I don't know what happened. He stopped calling and writing. I was walking in town to get a pot for some flowers my friend gave me. Then I saw a bunch of girls and one guy in the middle of the group, like they were the mice and he was the cheese. Right behind them was the "Gardeners dream store", but everyone called it the plants and pot store. So like a normal person, I walked right into the store picked out the nicest and cheapest pot there. As soon as I walked out of the store, the cheese guy ran into me. Of course my pot fell. I should have yelled at him, but I didn't. As soon as my pot fell and broke, a little seed packet fell out .It had the word basil on it. I almost forgot, I had bought a packet of basil seeds for a recipe I had been working on for a big family get together. He said he was sorry and I said it was ok. We swapped recipes. He told me about a garden. I loved gardens, when I was a kid my family had a huge garden with basil, tomatoes and lots more. He gave me a little flyer that said "The Gibb Street Garden. It was really weird because after that, he was talking to me about cooking. The next day I went down to the garden poured my basil into the ground with a little water, then patted it. As I looked up, he was there planting tomatoes. He had the stake and lots of water. I said "hi" and he said "hi" back to me. The day after that, I went to the garden really early at about 6:30 in the morning to check on my basil. Guess who was there with a big bucket filled red paint and a paint brush with a sign.It was curtis,on it he painted Lateesha's tomatoes. He told me Lateesha was his girlfriend. He also told me that people called him "Ceps" because of his big biceps. He told me she did not like it when he was with other girls, like when he and I meet there were a lot of girls around him. Well she found out and slammed the door in his face when he came home. So he wanted to do something nice for her and grow tomatoes. He also said she eats them like apples. I thought that was really weird. When we were talking he got a text message from a friend saying the only reason she acting that way is because he was spending time with Jane. There was probably a lot more to the message but that's just all he told me. I felt really badly for him because he was trying to be nice to her and she was pushing him back down because of me. So I went to her apartment and said I was sorry,she said it was ok and she said that she might have over reacted a little. I told her that Curtis was planting the tomatoes for her.I saw her the next day she looked out of her window and saw the little garden. She also saw curtis and smiled at him. That week I knew I had just made two friends by a garden. I smiled too.=====
