"One thing nobody knows about you." Chris states biting into his burger and turning to look at Nova who popped at seasoned fry in her mouth.

Nova chewed the fry, thinking of something she hadn't told anybody about herself- Well there were a lot of things people didn't know about her, but she'll go simple for now.

"Let's see," Nova mumbles crossing her legs and eating yet another fry. "I've murdered someone before." Nova says looking over at Chris to observe his reaction.

"Bit- What?" Chris ask, his eyes widening in less than a second. Nova laughs at his face before continuing her story.

"Well, I was only like five or so." Nova shrugs eating another fry; acting as if her sentence was completely normal.

"Nigga....ion know whether you tryna be funny orrrr."

"I'm deadass," Nova laughs. "I had a pet hamster and I wanted to see if he could swim. Sooo I ran some bath water and put him in; next thing ya know the lil nigga started drowning, but my five year old mind thought he was trying to swim or sum'. And boom, he drowned and died. My dad told me I committed murder and I've always believed him....like I took the dudes life." Nova says sipping her Oreo milkshake from Cook Out.

Chris took in her story, trying to come up with words to say. What was wrong with this girl?

"Nigga you dumb." Chris says shaking his head while laughing. "So that's the one thing you've never told anyone?" Chris ask arching an eyebrow.

"Nah, that's just the only thing I felt like telling you." Nova shrugs. "Now you tell me something nobody knows about you." Nova says dipping a chicken finger in honey mustard.

Chris shrugs his shoulders, not possibly knowing what to tell her. His life was an open book- Well most of it.

"Ain't nothing I can tell you; I'm quite a boring person." Chris chuckles as Nova pulls a, "quit lying" face.

"Quit with the tomfoolery. You know a lot about me, but I barely know shit about you. Like your birthday, favorite food, where you grew up, siblings. Simple shit like that. I wanna know you just like you know me." Nova says giving Chris her attention instead of the delicious food in front of her.

Chris sighs, bringing his hand to his beard and rubbing the chin part of it.

"Well, I was born and raised in Virginia. My birthday is May fifth, ima only child; and my favorite food is fried chicken and strawberry cheesecake. " Chris states, only stating the answers to the examples she had gave him.

"Nigga," Nova mumbles eyeing him from across the table. "Don't just give me that stuff, I want a short life story." Nova says learning back into her chair while crossing her arms over her stomach.

"A life story? I'm really just a simple ass nigga." Chris says which only made Nova roll her eyes.

"What made you move here? Explain some of your tattoos, your childhood, what Virginia was like. Something other than basic facts." Nova says as Chris sighs. Talking about his life wasn't something he was very fond of. To Chris, what mattered is the presence, why should people care about the pasty.
