DESTINED

Chapter 1

Onika's POV

"Okay everybody let's run it back so we can leave, I have things to do." I said sarcastically to my class.

"You mean see your man Ms. Miraj?" One of my students sassily said.

"For your information, I'm going to see my best friend we're planning her wedding."

My best friend Ari is getting married in 2 months. I honestly can't fathom this, we've been friends as long as I can remember and now she's engaged. I'm extremely happy but jealous at the same time, my boyfriend of 5 years, meek, won't even kiss me anymore. I'm giving him a grace period because I can't do this anymore. I pull myself out of my thoughts so the kids can re-do the choreography so I can go.

"And that's it for today, good job guys, don't forget to tell your parents about the recital on September 20th at 6 pm!" I inform them.

"Bye Ms. Maraj!" The kids say in unison. "Bye guys" I reply in a soft voice.

As I'm gather my things, a notification from a random number texts me.

(***)***-****: "Hello is this Onika Maraj?"

I star at the number in confusion trying to figure out if I recognize the number.

: Uh who's asking?

(***)-***-****: This is Parkwood Entertainment, our team has reviewed your Instagram profile and think that you would be a great addition to Beyoncés new tour coming up.

Gasping as I finished reading the sentence, eyes bulge out of my sockets. I'm not sure if this is real, so I'm gonna ask for more information.

: Can you give me her number so I can speak to her directly?

Parkwood(maybe): That's no problem! ***-***-****

: Thank you so much have a good day!

Parkwood(maybe): You're welcome!

I'm going to text her later on I'm running late, Ari and I have a lot to work on today.

I text Ari to let her know I'm pulling up to her house.

: I'm outside boo
Aripooh ✨💋: I'm coming babeee

I look up from my phone to see her skip happily to my car. I smile as I opened my to give my babygirl a hug.

As we embrace she whispers in my ear "I missed you so much." I chuckle before responding. "Girl I just saw you last week." "I know but this is so exciting, I look forward to seeing you every week for this." She said. I coo while pulling out of the hug, smiling at her.

We laugh softly before going inside her home.

Pouring me a glass of wine I ask "Where did we stop at last time?"

She hums quietly.

"We ordered the tables and chairs so now we have to get the decorations and the bakers." She proclaimed.

We finished up earlier than expected so we're just chilling watching a shitty movie on Netflix.

In the middle of the movie I remember about the Beyoncé situation.

I look at Ari ,biting my bottom lip subtly, trying to decide if I should ask for her advice.

I finally muster up the courage to ask her advice. "So.. this random number texted me today,"

She pauses the movie to have all of her attention on me.

"And they said that they were from Parkwood Entertainment," she whipped her head forward in shock as I said that.

"I know right, they were saying that they've been looking at my insta page and watching all of my videos and wanted me to choreograph her new fuckin tour!" I screeched.

"What! No. Fucking. Way. Nicki.... What did you say sis?" She asks in awe.

"Girl I told them I wanted her number so I can see if it's like real, people be doing weird shit nowadays" I jokingly say.

She looked around asking "Well what did you text her?"

"I didn't say anything yet, I was going to wait until I got home so it doesn't look like I'm eager" I reply smirking.

"If I were you I would hop right the fuck on that! You better accept it or you're not my best friend anymore." She says rolling her eyes.

I laugh shortly. "I will accept it just letting it marinate for a minute."

We both laugh at my joke.

I checked the time and it's already 10 o'clock at night. We finished up the movie and I announced that I'm leaving.

"Ugh. We seriously don't spend time together." She groaned.

I chuckled slightly "Bitch please that's your fault Ms. Fiancé!"

"I have to go now, I'll let you know about the whole Beyoncé thing."

She lights up "Oh yeah go, bye see you next week honey"

I pull her into a hug "See ya boo."

I pull away from her and wave while I jogged to my car.

She waited until I pulled out to go back into her house.

Now I just have to text Beyoncé to see if this is real.
