Young Amara and her friend, Khalil ran around her mother's yard. She had just turned 8 and she acted like she was grown grown.
"Khalil! Slow down. You running too fast!" She yelled.
"No! You running too slow!" He yelled back.
She decided to stop and catch her breath. Khalil noticed she wasn't running anymore and stopped too. He jogged back to her.
"Why you stop?"
"I'm tired. Let's go back inside, Iwant some water and cake." She said and dragged him with her, not waiting for his answer. Today was her birthday and she was just bossing everyone around.
Khalil wouldn't usually let this happen but it was her birthday, so he let it slide.
"You always dragging me." He mumbled.
"What was that?" She asked, both eyebrows raised.
"Nothing damn."
"Ooohh imma tell yo mama you just cussed." Amara taunted.
"If you tell, imma tell youthat one time you stole candy from the store." He threatened.
She stopped and turned around and glared at him.
"I don't like you."
"You love me. I'm your bestfriend, forever." He smirked.
"Shut up."
"So I'm not your bestfriend? Alright I see how it is." He said and removed his hand from hers and walked away.
Amara rolled her eyes and sighed, already knowing what to do. He did this everytime.
"Khalil come back or you're not getting any cake." She said.
"Ion care bout cake." He replied.
They both acted way too mature for their ages.
"Fine. You're my bestfriend, no one else." She finally said.
Khalil smirked, knowing he won. He turned back around and walked towards her.
"Wipe that stupid smirk off your face."
"Shut up."
"Don't tell me to shut up. I'll beat you up."
"Stop playing with me Imani. Remember that one time that you said you'll beat me? What happened then? You still got that scar."
"Shut up Khalil."
"Mhmm that's what I thought."
She rolled her eyes and headed inside, Khalil walking behind her. They both wentto the table where the cake was and both took a piece before heading back outside.
They sat under the big tree in her yard and just talked about random stuff.
"Nooo yellow is better than red." She fussed.
"No! Yellow is too bright."
"No you're wrong."
"Alright whatever."
"Have you had your first kiss yet?" He asked her.
"No, have you?"
"No." He replied.
It got quiet for a while after that before Khalil spoke up.
"You want to?"
"Huh?"
"Do you want to.. you know? Have you first kiss."
"How do people even kiss?" She asked.
"Ion know," He srugged, "let's try."
"Okay, close your eyes." He said and they both did.
They began leaning in and before they knew it, their foreheads collided with each other.
"Oww!" They exclaimed before laughing.
"Okay, okay let's do it slowly this time."
They both agreed and tried again, this time doing it right.
"You liked it?" Khalil asked Amara.
"Yeah." She mumbled.
"Wanna do it again?"
"Mhmm." She replied and they kissed again.
