*The Barbeque*

Mrs. Hatch gets up and looks at the time, it's 10:16 am. She gets up and knocks on Paris door. There's no answer so she opens her door. Paris is fast asleep. She kisses her on the forehead then heads out the door. She locks the front door and gets in her car. At some point I'm gonna have to tell her. It's just not the time right now. She backs up out the driveway and goes to work. Paris sits up in her bed and rubs her eyes. She reaches over and grabs her phone. She sees the text that Keon sent about the barbeque today. Scrolling down her contacts she decides to call Nisha. She doesn't answer, so Paris gets up and go to the bathroom. She cuts on the shower and gets in. The water is warm, she stands under the shower head. Letting the water hit the top of her head on down. She closes her eyes and sighs. She washes her hair then herself. She grabs the towel and gets out. Wrapping it around her, she goes in her room to find something to wear. Her phones rings and it's Nisha.

Paris: Hey I was wondering what you were doing today.

Nisha: nothing, why what's up?

Paris: Do you want to hang out with me today?

Nisha: sure I have to ask my mom. Where do u stay?

Paris: On Wayne Dr.

Nisha: Oh really, I'm right around the corner from you. Tell you what give me about an hour so I can get dressed and I will walk to your house.

Paris: okay sounds like a plan. Call me when you get on my street.

Nisha: Alright see you then.

Paris: OK bye.

Mrs. Smith is up and at the grocery store getting more food. She already called some of her family to come to the barbeque. Before she left she told keon to get up and straighting up the house for all their guess, that would be coming. Keon cleans the kitchen from top to bottom. He cleans the living room and bathroom. After his done he looks out the window to Paris house. Her moms car is gone. He wonders if she's at home. He throws his shoes on and head over to her house. Paris puts on her blue jean skirt, black T-shirt, and her black jordan's. She combs her hair down straight. Then puts her black headband on. She hears someone knocking at the door. She goes and opens the door. Hey Paris can I talk to you? Paris nods her head yes, then moves to the side so he can come in. It's a moment of silence at first. Keon is thinking about what his gonna say to her. Paris don't know what to think at the moment. She leans on the kitchen table with her arms cross. Paris this has been a week for both of us. Alot has happened since we first met. How about we start all over. Hi my name is keon. He holds his hand out to Paris. She looks at his hand then him. So this means everything that has happened, we just act like it didn't happen? The kiss we shared and you and Ashely. Paris says with her eye brow raised. In keon heart he know he can't forget about their kiss and about yesterday. Yes Paris that's exactly what I'm saying. I just want us to start over and forget about everything that has happened. So can we be friends Paris. She stands there for a minute staring at the floor. Nice to meet you Keon, my name is paris. She holds her hand out to keon. He shakes her hand. Keon lets out a sigh. So are you gonna come over to the barbeque? Paris thinks about it. Well i don't know Keon. I'm hanging out with Nisha today. Well if you can I will like it if you came. Paris smiles and nods her head. Keon goes out the door. Paris watches him as he walks home. She sighs, she don't know what to think about starting over and being friends. She still feel the same for him.Paris phone rings:
