* Chanelle's POV *
I laid across the bed & closed my eyes when I heard my name coming from outside. I walked over to the window & it was August standing outside w/ a rose in his hand.
Chanelle: What you doing here?
I said with a smirk on my face.
August: Come down here.
I turned around & looked at the door.
Chanelle: On my way.
I walked outside & stepped right in front of him.
Chanelle: Now you gonna tell me what you doing here?
August: For you ma.
He said handing me the rose. A smile quickly came across my face since I was never given a rose before by a guy of course.
Chanelle: Thank you.
August: Would've gave you more but a dozen cost too much.
Chanelle: This is fine.
I said referring to the rose.
August: Just wanted to know if you'd be my date for prom.
Chanelle: Thought Paris would've had plans for you, but yeah I'd love to be ya date.
August: Aight that's what I wanna hear.
He said embracing me for a hug. Before he let me go I gave him a kiss on the cheek... for giving me the rose.
Chanelle: Be safe.
August: You too ma.
He said letting go of my hand & walking down the sidewalk while I watched him away.
* August's POV *
I grabbed the little I did have & went over to Xavier's house. Mama had put me out when she found out I was selling a little dope to try & get us by. She didn't like that especially since my stepdaddy was addicted to drugs.
Xavier: You back bruh? I ordered some pizza.
August: Yeah.
Xavier: Got Chanelle to go to prom witcha?
August: Yeah bruh.
I said dapping him & grabbing a slice of pizza.
Xavier: I'm so ready for prom night bruh. You don't understand.
August: I bet.
We heard a knock at the door & Xavier opened it.
Xavier: Paris here!
I walked over to the door while she stood there looking like a bag of money.
August: What you want?
Paris: Just came to tell you about prom. We're wearing blushing pink.
She said smiling & staring down at her nails.
Paris: August you like my new Gucci bag?
August: Sure.
Paris: You didn't say anything.
August: Not in the mood & I didn't ask you to prom.
Paris: I know I just figured we could go together anyways.
August: Got a date now go find you one.
I spoke to her before I walked back into the house.
Xavier: You did that bitch.
He said laughing & eating a bite of his pizza.
August: Get tired of that clingy shit & she don't be talking bout nothing.
Xavier: I feel ya bruh.
