Reflection: Adopted by Fifth Harmony

21 Questions

After my uneventful shower, I quickly dressed in a ‘Eat, Sleep, Tumblr, Repeat’ t-shirt and a pair of black leggings, opting for some white uptowns to complete the outfit, and met the girls in the lobby, via directions from their text message.

“I like your shirt,” Normani commented as I exited the elevator, causing me to smile.

“Thanks,” I replied, joining the group, “so, where to, first?”

“A PR meeting. Very boring.” Camila offered, “Are you sure you want to do this instead of shopping?”

I nod, “I’ve got to get used to it, right?” I asked, receiving an approving smile from Ally.

“Guys, the car is here!” Dinah reported from her post a few feet away, nearer to the window. I followed them into a large van with 3 rows of seats, Camila and Dinah in the back, Lauren sprawled in the second row, Ally in the front, and Normani and I in the first row.

“I call dibs on the radio!” Ally screamed, quickly hitting the ‘On’ button and tuning into a Hip hop station. I looked at her incredulously as Trey Songz Foreign came on the radio.

“Co-Co-Columbiano, yeah I luh dat, I love her if she speak another language…” Ally sang before turning back, grinning, “I absolutely love this song.”

I stared at her wide-eyed, “Bruh.”

Lauren chuckled, “Don’t let the bubbles and trees persona fool you, Ally is a secret thug.”

“Forreal, girl,” Normani added, nudging me with her elbow, “wanna play 21?” She asked, looking at me.

“Out loud?”

“Yeah, why not?” Camila interrupted, leaning forward, “that way we can use the time to get to know each other.”

“Okay,” I agreed, nibbling on my bottom lip, “Who’s the ...wait, I know the answer, Camila is loudest. Um… what’s your favorite Disney movies?”

“Little Mermaid!” Lauren cheered, “Love that girl.”

“Um… I like Rapunzel.” Camila drawled, as if she couldn’t quite make up her mind.

“Camila…,” Normani said quietly, “honey, that’s not the name of the movie. It’s called Tangled.”

“You would know.” Ally quipped, causing Normani to gasp, “Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing, nothing.” Ally said, raising her hands in an I surrender gesture.

“Do you see this?” Normani turned to me, giving me a look, “She is so rude. Ally, you are a bully.”

“Am not! I was kidding, you know you’re my favorite.” Ally giggled, giving her a reassuring look.

“Hey!” me and Lauren both shouted at the same time, completely caught off guard by Ally’s confession of favoritism toward anyone but us.

“What I meant to say, was I have 5 favorites. Camila, Dinah, Normani, Lauren, and you, Paigey.”

“Awwww!”

“So, back to the game.” Dinah announced, putting down her phone from taking selfies to wave her hands in between all of us, “Mine is Lilo and Stitch, as racist as it seems.”

“Oh yeah… I forgot Lilo was from Hawaii.” I said, “It’s not racist, that’s racial pride right there!”

Dinah laughed, “Yass girl!”

“Cubans all the way!” Camila interrupted, causing us all to laugh at her. Even Lauren left her hanging, “Wow, everyone deserts the Cubana, huh?”
