Amari has never had a problem keeping his distance. From people. From feelings. From anything that might get too close. But Nasir makes that impossible. He's in his space, in his house, in his head-slowly breaking down walls Amari spent years building. And no matter how much Amari pushes him away... Nasir doesn't seem like he's going anywhere.

Never expressing what he felt, yet he was so angry at everyone for not noticing. Angry at himself for not expressing anything. Angry about the circumstances he was forced into. Then he meets her. Aaliyah, the girl whose eyes sparkled with adoration when he came around. The girl whose actions were never malicious, radiating kindness everywhere she went. When he loses her, he stays quiet, packaging himself into a persona that's easier for people to digest. Until Isaac sees Aaliyah again. Until he has a chance to make things right. Until Isaac gets the person who never once made him feel small or misunderstood. The person whom he thinks he could be with for 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲.

All I wanted was to hoop, chill with my homegirls, and vibe out this summer. But then Taylor brought him around... and now everything feel different. He talk too much, flirt too boldly, and swear he got me figured out. But he don't know me like that. This summer? I'm keeping it lowkey. No drama. No slips. So whatever he think he on- Don't tell him nothin.
