Star P.o.v - 

Before we went over to his house we stopped at walmart, the only store open around this time of night. I stayed in the car. He brought me some things such as pjs, undergarment, sweat pants, cartoon T shirts, socks and junk food. We made it home to his house his mom was sleep we made our way upstairs to his room. Empty soda cans lined up on the computer desk, seeming to form a pyramid that had been knocked down and left scattered. Two weeks of clothes sprawled out on the floor, socks hanging on the chair, with a single lonely shoe kicked off on the floor. An unmade bed with papers thrown about on top of it, a folded pillow half pressed against the wall. And a paper bag form made out of fast food packages in the corner, next to the overflowing trash bin that no one has taken out in two weeks.

"You a kid a heart" I say admiring the beautiful volcano on his desk that seems almost finished 

He laughed "Yee.. its for this science fair at the school, This is why my room looks like this ain't been so focus on anything else but you and this damn science fair, free college if I win , I wanna go to school to do engineering to get the fuck out of here .. " he says cleaning up 

I laughed " thats wassup , I ain't know you was into all of that,  I want to be a nurse" I say 

"basic" He chuckled 

"Hushhh what college you wanna go to ? " I ask

"Ion know, somewhere far from here" he says He went into his dresser and pulled out my notebook and phone. "You welcome" he says 

"Thanks, you liked what you read?" I ask

"who said i read it?" he asked I rolled my eyes this nigga know he read every line every word .. "Yeahh.. I even wrote a lil sum but don't read it yet. When I'm not around" he finishes  

I rolled my eyes "fine Only because I'm taking over your bed and you got the couch" I say

I wanna know what he wrote .... so bad. 

He gave me a smirk "Bet" he says

He went in and out taking out all the trash. I took a shower by the time I got out the room was spotless. I laid down in the bed in the warm newly washed sheets watching him work on his project. Who would have know Quan was into nerdy stuff like this. Its cute. I fell asleep a little after.

The next morning. 

It was Friday, quan was still sleep I'm assuming he's not going to school today because school started over 3 hours ago. i woke up with no bad dream. I watched him sleep on the couch he has in his room. I grab my note book and began to read his poem. 

your smile make a nigga start blushing 

make a nigga heart start jumping 

your walk got a nigga loosin focus

can't lie shorty make a nigga nervous 

bc my heart tellin me your worth it 

i wanna know more of you

and I'm not talking about your body 

I wanna touch your soul

i hope you know that your beauty is known 

like the sky 

your favorite color 

that you look at with your pretty brown eyes

. . . 

A smile grew on my face.. a very big one. maybe too big. (to be continued) was written on the bottom. A Pretty lady walked into the room. At first she raised her eyebrow then she looked around seeing that he was on the couch. she then looked at me, looking at my scars on my face. 

"Quan told me about you .. your welcome to stay here as long as you'd like" she says

"Thank you-"

"And if you ever need anything let me know.. I'll be at work" she says 

she left her number the desk beside me, she left the house leaving us two. I slowly get up , I make my way over to him patting his face.

"Get up , I'm hungry" I say 

He groans "what you want to eat girl" he says with his morning raspy voice 

"Why you not a school quan?" I ask 

"cuz school ain't shit with out you there" he says getting up rubbing his eyes 

I followed him into the bathroom we brushed our teeth together we then went down stairs and made pancakes.  "Your mom is pretty & nice" I say stuffing my face

"when she wanna, she usually kick every girl out but I told her about you before hand" he says

"Had the whole west wood in here" I say jokingly

"I had a couple" he says

I rolled my eyes   "Why so ?" I ask 

"They were easy" He says 

"What am I ?" I ask knowing the answer 

"A rare breed" he says 

I chuckled "Thats cute"
