I heard the door bang really loud and already knew who it was but I heard my brother swing open his door to get it. But soon after I heard my door swing open "so why you been ghosting me"

"I haven't been ghosting you"

"Well it seems like it I ain't seen you in three days cuz you're always with melo and you can't never answer my text back anymore because of him"

" Ernyssia you really needa calm down sometimes" I tell her

"I need to calm down you didn't even tell me y'all were dating I had to find out on the shade room how you think that makes me feel that my best friend can't tell me she gotta nigga" she lowkey yells

"I'm sorry Ernyssia"

"It's ight come on and get ready let's go somewhere"

"I have an interview today on the radio" I say

"Sometimes I forget you famous...I guess we can't get our timing right" she says disappointed

"Well we could see each other tomorrow"

"We have school tomorrow Chanel"

"I know"

"Of course you do" she says leaving my room

3 hours later

"Wassupp y'all today we are interviewing one of the most hottest rappers out right now chanel how you feeling"

"I'm feeling great I'm happy to be here and I'm glad y'all could have me"

The interview went on and on but finally they asked me the question I was so scared to answer

"So chanel I was just wondering and I think everyone has too but are you dating Lamelo Ball?"

"Why would you think that"

I say jokingly

"I mean I think it's pretty obvious" he says waiting on an answer

I make a weird smirk and laugh

"Ummm I mean since y'all wanna know so bad yeah I'm dating Lamelo"

The whole group gets extra "Oh really for how long"

"Like I say four months"

"now I know for a fact you a player"

"Well not anymore since I've known him"

"Ohhhh I'm happy to hear that so he's changed you for the better" he says messing with me

"See I know these question ain't on the list y'all tryna make sum outta nun" I say

They all laughed and soon as I thought it was over

" how long have you've known him"

"Ever since I moved out here really so like three years going on four"

"Aww how does hey-

"Ayoo how many questions you gon ask about us I'm still confidential don't forget that" I say laughing but being dead serious

"Okay last one cuz I asked Melo the same thing when I interviewed him, gelo, and lavar but what car do you drive since melo drives a Lamborghini"

"Well he drives a rolls Royce now but"

"Damnnnn" he whispers

"But I drive a hellcat the most of the time"

"At this point I'm gon retire"

The interview went on and on asked some more things about my life and music and what not. I was just wondering how the world would take it but at the end of the day it was the truth. The interview wrapped up and I texted melo

🤍

Okay

I knocked on the door just to see gelo

"So you came to see the rat in the back"

"Shut up gelo you so pressed" I laugh

I see melo sitting down by the pool with his feet in the water and a hoodie on but this time it actually covers his head but I ain't think to hard on it

"Hey baby whatchu doing" I say excitedly trying to hide the fact I'm hella nervous

"Nun well at least anymore" he says not showing emotion putting his phone down

"What's wrong melo why you acting like this"

"I'm not the same Melo no more"

"Melo stop playing with me" I say getting irritated

"Promise you ain't gon laugh"

"I promise bae"

He presses his lips together and pulls of his hood this nigga done cut his hair

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

I just stare at it in disbelief

"It's bad ain't it" he say's nervously

"Uhh on its not bad I'm just confused why you did it" I say shocked

"Well my dad basically forced me"

"Yeah but it doesn't seem like you like-

"They paid me 700"he says cutting me off

"Now that sounds like you"he laughs

"But yeah I like it now you look hella fine like you look grown now "

I say

"See I liked where you was going but you act like I wasn't always grow"he say joking

"Boyyy. Stop playin" I say dragging it

"Na you needa stop playin acting like I don't handle you like a grown man speaking of grown guess what Courtney gon say to me"

"What"

"I think you look really good ON CAMERA I was like get this cougar away from me Steve"

I burst out laughing but soon after Melo ask me if I decided to go to his game I sigh

"Yeah ima be really nervous tho and my brothe jay ain't going either cuz he doesn't think it's safe"

" I just don't understand why it's not safe to go like what did y'all do out there"

"We just did a lot of stuff-

"Nahh I don't wanna hear that what we're you really doing cuz if you was a normal kid you wouldn't be out here prolly"

"Well I wasn't a normal kid but basically to shorten the story my mom passed at like eleven-ish which I know you always wondered about my dad didn't wanna take care of me so basically I went into foster care just going to one house to another then once my oldest brother turned 26 he was like lemme take care of you but he never really knew me like that cuz we was half siblings my little brother jalen and Jason came with me. And know I'm like 13 or sum and basically turn into the worse kid ever like fighting, playin boys, even trapping with my oldest brother and didn't even have to just wanted to and I even went to juvenile -

"Wait hold on where's the good part this shit sound crazy " he says

"It was crazy but around that same time I started recording music and had one of my songs blow up on TikTok and then again and again more and more people was really noticing me we moved out to chino hills cuz it was close to La and we know La is great for business and yeah"

"Bruh that's real as fuck you never told me yo mom passed either"

"Yeah I don't really tell people just let em assume you know"

"Well at least I know now I just don't want you to go cuz you feel like you have to and get hurt or sum"

"Yeah cuz legit it seems like every person I did bad they go there and Dylan too"

"Yo ex we saw at the gas station"

"Yeah he keeps talking about how he gon show out in the game cuz of you"

"Oh for real"

"Yeah" I say nervously

"Ima show em why lamelo the best on the westcoast"he say's I knew when ever he talked like this he was gonna have a major win. The week went on melo was about to leave the school but the night before the game Melo texted

I got there and knocked on the door melo opened it quickly he gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead he brought me upstairs to his room he sat me in the bed and told me to put a bandanna on

"Bae you doing to much" I say

He starts to pull my shirt off not gon lie I was down for whatever tho

"Not you tryna have sex me- he puts his hands on my mouth

"Don't you know it's ten o'clock and everyone quiet you gon get me in trouble"

"Sorry bae" I whispered

He continues to take of my shirt so now I got on my bra on and jeans I can hear him go in the closet and moves some hangers and finally get what he was looking for he came over to me and lifted my arm up and pull some sleeves down them and put a shirt on me and pull me off his bed and pull me in the bathroom.

"You ready to take the shower the blindfold off"

"I mean if you scream my name then I think you belong to me"

"Shut up Melo" I say tryna break the hug cuz I was getting tired of looking up at him.

"Don't try an run away from me girl you know how I get "

He says pull the jersey in closer and leaning down to kiss me he reaches my lips and starts to kiss me melo slides his hand from my waist to ass and picks me up and sits me on his sink/counter

"I'm tryna take this shirt off girl"

"Melooo stoppp I needa go back home before they realize I left"

"You got lucky girl cuz I was finna"
