desi's pov

"dami they told you to rest, so sit your annoying ass DOWNN." i yelled at damiir. he mugged me and then plopped down on the couch.

"can you run out and get me some subway?" he asked me. "just doordash it." i sighed. "health care aint free outchea." damiir rolled his eyes. i threw on my crocs and walked out the house.

i checked my pockets for my keys and cash. i went to the one on malcolm x boulevard. it was the closest one but it be mad ghetto.

i finally made it there after like 20 minutes. i waited in line behind this teenage boy. i got on my phone and text dami to ask him what he want.

i looked up and the boy in front of me finally walked away to eat his food at a table. eating inside subway is crazy. "next." the worked yelled to me.

i walked up and told him what i wanted. i paid for the food and he handed me my food. the teenage boy looked up at me and started squinting at me.

"yo you desire?" he spoke up, with food in his mouth. dont ever disrespect me like that. just nasty. "uhh, no?" i said confused. "shit, i mean desi." he facepalmed himself.

"sure." i mumbled. why he randomly trying to interact with me. i aint never seen this boy in my life. "who are you..?" i said kind of awkwardly. "my bad, we went to middle school together." he answered.

i tried to think real hard of who he was. "amari miller-jones." he added. "OHHH. THE WEIRD KID." i accidentally said. he scrunched up his face at me. "damn." i whispered to myself. "nah it's cool. i aint into that shit anymore" he awkwardly smiled.

"i really got to go get this food to my brother but come on." i offered for him to walk with me. he threw away his food and grabbed his bag from the chair.

we started walking together and just chatting. "what you been up to?" he asked me. "shitt. whole lot." i shrugged. "what about your cousin?" he added. i raised my eyebrow because i was surprised he still remembered him.

"he's doing very good. he pursued his rapping career." i explained. amari widened his eyes in shock. "i'm sure you've heard of him." i added.

"he go to be one of them big time rappers" amari shrugged. "he iss!" i added. we were getting close to my apartment, at this point. i quickly ran inside to give damiir his food and came back out to amari.

"one of them drill rappers?" amari said im shock. i nodded and laughed. "i can get him if you want." i shrugged. he nodded, so i ran across the street to darrians mom's apartment and yelled his name.

"WHAT?" he yelled sticking his head out the window. "WHY YOU BRINGING FANS TO MY PLACE, BRO!?" he yelled at me. "THATS AMARI." i yelled back. amari was looking mad worried and he crossed his arms.

"WHO AMARI?" he yelled at me, sticking his head further out the window. i pointed to my side and he squinted his eyes, to get a better look. "ya. i do not know." he added.

"yo should i be offended." amari sighed. "nah." darrian laughed. "gimme a sec." darrian added. he put his head back inside and closed the window.

we sat on the stoop of darrian's apartment and was just talking. "what high school you go to?" he asked me. "harlem hill." i answered. "i go to midwood." he told me.

i nodded my head and then darrian came busting through the doors. "aye wassup." darrian dapped me up. he sat down beside me and was just staring at amari.

"you amari monroe?" he asked him. "no.." amari sighed. "amari jones?" darrian added. amari nodded his head slowly. "you still into that weird shit?" darrian asked him, scrunching up his face.

i nudged him in his arm, causing him to slap my back. "nah." amari answered him. it was getting mad awkward so i had to say something to strike conversation, "yeah, so this the lil rapper. tell him about it, darrian." i awkwardly laughed.

"you rap?" darrian asked amari. "yeah, dropped my first single two weeks ago." amari answered truthfully. "nah you cant do that, you gotta put out teasers, it'll make em want it dropped. then set the date back, draw more people in." darrian went on.

amari widened his eyes and nodded his head. "i only got like 563 streams right now." amari shrugged. "whats yo insta, i'ma hit you up." darrian said pulling out his phone.

he never this willing to help someone out. it take him a while to even trust someone. maybe cause he met this boy before, i dont know. "real.kno." amari said.

"aight got you." darrian nodded. "i got to go, but i like this kid. yo music fire." darrian raised his eyebrows. i listened to the music and nodded in agreement.

darrian got up and went back inside his apartment. "i remember in eight grade you was talking about this ethan kid?" amari asked me randomly. "oh, yeah." i nodded.

"yeah, he like my brother. i'm actually dating his brother, now. it's wild." i laughed. "is the kid a rapper too?" amari asked me. "yeah, he's a really good one." i smiled. amari nodded and rested his head on his arm.

"ya man rap?" he asked another question. he ask a whole lot of questions but i guess that's the point of getting to know people. "yeah. one of them big rappers, too." i raised my eyebrows.

"hold on, he facetiming me." i said as i acknowledged the fact that my phone was ringing. i clicked the green button and the facetime was connecting.

"wassup, my heart." dd smiled in the camera. "hi davi." i smiled back. "who you with?" he asked me. "kid i know from middle school." i answered. "ddot told me you was with some dude." dd said staring hard at the camera.

"yeah, him." i said moving the camera towards amari. dd scrunched up his face and had a look of disgust. "you ha man?" amari asked, noticing the camera in his face.

"yeah, whos you?" dd said with an attitude. "it's cool, she in good hands, lil bro." amari answered. i widened my eyes because that aint the right answer. "fuck you say lil nigga?" dd mugged him.

"i meant like i'm not finna be dirty with her right now." amari added. he aint even making it better. "OR EVER." amari gasped. dd started laughing and i heard him exhale some smoke.

"you too awkward nigga." dd pointed at the camera. amari made a face and handed me my phone back. "he cool dd." i pursed my lips together. "i just reunited with him today." i explained further.

he nodded and exhaled some more smoke. "it's cool, i trust you." dd smiled. "okay bebe, i love you." i waved at the camera. "mhm. i love you too." dd answered and hung up the phone.

"my bad amari." i facepalmed myself. "it's cool, my ex was mad overprotective." amari added. i nodded and got up from the stoop. "whats ya digits? we should hang out some time." i smiled. "yeah, for sure." amari said and he told me his phone number.

i inserted it in my phone and saved his contact. "alright, i'ma go." i added. "okay, nice seeing you again, desi." amari hugged me. i hugged him back and released. he walked off and i walked into me and dami's apartment.

"you cheating on dd?" dami dragged out. "dd is fully aware, and he was okay with it." i informed damiir. "man that nigga not okay." dami laughed. "what you mean?" i asked.

damiir got up from the couch and signaled for me to follow. i followed him into his room and he turned his playstation on. he joined dd and i then saw dd's character running around cussing people out, fighting people, and asking for guns.

i turned on damiir's mic and sat in the gaming chair. i ran up to dd in the game and slapped him, as dami's character. "YO WHAT THE FUCK DAMI." dd yelled out. "WHO YOU YELLING AT." i yelled back at him.

"desiiii." he dragged out. "ahh, this nigga happy to see his girlll." dottyg made fun of dd. "SHUT THE FUCK UP DOTTY G. YOU BITCH. YOU PUSSY. YOU PUSSY." dd yelled at dottyg and sucked his teeth.

"aight chill." dottyg said mad embarrassed. "i'm sorry dd." i laughed. "i aint even mad, i'm chilling." dd's character started running to a car. i started following it and got inside with him.

"yall hurry up." damiir rolled his eyes. i moved the chair to roll over his foot. "SHIT." dami started holding his foot snd jumping. i laughed and was just playing the game with dd.

"i really am sorry, i didnt know hanging out with him would make you upset." i explained to dd. "that nigga mad dayroom, you chose him over me." dd opened up. "you was busy david." i answered.

"okay and." he sucked his teeth again. i laughed and hopped out the moving car, in the game. "DESII." he gasped, and then his audio cut off. once he came back i could hear him again.

"i'ma take you to the hospital." dd picked up my character and got back in the car. "this aint gay to you." dami rudely disrupted my peace. i remembered that dd was picking up damiir's male character.

"anything for desiii." dd laughed. "exactly." i pushed dami away. "man fuck this." dami walked away and went back into the living room. after that me and dd stayed played on gta. that shit was so fun.
