great! just great. the universe is laughing in my face. probably rubbing its hands together whilst thinking to itself "wait till she sees this."

i did not just personify the universe. i rolled my eyes to myself as i turned around to turn my full attention on normani and her team as they chatted excitedly. we just finished recording a song together and she invited me to see her perform at coachella. 

normani and i have been hanging out all day and i've known her through my social butterfly friend solána and i have grown to like her. normani was so chill and we were just talking about our plans for the next month so we can figure out when to hang out.

"okay i may be free on the 5th, let me double check on my calendar." she mumbles as she opens her phone. i couldn't help but feel my eyes wander without permission. it fixated on the relaxed brown haired girl on the other side of the room. 

dani was looking effortlessly tomboyish and chic as always. her fashion sense suited her perfectly as she always wore a blend of streetwear whilst adding on her own vintage touches. tonight she was wearing a black leather jacket which was slightly oversized, but it draping comfortably on her frame over a fitted vintage band t-shirt that matched well with her loose grey cargo pants. around her neck hung a simple silver chain, and on her fingers, she wore a couple of rings – one a chunky silver band, the other a thin, intricately designed piece. her tattooed wrists are adorned with a few leather bracelets. her hair was tied neatly back into a ponytail, her gentle monster sunglasses resting on top of her head. 

i always loved her fashion sense, for someone who claims they aren't interested in fashion, knew how to put a fit together. if we were friends i would have asked her where she got that jacket from.

when i saw her face turn slightly to my direction i quickly turned my face to face forward. 

the night went on slowly, i was mostly being polite and staying as a normani's plus one. the party was filled with a bunch of executives who didn't possess a single musical bone in their body and simply wanted profit, profit and more profit off the backs of us artists. i couldn't stand the vibe of the party, could i even call this a party?

"you seem tense, you alright darling?" normani whispered as she peered at me through her bangs with curious eyes.

"i was going to say yes, but honestly not really. my ex is at this party and its becoming annoying how many times we're bumping into one another." i huffed, crossing my arms close to my chest.

"urg, this is exactly why i don't date artists, because all of a sudden when you're trying to avoid someone, they appear everywhere right." i opened my eyes in surprise as she perfectly explained my situation. 

"right."

"hold on skai, my manager is calling me to say hello to some people, be right back." normani holds a finger up and places her empty glass behind me. i sigh when she disappears into the crowd.
