Back in the Day {Malak Watson Story}

Starting Over

Aaron

we got to the new house and everyone has their OWN room. You're probly wondering how can my mom afford to have her four kids each have a room. Well its a three bedroom house with a finish addict and finished basement. Adam sleeps in the basement and Ashanti sleeps in the attic. We started unpacking while mom made dinner. When we were finished dinner was ready at 6:30. It was 7 when me and Ashanti were done and she left out somewhere I guees to explore the neighborhood. I was chilling watching basketball, then I washed my hair and was chilling getting my clothes ready for school. I laid in my bed texting my homies from Hawaii and called it a night. I had fell asleep while watching football.

Ashanti

I was walking around the neighborhood bored. My friends are in Hawaii. My dad is in Hawaii. Malak is in California. The thing about Malak is he'll probly forget about me. We were on the phone and he like completely cut me off and ain't talk to me like that or nun but you know its whatever. Ima just do me and not fuck wit no one like that but my bro and that's okay by me. I found myself at a basketball court on my phone and I was just looking around at everyone. I slid my phone in my pocket and listened to music. A few girls came up to me, the first one light skin long hair and greenish eyes she was about two inches shorter than me. The other was an inch shorter than me my skin tone with long hair and big brown eyes. They told me there names were Destiny and Sanaa. I flicked them off by nodding and continued with my music.

"I haven't seen you around here before" Sanaa said trying to start a conversation. I could tell she wasn't gonna leave me alone she seemed pushy well I'll rephrase that to driven she knows what she wants and right now I guess a conversation with me.

"I'm new just moved here from Hawaii"

"What's ur name?" Destiny asked

"Ashanti"

"Cool so what school are you going to?"

"Some school called Winston Academy, my mom picked it out, if you ask me I think its a white kid school."

"Oh well we go to Winston"

"Really? How is it?"

"Eh it depends on if you hang with the right people."

"Ima loner don't necessarily hang with other people but I guess I can try it"

"We'll hang with you"

"Okay well then I'll see you at sch- GCO"

A basketball cam hurdling at my face and luckily I have good reflexes and I caught. Some boy called after me saying can I get that back. I for some reason had a marker in my pocket and wrote my number on it. I of course need to show off and made a three pointer I then told him you obviously needa work on your passing .

"Well who is gonna help me?"

"Check the ball*winks*"

He looked at the ball and walked over to the bleachers and came back with his phone. Then my phone was ringing and I answered it he looked up at me and said hello. I hung up and was laughing he had to make sure this was me. He saved my number in his phone and I his we switched for a second and put each other's name in it and a picture. When I got my phone back it said Daddi and there was picture of this caramel ass boi as his contact. I took a picture as well and I looked like a fine ass bitch if I say so myself I gave him his phone and it said My Bbg, so yea I was kinda flirting what your point me and Malak aren't getting back together unless I move to Cali or he move to Philly seeing him is unlikely. I told him my name and he told me his name is Josh. To be honest he was fine as hell, but I needa friend more than a boyfriend maybe later but a guy like that could get a girl in a day. But boy, this dude had dimples and he looked so cute with them on.

Josh

Yo this girl was so pretty I was smiling so big my dimples were showing too, then she started blushing and didn't wanna look at me so she kept her head down. I lifted her face up from her chin and looked into her eyes when she looked into mine her eyes changed colors they were green now then gray. I told her a beautiful girl shouldn't keep her head down because you're hiding your beauty from the world. She giggled oh my god it wasn't her looks that hit me, or her ability to play basketball, it was that laugh right there now I'm star struck. I know I'm only 12 but this girl was something different and even though everyone formed their friends already and she came in the middle of he year, its something about her and I want her to hang wit me. She gave me a hug goodbye and with that said bye to Sanaa and Destiny then she was on her way home on her skateboard isn't she like perfect what other girl is like this?! She's my dream girl and I hope she'll wanna be mine because I like her even thought I just met her. I just stood there while watching her ride her skateboard away and her hair flow through the wind.
