I'm putting my new clothes up. Yesterday, when I left Jamarcus' house, Sumaya wanted to go shopping. We went and I got a whole bunch of new clothes. I bought an outfit for Jamarcus too. I had just put up the last shirt in my closet when my phone started ringing. It was Jamarcus.
"Hello?" I say through the phone.
"Hey ugly, what you doing today?" He asks me.
"Nothing really." I tell him truthfully.
"Okay, well, I'll be at your house at 6, so be ready." Jamarcus tells me.
"Why?"
"You'll see. Dress casual." And with that, he hung up.
Okay then. I guess I'm going out tonight. I turn and walk out of my room. I go to my mom's room and knock on the door.
"Come in." She says and I walk in.
"Hey mama." I don't know where to start.
"Oh lawd. What did you do this time?" She asks, sounding distressed.
"Nothing ma. I just wanted to tell you I'm going out tonight." This is the part where she says no and I want to take her eyes out.
"With who?" She probably isn't excpecting me to say what I'm about to say.
"Jamarcus." I nervously let out.
"Oh. Why didn't you say that in the first place? Have a good time!" She waves to me, meaning she's ready for me to leave her room.
I'm so glad she said yes. I really look foward to tonight. It's only around 2:30 so I'm just going to chill until it's time to get ready.
I go downstairs to the kitchen to look for something to munch. I go the pantry and see a box of Honey Buns™ and a box of zebra cakes. Both of them are life, so which one do I pick?
After staring at the two boxes for a minute, I decide to grab a zebra cake out of the box. I close the pantry then sit my zebra cake on the counter. I get a big cup out of the cabinet and put milk in it. I grab my zebra cake and go to the living room.
I plop down on the couch and turn on the tv to Orange Is The New Black. Focusing all my attention on the tv, I open my zebra cake and take a bite. So good, man.
I finish up my zebra cake and drink my milk then lay back on the couch. My phones starts ringing. It's Sumaya.
"Hello." I say.
"Hey boo!" Sumaya's voice blares through the phone.
"Wassup?" I ask her.
"Nothing really. I was wondering if I could drop by." She tells me. It was only 3 so I guess she could come over for a little bit.
"Yea, that's cool." I tell her.
"Igh, see you in 5." She hangs up the phone.
I sit my phone on the couch and wait for Sumaya to come. In 5 minutes, like she said, she's here. I get up to let her in. She follows me to the living room and we sit on the couch.
"This is what you been doing all day?" Sumaya asks me.
"No. I was putting my clothes up." I answer her question.
