Just Friends

Chapter XXXII: Confrontation

Mayari Sekani Thompson

I need to find a better looking outfit this doesn't give club.

I think I need to see what my momma has in her closet. She really only wears scrubs like even when she's not at work. I try to convince her to actually put something cute on but she says, "I'm too old for all that." And then i'm just holding up a plain shirt and some jeans.

My phone starts ringing loudly might I add. I run back to my room and find it sitting on my bathroom counter. One of my loud friends starts screaming the minute I answer.

"Heyyyy May May. Sexyyyyy. Are you like almost ready? I'm already on my way as you can seeee so I don't care. And you need to take a shot immediately upon my arrival." Aoi says showing me the large crown royal bottle and driving recklessly. I knew I should've had Tj pick me up.

"Oops would you look at that. I almost hit that car girl my dad would've been pissedddd." She says laughing.

"Um how many shots have you had Aoi?"

"Just two and a half." She says smiling wide whatever the fuck the half means.

"You took so long to actually answer i'm already here girl. Let's gooo cuz i'm feeling like i'm running and I feel like I gotta get away get awa-"

Did I hang up on her? Yes. Am I about to hear it from her? Yes.

I open the door and she walks in with a sad face and hugging the bottle.

"Hanging up on me was rude. And if you're wearing that then I wanna change my outfit is to out going then."

"Nooo i'm not wearing this. Help me find something cute."

After an hour and a half of finding an outfit, fixing my hair, and doing my makeup. We are finally ready to go.

"Baddie baddie shot a clockkkk." We both laugh I take my shot and we head out the door. I lock it and text my mom telling her i'm leaving. And make sure my location is on.

"Tell Tj we on the way." I nod getting into the car. And as i'm putting on a little more lip gloss Tj is facetiming me. "Hi are you on the way? Is Lyssa with you?" I ask not even letting it fully connect.

"Yes and yes. You must be too because you're in the car."

"Aww look at you learning what context clues are." Aoi laughs and so does Alyssa I hear her in the background.

"Why you laughing at her dumbass joke Alyssa. I ACTUALLY learned that LAST year for your information so boo bitch." He says rolling his eyes and hanging up.

"The slowest of them all." I say laughing at him. I hope he's joking tho, you can never really tell with Tj.

"Nah i'd say the twins are probably the slowest. Especially when they are in the same room. I think I start to get dumber just being around them. But do you know who else is going? They said it's finna be packed out because the rapper that's gonna be there."

"Ummm besides the usual, Tj, Alyssa, Jaylen, Jamor, you and me. That's all the people I know to be honest."

"Ooohhh. Is Messiah coming? Have y'all talked recently?" No we haven't talked and frankly nobody is slick. Alyssa is the same with the sly little questions trying to see if we are on good terms. I know everybody thought we were dating already or would soon date but i'm not interested in being lead on. So nope. Haven't talked. Don't care too.

"No I don't know and we haven't talked in weeks. Really since around the time I was kidnapped. After that we haven't even made eyes contact for more than five minutes and that's IF we are around each other. But Kamron is coming. So hopefully if Siah does show up it'll be no drama."
