SUMMER

•Chapter 4•

Monday
Selena's POV

Before I knew it. I was right back at Covergirls. I had to catch a Lyft to work because Lexi called off sick for a few days. I hated when I was in the club alone cause she was my only friend here. I just knew these few days was gonna go by slow. 

I walked in the dressing room to change my clothes for my bartending shift. All eyes were on me and I was confused as to why.

Remy, the bitch I didn't like the most tapped me on my shoulder.
"I guess you ain't heard lil mama?"

Her voice was so squeaky and annoying. 

"Heard what?"

"Mister Ray want you to cover for Sugar. She gon be out a few days and we short on dancers." Remy popped her gum and ranted on.

"Cover for Sugar as in dance?" I asked confused.

"Duh bitch." She rolled her eyes and some of the girls started to laugh.

I didn't want to dance. I was scared.

"You need to come up with a stage name. Everybody don't need to know yo real identity. These niggas crazy." She informed me.

"I can't think of anything right now." I told her.

Remy smacked her teeth, "Well ima need you to figure that out. She normally hit the stage at 10."

It was going on 9:30 and I began to feel super anxious.
"Who's covering the bar then?"

She waved me off, "Girl don't worry about that. You need to focus on a name. I'm up next, see you soon lil mama."

Shit. I honestly knew this day would come but I didn't think it would so soon. I felt like I was betraying Lex.

When Remy was done with her routine, it was my turn. Thank god I smoked before I got here otherwise I'd completely back out and probably quit. I couldn't figure out why they decided to tell me at the last minute but I changed out of my outfit into one of Lexi's that she kept in the locker her and I shared.

I checked myself out in the mirror and I thought I looked pretty good actually, but my nerves were so bad. Here goes nothing.

"Did you come up with a name?" The Dj asked me.

I stood there looking out at the people behind the curtain that were waiting on me, I was so damn nervous.

"C'mon girl we ain't got all night-"

"Summer." I blurted. Why did I choose that name? I don't know.

He looked me up and down and licked his lips, "Summer? I like it. Aight, I got the perfect song for you. Shake the nerves, I can see it in yo face."

Dj Milo quickly took his spot at the booth and began to announce my arrival.
"We got a new hottie for y'all tonight. She's bad as fuck so ima need all y'all to stand the fuck up and throw all the motherfuckin cash her way! Give it up for...SUMMERRR!"
