when i tell you i was stressing, i was stressing. usually picking an outfit out is easy for me but right now i didn't know if i should dress like a slut or homeless person.

i mean, it's a team get together, not a club party. but juju's gonna be there. "ugh i hate my life."

i paced around the room and rummaged through my closet until i settled on an outfit. i decided on a white bodysuit with low rise jeans. i wore a pair of old air forces and paired it with holes hoops and my northern star necklace i never take off.

i looked myself in the mirror and touched up the imperfections. the bodysuit showed just enough cleavage to wear it's noticeable but not too much. i did basic makeup up with my standard lip combo and mascara.

once i was completely dressed i texted otto for the address

dr octavious 👽

heyy otto
juju didn't tell me addy so can you send it??

i hearted the message and made my way to the apartment.

✵✵✵

once i made it to the apartment i walked up to her door ringing the door bell. as i waited, i could feel my anxiety rising with time. what if juju doesn't like my outfit, what if the team doesn't like me, what if im imposing like i thought earlier. 

what if-

"hey, miss london," my thoughts cutt off by india and her enthusiasm, "sorry for the wait." i waived her off and offered a bright smile. "it's no problem really, wasn't that long." she ushered me in and led me to the living room where the rest of the girls were watching an NBA game.

"y'all the blasian princess is here" otto screamed out. i turned and slapped her shoulder making her groan in pain.
"wait you're blasian?" Aaliyah asked, "yeah i am, my mom is from south korea."

"that's pretty cool, make yourself at home, im sure juju wouldn't mind." she said with a teasing tone. the mention of her name made me scan the room until i found her sitting on what looks to be a love seat.

she was already looking at me, her eyes never leaving my outfit. i guess i did pick the right thing. she was wearing her usual bun with a cut up white shirt and jean shorts. the lining of her boxers showing.

"yeah make yourself at home. you sit next to me if you want. we're just watching the game." she motioned to the seat next to her and i didn't heaitate at taking her offer. i sat in comfortable scilencr as i watched the girls argue over the game.

i felt a tap on my thigh and looked up to be met with jujus eyes on me. "you ok? you been quiet." i smiled at her concern but waived it off, "yeah im fine, im just naturally quiet i guess." she hummed never moving her hand off my thigh. the action sent butterflies to my stomach.

"im just an introvert i guess." she was about to respond when my phone started ringing. i looked down to see the contact 'denny 🤡' facetiming me. "who is denny" kendall asked, juju looking at me with curiosity.

i rolled my eyes, "my annoying ass brother" i answered the phone to see him eating a pop tart. "yo sis i need a favor."

"hello to you too denzel. what do you want im busy" he rolled his eyes before propping his phone up, looked like he was playing 2k per usual. "you think you can hook me up with some tickets to the women's basketball game, i know you the manager and stuff."

i groaned at his stupidity m, it's only been one day and he already think i have control over that stuff. "peep the sentence you just said. you are dumb as fuck always and forever." the girls all laughed at that, juju especially.

before i could react, she took my phone putting herself in the frame. "aye i gotchu man. i know they be selling out fast." denny froze, unable to speak. "YOU HANGING OUT WITH THEM RIGHT NOW! GIVE THE PHONE TO THAT KENNEDY GIRL SHE BAD AS FUCK." i snatched my phone and hung up before her could embarrass me even further.

i hid my face in my hands before juju put them back down. "wait i wanted to see him," kennedy said, "i wanted to see my bestie boos brother." i chuckled and shook my head, "no way, denny is literally so embarrassing. smart as hell and dumb as fuck at the same time."

✵✵✵

once the game finished, the girls started to head back to their dorms and apartments, i was starting to head out before i felt a familiar presence grab my wrist. "hey, i don't want you walk out there by yourself... it's too dark."

"you don't have to do that it's fi-"

"i'm going, end of discussion." that shut me right the fuck up. i'd rather her shut me up a different way. she opened her apartment door for me and we both left.

once we reached my car i turned to her, "thank you for inviting me. i such a great time." she smiled looking down at me. i took the moment to admire her eyes, they're a beautiful hazel brown color that looked golden when the light hit them just right.

"i'm really glad you came. india told me you needed my address, why didn't you just ask me?"

"i mean, i don't have your number and i didn't know if you had insta notifications on." i said with a shrug. in an instant she took out her phone and handed it to me. "yeah i know. i just needed an excuse to ask for your number." i laughed at that feeling bold.

"is this your way of flirting with me or something like that?" she chuckled a stepping slightly closer to me looking down at her phone, "something like that." i blushed at her statement not expecting that answer. i quickly put in my number and saved my contact as 'salim 🧸' and handed her phone back.

"thanks, i'll text you okay. be safe on your way back." i nodded in response and gave her a quick hug goodbye. i got in my car and she watched me drive off, a smile never leaving my face.

one day in and im already down bad
