"Lani this isn't just about you." My mother stressed following me.

"This is my last season I need to focus on my career." I said crossing my arms.

"So who's going to have a voice for people like you?" She said in a whining voice.

I looked at her in disbelief,this was a classic example of manipulation.  My mother a size three  who resembles Megan good and Paula Patton stood in front of me to tell me how to represent people of my size. A size might I add she's tried to change multiple times.

"You know what I mean it would meant the world to people your size to win the title of miss USA." She said grabbing her clipboard.

"It was nice seeing you mother but I have a miss California obligation." I said dismissing her.

"Oh great I have to plan your brother's engagement party anyway remember to smile widely talk about your druggie cousin and how you overcame that they love a sob story." She said as I opened the door.

She quickly excited with a bounce in her step causing me to roll my eyes. Just as cruella left my ghetto fairy godmother arrived.

"I'm finna do my girl's hair and makeup for this shoot I'll call you back about selling a couple jars." She said yelling in her phone  struggling to take out her suitcases from her trunk.

Stacy's my girl she's been my friend for about ten years she's bomb with hair and makeup but ever since she's got with her boyfriend Ty she dealt drugs on the side.

"Stace!" I yelled excitedly hugging her.

"Wassup girl you ready to find you a man?" She smirked hugging me back.

"Please this is just a promo video." I said tightening my robe.

"This dude I'm talkin to real close with these AMP guys they coo." She said plugging in her flat iron.

"Oh so the shaderoom was right you and Choppa is dating?" I smirked sipping my Powerade.

"I wouldn't say that I supply weed for Bryson we flirt a little but I'm still seeing Ty." She said sighing taking out her cape.

I sat down as she clipped the cape around my neck.

"So what's today's shoot?" She asked parting my hair.

"Kai Cenat is hosting a promo for Miss USA." I said sighing.

"Oh Bryson be hanging out with Kai and his crew they coo people from what I'm told." Stacy said straightening my hair.

"They said it'll help get younger viewers to watch the competition I feel like it's a waste of time." I said shrugging.

"Lani I grabbed the sparkliest dress I could find for the stream." My friend and stylist Jay said walking in with a dress bag.
