"What do you want from McDonald's?" Renae asked Marshall while walking down the street.

The others were far ahead and jamming out to some songs on the boom box.

The cool breeze of Detroit was passing through making Renae shiver. Marshall took off his jacket and gave it to her.

"I'm not hungry." Marshall replied dryly.

Renae looked over at him and tilted her head, she was aware that he was lying to her.

"Why do you keep lying about that?" She asked somewhat annoyed.

"I'm not lying, I'm just not hungry."

"I'll pay, plus, it's your birthday."

"So what? Birthdays are just a day proving that you're one year older than you were." Marshall explained.

Renae rolled her eyes at him and stopped in her tracks. Marshall stopped as well and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

She reached into her bag and brought out a little box, handing it to her best friend.

"I got you a gift." The girl smiled.

Marshall looked at the box and then back into her eyes. He opened the box revealing a watch.

"Since you're constantly asking what time it is. Here's a watch so you don't have to ask anymore." She explained while giggling.

No emotions were on the boy's face. He gave the gift back, "I can't accept this, I didn't get you anything for your birthday." He replied.

"That's cause you couldn't afford it and that's fine." She explained pushing the box back to his chest.

He looked down in embarrassment, "Well thanks, I guess."

"You're welcome and don't return it just so you can pay me back." Renae said pointing at his chest already knowing that was his plan.

Marshall chuckled, "Well I still gotta pay you back somehow."

"Well in about 10 years when you become a successful rapper, you can."

Marshall looked at her, smiling at the fact she believed in his dream. He reached over and gave her a hug.

"You're the best RiRi."

"I know Marshmallow."
