I wake up to my mom screaming my name, i was a bit confused because it's a Saturday.

" SIMONE, YOU DON'T HEAR THAT DAMN ALARM RINGING?"

"oh shit " i say searching for my phone, i forgot that i set it so that i could be up & ready for the cookout Spencer invited me to in Crenshaw.

" SORRY MOM! " i say yelling back downstairs

i check the time and it's currently 1:15 and the cookout starts at 3:00. i hop out of bed quickly because i know how long i take to get ready.

i take a shower, brush my teeth, fix my passion twist into a half-up-half-down with two twist in the front, and put my outfit on. My outfit is a white dress with drawstrings on the side, i also put a green bomber jacket on top of it.

after i get dressed and grab my purse. I get downstairs, grab my keys and leave the house.

I get in the car and connect my bluetooth. I play my favorite album ever, "Blonde" by Frank Ocean all the way until I get to Crenshaw.

it takes me about 30 minutes to get to Crenshaw, when i knock on the door i'm greeted by Jordan. Olivia isn't here because she thinks seeing Spencer will only give her mixed emotions.

" Jordan? Hey. " I say shocked that he opened the door, last time i checked him and Spencer had problems.

" What's up? i haven't seen you in a while, where you been? " he says moving out of the way so i can enter the house.

" nothing much, just staying home as usual. I was at the house on Tuesday with Liv but you weren't there. " i say walking into the house, towards the kitchen.

" Hi Mrs.James, how are you? "

" Hi love, im good what about you?"

" i'm getting there, where's everyone at? " i say looking around

" in the backyard, Jordan can you take her back there? my hands are kinda full " she says picking up a platter.

when we get outside i see more people then i expected, i should've seen it coming though, we're in Crenshaw.

" why weren't you outside when i got here?" i ask Jordan starting conversation

" having a little trouble fitting in." he says in a low tone

" you? having trouble fitting in? "

i see Spencer waving us to the table where him and his friends were sitting.

" lets go, give it another shot " i say grabbing Jordan's hand and pulling him towards the table
