The Guy That Always Smiled

At Deria's House (Carly)

Deria: Girrrlllll, why did you ask for Amarion's number?

Carly: Because I mean he's just so cute to me... and—

Deria: Girl Amarion? Amarion... let's be forreal now.

Carly: I am being forreal. I don't say anything because the moment is always awkward. He's like my dream guy. Look at him... he's a fine ass darkskin, he's got good teeth, and he has goals and ambitions... just like me.

Deria: Yea, I feel ya, I've got to admit... he is cute. Just not my type though.

Carly: I asked him for his number because I also see right through him.

Deria: What you mean girl? You not Jesus, and you sure don't have any "superpowers" how you see shit?

Carly: Noooo girlll! I mean like... even though he's attractive and has a very rewarding smile... it's a message behind him... like he has a story to tell... I'm going to get to the bottom of it I swear. I just wanna know.

Deria: Ok Ms. Ilyana Vanzant😂

Amarion:  I'm just doing Mr. Kole's Homework.

Carly: You take him too!?!? I take him 2nd period... What about you?

Amarion: I take him 6th period. 

Carly: Oh, DWU. Yall got the same homework we got? Page 167, the Quadratic Graphs?

Amarion: Yeah.

Carly: Can you teach me how to do it? I don't get it

Amarion: You have to use facto--

Amarion was cut off by Carly's text message

Carly: Just facetime me. I'm a visual learner.

*phone rings, Carly answers*

Carly: Heyyyyyy Amarionnnnnn 

Amarion: What's up Carly 

Carly: So what do I do?

Amarion: You have to use the greatest common factor of all the numbers, factor it, and then set it up as a graph on the y-axis, and everything else will fall into place... See, like this. 

He demonstrated.

So like that. 

Carly: Omg Thank you Amarion, I get it... so what you finna do?

Amarion: I'm prolly just finna chill, get on the PS4 and play some 2k.

Carly: Ohhhhh That's Wha---

Carly is interrupted. Amarion's dad comes in the room. 

"I'm finna go get some new tires Amarion. I'll be back", said Mr. Benson. 

Aye dad, tires cost around $400 dollars...  Amarion said.

Yeah, you right, said Mr. Benson smartly. 

"So why is it that you can go spend $400 dollars on tires, but can't buy me no $80-100 dollar shoes?" Amarion said angrily.

Mr Benson looked furious... and said "Don't worry about that, I've got it under control... I'm finna head out, ok"

Ight...

Resuming Back Into The Facetime Conversation:

Amarion: I swear to god that mane always bullshitting... every since him and ma got a divorce, he do more for his "sidechicks" than he does me. That mane always buying his chicks food, and $200 dollar bracelets, but I got to come to school with the same clothes every week... shit is not wassup

Carly: It's ok Amarion. Calm down... You'll just have to get a job or something....

Amarion: I guess you're right... but I'm going to call you back... I got some shit to handle. I'll call you later.

Carly: Ok, bye Amarionnnnn :)

*phone hangs up*

Carly thinks to herself.... he constantly smiles, but his dad just got on to him, and came for him out the blue... and it is kind of sad how his dad can go spend sooo much money on himself, his car, and his sidechicks? I've never heard of money being spent on the sidechicks... His daddy is crazy. I can tell he goes through a lot... If only he was to make me his girllll... I promise I would know why the dude always smiles.... even in the midst of pain.
