Arnell had been living with Jada no with no problem. She was going back out of town, but this time, she was leaving her car with Jada. Arnell was pretty excited about that.

It was Saturday and they had the day planned. Arnell and Jada decided to go to the movies.

"That movie was so lame girl." Jada scoffed while throwing away her cup. They left the theater and made their way to the car.

"Let's go to the basketball court." Jada suggested buckling her seat belt.

Arnell furrowed her eyebrows. "For what?"

"I wanna see my baby." She sang.

"Who?"

"I'm not finna play with you." Jada said with a little attitude.

"You just got so man girl, I need to know which one." Arnell joked.

"Dorian." Jada rolled her eyes.

When they arrived, Dorian was talking to a girl and you could see Jada become pissed. Arnell didn't understand why. They weren't even dating, barely even talking. Arnell kept walking to get a seat on the bleachers. She watched as Jada confronted the poor girl. She probably was clueless.

"D, who this is hoe?!"

"Bye, Jada." Dorian dismissed her.

Arnell shook her head. She didn't understand why Jada was getting so caught up behind him.

"Hey." Arnell heard a familiar voice say.

She turned around and it was Shaydon. Arnell rolled her eyes and got up to leave. She hadn't even talked to him since Amani's little break down.

"Don't be like that." He begged while holding her wrist.

Arnell snatched her arm away from him. Arnell already knew there was nothing he could say to change what happened.

"I just want to talk. Will you please listen?"

Arnell sat back down.

"I'm sorry, aight?"

"You already said that, remember?" She said amused.

"I've known you since third grade, you really want to throw that away?" He questioned.

Arnell couldn't help but laugh out loud at his comment. It's like he was trying to make it seem like it was her fault that they fell off but in reality, it was all him.

"I don't have time for you, Shaydon. I gotta go."

"You mean to tell me that you don't feel the same way?" Shaydon asked.

"What way? What are you talking about??" Arnell asked.

"Don't play." He said seriously. "You know that I got a thing for you. I always have."

Arnell furrowed her eyebrows. She was wondering where all of this was coming from. She always thought he may have a little crush on her, but nothing that serious.
