A New Beginning

Chapter 1

Friday, New Years Eve
My phone keeps ringing and I'm trying to sleep. Last night was a long ass night, customers were rude as shit. I looked at my phone and it was Kalin calling me at 11am.

Phone Conversation:

Kalin: ayoo Ronnie what you doing tonight? Don't tell me your sleeping!
Ronnie: Don't even start Kalin! And I'm sleeping in you know watch Netflix and eat ice cream like last year.
K: well not this year you know my bro Derek? He's having a New Years party and your going. No if,and or buts be ready by 8! Love you
R: I guess I have no choice, I'll see you later then punk. Love you too

I got up from my bed and looked into my walking closet trying to figure out what to wear. I picked out this white and black tribal dress that comes a little bit above my knees. I don't know what shoes to wear so I'm looking and looking. I'm undecided I either want to wear my red heels or red converses. I took out the outfit and set it on my bed. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I then walked downstairs and started to look for something to eat. I ended up making pancakes and just starting thinking about how the party would turn out. Derek and I met at a KAMFAM concert backstage. I was in charge of picking the girlfriends and he wanted to help out. From there I guess you can say we got along we say our hey's when we see each other. So I guess it'll be fun at the party. I've always been known to take the longest as to getting dressed. That's why Kalin always I mean always call me ahead of time to get dressed. After I ate I decided to do laundry and study for my upcoming exam coming up. It'll make time go by faster for sure.

Skips to 7pm*
I went upstairs to my room and turned on the shower. I turn on my Bluetooth speaker and "At The Dedication Tour" came on. I got on Twitter and scrolled down my TL. I came across Derek's tweet talking about his party. I favorited it and went to the bathroom. I washed my hair and did my normal routine of washing myself. After I got out, I wrapped my hair with a towel and I put my undergarment on. I rubbed lotion on my body. I put my dress on and looked in the mirror. I can't remember the last time I wore this dress. I went into the bathroom and put gel and sprayed a little bit of hairspray so my tight curls remain okay all night. I did my makeup not much tho just basic eyeliner and mascara. I still haven't decided what shoes to wear so I just picked my red high heels. My phone starting ringing and it was a unknown number. I answered it and it was Derek telling me to come outside he's here. First how did he get my number and second how does he know where I live? He then text me : hurry up shawty 😘. I looked in the mirror one last time and poofed my hair a bit. I sprayed my new VS Pink perfume and grabbed my converse and threw some socks in there. I grabbed my keys and walked outside. He got out the car and opened the door for me. I smiled and got in. He ran over the the other side and started driving. The whole ride was silent kind of he was singing but very low. We got to his house and I saw Kalin leaning on his car. I walked towards him and gave him a big hug. I haven't seen him in forever. We all three walked in and it was mad crowded. The music was jumping I started dancing while Kalin and Derek took me to where the DJ was. I looked at the DJ and he looked so familiar I think he visited the club I work at sometimes. His mixes sounded so familiar too. Ahh he came to the bar and ordered a drink I remember. Kalin left me to go get drinks for me and himself. Derek introduced me to the DJ . The DJ then started laughing and started smiling. He said I seen you before you are a bartender from that club down in Sac. That drink was bomb as fuck yo. I prepare that drink the most on the weekends I said. Derek kept looking at my body. I just kept looking away and then Kalin showed up with my drink. The whole night everybody payed attention to the time. It was 11:57 and the house sorta calmed down. The DJ turned the music down, and everybody got with their friends. I only knew Kalin and Derek so that's who I stuck with. They officially started the countdown 5...4...3...2...1 ! And before I knew it Derek's lips met mine and everyone around us started cheering.
