"So I heard your mixtape, it was pretty dope." He said looking Des sternly in the eye.
Des just shook his head, I could tell he was nervous due to him fiddling his fingers.
"You should drop one single from the tape on YouTube. You know to see how the media responds, then I'll see after that." Pharrell said.
Des shook his head "Ok, that will be great." I knew he was really excited about this but he never showed any emotion so it was hard to understand his feelings from an outsider point of view.
They then shook hands and we left the building.

A month went pass and Des was deliberating for over a month which song to use from the album for the video . Ty and I are cool now, we have that friendship where we fall out and get back to being friends type of situation.
"I want you to be in my video Chris. You know?" Des said as we walked to the park.
"When is it?" I said without even asking what I was going to be doing in the video, I just wanted to get it over with, it was still cold and I was only doing this for his come up.
"Today, it's at the park." He said
"Nigga what?" I said frowning at him , why he always do stuff last minute?
I promise you it will be a hit, just wait!
We were at Des house in his room helping out with what to do with the video. He really was wanted to impress Pharrell but I didn't want him to stress over some shit like this.
Des is 3 years older than me. I'm in my junior year of high school now and I'm 17. Typically, us dating is "illegal" but I care for him and in 1 more year I will be 18 , and I promised he will be the one to take my virginity.
"I think imma chose track 2 ." Des said writing it down.
"What the name of the song?" Ty asked
"Track 2." Des said with a blank expression. I just busted out laughing.
"iight nigga." Ty said with the "nigga please" look.
Ty and I go waaaayy back. I remember when I met him, little...well not little, 13 year old me. He came from New Orleans and his accent was strong as hell. He still don't pronounce his words right but, he is very smart. His dad was some traveler of "mix breed" he said. He took pictures of people , but he wasn't s photographer. He met his mother in Ethiopia and he was made. He said he had like 13 siblings but he talked to none of them. He came here I guess to live a "better" life but I don't know how he did this bullshit with Chicago weather.
"I need to get home . My mom probably wondering where I'm at, freaking the hell out." I said gettin my scarf , and putting my boots on.
"I'll take you, I know yo ass don't want to catch the bus." Ty got up putting his coat and boots on.
"K. Don't be trying nothing with my girl nigga." Des said laughing but I knew he was serious .... Last year I was walking down the street and a boy snuck up and kissed me. Des punched his ass dead in the face. That escalated quickly....
Ty lived all the way on the south, a couple blocks from Des's house.
"Hol up, I gotta get something out the house. " as he pulled in front of his house . I rolled my eyes , but I let him go.
"Don't act like det." He said looking me in the eyes. His accent really showed when he was mad or concerned.
"This shit I'm getting is for you." He said
"Oh ...iight." I said smiling
"Yeah...you betta say "Oh iight" he said smirking.
He came back out 5 min later with a box in his hand. He set it in the cup holder.
"What's that?" I said staring at the box. It was teal, with a sparkly silver lining. My favorite colors. "You trying to marrying me...awwww. But no. " I said laughing.
"Well, I wasn't going to ask you anyways for my hand in marriage, but my ma wanna come and see you." He said
"Okay." I got out the car walking to the door right next to him. I was holding on to his shoulder because I didn't want to bust my shit in this ice. I haven't seen his mother and months and I really liked her. She had a strong accent but she was very beautiful and was a kindle spirit. She was immigrant from Ethiopia and she moved so Ty can have a better life.
"Hey Miss Ali. " I said giving her a hug
"Honey, you look so grown and beautiful. I just wanted to see how you been doing." She did wrapping her head in a head scarf.
"I'm doing fine. And you?" I asked
"Well. Just trying to pull through. " She eyed Ty while saying this. I did not know exactly was going but it was confusing as hell. Soon the phone rang and Ty's mother answered it.
"Yes... I told you....you need to stop taking that stuff ...I don't feel like talking...he is fine....yeah he will see you... Bye. " Miss Ali looked annoyed will talking on the phone, I didn't know exactly who it was but she didn't seem to look interested in talking to them.
"Bye ma, I'll be back in an hour or two." Ty said grabbing my arm taking me out the door. That was weird. We soon got into the car and he told me to open the box.
In the box was this pretty opal necklace, it wasn't know diamonds but it was pretty as hell. It was my birthstone.
"Ty, you know what I like. " I said smiling holding it up.
"It's a late birthday present, I didn't get you anything for you. So here it is now." He said looking me in the eye.
Reminder me and Ty are friends . He just .. A really close friend. I care about him and if anything happens to him in beating someone's ass.
He put the necklace on me and he took me home.WR- Hope you like! I'm really nervous about this story and I hope you like it. This is my first time writing a full blown story on Wattpad. Like , vote , and comment please!
