I'm trying to figure out why everybody is staring at me when i see Sophie looking down. This bitch. She told everybody what happened but she probably switched up everything that happened like she does with everybody else. "What?" I asked. "Did you really attack Sophie", someone asked me. "What no, she broke into my house while i was in the shower just to ask if i can do a tiktok. Comes to find out Sophies been using me she's always asking to make tiktoks with me, always. Breaking into my house is going to far and all i did was yell at you to get out because you refused to leave. I could press charges for that." I explained as best as i could. I made eye contact with Ja and he jus shaked his head smiling. Everybody looked at sophie and started yelling at her she just looked down and put her hands in her face. I smiled back, the bus driver said to sit down so i went to the middle where Ja,and Ty were. "What the fuck actually happened",Ty asked laughing as if he didnt belive me. "Thats what happened" I said to him throwing my hands up. "So you leave your doors unlcoked?", Ty asked. "Tyrell fucking Walker what kind of question is that", i said to him while he's looking lost. "I don-" "Yes Tyrell i lock my doors she climbed in through my fucking window" I said cutting him off, Ty can be such a jackass sometimes. Everybody knew that, "I thought you guys were besties", Ja says in a zesty girl voice. "We were supposed to but she started acting different as soon as i started getting famous." i said to Ja, zoning out thinking about when it first happened.

*Flashback* 2 years ago 

I just posted a video of me lip syncing the song Me u and hennessey by dej loaf and lil wayne. I'm in eighth grade right now. I went downstairs where my mom and Soph was. I went and flopped on the couch beside Sophie, "Did you post it?", Sophie asked turning to me. "¿publicar qué?", My mom asked me. (Post what). "Its a video I made ma I'm hoping to go viral but also this song has been stuck in my head." I explained to mom. My mom is Dominican and my dad was black before he died. "So your tryna go famous so you can leave me by myelf" my mom said in her beautiful accent of hers, she was fake pouting. "no ma I'm not gonna leave you" I said going to give her a hug. i'm in her arms not wanting to let go at this moment, "aww mi hija i was just kidding, if you ever want to leave me thats your choice." My mom said while rubbing my back. 

Time skip

Sophie was staying the night at my house, we were upstairs on my bed ready to go to sleep, then mom comes in to tell us goodnight, "Goodnight Mi amors." mom said before closing the door. "you think that video is gonna get a lot of views?" Sophie asked me while we were both looking at the ceiling. "I dont even know tbh if it does it does", I told her, rolling over falling asleep. 

I hear my phone going off, I start to wake up but i just ignore it. I wake up once again but this time its morning i get up to use the bathroom but Sophies in my bathroom so i go back to my bed and sit down grabbing my phone. I look at it- "HOLY SHIT", I yelled excitedly. Sophie then came running out the bathroom,"WHAT WHAT WHAT" Sophie said jumping on the bed beside me.  "LOOK AT THIS SHITT", I yelled excitedly again. I showed her my phone which had over 750k notifications on it from tiktok. "holy shit" Sophie whispered. "I KNOW RIGHT" I said now screaming. I then opened tiktok and went to my video, and seen i had 956k likes. "I'm going to go get ready." i said running to the bathroom with my phone in my hand.

Two days later

I was in the kitchen with my mom making beef tostadas, when Sophie comes running through the door. She didnt even take her shoes off which i was finna yell at her for but my mom put a hand on my shoulder, "ZARIII", Sophie yelled running up to me. "Yeahh?" i said back confused. "I need to talk to you", she said giving me a look. She grabbed my arm pulling my arm, "Sophie im cooking!" I yelled trying to get out of her grasp "ITS IMPORTANT" She yelled. "MOMM" I screamed. She just shrugged her shoulders. We got up to my room and seh just sat on my bed quiet. "WHAT" i yelled at her annoyed "um do you wanna make a tiktok" she muttered. "Yea Soph yes" I said. I had been making tiktoks lately and already had 187k followers.

After that she kept asking and kept asking.

Zari..

Zari..

"ZARI" I heard Ja yell, i jumped and looked up to see him and Ty standing there looking down at me meaning the bus had stopped and we were at school. I got up and walked behind them but Ty stopped and got in a seat and i kept walking and he walked behind me. We got off the bus and he grabbed me by the waist and looked in my eyes, "you okay ma?" he said staring down at me. "yea im fine", i said not looking at him. He then grabbed my face and made me look t him, "dont lie to me mi amor" he said looking in my eyes. "Eww tyy thats cringey" i said removing his hand then slapping it. No we dont date he's just a big flirt. "And stop flirting" i said then kicking his knees from the side making him fall. "AAAH that fucking hurt" he said screaming, "I missed the part where thats my problem"I told him smirking. (iykyk) He flipped me off and i laughed and walked away. I walked in the building and couldnt belive what i saw.
