Teacher's Pet

XXVI

Normani rolled her suitcase in frustration, she was running on little to no sleep not to mention her being slightly irritated for other reasons. The bright lights weren't helping her attitude so to avoid that she sported black shades that were supposed to be for when she got to Houston.

"Mani, you still have an attitude?" Zendaya asked, she earned a head turn from her best friend and Zendaya just knew she rolled her eyes despite the shades. "I guess you do."

"Why the hell does she have one in the first place?" Ryan asked with a yawn, clearly lost as to what the brat's problem was today.

"I swear she had an attitude since her girl left for Houston but she claims that's not it."

"Because it's not." Normani snapped, her head back to facing forward as the two looked at her before rolling their eyes simultaneously.

"Well, I got something to cheer you up buttercup." Ryan announced, wiggling her eyebrows before digging in her bag.

"Ryan, we can't smoke at an airport."

"But we can eat an edible."

Ryan finally pulled out a small ziplock bag that contained three small brownies. "One for each, you want one miserella?"

Normani rolled her eyes despite her friends not being able to see them but held her hand out nonetheless. Zendaya passed her the baggy that contained the last brownie as she chewed hers.

"It'll take a minute to kick in but once it does, we shouldn't be dealing with her attitude." Ryan whispered to Zendaya as they both watched their best friend eat the brownie.

"Let's hope not."

The three were boarded the plane, in their seats with Normani in the middle. Usually she liked the window seat but she said she didn't trust that those two wouldn't be all touchy feely so she chose the middle. She made Ryan get the window seat, Normani knew Ryan would come through when it came to getting some good pictures for her story.

"Damn I'm high." Zendaya blurted randomly while laughing causing the other two to do the same while nodding their heads in agreement.

"Me too, I can't even be mad right now." Normani admitted through giggles, she almost forgot why she was mad. Even though she remembered exactly why she was upset, she just couldn't allow herself to be upset. The marijuana had officially done it's job.

"Why the fuck are you mad anyways?"

"Ugh because of Beyoncé!"

Zendaya looked at Ryan with an "I told you so" expression on her face before Normani continued explaining.

"I wanted her to change her flight so we could fly together and she said no."

"Mani, you are seriously a damn brat."

Normani pouted at Ryan's words and shrugged. "I miss her. I also wanted to join the mile high club."

"You forgot you got a whole step kid? How was that gonna happen?"

"Huh, I never thought about that but I still miss her."

Zendaya snorted before sighing with a shake of her head. "I'm ready for this plane to take off so that it can land, y'all know I hate flying."

"You gonna piss yourself when it takes off because you're scared of flying and being high makes people paranoid. Oh my god, I hope you don't pee on us."

"You get high and just become dumb." Normani informed Ryan with a mug. "It'll be over soon, we'll probably fall asleep or laugh our ass off the whole way."
