Never Underestimate

Chapter 11 •

Melanie P.O.V.

I was going to this party tonight. It better not be lame. I was wearing a yellow shirt and a pair of jeans, with my black gold and brown heels. My phone let out a BING, signaling a text message.

Veronica (6:40pm) : I'm Outside, Leggo!

I locked my screen and tucked my phone in my back pocket. Walking down stairs, opening and shutting the front door. I got in the car with Veronica and crossed my arms. She took off down the street.

Mark P.O.V.

I really have to admit. I was really pissed about Kristine rejecting me for the party, but it is what it is. I had on a white wife beater and some red joggers and all white Air forces. Something simple. I was waiting on Jermy to come get me. His dad finally let him get the car. I heard honking outside, knowing that it was Jermy; I got my things and headed out the front door. I slid in the passenger seat chuckling. "Finally got the car and don't know how to act huh?" He straight faced me and said, "Shut up foo, put yo seatbelt on." I frowned, "You sound like my mama." I said while putting my seatbelt on. He looked both ways and drove off from the curb.

Kristine P.O.V.

I was just now getting up before I be late for the performance. I put on my black shirt, black tights, timberlands, a black beanie and a red and black collared shirt wrapped around my waist. I put on my gold watch while examining myself in the mirror. I smiled, satisfied with my outfit. I heard a light knock on my door. "Come in." My door opened and my mom's head popped out from behind the door. "You ready?" I nodded. I followed her out my room downstairs. Once outside, I climbed in the passenger seat waiting on my mom. She climbed in the driver seat, shutting the car door. Looking in the rearview mirror before backing out the driveway. I took a deep breath ready for anything that came my way today.

Jermy P.O.V.

I pulled in the parking lot getting out the car. I leaned up against the car scanning the people that were going inside. I heard the car door slam. I turned around so quick, "Aye nigga! Don't be slamming the door like you don't got no sense." Mark put his hands up in surrender. "My bad." I nodded. I turned around proceeding with my scanning, soon spotting Anna. I smiled to myself. "Yo Anna!" She turned around and let out a small smile, walking towards me. "Hey Jermy, you look good." She said taking in what I had on. I had on a black shirt, some jeans with my red and black Jordan 13's. We linked arms and Mark followed behind as we went into the party.

Mark P.O.V.

I felt like a third wing up in this mf. We all made our way inside and may I say it was packed. I was wondering who was performing tonight. I was all up in my phone, texting Kristine but getting no reply. The DJ came on but I didn't pay him no mind. "Alright ladies and gentlemen, y'all already know who performing tonight. So give it up for my lil shorty, K.Brown!" The crowd went wild. "I'd be damned. Won't you look at that?" I heard Jermy mumble while tapping my shoulder. I looked up just in time to see no other than Kristine walking out on stage with the microphone in her hand with a shy smile on her face. The music started and she starting rapping. May I say, she was pretty good. A smile crept upon my face because she looked happy doing this. I could see the sparks in her eyes you know; usually it was no life in them pretty ole eyes. Next thing you know the song eventually ended and a slow song came on and when she started singing, my whole world was blown away.

It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

We've come a long way from where we began

Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again

Damn who knew all the planes we flew
Good things we've been through

That I'll be standing right here
Talking to you about another path

I Know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last

Had to switch up look at things different see the bigger picture

Those were the days hard work forever pays now I see you in a better place

How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got?

Everything I went through you were standing there by my side

And now you gonna be with me for the last ride.

Kristine P.O.V.

When I finished the song, the crowd burst out in applause. I couldn't help but have a huge smile on my face and while taking a bow. I walked off the stage with my head low, I kept walking when I bumped into somebody. I looked up to see Mark. "Hey, um I'm so sorry for blowing you off and uh-" He cut me off, "It's okay chill. All I wanted to say was, you was dope as fuck up there Kristine. Or should I say K.Brown?" He chuckled. I smiled and pushed up my glasses. "Kinda cocky huh? It was the DJ's idea so.." We both shared a laugh. "Kristine man, you was live out there." I looked behind Mark to see Jermy. I nodded, "Thanks." He nodded back. When he left, Mark cleared his throat. "So, since we're both here, you like want to chill or something? It is a party you know." He said while scratching the back of his neck. "Yeah I'd like that." I said with a sly smile.

Melanie P.O.V.

I seen Kristine up there on stage. I'm not gone hate and say some rude shit. She did good, real good. I give her props for that. "Melanie, I didn't know Kristine could sing like that. Did you?" Veronica said to me. I rolled my eyes. "No Veronica, not until now." I walked off clapping my hands to signal her to follow me.

Unknown P.O.V.

I seen shawty up on stage today. She was real good, she could rap and sing. You barely see that now a days, I should meet ole girl one day; personally. I might just do that, when the times right. Wait for her to graduate or something, then she could start her career.

* 1 HOUR LATER *

Jermy P.O.V.

Me, Mark, Anna and Kristine. Were all making our way out the party like the rest of the people. I turned towards Anna and licked my lips. "I had a great time Jermy." She said to me while smiling. " I know girl, I know you digged my dance moves huh?" She chuckled and put her head on my chest. "Come on Anna, we're about to leave! Tell yo man goodbye chile." I heard one of her friends Izabell say. "I'll see you later okay?" I nodded. "Okay." She smiled before walking off. Shit as the nigga I am, I couldn't help but stare at her walking. "You better keep yo eyes to yoself nigga!" Izabell yelled. I cocked my head to the side and said, "Don't worry! I'll be waiting for you at the doe. Better recognize who you speaking to." She laughed before shooting me the bird, getting into what I think was her car; driving off. I turned around to see Mark saying his goodbyes to Kristine before she got in her mom's car. Of course Mark had to say something to her mom. Eventually they took off down the road and Mark walked back towards me and the car. "You ready?" He nodded. I climbed in the drivers seat, shutting the door and putting on my seatbelt. I heard the car door slam once again. I hit my hand on the steering wheel. "Niggaaaa, you got some fucking hulk hands! Can you not slam the door? Like allat ain't even necessary man." "My bad, shit." He said. I shook my head and plugged my phone up to the aux cord. I put on Migos ~ Shmoney Never Stop. While backing up out the parking lot and taking off down the street.
