*Chance's POV*
I laughed to myself careful not to make my people pay me attention. I finally saw her again, the unknown talent that could change the face of Atlanta music. I don't even think she realized how close I was, then again ole boy nearly knocked her over. I wanted to punch him in the throat but that's bad publicity and I'm not trying to ruin the career I just started. I got close enough to peep her IG name and I followed her. Now to wait a little and make my move when it's just right. Can't scare her off by looking thirsty.
"Hey Chano, come peep this."
"Yeah wassup?"
"We just got a pre-order on the new shirt. Some chick here in Atlanta."
"Oh cool, glad to have support from the fans."
"But, this one, she always is first to order and buy merchandise, ever since the site opened."
"What's her name?"
"Dymond Cannon."
I had to hold back my smile and nod quietly. I knew that me following her was a great first move to make. I pulled out my phone and sent her a message on Kik, anxiously waiting for a reply.
*Dymond's POV*
My phone buzzed as I took a sip of my juice. I unlocked it and squeaked a little beside myself. This couldn't be real, how did Chance The Rapper not only follow me but also Kik me in the same day? I stared at the message icon with my heart pounding.
-The Talk-
C: Hey there! I'm Chance, what's up?
Me: Hi! I'm a HUGE fan! Well I'm not huge in size, I just love your music so much. You're really talented!
C: Haha, thanks beautiful. You're really talented too.
