Part 1

"Are you glade to be back" my mom asked I looked around our new home in my home town. When I was 10 my mother up and moved us to New York to be with her boyfriend and now since the officially ended things we are back in Florida. Are new house was nothing like it was in New York, it's much smaller

" I guess" I said in a few weeks I will be starting high school that leaves me such little time to get my room back in order. A door closed out side catching my attention

"Ahh" my mother screamed happily going outside I followed her only to see her best friend Kenzie they hugged each other another car pulled up. My mom and Monica has been best friends since they were and college. I love there bond Monica always made my mother smile which I haven't seen an awhile

" this house this sooo beautiful" Kenzie said her son ka'mazi had got out of the passenger seat of the other car and it was like all the air was sucked away from me he looked completely different from the boy i was friends with he was much skinner back then and wore glasses his hair stayed tangled up. This boy infront of my house had braids going to the back he looked like he could pick me up with no issue and throw me and he no longer had on glass. If it wasn't for the birthmark on his face i wouldn't have none it was him

" dang sir who house this is" some guy said getting out of the driver seat

" ahhh kaiii" my mother said catching his attention

" hey auntie Monica " he said hugging her

" you've gotten so big" she said

" kyomi look at youu" Kenzie said hugging me I instantly got shy

" h-hi auntie Kenzie " i said

" you look so freaking beautiful I can't wait to here all about New York" she said I blushed my mom sir and his friends walked up the stairs I went back inna house hearing a couple who is she I grabbed the first box with my name on it going up stairs sitting it in my room

" kyyy" my mother called i sighed before making my way back downstairs once I was in view everybody looked at me i looked at the floor covering my arms " you remember kai'mazi yall use to be best friends" she said

" we weren't gone that long" I mumbled before looking up and at him " hi" i said he looked me up and down before giving me a small nod then turning back to my mother

" is the truck here yet" he asked

" it should be pulling up inna minute " she said I grabbed another box looking at what it said before taking it to the kitchen

Did he not remember me

And since when did he hang around Branden and them

" I see she still likes to paint do she still write too" I heard auntie Kenzie said my eyes widen

" she dosent like people looking at her art anymore" my mother said I heard a couple giggles and whispers I went to the other room taking the painting

" really mom" I mumbled

" heyyy it was out and it caught my eye" she said " it's very beautiful" she said I eyed her before putting the black wrap back over it taking it upstairs with the rest I heard other footsteps i began opening some of my boxes putting the thing that I could up
