutes later the oven dings and I pull out the chicken and put some on my plate, leaving some for Dani. I walk back to my room and eat, I get a text from NiKayla.

NiNi Babyy: Bihh, Ka'ron here and he asking all types of questions bout you. Ima slap him😂💯 you betta getcha man.
Me: 😒😐 Guh, ain't nobody thinking bout him💯, I'm just trying to get my diploma and go to college and get drafted 💯
NiNi Babyy: I know that's right!😂💯but honestly I think you should give it a shot💯
Me: ion know tbh, he with that drug shit and I can't fw that
NiNi Babyy: Truu but can you come over here cause clearly I ain't getting no d 😂💯
Me: I'm dying fsee but yeah give me 30 mins

I put my phone on the charger and hop in the shower. I know I said I wasn't with that drug dealer shit but I lowkey like Ka'ron. I'm thinking about him as I get out of the shower and walk to my closet. I pick out a baseball jersey, pants , and some timbs. I sit down at my desk and do my hair and make up . I grab my phone and purse and looked at myself in my mirror, I looked fine. I'm 5'10 1/2 , black and Puerto Rican, with medium length curly hair that I've straightened to perfection. I smiled and walked to dani's room and knocked.

"Yeah?"
"Did you get your chicken?"
"Nah, I'm bout to tho, thanks. Where you going?"
"NiNis house"
"Awe ok, bye"
"Bye" I walked downstairs , grabbed my car keys and drove to NiNi's house. I knocked on the door 5 mins later. She opened the door and smiled giving me a big ass hug. I walked in and saw Brandon laid out on the couch and Ka'ron sitting by the window smoking a blunt. He saw me smiled and put it down and walked over to me.

"Wassup ma?"
"Hay Ka'ron"
"What you been on?"
"Nothing school and practice"
"Awe that's right my baby play ball" I rolled my eyes
"Quit playing lil boy, I'm not yo baby"
"Not yet, you not" he smirked
"Boy stop, I'm not gone even entertain that thought"
"You mean as hell ma" he put his hand to his heart and acted hurt. I just shrugged and walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a water. NiKayla threw a pillow at my head as I walked into the room.

"Always eating my food hoe" I laughed and tossed it back. I sat down on the edge of the couch, and Ka'ron comes over and sits on the couch pulling me into his lap. I roll my eyes and try to get up but he pulls me back down. NiKayla and Brandon smirk and laugh. Ka'ron leans forward so his chest is pressed into my back and he whispered in my ear.

"Listen ma, I know you ain't trying to fuck with me because of what I do but, I'm feeling you hard as fuck. I have been for the last year." I sighed but in the inside I was geeked as fuck. I took his hand and led him outside. I looked at him and tried to act calm but his hand entangled with mines was driving me crazy.

"Look Ka'ron I'm lowkey feeling you too but I can't be worried about wether you gone come home to me every night or not" he nodded

"I get it"

"I'm really trying to focus on school and my career right now" he nodded, looked at me and bit his lip.

"Yeah I know what I do is stressful and dangerous but I'm careful and I can take care of myself but I wanna come home and have a girl to take care of too. I can't see myself with nobody but you right now" I sighed and held his hand tighter.

"Ok, one date and we'll see what happens" he smiles and picks me up hugging me, I laugh. He puts me down and grabs my hand and we walk into the house , he sits on the couch and I sit on his lap ignoring NiKayla's confused looks.

"Well I'll be damned,Ka'ron finally got you huh?" NiKayla asked and I laughed

"Naa not yet but he might" he wrapped his arms around my waist and squeezed gently. I can't wait till Friday.
