"Awwwe Miss D you were so cute." I was geeking out over how young she looked.

The weekend finally came back around, and I'm over at Xavier's house on this warm afternoon. The sky was partly cloudy, it's at least 88 degrees outside, and everybody's either resting outside or inside their house under the AC.
Xavier wasn't home at the moment, he was over Jordans house throwing football with them. So everybody else was occupied with their own thing, Miss D and I decided to sit in the living room— and look at their family photos.
"When we got our first camera back in 99, boy we didn't know how to act. I was 15 years old when this picture was taken of me." She told to me as she smiled at the picture

"I've been meaning to ask you. What was high school like back in your day?" I asked her
She crossed her legs and took in a deep breathe. "High School... was just like y'alls school up here. Oakland High?"

"I see you mentioned food." I criss crossed my legs on her furniture.
"Oh yes, back when you had to pay for lunch. That food was the ish yo." She and I both laughed. "No one likes going to school hungry."
