As I stared at Peter who was walking toward his classroom, I tried to remember which class was mine. But the very next second, my problem was solved because I heard someone yell out my name from the back.

"JAREDDDD"

As I looked back I saw an African-American teen almost the same age as me walk toward me waving his hand. Just by looking at him, I could tell that he was a basketball player. He was obviously taller than me and wore a sleeveless jersey with the school name and the number 23 imprinted on it.

At first, I thought that this guy was Ryan but then as he came closer to me, he passed me the ball which I instinctively caught as he said "Yo, where's Ryan at ?"

I shrugged my shoulders as I said "I don't know...I'll try calling him." As I pulled out my phone from my jeans pocket. While I was navigating to the last calls to find his number, I heard Jared say "No need to call...there he is. The entire family together as always."

I looked up and saw a van stop in front of me. Just as the door opened, two small kids a boy and a girl quickly scurried out laughing while two adults in the front seat shouted "Stop saying that word...or else you will be grounded." The kids didn't even listen and just continued to go inside the school.

After that a teen the same age as me got out of the van as well. He was wearing an olive green t-shirt, a light blue torn jeans, and had a skateboard in his hand. His brown hair were a match to the man sitting in the driving seat. Memories started appearing about him and that his name was Derek.

"Hey Jared, Derek, it's good to see the two of you." The man said with a smile and the woman sitting beside her waved her hand toward me trying to get my attention and said "Jared Jared...I hope you didn't forget that it's the twins' birthday party tonight and May is going to help me with the cake. She said she has a special recipe and she will send you the list of ingredients. Make sure you guys go Target and get everything before coming home."

Before even waiting for me to reply she looked at Derek and said "And you...you better keep that basketball somewhere else before you enter my home young man. The last thing I need is all the decorations being destroyed by the ball like last year."

"You got it, Mrs Smith. I had to clean the mess last year. I wouldn't have brought the ball this year even if you told me to." Derek chuckled.

"Babe...why don't we get the ingredients...we are going to the mall anyways?" The man in the front seat asked in a hesitant manner to which the woman just replied "You mess up the normal groceries honey and you expect me to trust you with something so important? I am sure Maya will be with these kids so I can be carefree that they will manage everything. You just focus on coming home from work before time."

"I am a detective babe... it's not like the criminals are going to stop for my children's birthday." Mr Smith chuckled which made Mrs Smith give him the side eye.

"Mom, Dad if you guys are done embarrassing me then can I go now?" Ryan asked as he wedged his skateboard between his bag and his back.

"Look how sleepy he is...that's why I tell him to not play those video games late night." Mrs Smith said looking at Ryan who was now yawning.

"Bye, everyone or else we might spend the entire day here." Mr Smith said as Ryan closed the van door. As the van left, Derek looked at Ryan and asked "What's the matter bro? I thought you weren't going to play last night."
