He was walking to Professor Kulhman’s Earth Science class. He wasn’t wide awake because that class started at 8 a.m., and who in their right mind would be willingly awake at that time? As he was walking up the stairs to enter Hickman, his heart started beating a little faster, and his hands started to shake. It was like he had seen an angel. Mesmerized by her beauty, he needed to know who that girl was.
He started waking up a little earlier each morning to beat the rush and casually bump into her. The day eventually came when he asked her on a date. She said yes! It was perfect. The dinner. The movie. Her. He started telling her about his story as a kid, and the way other kids would make fun of him on the playground. People would call him Napps because his hair was really nappy. She told him to make something good come from something bad. Like Diana Ross and Lionel Richie’s number one hit “Endless Love,” his brand was started out of love. Time went on, and the love ended. But Napps didn’t. He wanted a way to keep her attention, so he decided to use his skills to create a clothing line with the nickname he was given.
He started with just selling a couple of t-shirts to his friends and family. It was a great way for her to see his name all over campus and remember the guy she left behind. But when people started noticing his designs, they started reaching out to him for shirts. He was selling out of t-shirts within days, so he got more creative and started making more than just t-shirts. He made hats, sweatpants, sweatshirts, stickers and buttons. He never thought his clothing line would be anything outside of Southern, but then he got a call from a clothing company to which he had sent a proposal called joefreshgoods. He was proud. He had the attention and support of many girls, but couldn’t help but notice that he didn’t have the attention of the one he really wanted.
Napps needed a way to make it easier for her to purchase something, so he created a website called savenapps.com. He started to promote his website on his social media, and it then blew up.
One day, as he was walking into Hickman, there she was. Her beautiful curly hair blowing in the wind was covering her shirt, but it looked familiar to him. And there it was, his name, on the girl he once loved. Napps.
