2 months later ( Thanks giving )
Adrian POV
I haven't spoke or even texted Destiny since I dropped her home from the Senior party, I wasn't tripping but it did feel weird for her to not be blowing my phone up like these other females do.
Grandma- "Baby go and pick me up some sweet potatoes for the pie I'm fixing to make".
Adrian- "ok, I'm leaving now" I said while grabbing my keys out my pocket and walking out the door.
Adrian- I got into the car starting my engine and then looked over to seeing Destiny and her mom taking in groceries into their home.
Mrs. Gold- "Happy Thanksgiving Adrian"
Adrian- "Happy Thanksgiving" I waved
Destiny POV
I seen Adrian in the car, Saying happy thanksgiving, but I just looked away and carried the bags into the house.
Destiny- "mom do you want me to put up the groceries and then make the macaroni?"
Mrs Gold- "yes sweetie, but make sure you wash your hands".
Destiny- I washed my hands and took out the pot for the macaroni and then seen a message from Lamar my guy Bestfriend I've been talking to at River High.
Message from Lamar💚

Lamar- "Hey big head" he grinned
Destiny- "Boy stop calling me that" I laughed
Lamar- "so where your moms at"
Destiny- "in the kitchen, oh shoot I got to check on the macaroni" I ran in the house with Lamar running behind me.
Adrian POV
I came out the grocery store with the sweet potatoes and other items my grandma called me to get, I sent Caleb a text asking if he coming over my house for thanksgiving dinner.
Caleb- "homie who car is that" he said standing by the front porch
Adrian- I heard Caleb ask me as I pulled up into the driveway.
Adrian- "I don't know" I said while shutting my car door.
Grandma- "Thank you baby for the groceries" she smiled while I walked in.
Adrian- "No problem" I said putting the bags on the counter.
Grandma- "go over to the neighbors across the street and see if you can spend some time with them because I don't want you and Caleb in my house all day playing the game" she said waving her hand up.
Adrian- "alright" I said giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Adrian- "Are you family with Destiny?" He asked confused.
Lamar- "oh no I'm just here with her on thanksgiving" he said while walking towards the kitchen.
Adrian- "Hey ma" I said to Destiny while she was stirring the macaroni in the pot.
Destiny- "Happy thanksgiving" I said turning away from the stove looking him right in his eyes and glancing at that smirk on his face.
