Quinton walks in my room and yawns, he lays on my bed and looks at me.

"Can I help you?" he flips me off, I flip him off as well making him laugh.

"Let's get high" he pulled my dab pen out of the drawer and takes a long hit. I sit next to him laying my head on my head board.

I took a couple long hits and hide it again. We sat there in silence staring at the wall.

"So how'd that date go?" I smile thinking about last night.

"It was amazing, he set the back of his car for a drive in theater" he smiles, I look down thinking about it.

My body began to relax and I felt great, no worries, no pain, anything.

"If a guy does that much for someone, they truly like you" I shrug and smile. "I feel like I keep going guy to guy" he shook his head and looks at me.

"No. You dated Chase, he broke your heart and he moved on. Joey I don't know what the fuck he's doing, I think Anthony might be good for you. He's actually making efforts for you" I stare at the wall thinking about Joey.

"He texted me too, asking why you blocked him on everything" we both laugh, I shrug and then look at him.

"He kept playing around, i'm not gonna have him do that to me over and over again. Then him run to the same girl" he nods understanding.

"I get it, go to Anthony though. He's respectful and actually cares from what it looks like" I thought about it for a minute and ask Quinton a question.

"You're friends with Joey still?" he shrugs then closes his eyes. "We talk sometimes" I look at him seeing he was half asleep making me laugh.

"What?" I scrunch my face up giving him a look from his sassy ass. "I don't need your sass" he pushes me off the bed making me laugh harder then I was before.

"What is going on? and why does it smell in here?" Quinton and I started laughing not knowing what to say.

"Quin farted" my mom shook her head and walks out laughing a bit. "Almost got busted" I whisper, Quinton fake gasped dramatically and rolls over.

"I go sleep" Quinton lays on my floor closing his eyes making me laugh.

It's been almost a week since Anthony and I's little date we had. I've realized how much I actually like being around Anthony and talking to him.
Quinton and I've talked a lot more about it and I honestly think Anthony might actually care and he's not playing around.
I can't help to think if he is or not playing me. I guess i'll just have to find out later on.

My phone buzzed spooking me a bit. I grab it smiling as Anthony's name popped up. I press it, my heart began to beat rapidly as I read what he put.

Anthony: you know, i wish i kissed you

kayla: i wouldn't stop you :)

Anthony: how about i take you on another date then today? we spend the whole day together

Kayla: im all in :)

Anthony: bring a swimsuit i found an indoor water park

I smile widely and text him for a bit.

"Why are you so smiley?" Lina asked, she places pancakes in front of me.
