My name is Tamaya. I am the daughter of Lanae and Andre Mason. I have an older sister named Jayla. We are super close and she is my best friend in the whole world. Jayla is an actress. She travels a lot for work but she and I still talk. I also have a younger sister Sasha. Sasha and I aren't as close because there is a bit of an age gap. Even though my sister is 20 she has made a name for herself. She has always had a thing for fashion. She has been a model almost her whole life and now she owns her own fashion line. My younger brother and I are somewhat close. His passion is basketball. He's still in college but he's already starting to get offers for the NBA. So as you can see my family is full of people who are very well known. Now on to me.Ever since I was a little girl there was nothing I wanted more than to be a singer. I would sing everywhere, in my room, in the shower, in my car etc. My mom and my dad are music producers and so when they found out I could sing they were over the moon about it. My parents put me in singing lessons and they also put me in every dance class they could possibly think of. When I turned 16 my parents started molding me into a superstar. They controlled everything about my life. They controlled what I ate, when I went to sleep, when I went to bed, when I ate, who I hung out with and so much more. When I turned 21 my parents told me I was ready for the big time. I was so excited to become a solo artist but my dream was crushed when they brought me into their studio to meet 3 other girls. My parents told me that I wasn't good enough to be a solo act, and that's how Black Magic was formed.
"5,6,7,8" my mom counted. The music started playing, and Dejah started off the song strong. Imani came in with the backup vocals. Imani and Tiana came in strong after Dejah, while I'm leading in the dance moves. The chorus comes around and we all sing together and dance.
"STOP!" I hear my mother start. We immediately stop singing and dancing. "What's the problem boss?" Dejah asked. "Tamaya you are off beat and off key" my mother says. "I didn't think I was," I say. "Well you totally are" my mother says in a mocking tone. "Boss I don't think Tamaya was off anything she is one of the strongest in the group she is always on point" Dejah says. Tiana and imani nod. My mother smiles and then frowns. "Who is the boss here?" my mother asks. "You are." we all answer. "And who has their own music empire?" my mother asks. "You do" we all answer. "So who do you think is right? Me the queen of this empire or you the ones who don't have enough training to even stand on your own" my mother snaps. We all put our heads down. "That's what I thought, now take 5 and be back here ready to be perfect!" my mother says and walks off.
"Why do we put up with her again?" Tiana asks. Imani laughs. "Cuz she the one who is getting our bills paid," Imani laughs. I walk over to my bag that's sitting on the side and grab my phone. "Girl you know you were doing just fine you know that right?" Dejah says as she comes up to me. "Yeah i know" i say. "Don't worry, I'm use to her being like that towards me" I add. Dejah nods. I turn my phone on and check my instagram. I gasp loudly when I look at my notifications. Dejah looks at me. "Girl what is wrong with you?" Dejah asks. "Sebastian Stan just liked commented on my post and followed me!" I practically shriek. "OH MY GOD WHAT?! LEMME SEE!" Dejah shouts and snatches my phone. Tiana and Imani come over to see what we were yelling about. "Ooooooo girl not your celebrity crush all up on your profile" Tiana says when she sees what Dejah was looking at. "What post did he like and comment on" Imani asks. Dejah turns the phone around to show Imani.
"Ooop girl I see you" Imani says. I giggle. "What did he say?" Imani asks. "Oh hol up" Dejah says. She goes to the comments. "He said and I quote beautiful mirror selfie, we should take one together sometime" Dejah says. Tiana, Imani and Dejah squeal and laugh. "Girl what are you gonna say back?" Tiana asks me. "Ugh I don't know. Yall know I don't like replying to comments" I say. "But this is THE Sebastian Stan! If you don't say something imma do it for you" Dejah says. I snatch my phone back. "I'm a grown ass woman I can handle this myself. Thank you" I say. All three girls give me a look and walk away. I smile to myself as I look down at my phone. I click on Sebastian's profile and message him.
T: Hey, I saw your comment. A selfie with you would be a dream
I send the message. My mother comes back into the room with my father. "Line up girls and hurry up! We aren't leaving here until this is perfect" my mother says. I put my phone down and run over. What I didn't know is that I got a text on instagram when I had put my phone down.
S: Bet! Name the time and place
