Cymphonique POV

So I get a call from Jacob of him askin' about goin' to some premiere. I wish he would have said somethin' sooner. Now I'm on my way out to see grandma. Me and August were spendin' a week away. I guess I needa figure this one out, yet he hasn't put us out there.

I don't wanna be put out there just yet but then again I'm tired of bein' hidden. We been together for a while now so it's 'bout time I come out. I love him. It's 'bout time that the world knows who's heart he got. Mine.

I didn't exactly give him an answer cause maybe I can talk to August. Scratch that. I'll just talk it over wit' Nicki. At least she cuts me some sort of slack. Unlike some people, name August.

I walk into the bedroom to see Nicki puttin' on her bra. "oh hey Cym."

"Hey Nicki. Ummm, can I talk to you 'bout somethin'?" I ask her.

"Oh Lord." Nicki gasps. "please tell me you ain't pregnant."

"No. No. No." I said. "I wanna talk 'bout goin' to this premiere wit' Jacob?"

"I thought you and August were..." I cut her off.

"We are but he just asked me and I wanna be there." I said. "I was hopin' you could talk to him."

"Why can't you?" Nicki asks me.

"Because he's gonna act like....Y'know difficult." I said.

"Yeah. That he will do." Nicki said. "no to misses but I'll see what he wanna do."

"Thanks Nicki." I said givin' her a hug.

I leave back out the room to finish packin' when the doorbell rings. I run downstairs to see its Zendaya. She comes through the door all mad. It's pretty obvious it's Trevor or Liane. Ion what's goin' on now wit' that.

Along wit' her it's LuLu and Kylie and Bella Throne. I close the door behind me and talk to 'em. Yeah I should be packin' but I can use the break. At least I can get some honest answers. 'Bout me makin' this decision.

And, that is, to go public.

I sit on the couch and start to listen to Zendaya rant 'bout nothin'. I'm not followin' this at all. If Trevor ain't cheatin' then why worry? Damn.

"It's not Trevor. I just don't trust Liane." Zendaya said.

"Then why worry? You're datin' Trevor not Liane." I said.

"Exactly." Kylie said.

"Kylie don't make any comments." Zendaya said. "you have your own problems wit' Tyga."

Damn, shade is real!

"Excuse me for ever speaking." Kylie said.

"Was that really necessary Zendaya?" Bella asks her.

"It wasn't." Lulu said.

"Lay off won't you." Zendaya said.

"Cool it child." I said."don't nobody make a comment to that."

"I'm just ugh." Zendaya said. "new topic. What are you doing Cym?"

"I'm packin' to leave wit' August. Since he gotta go to New Orleans anyway. I was goin' back to see errbody and come back."

"Oh. How long will you be gone?" Lulu asks.

"Don't worry I'll be back before the championship even starts." I said.

"Okay, good." Lulu said. "Oh did you talk to the coach about the scholarship?"

"Ooh umm she mention somethin' 'bout somebody comin' to see me play. If all goes well then I can play I the NBA. But, it's not like confirmed." I said.

"I hope so. You deserve it." Lulu said.

"Thanks." I said. "oh but I have somethin' else to share."

"Jacob asked me to come to a premiere. We aren't public. But I want to be. I just wanted to kno' y'all's opinion."

"Ion." Zendaya said. "are you sure that's something you wanna do?"

"Or is he forcing you?" Kylie chimes in. "he has a reputation."

Yeah, this is comin' from a Kardashian.

"I kno' he could be a player but he's changed. I believe it." I said.

"Then I say go for it." Bella said.

"I guess if that's what you want that's what you want." Zendaya said.

"I don't know." Lulu said.

"Don't look at me. I'm the last person you should listen to." Kylie said and we all laugh.

"Okay, well I guess I still have somethin' to think 'bout." I said.
