Yb and I made it to Walmart and while I shopped around, he trailed behind me. As we walked around grabbing stuff, we exchanged a few words but never actually held a conversation and I can't lie, it felt really weird being just the two of us especially since I don't know him at all.

"$20 dollars for this ugly ass shirt?" I frowned as I threw the shirt back on the rack and walked off. Yb chuckled and shook his head

"Don't act like you'on like that shirt"

I walked over to another rack and looked at the clothes on it

"Trust me I don't"

As I continued to search through the racks, Yb pulled a random hanger and held it up

"Try this"

"You can't just pick up random clothes. It takes time" I told him, but quickly shut up when I saw it was a nice flowing sundress. With its spaghetti straps and the red and white pattern, the dress was stunning. I quickly grabbed it from him, admiring it before checking the price tag. It was only 10 dollars

"Where'd you find this?" I asked Yb and he shrugged

"Shit I just saw some red and pulled it"

"You saw red huh? You a blood or somethin" I joked as I put the dress in the basket along with the rest of the stuff and he nodded

"Big Bs over hea lil baby"

I quickly side eyed him, thinking that maybe he was just playing

"You know that ain't nothin to play with. Especially now that it's the 90's" I laughed as I started walking again, heading towards the snacks isle

"Who said I was playin?"

I stopped walking and looked at him, realizing he wasn't playing

"Oh you serious"

"Like you said, that ain nothin to play with" Yb replied as he grabbed some Oreos and put them in my basket then looked at me "is that a problem?"

"No" I shook my head, grabbing some more snacks"it's just, you don't seem like the type to be apart of a gang"

"That's cause you'on even know me"

"True" I nodded, looking to make sure I didn't want anything else "I'm still tryina figure out how I manage to let Sophie drag me in the car with strangers"

"Lil Mexico just don't give a fuck"

"She never did, I told her one day this attitudes gonna get her kidnapped or worse"

"Trust me, they gone bring her ass back" Yb mumbled and I laughed as we started walking again, heading to the register. As we walked, I looked over at him. This was my first time actually looking at him and honestly, he wasn't ugly at all

"So where are y'all from?"

"College Park" he answered

"Forreal? That's where we're from"

"Oh word" Yb smirked before licking his lips "Why I ain ever see you around?"

"I'm not the type to go out. The only time I would actually go somewhere was if Sophie or Darren would make me go" I told him, laughing a little and he raised his eyebrow

"Darren?"

"Yeah. That was my boyfriend"

"Oh" he responded dryly, scratching the back of his neck "you said was, y'all broke up or some?"
