Opportunity. It's a form of power. A form of happiness. Many people get the opportunity to get something or they want the opportunity. Imagine the struggle between those who don't get something they need or want.

I sighed and erased everything I wrote.

"Having trouble?" Maurice asked and I rolled my eyes.

"You think? You could be doing something"

He stood up and walked towards his shelf picking up one of his books then handed it to me. "Read the description"

"Why?"

"You wanted to think of something for our book, I mean I'm going a whole different type of direction but, Since we must work together, Read"

I turned the book around and glanced back up at Maurice who's head was tilted. He's been acting exactly like he did the moment we met ever since I changed my mind and turned him down for that event. I was gonna go but Mya put all this thought in my head about date night and I just couldn't do it.

People believe you can't do anything, Well I believe you can.

I glanced at Maurice and again he was smirking

You were made for a reason, A very particular reason and I believe that if you put your mind to it..

"You'll succeed" I finished and he grabbed the book.

"It took me walking around New York seeing people, Hurt and destroyed. Well I don't want to repeat that"

"We're not"

"We're not faith? This is boring and I'm not sure if you've even realized that"

I crossed my arms and leaned in the seat. "What's fun to you then?"

He smiled and wiggled his eyebrows. "Water balloon fights"

"What?"

He stood up and dragged a bucket from under his bed and opened the window where people were walking around or talking.

"Maurice let's not act immature"

He scoffed. "What did I tell you about living?"

He stood on the side of the window and threw a water balloon.

"Awe come on!" Someone yelled and I laughed but put my hand over my mouth to cover it. This is wrong.

"Sit down"

He ignored me and threw two others.

"Really!?"

"My drink!"

He busted out laughing. "You should join"

"No thanks"

He shrugged. "Fine"
