Marîland

"I miss you too!" Marîland says.

"Why did you have to move?"

"Idk.. My mom said that this is where the money and the good jobs are at."

"I need you to come back to Philly though!"

"I know.. I'll come visit you sometimes if I can.. But I'll talk to you later Love Bug.. I gotta go. Muah! Love you!"

"I love you more Baby Cakes!" Muah!"

*Author's note*

Marîland always talks to her "Day 1 Shawty". Her name is Atlantis.

After I hang up my phone and put it on the charger, I go in the bathroom and take a long, hot, shower. I would go look at high schools buuuut it's Saturday, and I just got here. Once I get out the shower, I look in my suitcase and look for an outfit. I pick out my grey loose-fitting sweater, my acid wash high-waisted jeans, and my grey army fatigue Converse sneakers. I let my hair out, and it's all curly from the shower I took. So then I grabbed my wallet and phone and I walked out the door.

I'm walking to the mall, and I see this tall, light-skinned, Puerto Rican looking boul. He's fine as s---. I'm not trynna holla tho.. I had enough troubles in my life. In plus, I don't make the first move.

"How you doing beautiful?"

"Fine!"

"Woah! What did I do? I'm just trynna be nice."

"I know.. My bad. I just..... Nothing, neva mind."

"Nah ma. I know we don't know each other buuuuut what's on ya mind?"

"It's nothing I gotta go."

"Yo beautiful.. Can I get ya name?... Please?"

"It's Marîland."

"Thanks.. I'm Padro."

Boy he was fine as f----. I gotta keep my composure.. I know something's gonna happen. I got a feeling.
