"Hey Rich?"
"Wassuh babygirl"
"Do you ever think you're gonna fall in love?"
" Who says I'm not falling already?"

It was 7 pm. Justin was coming over at 7:15 so I had to make sure everything looked nice.
" okay food? Check. Music? Check. Clean house? Check. Me?" I had on some black leggings and a big grey sweater. " check." Might as well be myself. The doorbell rang and Genova answered the door.
" ohhh daddy! It's a sexy white boy at the door!" Genova screamed.
" let me see." My dad walked up to the door and eyed Justin up and down. " who are you?"
" um I'm Justin. Arden and I have a project for school and she invited me over."
" Arden!" I walked down out of my room and joined everybody by the front door.
" yes dad?"
" why didn't you tell me that you were having company...male company?"
" because you would over react. But don't worry it's just for the next 3 weeks. Anyways, Justin, this is my dad Eric, and my sister Genova. Dad, Gen, this is my new friend Justin. "
"nice to meet you both" Justin shook Gen and my dads hand.
" nice to meet you too son. And Arden you know the rule, boys out by 12"
" I got it dad. Come on justin my rooms right here" i lead him to my room.
" wow, this is really nice. I'm guessing you're a minimalist?"
" yup. In my eyes simplicity is key. I don't like too many colors....or too much of anything in general. U get the best with the least."
" I like the way you think." He sat down on my bed next to me.

"Really? Most people think I'm an introvert....which I am, but real talk, I don't think other people are as deep as I am. I love deep conversations and talking about my dreams and the future and love. I love to look at art and write poetry and rap. I don't think the important things get enough appreciation."
" wow. That was beautiful. I understand you though. Art in general is the only thing that really speaks to me. But you said you rap?"
" yeah....and sing."I smile shyly.
" spit some bars then."
" really?"
" really. I'll give you a beat." Justin gives me a small beat with his mouth and I start to rap.
