Me and Jerrika just got into this big ass argument because she's out here entertaining females.

"It's just head Taylor, it doesn't mean anything."

That's what the fuck that bit-female had to say about it when I confronted her. She sounded so condescending in her tone, like I was the one tripping. I had to leave the house before I put my hands on her. I would be okay if it was just one female, but it was multiple females. Everywhere, on every social media and like three of them mentions fucking. I was heated at this point.

I pull up to Te'a's house getting out. I walk up to the door and go to knock, but it's pulled open before I could.

Standing in the door way was a smiling Amandla

Standing in the door way was a smiling Amandla. "Hey MandaPanda." I smile hugging her. She rolls her eyes groaning, "I'm getting a bit old for the nickname Taylor. I'm sixteen now." I suck my teeth mushing her to the side, I step into the house and look at her.

"You'll always be my MandaPanda. Been that way since you were born, it's not gonna change ever." I shrug smiling at her. "Fine, but only because you're my favorite." She walks off stopping soon after, " Your wifey is out back with Justin." I laugh out loud shaking my head.

Everyone swears me and Te'a are doing shit in secret. I mean yeah we have feelings for each other, but I respect Jerrika too much to take it there and I care too much about Te'a to cross that line and lose our friendship.

Normani and Alyssa are two years younger than us so Te'a and I have been attached at the hip since birth, she was my first best friend ever and she still is. Nobody could take her place.

I step out onto the concrete and look at the scene in front of me.

I burst out laughing, "My nigga, you so damn light skin

I burst out laughing, "My nigga, you so damn light skin." Justin was nineteen and swore he was God's gift to women. I shake my head as Te'a takes the picture. She hands him the phone walking over to me. "Man, I look good. You a hater Taylor." He laughs and goes into the house. Te'a steps up to me and wrap her arms around my neck.
