"Dad, mom , I got asked to prom." Marli exclaimed.
"Oh my goodness!! That's great sweetie! Who is it?" Milani exclaimed, hugging her.
"Well what's crazy is, multiple guys were supposed to ask me, but he got to me first-."
"Oh whoa, to hear that." I said in shock. I wasn't ready for all this. We made it this far without her talking about boys. Around the time she turned 10 it was no boy she was interested in to bring boyfriends up. She's maybe living a teenage secret life, but I wasn't ready for prom or hearing multiple guys are preying on her.
She playfully rolled her eyes and continued,"His name is Jahsai, he's a senior."
"A senior?!" I exclaimed.
"Dad it's not like I'm a freshman, I'm a junior, age gap isn't big at all, one year older."
"This is crazy talk, I'm not ready." I said.
"Ok anyways, I'm excited for you, you got pictures?" Milani said as they continued the conversation together. "How did he propose ?" She added.
Marli went through her phone as she said,"Yea, he's on the football team. "
"Damn! Damn! damn!" I exclaimed, they shot looks at me like disgusted teenage girls.
"Uh I was talking about the tv show, uh they killed off my favorite character ." I said looking at the tv. They went back to what they were doing.
"Roses and a cake that said Prom" she continued.
"Aww , Mars he's a cutie and that's sweet. How yal met?"
"He had football practice while I was in cheer practice. I forgot to bring water one day and he gave me his, so everytime he sees me he'll ask me if I got water. And we built friendship off that."
"Maybe we should invite him over, get to meet him." Milani said.
"Let me see this dude." I said.
Marli showed me a picture of him and said,"Mars this boy got more tattoos than me! I don't know. He looks like trouble."
"Dad you can't judge a book by its cover."
"Yea, so let's meet him, invite him out for dinner, we'll go out to eat." Milani said.
"Ok cool."

I ran up to my room, happy that went well, other than daddy being overprotective.
I texted Jahsai, to see if he was cool with it and he was cool with it . Then I called Ryleigh and Ahmir on FaceTime.
"Why do you think he asked you to prom?" Ahmir asked.
"I don't know, cause I'm cute. This not Carrie."
"He wasn't the only one tho, like 3 more guys was gonna ask her. She went with the first guy that asked. Jonathan was gonna ask you." Ryleigh said.
"See no, Jonathan, I know for sure he's just trying to fuck me, he's such a hoe."
"You don't think Jahsai is like that?" Ahmir asked.
"I hope not, I actually like him and he don't seem too pressed to get a girl to fuck."
"Them be the niggas that be fucking, they not pressed about it, cause they can get it at ease." Ahmir said.
"Ouu Ahmir you're putting me on game for real." I sarcastically said as Ryleigh giggled.
"Ok Mars." He replied. We all stayed on the phone talking until we fell asleep.
