Two.

Days went by since Sherwin uttered those life changing words to me. Before there were never an issue with seeing his person, but now it was as if he had vanished from the world. Growing restless, I tossed Tokyo's magazine onto the floor then sat up.

"What's the matter baby girl? You've been huffing and puffing ever since you've gotten here." Tokyo asked, petting her kitten underneath it's soft white fur.

"I-it's...nevermind. It's stupid." I muttered, laying on my back.

"I'm sure it's not. Spill it." She smiled, adjusting her glasses onto the bridge of her nose.

"Well..I kind of have a crush on Sherwin. And now it's like he's just walked off of the face of the Earth, before I could even get to know him." I sighed, catching Tokyo making a stink face from the corner of my eye.

"Sherwin? Why him out of all people? He isn't your type." She sneered.

"How would you know what my type is?" I asked, sitting up to glare at her.

"Don't get your panties in a twist honey. I was just saying. I think you should forget about that little crush and invest your time into someone else."

"Why is that?" I snapped.

"Because he wouldn't go for you. He likes girls like me. Thick and confident." She grinned.

"Wow. So what are you trying to say? That I'm insecure?" I asked, getting off of her bed. Sighing, she rolled her eyes, then grabbed her phone. Typing for a few seconds then placing it on her lap, my phone beeped. Pulling it out of my pocket, I opened the message that she sent to me.

"Who's number is this?" I asked.

"Sherwin's. I already know that you're not going to give up on this little crush thing, so there you go. Take your chance, and get your heart broken." She stated, matter of fact.

"I will!" I replied, storming out of her room then out of her house. I'm beginning to wonder if she's really my friend or not.

It was exactly six o' clock on the dot, when I worked up enough courage to text the foreign number that was sent to me by my alleged friend. I typed something up, deleted it, then typed something new a total of thirty times, until I decided on keeping it simple and sending, "Hey". Tossing my phone down on the couch, I climbed on top of the arm rest then stared at it; as if it would come alive and attack me.

6:00 Me- Hey.

6:02 Sherwin- Who dis??

Surprised that he replied back, I squealed then ran a couple of laps around my house in excitement. Okay, okay, calm down Yazz.

6:05 Me- Uh...Yasmine.

6:05 Him- Yasmine who? I know mad hoes with that name.

6:06 Me- Yasmine Catten.

6:07 Me- We met at Tokyo's house...

I added when he didn't reply right away.

6:10 Him- I know who you are sweetheart. So wassuh?

6:10 Me- Nun much. Chillin.

6:12 Him- Is that so? How'd you get my number tho?

6:12 Me- Don't worry about all of that. ;)
