Marvin had a great birthday yesterday. McDonald's was giving out 50-cent double cheeseburgers, so he got about 20. While making the order, he heard someone blasting 50 Cent's song, "In Da Club". Once Marvin's order was complete, he put the burgers in his Nike backpack. On his way home, he ran into Chanel and ended up giving her about 5 of his burgers. Just like Marvin, Chanel didn't want to walk around carrying a bunch of burgers, so she put them in her Chanel bag. Marvin said goodbye to Chanel, and continued on his way. He was gonna ride the MTA train, but took an Uber instead. When he got to his apartment --located in Harlem-- he was greeted by a surprise party organized by his mom, Sharon. He got so many presents, but his favorite was a Balenciaga crewneck sweater from his uncle Drew.
