I'M GROWN € Grown-ish

"Words they mean stuff, " Telphy said, using his hands to dramatically point out that he wrote 'WORDS' on the dry erase board. "But in Digital Marketing they can be the difference of whether or not your message Connects to your audience. Like connecting with a bitchy client, a deaf upstairs neighbor, or even a beloved step brother who's doing a dime up in Pelican Bay for trying to abduct Robert Downey Jr.,” he listed, confusing Arlo to no end

So instead of listening to the man, they decided to pay attention to Zoey who was telling them about how Cash outed her for being a virgin.  Apparently, Zoey had been getting hate and backlash for dating Cash, and when Cash defended her, he put out her business about being a virgin.

"Cut that Motherfucker loose. " Jazz snapped, clapping for emphasis

"Boi Bye." Sky sassed,"What he did to you was inexcusable,” she told her seriously, earning a nod from Arlo

“Do you really want to be with some dude who goes off on Instagram like that when he gets all in his feelings?" Jazz asked, not understanding why Zoey was even still contemplating staying with dude

“And he told you it was an accident,” Arlo spoke up for the first time, rolling their eyes,”I mean how do you accidentally type hashtag virgin. He lied right to your face,” they continued earning a hand clap from Sky, and for the first time in a while they didn’t hold any hostility towards the curly haired girl

"Honestly that is some Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian bullshit right there," Sky added, as Arlo sat on the twin’s desk

"I know right, I tell him about my virginity and he blasts it. I'm like, are you slow?" Zoey said annoyed

"I mean he is an athlete so. .” Aaron trailed off, but then realized who was in the room,"No offense guys." He quickly added to Jazz and Sky who both gave him pointed looks

"Nothing but offense taken, " Jazz said, crossing her arms over her chest

"I don 't know why you guys are going in on my boy Cash so hard?" Vivek said, gaining confused looks from all of them

Aaron looked at Vivek skeptically,"Cash is your boy?" He asked the question they all wanted the answer to

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure you were dogging him the other night,” Arlo muttered, playing with Jazz’s hair

"You know he's not, but I really need him to come to my birthday party. " Vivek clarified, shrugging as if it were obvious

"Oh, so you're just trying to smash some Cash groupies at my expense?" Zoey asked exasperatedly

“Someone has too,” Arlo mumbled, causing the twins to chuckle as Zoey sighed

‘Their still bitter about that,’ Zoey thought to herself

"Zoey I'm telling you this as a friend you should totally bounce this dude,” Vivek told her sincerely, then tilted his head,” after my party,” he whined

“Dude can't even handle some random Instagram trolls,” Jazz said,leaning forward slightly as Arlo braided her locs

“and if he gets to the NBA,it's only gonna get worse,” Sky added, giving Zoey a pointed look

“Cut that Motha fucker loose! Damn!” Jazz yelled, this time gaining the attention of the entire room

“What she said,” Arlo agreed with a chuckle, pointing to the girl beside them

"Where is everybody?" Arlo questioned as they walked to where their friend group was sitting, having just come from their dorm where they got high with Luca
