It was a rainy Sunday night. The lightning striked, the thunder roared. Ayana brushed her teeth at the sink. She rinsed her mouth out and wiped her face off.

All day she had helped her grandmother deep clean the house, top to bottom. It was late now and they were finally done. Ayana sat on her bed and braid all her hair for the next day. When she finished, she took her phone off the charger and unlocked it.

Ayana's POV
I saw there a text notification. I opened it eagerly. It was from Devonte! A smile spread across my face.

It read:

Devonte 5:27pm
Hey Beautiful, tomorrow, after school, I'll pick you up at 6 for our date. Still can't tell you where we goin, its still a suprise lol. ❤

I jumped up and down on my bed. I was going a date! No man has ever done anything like this for me. I replied to him.

Me 11:39pm
I can't wait!

I said. He replied.

Devonte 11:40pm
You'll love it. Goodnight cutie.

Those last words sent a tingle through my body. He's so sweet.

Me 11:41pm                           Goodnight. 

At this point, I knew I had to tell Avo about Devonte. It was only best that she knew. So I got up and went downstairs. The air smelled like tobacco.

She was sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette, watching Family Fued, laughing, even though she couldn't understand half of what they were saying. I forgot to mention she has a terrible smoking addiction. I've tried to help her quit, but nothing has ever worked. 

"Avo." I said, sitting down on the couch.

"Heh?" she asked, before taking another puff of smoke. She coughed.

"So there's this guy.." I began. "His name is Devonte, I met him at school... and he .. uhm asked me on a.. on a da-- "

"Just don't get pregnant until you 21." she said in English

"I won't." I replied quickly.

"Good." she said.

"Oo!" she exclaimed, dropping the remote and her cigarette. She jumped up and darted to the bathroom. "merda, eu tenho que fazer xixi! (Shit, I gotta pee!)" 

I laughed hysterically. She's something else. I walked back upstairs coughing from the smoke in the hallway. When I got to my room, I went to the closet to pick out an outfit for the date. After searching for a few minutes, I found my floral pink dress. Once I laid it out on my bed, I decided it was what I was going to wear for the date. Since it was a suprise, I decided to go with something that wasn't too dressy and not too casual. I folded it up and put it in my bookbag for the next day
