Desmond. He was mysterious. It was hard to explain him. When my mom met him she thought he was nice. His pants was not sagging, he had a nice smile, he spoke well, he dressed appropiately, in her eyes he was well kept. My dad, well he felt the same. He told me to never bring a boy home that looked like he just came off the street. I followed that. Little did they know, Desmond was not at all like that. See I love him, I'm saying it now but he can't be selling drugs forever. He was one of those sophisticated niggas. He wore a suit when he sold and looked like he was some nigga out of a Matrix movie. I was going to college soon and I had to leave this life behind.

Walking to School

"Girl, you know Ms. Robinson got pregnant with some lady's husband, that's why she resigned" Tammy told me.

See Tammy my home girl, we been besties since 3rd grade. She goes to a different school than me, but we walk to the bus stop everyday together.

"That's interesting" I replied looking for the bus.

"Don't play with me Chris." she said side eyeing me.

It was 11 degrees outside and in Chicago this was not the coldest but it was cold enough that I could see my breathe.

"So how is you and Dezzy." she said cheesing

"Girl Bye. I know he messing around with some hoes. He still think me and Ty together."

"Yeah, but those jealous ones be a keeper you just got stick by his side. He will come through with that music stuff shit." Tammy said

"Yeah. I just don't know I can't be relying on no man for support" I replied.

"Well, I'll see you girl tell Ty I said Hey." Tammy said as she got on a different bus number than mine. She liked Ty, honestly I did not see what she saw in him. As a friend Ty was phenomenal, he was funny, you could have deep conversations with him, he was good FRIEND. If I was to date him, I don't know if I could do that. He was not bad looking he just was not my type. He introduced me Des. Afterall, I owe it to him for getting me tied in all this. But I think of him as my brother, nothing more.

I soon made it to school walking in to the cafeteria since I was early.

"Chris! Where were you yesterday at Cameron's party. It was popping!" Rella said. She been my friend since my Freshman year in highschool.

"You know I had to work to get that cream. You know what I mean." I said laughing giving her a hug.

Ty sooned walked in.

"Why you walking like that" I said staring him down.

"Just trying to pimp all the hoes" he said limping, cheesing like it was cameras around

"Boy sit down." I said pulling him down

Ty was a fool, but i loved him as a friend.

"So how yo boo thang doing?" he said looking like he was really interested

"Why you wanna know. You don't even like his ass." I said mugging

"You know that's my homie." He said pulling out a bag of Cheetos

"Didn't seem like it yesterday when you left his ass and he had to find his car." I said rolling my eyes

"Why you always acting like a bitch?" He said mugging me.
I know he did not just call me a bitch.
"What's your problem?" I said getting it once the belled ringed. Every Time I talked about Des around him and their "friendship" he always got angry if I talked too much about it.

After school Des picked me up. He ditched school again. I hopped into his car giving him a kiss.

"Wassup Shawty?"  He said pulling off

"Nothing much. Just chilling. How about you?" I asked already knowing he wasn't going to tell me the full story.

"Shit nothing. I was just slanging at Ruckie's house.

"Mhm." I said shaking my head.

"I gave my mixtape to this producer. He said that he liked it. He want to have a meeting with me. I want you to come with me. " he said staring at me while we were at a red light

"What if it is something flaky?" I said looking at him concerned.

" I doubt that shit. I heard he worked with a lot of stars. You probably know him." He said as the light changed.

I wondered who he was talking about and I was not trying to deal with nothing that was not going to happen. He been rapping and doing tapes about 5 years and it never went nowhere, hopefully it does sometime soon.

We soon arrived to this building that look like some fancy executive office. I did not know he was thinking about meeting him today. We got out the car and started walking into the building holding hands.

"Hello, I'm here to meet Pharrell." Des said to a lady at the front desk

At first I was like who the fuck is Pharrell. But then it hit my dumb ass. When I was in my Sophomore year in high school it was some big song called drop it like its hot and everyone loved it. He sung on it. At this moment I had no idea what to do.

"What is your name sir?" The lady at the front desk asked

"Desmond Long" he said looking nervous

"Okay Mr. Long I have your name right here. He will be with you shortly." She said smiling

We sat down for maybe two hours.I was ready to go and was not about to wait on nothing that was not guaranteed. He was luckily it was a Friday and I didn't have work. Two minutes later a lady with a slick bun instructed us to come to this office.

There was Pharrell sitting down with a CD infront of him. We sat down in sits Infront of him.

WR-Hopefully whoever is reading is enjoying the story so far. I will change the cover soon but I want to make it absolutely fabulous. Christian is in media and is below (probably).
