BEYONCÉ KNOWLES ⇜HOUSTON TEXAS, JUNE 5th 2021ద
"I'm going to Ms. Carol's!" I yelled to my mother, I don't know if she heard me.
I peaked into her office she was sewing dresses and stuff. She gave me a thumbs up and I happily left the house. I read majority of the books I had in my room. But there was this specific book I needed to reread.
It was kinda urban and it reminded me of Onika. It was a girl and some boy it was really messy. I liked reading it because it was really ghetto.
I knocked on the door patiently waiting. Ms. Carol was probably in there cooking. I had a feeling, she opened the door and I was right. She had on an apron that said kiss the chef.
"Hey bey baby what's up?" I gave her a quick kiss on the check and she just chuckled.
"I wanted to know if I could go in Onika's room. She has most of my books and-."
"That's fine. Your like my third daughter do what you want." And with that she turned around.
I closed and locked the door taking my shoes off. I happily skipped toward her room. It smelled just like her in here I wanted to cry a little bit. I missed Onika so much.
I jumped in her bed smelling her pillow. After a few seconds I felt creepy to I stopped. I stood going into her closet. She had like four boxes full of my books. They were right by all her shoes. This girl had ever pair of Jordan's she just couldn't help herself.
I opened the third box and immediately found the book I wanted. It was full of sticky notes I like to mark the parts I find funny. I sat on her bed and opened the book going to my favorite part.
"Jasmine stop playing." Marcus said rolling his eyes. She just smirked up at him. Clearly not caring, they were so close. Chest to chest in the center of the party.
They were seconds away from kissing. His heart was pounding in his chest as her eyes sparkled up at him.
"I know we've been friends for years but... I really like you marcus. I'm tired of just being your best friend. I wanna be your girlfriend." I couldn't help but squeal and fall back into the bed.
I wish I was this bold, I wanted to be just like Jasmine. She was always bold and said what she wanted. Marcus was the shy one but Jasmine? She didn't care and always spoke from the heart.
That's why I liked this book so much.
I went to turn the page but my phone started vibrating. I pulled it out it was a Group FaceTime call. I answered staring at the screen. Megan and Kelly were together, Brent's camera was off, and Frank and Pharrell were walking. I was a little confused they were all talking.
"Who rung bey?" Megan sassed, Frank started blabbing about equality or something.
"What are y'all talking about?" I questioned, Megan put her head in the camera trying to look in my background.
They've never been to Onika's house. They wouldn't really know anything about her room. She's more of my friend than theirs.
"Where are you?" Megan asked, I ignored her trying to figure out what they were doing.
"Where are you?"
"My house..." she was being short with me. I knew exactly what was happening.
"Y'all going to another party?" Megan gave me a sad smile and nodded. Kelly popped her head In the camera trying to act like they weren't wrong.
"In our defense you already said you didn't wanna go like the other day."
"Todays a new day. What if suddenly I really wanted to party? What kind of friends are y'all." I joked rolling my eyes. They didn't answer clearly feeling bad.
I don't know I've gotten used to them sneaking around to party. I didn't wanna dwell on it too much, I don't wanna go anytime soon. As long as they still come over to hangout I'll be fine I guess.
"Bey where are you?" Kelly questioned this time, I didn't answer Onika was calling me.
I hung up answering her immediately. I missed my nika, i had to turn my camera off though. I didn't want her to see me laying comfortable in her bed. I was under all her covers and stuff.
She was laying down in bed too a smile on her face. I knew she was high, her eyes were all low and red.
"Beyy I know your in my room. My momma told me." Dang it.
I turned my camera on setting It up. This is just like old times except she's not here. Usually I'd read and she'd just listen to me or would scroll on her phone. When she just stared at me I knew this was exactly that.
"Bey your so pretty... like the prettiest girl I've ever seen. Not even pretty like, like, gorgeous, beautiful." I couldn't help but blush.
"Can you not? Thank you but I'm trying to read." She just giggled and apologized.
"Imma keep it a buck I miss you." I missed her too.
"I miss you too." I blushed dropping my head a bit. I listened as she loudly signed.
"Ughhh I hate coming up here and leaving you! I'd rather you be here. You should come, I'll book your flight."
"Onika please why would I do that? I don't think I'd survive a day in New York." She giggled but I was serious,It's too rough for me.
"You'd be fine. They know not to mess with me and mines." She was so cocky I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"You and yours?"
"Me and mines, you mines my heart." I rolled my eyes but turned off my camera. I was turning red and I didn't want her to see me.
"Where you went DONT make me beat you up." She sat up with a frown. She was such cute I blushed some more.
"Please your not scaring nobody."
"I'm not trying- yo bey imma call you back." She hung up immediately.
It made me really sad, what was worse is I waited around all day for a text or call back. She didn't even attempt to say anything. I was gonna text her first but ms.Carol told me to come eat. She made me feel way better but I couldn't stop thinking about Onika.
