Kamari's POV
I walked into the kitchen part of my dorm and poured myself some orange juice. I sat down on the couch and went through my phone when my phone rang. *O'derian💕* I read to myself with a smile.
*Phone Call*

*End of Phone Call*
O'derian and I have been friends for as long as I can remember but never more. Don't get me wrong, he's cute. Just not my type. I got up and decided I'd just wear sweats pants, a crop top, a flannel around my waist and some vans. By the time I took a shower put on my clothes and straightened my hair, O'Derian was knocking at the door. "Wait a fucking minute" I said grabbing my glasses, keys and my phone off the charger. "Slow ass" he said standing behind me as I locked the door. "How does it feel being 19" he said and when I was about to answer he interrupted "Wait you trynna get these birthday licks?!" he said acting like he was about to punch me as we walked to his car. We got into the car and I snatched the Aux cord up. O'derian smacked his lips "We gone have to listen to your weird ass old music all motha fuckin day" he said playfully. "Hush" I said turning up the music. We drove for a while until we stopped in front of his house. "I need to get something real quick come in with me because I don't know how long it will take" he says all in one breath taking the key out of the ignition and opening his door. When we got inside he turns on the lights and I notice my friends and family and some strangers jump out and yell "SURPRISE". I jumped back scared at first and when my friends ran up to greet me I nearly cried. For about an hour we sat and enjoyed our time until we heard a knock on the door. We all knew who it was. When O'derian opened the door she walked in "hey baby, and hey birthday girl. You know my birthday is tomorrow yours is the 9th mine is the 10th isn't that a coincidence" she babbled on and you can tell she got high before she came over here. O'derian doesn't deserve someone like that. She's not good for him he's trying to be something and all she wants to do is piggy back off of him and be a drug addict junky. When she came a lot of people said their good bye's to me and left but I didn't blame them. By the time another hour passed me and O'derian started cleaning things up and his girlfriend sat and watched. "Deadass get the fuck out or help because you sitting there telling me what to do isn't doing anything but getting you more and more unwelcomed in this house" he said straight faced. "You only act like that when that bitch is here" she said referring to me making me turn my attention towards her "Bitch?" I say raising my eyebrows "Don't" O'derian says looking at me. "Oh don't? After she calls me out of my name and after all the shit she's put you through she don't deserve to get her ass beat?" I yell at him "Let's go" he says grabbing the keys. "Nope I'm good, fuck you get hurt by the bitch a couple more times" I say walking out of the door and slamming it. "It's cold" O'derian says coming outside "I don't really care, there's a restaurant up the street anyway, I'm good" I say starting to walk. It was cold, but my anger is bad and no matter the situation if I end up regretting going off no one is going to know but me. "Kamari, quit playing. You kind of did over exaggerate" O'derian says grabbing my arm. "First off let me fucking go" I say pausing until he did. "Second, that bitch who's done nothing but fuck you over since you met her called ME out of MY name when all I've done is try to respect her...FOR YOU. And you're trying to tell me you wouldn't have acted the same way I'm acting if I had a nigga and he disrespected you?! Fuck out of here with that because to keep it 100 you would've acted even worse" I said continuing to walk "You're right I guess" he said continuing to follow me. "You know I'm right, leave me alone O'derian. I'll call you tomorrow" I said calmly "I guess Kamari, love you baby girl" he said turning around and walking back to his house. I walked a little longer and saw McDonalds I was talking about. It was farther than I thought. I was glad to get inside because it was warm. I glanced over and saw a guy walking out of the bathrooms and back outside. We made eye contact for a minute before he was at the door. Something about him intrigued me. His jaw line was- "Ma'am" I heard the woman behind the counter say impatiently "Yeah, sorry" I said turning my attention to her "What would you like to order?" she said nicely "Uhm, a number 7 to go with a medium cup" I say quickly and she gets it all down "Your total will be $7.23" she said "Okay thank you" I slid over the money and my order was ready quick. When I walked outside I saw the same guy from earlier in a black Escalade on the phone. I got out my phone and quickly dialed my bestfriend's number. 'pick up Amari, Amari, pick up' I think to myself as I call her again. "Fuck" I accidentally say out loud. "You good" I see the guy from earlier walking towards me laughing a little. "Oh, yeah" I say stuttering a little. I wonder if he noticed? He smiled and shook his head "You know it's 27 degrees and you're out here with a crop top on" he said taking off the coat he had on. "Here you go baby girl" he said wrapping it around me. "I wasn't suppose to be out here like this I just came from a birthday party" I say looking at the ground "Who's birthday?" he asked "Mine" I say quietly. He stepped towards me and raised my chin "Happy Birthday baby girl" he said looking into my eyes "Thank you" I say smiling a little. "You wanna tell me why you're out here in the cold on your birthday" he said looking me up and down "Well, it's hard to explain. I pretty much don't have a ride home because I was at one of my bestfriend's house and we got into an argument so I left and now i'm here with no car" I explained lowly "Come on" He said walking towards his truck. When we got in he plugged in the Aux Cord and I heard a familiar song come on. "What song is this?" I ask listening to the lyrics "Rolling Stone by The Weeknd" he said turning it down a little. "Okay so listen, I don't really feel like driving across town in traffic but, my house is just down the street and I can take you home when traffic dies down but if you're uncomfortable with coming to my house we can go find something to do until then" he explained. Before I could respond I started coughing "You got a tissue?" I ask coughing "No, but you're about to be sick" he said double checking his answer and looking in the glove compartment. "Yeah let's just go to your house I guess" I say uncomfortably. When we got to his house it was really nice and clean. "You keep a clean place" I said looking around "Yeah, I don't know that's just how I like things" he said pouring orange juice into a cup. I saw a dog appear from around the hallway corner and gasped a little "Shit" he said spilling his orange juice "You good" he asked taking off his shirt and wiping up the counter "Uh y-y-yeah" I mumbled. He walked over to me and raised my chin up again "Huh" he said acting like he didn't hear me the first time "Yeah" I said looking into his eyes. "Aye what do you wanna watch though?" he asked walking over to the couch to sit down. I hadn't noticed he'd walked away. "I don't care honestly" I said coming to sit next to him. "You want to just listen to music?" he asked adjusting on the couch "Sure" I said. When he turned on the music I heard this angelic voice over the speaker. I've heard it before I just couldn't figure out who it was. It made me feel safe and comfortable. "but hey I didn't catch your name?" I said turning towards him. He just looked at me for a minute but then he got up and went into his kitchen and came back with a bottle of Hennessy. He poured some for himself and took a drink "You want some" he asked looking at me. "Oh, no. I don't drink" I replied quietly "Oh." he said taking another drink. "Can you drive?" He asked turning his attention towards me "Not really" I said looking down "I don't like when you do that" he said raising my chin. "Look at me when we're having a conversation, what I was saying was. I probably shouldn't have drank this because I can't drive drunk" he said "I mean I can try" he said reaching for the keys "I'm good" I said. My words surprised me. I'm not this type of person I've never been. I barely know him he's just so passionate. He's mysterious something about him made me want to know about him. I wanna stay, for some reason.
