"happy birthday, baby!" i grinned as i brought billie into a tight hug.

"thank you." she chuckled as she hugged me back.

once she pulled back, she placed her hands on my waist and looked me up and down. "hi," she bit back a smile. "you look cute."

i looked down at my outfit. i was wearing a skirt, paired with one of her sweatshirts, which had a collared shirt underneath. i was also wearing a pair of air forces that i had painted.

"you think?" i asked with a smile.

"of course," she nodded. "then again, you always look cute."

"thank you," i blushed. "you look really good too!"

she was wearing an all white outfit that had the gucci logo all over it. she then, of course, had all of her chains, rings, and bracelets on too.

"thank you, mama." she grinned before connecting our lips for a kiss.

"i'm sorry i couldn't come any earlier, i had to help my mom with a bunch of shit." i told her with a slight pout.

"it's alright, lovebug, don't even worry about it. you're here now, and that's all that matters, right?"

"right." i nodded.

she moved her hand down to grab my own hand and interlace our fingers. "let's go inside, yeah?"

i nodded and she lead me into the house. since her house was pretty small, she opted to have her birthday party at giovanni's house instead.

dude's house is huge.

we walked inside and was instantly met by loud music, the smell of alcohol and weed, as well as a bunch of people.

she lead me to the kitchen. there was a small group of people there.

"oh, there you are bil! you wandered off without even saying anything." one of the guys said with a small laugh.

"my bad." she chuckled.

one of the other dudes looked over at me. "and who is this?"

"this is my girl. stay back before i punch your ass." she told him as she moved her arm to wrap it around my waist and bring me closer to her.

"guys, this is sage," she introduced me. "sage, this is alex, timothy, rylee, and then you already know gio."

"hi." i raised my wand in a slight wave.

they all said variations of hey's and wassup's, though rylee just glared at me, which made me furrow my brows.

"so, how long have y'all been dating?" timothy asked.

"the second of january will make two months." billie smiled.

"ahh," alex nodded. "cute."

we continued to talk to the four of them for a while. rylee glared at me the whole time, which admittedly made me uncomfortable. i leaned into billie's side a bit more, which she welcomed absentmindedly.

i've never even met rylee before tonight so what's her problem with me?

"do y'all have any clue what y'all are doing after high school?" timothy asked as he looked between us all. "because i have absolutely no clue."

"shit, me either," i snorted. "though, something in cosmetology or some shit sounds cool."

"cosme what now?" billie's brows furrowed together in confusion.
