Local McDonalds

Amari says, " It's a McDonalds close to my house, I'll send you the address, is that okay? Maria replies," okay, I'll meet you there, I look forward to seeing you."

*Hangs up phone*

"Yess!!" Amari exclaims, "I can't wait 'til I tell mom."

(Amari arrives at the McDonalds at 8:25 pm)

*Walks in and sits down at an empty booth*

*Amari turns to the sound of the bell on the door*

"Is Amari here?" she says with a raised tone.

Amari stands and faces Maria, "Hi," he says in a shy manor, "I-I'm Amari."

"I'm sitting over in this booth here."

*They both walk over and sit down*

They sat in silence for a moment, almost as if they were checking each others profile.

"So...What's up!?" Maria says loudly trying to break the ice, "lemme hear you rap a lil' sumthin"

*Amari looks down, and begins rapping*

"Alright, alright you got a little talent." Maria said.

"Thanks," he replied, still holding his head down.

"What you actin' all shy for?" she said as she giggled a little.

"I'm so sorry, it's just you're a very beautiful girl." said Amari

*Maria laughs*

"Girl?" She questioned

"My bad, I mean beautiful woman." he said slyly with more bass in his voice.

*Maria bites her lip, as their eyes meet *

"Where you from?"

Maria grins,"I'm from the same place you from."

"And where's that?"

"The struggle"

Amari smiles and replied,"why don't we go to my place, I want to show you something."

"Ard" agrees Maria

*They both get up and leave and head for Amari's house*
