I'M GROWN € Grown-ish

Starboy

A week had passed since Zoey’s mess with Luca and Aaron, which Arlo was very annoyed by and didn’t sugar coat how they felt about the situation whenever it was brought up.

The girls and Arlo were now in Zoey’s dorm as she wanted advice on tutoring the baller and college recruit Cash Mooney.

"I can't believe Dean Parker is making you do this, " Ana said displeased as she watched the recruiting video end

"Making her? The dude is insane, I saw him dunking at nine years old,” Sky said, turning the laptop and taking another peek at the fine basketball player, Arlo looking over Jazz’s shoulder as the girl was sitting on their lap

"Even I know this," Nomi said, shaking her head and licking her lips. "He's on the short list of
black guys my dad would allow me to date.

"Your dad has a list?" Zoey asked, pausing and giving her friend a shocked look

"Yeah, Cash and Odell Beckham,” Nomi listed, then tilted her head,”Kevin Hart was there but he got scratched off."

“That makes sense,” Jazz mumbled, nodding her head in agreement

Zoey sat up on her bed shutting her laptop, annoyed that no one had any good advice about the situation at hand. "I just don't care about a basketball player. Right now all I'm about is getting this Teen Vogue fellowship. He needs to pass a class, I need a recommendation letter,”

“So why are we here?” Arlo questioned, their voice full of annoyance as they leaned their head on Jazz’s shoulder

“I uh,” Zoey stuttered not really knowing what to say, she was put off by her friends obvious annoyance with her

There was an awkward silence before all the girls, except Zoey, looked at each other and busted into fits of giggles. "They are totally gonna bone," Ana said clutching a pillow that was in a chair.

Zoey sighed, "No we're not, l00% I'm off of guys for a minute. Especially after the whole 'Aaron/ Luca mess,”

“You say that as if you weren’t the problem,” Arlo sassed, earning an impressed look from the twins

“Okay, I know what I did was wrong,” Zoey snapped back, obviously irritated by her friends constant comments,”Luca isn’t even mad anymore-”

“Watch your tone,” Jazz butted in, narrowing her eyes at the girl

“They didn’t raise their voice at you, let’s keep it respectful bitch,” Sky added, glaring at her as Nomi and Ana looked at each other awkwardly

“Sorry,” Zoey apologized with a sigh

"Anyway, Aaron and Luca are clowns compared to Cash Mooney,” Sky continued the conversation as if nothing happened

"She’s right, You don't see a forty foot banner of Aaron's ducktail blocking the wheelchair ramp on the way in the library, do you?" Jazz asked, laughing at the ridiculous thought causing Arlo to smile at the sound

"This is not about a guy, this is about getting a good 'rec' letter from the Dean of Student so I can lock down the flyest fellowship in town. You guys are ridiculous,” Zoey said getting off the bed and shutting her laptop laughing at her friends' crazy ideas.

"You're ridiculous bitch!" Jazz shouted defensive, causing the room to go silent as they all looked shocked

Arlo kissed the back of her shoulder, which went unnoticed by the group but calmed her down slightly

"Woah," Zoey muttered, not expecting the girl to clap back

"Sorry, I felt threatened," Jazz said, crossing her arms and leaning more into Arlo
