"Hey," he says. "My little brother and I have been looking for this girl,"
Zo holds up his phone, revealing a picture of the girl I use.

Danni turns around facing me.
"Have you seen her?" He asked.
Danni shakes her head no.
"Sorry," she frowns.
Zo gets ready to walk away.
"Wait!" I say.
Zo looks at me and I swallow.
"I-it's me, Zo." I look him in the eyes. "I'm Lani..."
Zo looks at me with an eyebrow raised.
"Lani, you look different..."
"That isn't me in those pictures." I say.
Zo doesn't look mad or anything.
"Well duh," he says.
Still no emotions on his face.
Zo turns around and signals for his brother to come over.
Danni stares at the boy and I can tell she's trying not to freak out.
She pulls out her phone and pretends to text somebody to occupy herself.
"Wanna talk, in private?" I asked. "I'll explain everything."
Zo nods his head.

We walk to the food court of the mall and we sit at a table.
"So why'd you do it?" Lonzo asked.
"I'm just a little insecure about myself."
Lonzo makes a face.
"Insecure about what, you're beautiful!" Lozno grabs my hand looking me in the eyes. "You're more beautiful than the girl in the photos you sent Lani."
I smile looking away.
"Thank you,"
"I'm not mad or anything, I'm just shocked." Lonzo says.
I nod my head.

"So?" I say kicking my foot back and fourth.
LaMelo looks at me.
"You're cute," he says.
"Aha, thanks." I look at him. "You're cute too!"
Nah bro, you're not cute, you're fucking fine!
I mean look at you, your tall, you got them big lips, cute ass eyebrows, nice body, sexy ass face, perfect goofy personality, and you're a baller...shit, go ahead and wife me up.He could get this any day.
"You wanna go walk around the mall or something?" LaMelo asked blushing slightly.
I nod my head.
LaMelo is debating on whether or not he should grab my hand, and he decides not to.
I don't know where this sudden courage came from, but I grab his hand.
I feel both of us tense up and then we both relax walking hand in hand around the mall.
