Azalea walked around the campus looking lost, today was her first day of college and she was nervous. A group of boys walk past her but one caught her eye.

"Wassup ma you lost?" She looked up at the dude and smiled

"Is it that obvious?" I said nervously

"What's your name gorgeous?"

I blushed." Its Azalea but my friends and family call me Lea."

"Azalea I like that but my name is Eythan."

"You don't look like a Eythan, you look more like a King or something."

He chuckled." That's my nickname tho."

Azalea looked the time on my phone." I gotta go to class but it was nice meeting you." She starting walking away but he grabbed her waist pulling her close to him.

"You gotta numba?"

"Yup gimme your phone." Eythan reached In his pocket and handed it to Azalea, she quickly put her number in then walked away.

Finally Azalea found her class and entered even though she was five minutes late it was worth it.

Azalea sat in class trying to focus but the same person kept popping up in her head..... Eythan

As soon as class let out she hurriedly exit and looked around for Eythan. He was leaning against a building talking to a girl, he seemed to be into the conversation so she kept walking.

"Azalea!" She ignored him and kept walking.

"Azalea!" She stopped dead in her track and turned around waiting for Eythan and his twin to catch up.

"Wassup?" She asked

"Where you going?" Eythan asked while staring down at her.

"Home."

"Wanna go somewhere and chill?"

She laughed." To chill or to fuck?"

"Just to chill."

Azalea finally agreed to go with Eythan." So tell me about yourself." She said making small talk.

"A nigga twenty, I'm from Baton Rouge Louisiana and I play center for the lakers."

"I thought you look familiar." Azalea said as they pulled up to a two story house. Eythan got out and opened Azalea door.

"Thank you." She watched as he unlock the door.

"You drink?" He asked while holding up a bottle of Hennessy.

Azalea wasn't a drinker but she needed to loosen up a bit." Yeah." She held the cup as Eythan pour them the liquor.

"Bottoms up."

"Shit." She hissed once she felt the burning sensation

"Where you from beautiful?"

"I'm originally from South Carolina."

"Age?"

"Eighteen, I'll be nineteen in six months." She spoke before walking into his living room where basketball jerseys decorated the wall.

"Big basketball fan I see."

"Something like that."

"Why do you like basketball so much?" She asked

"I'm good at it and it got me out the hood."

"I know what you mean." Azalea said while sitting down beside Eythan.

"What you know about the hood?" He asked playfully

"Don't let this Chanel fool you I'm straight from the hood, my parents wasn't always rich I had to eat Ramen noodles everyday too."

"Shrimp was my favorite flavor." Eythan rolled a blunt full of Kush a d chuckled

"Mines too with some hot sauce and soy sauce.... shit be bussing."

"How long you been playing basketball?"

"Since I could walk my moms bought me and my twin a little basketball shit and we balled everyday." Azalea saw a twinkle in his eyes that she never seen in anybody eyes.

"I can see you really love Basketball."

"Yeah what do you like to do gorgeous?"

Azalea smiled." I like helping people in their time of need, honestly I wanna be a therapist or marriage counselor."

Eythan bit his lips and smiled down at Azalea he could tell she was a down chick someone he always wanted.

"You ever thought about being a ballers wife?"

Azalea looked up at him and smiled." Nah but it sounds fun."
