Never Good Enough

Old Friends?

Javier's P.O.V

I sit here inhaling my blunt as I begin to think about that Tahliah girl Warren showed me today. I never even knew she existed. I haven't seen or heard about her until today. Damn, she's so fine.

"Ayo Javier, you still thinking bout her?" Warren asks

"Yea bro, why haven't you shown me her from before?" I ask

"Because, we old friends. I've known her since birth niggah, she is literally my best friend. But something happened.. and when we moved up here, we stopped talking" he says looking down.

"Damn...." was all I could have said.

"Damn what?" Ty says coming into the room.

"This Tahliah girl. She this girl who go to our school, I never knew she existed till today but damn, girl fine as hell" I say

"Really, how come I never seen her before?" Ty asks.

"Cause she's very quiet and stays to herself, you wouldn't know she's there. You kinda got to talk to her first" Warren says.

"So how do you know her?" Ty says asking Warren.

"I've known her since I was little, that used to be my best friend. She was my first kiss" he says beginning to chuckle.

"Aweeee" Ty and I say together.

"She make you look soft, she has that spot in your heart don't she?" I ask.

"Yea, but I mean.. I keep it low key. You both know I ain't soft when it comes to nobody" he says

"Y'all better show me who she is tomorrow" Ty says

"Yea, I will" Warren says.

I sit back and think a little longer, how come I never seen this girl nowhere? I decide to take out my phone, I wish I got her number.

Tahliah's P.O.V

I sit in my room starting to think about the guy in the car. I can't even remember his name. What was it again...?

Ja-

Jacob?

Jee-

Jessie?

Nah, i know it starts with Ja... Imma just call him J for now. It feels weird to have someone call me beautiful, or even look at me the way him and Warren did. Im used to staying in my own space, minding my own business and just do me alone.

Im not scared of a new beginning, just not sure if I want to start back up memories or friendships with ppl.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I hear my phone buzz on the bed.

It read... Text from Ren: Wsp ma

I feel a sense of shock pass over my body, surprised that he actually took the time to message me.

Me: Is this Warren?

Within seconds he responds.

Ren: Yea, wsp?

Me: Ntm, just actually surprised that you texted me. Why do u suddenly want to be friends again?

Ren: Cause I just want to. I miss our friendship. I miss your big head, and the fun times.

I smile at the message and we continue talking for hours as if it were the old times. Things we missed in each others lives, what happened after my.... incident. Everything. It almost felt.... comfortable. To know that someone was there for me again. That someone wanted to talk to me.
