Comic-Con came and went. Savannah had some time to recuperate before she started her new summer job. She was working as a counselor for summer day camp at the local recreational center. Savannah was laying down in bed resting when there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" It was Lauryce. "Hey girl! How was it? How was Comic-Con?

Savannah sat up in bed. "It was fun as always. But I'm a little tired." Lauryce noticed a look on her friend's face. She's seen that look before. "Okay....spill it. Who is he?" "What are you talking about?" Lauryce scrunched her face. "How long have we've been friends? I know when you've met someone. So who is he?" Savannah sighed "His name is Charles. I met him at Comic-Con. We're into a lot of the same things." Lauryce looked at her with a smile. "Oh? Is he cute?" Savannah blushed "He's cute. He has these eyes like a young buck deer. He almost looks like that singer you like. What's his name, Thompson or something?" "His name is Iverson. And nobody looks that good." Savannah rolled her eyes and shook her head. Savannah never was big on the current music scene. She loved her 80s and Motown. "So when's the date?" "I don't know yet." Lauryce shook her head. "Well we have to get you on this date." "I know....but he hasn't asked me yet." "Okay....let me know when he does. We're definitely gonna have to go shopping." Savannah just chuckled. "You and shopping!" Lauryce snapped "Girl, this is the first date. You can't go looking like Bums R Us!" "I know." Lauryce's phone rang and it was her thirteen year old brother Lavell on the other end. "Hey Big Head! Mom said it's time to eat." "Tell her I'll be there in a minute pain!" Savannah laughed. "Oh My God! I can't stand that little brat! I so want my own place. As soon as I save up enough money, I'm so out of here!" Savannah shook her head. "He's just a harmless kid. I'd do anything to have a sibling. You know I'm the only child." Lauryce looked at Savannah. "Lucky you! You can have my brother since you want a sibling so bad." Lauryce and Savannah hugged. "I will talk to you later." Savannah walked Lauryce to the front door. "Okay girl."

Later that evening, Savannah's phone rang. It was Charles. "Hey you!" Wassup gurl! How was your day?" "It was good. You?" "My day was chill. Hey I was wondering are you busy tomorrow evening?" "No....why?" "Would you like to hang out at Belmont Park for a while?" "Yeah sure." "Okay....I'll pick you up at 7." "Okay." "Bye!" "Bye!" Savannah hung the phone up with jitters of excitement. She immediately picked up the phone and called Lauryce. "Hello!" "Lauryce, guess what? I got a date! Both of the young women screamed like banshees. "Girl, you know what this means....shopping!"
