Nevaeh's life isn't easy and sometimes is full of hardship. From her nearly fatal attraction to the thugs of Baton Rouge, hard big girl lessons, and most notably the infamous Vitiligo that engulfs her mocha skin-she deals with a lot being only 21.

Walking away from Caden laughing, he went over towards the buffet table and picked up a plate. Loving him some chicken, especially from the famous Rising Canes, he didn't hesitate to grab as many tenders as he wanted. Grabbing some honey mustard as a condiment, his senses alerted him to someone coming towards him. Looking up and seeing her finally making a move, his nerves elevated quickly.
"Hi" she greeted him softly with an innocent smile.
With his plate of food still on the table, he stopped to face her with a soft smile. "Hi"
"What's your name?"
"Uh...." Finding her so attractive with gorgeous brown eyes and long sweeping lashes, it made the poor guy even more nervous in the interaction. He lost track of his own name even. "Um...damn..." His eyes looked up at the ceiling.
"Did you really forget your name?" she asked, finding it quite amusing and somewhat cute. She could sense he was nervous.
He confessed. "I did actually....fuck-what is–Brandon. It's Brandon" he couldn't help but laugh at his absent mind for a second.
"Brandon?"
"Yeah. How about you?" He asked.
"It's Nevaeh. Like heaven spelled backward" she offered him her hand.
"Pretty" he accepted.
Shaking hands, they both felt chills from the other person's touch. Finding each other attractive in the same skin condition they shared, it was hard for them not to gush from nerves together at this point.
"What are you studying?" She asked, trying to break out of what could have been a semi-awkward moment.
"As in my major? I'm in engineering"
She found that very interesting. "Wow, that's pressure. May need you to build me a house one day"
Laughing at her joke, he followed up with the same question. "How about you?"
"Oh I don't go to LSU, my cousin does. I'm just here to support"
"Oh okay, that's....that's what's up. Um–" Suddenly, the two started getting distracted by Caden and Elias piping up their friend from behind. When she turned towards them, he quickly pulled her attention back. "Please ignore them"
"Those your friends?" She smiled.
"Unfortunately" he sighed, grabbing his plate from off the table now.
"Well, I won't hold you. Is it okay if I ask for ya numba? I'd love to get to know you more"
"Yeah..."
"You can just put yourself in my phone as a new contact" Nevaeh said, handing over her phone that was already on the Add New Contact screen.
Seeing him taking her phone and putting two and two together, his friends went wild in the background. Hearing them and turning their heads, Brandon died of embarrassment a second time as he typed in his name and number. "Please don't pay them fools any mind. They really blowing me" he laughed nervously.
"I think they're just happy for you. It's cute" Taking her phone back with information stored, she tucked it underneath her arm to offer her hand again. "Well, it was nice meeting you, Brandon. Um...I'll probably text you tonight if that's okay?"
"Nah yeah that's cool. I'll look forward to it" he shook her hand.
"Okay. I'll talk to you soon"
Walking away from their conversation, he watched her of course. Catching himself staring at her little booty through the brown form-fitting dress she wore, he turned his attention elsewhere not to feel thirsty. Unsurprisingly, Caden and Eli started making their way over and couldn't wait to congratulate their friend.
"I see you, son! I see you! Was that her?" Caden asked loudly, killing Brandon softly.
"Yeah and can you keep it down nigga damn"
"Yeah bae, stop embarrassing em. That's my job...because our little nigglet bout to get himself a new lil'yeah! A cute lil'yeah too, yeh!"
"Yeh!" Caden laughed, slapping Eli's hand.
"....mane...I'm going home"

After doing some limited hours at his job as an Aircraft Line Service Technician, Brandon finally arrived home. Tired and nursing his newest injury, he dropped his book bag at the door and carried himself towards his bedroom. Holding his hand that was throbbing and bruised from an accident, he took it easy and joined Duke in bed. Watching his four-legged friend get up just to lay on his leg properly, Brandon couldn't help but wear a smile. "Hey, buddy..."

"I see you kept the bed warm for me–"
Suddenly, he heard and felt the vibration of receiving a text message. Reaching for it with his non-injured hand, he pulled his phone from his pocket and smiled at the preview. Knowing it was her, he opened the new conversation to reply back as he sat up slowly.
