As mentioned, Aaliyah is one of my bestest friends ever and she's also been my best friend for the longest. She's a very sweet and funny soul. She's a bit shorter than me, dark-skin, curly red hair, and a petite shape.
Since our senior year, Aaliyah and I been in this shit business together. Four long years of money, tears, and laughs going into our hair, nails and lashes business. We sell the hair under my brand but I do lashes/eyebrows and she does nails. We rent a suite in a very nice part of Los Angeles, about 30 minutes from KimRidge. Better area equals more new and regular clients! Everyday we're getting better and better, she's one of my ride or dies for a reason.

Naomi: And, you? What are you looking at?
Mercedes: Want me to be honest? That pretty ass face. One of a kind.
She started smiling, she tried to hide it but I knew it was real. Her smile was nice too. I knew this face from somewhere but I couldn't for real put my finger on it..
Naomi: Average nigga flirting starter pack, not for it. Aaliyah, let's go.
I couldn't even be mad at her. Keed and I started dying in the back of that store as we watched Naomi drag Aaliyah out the store.
Keed: Yo cuz, of all things? One of a kind? Nahhh.
Mercedes: Aye man, I wasn't lying.

He started grinning as a bit into his sandwich.
