Me:  Can you pick me up too?

James: You decided to come?

Me: Yeah, can you pick me up ?

James: Sure thing, be there in ten.

Me: Okay, thanks.

James: No problem.

So maybe I was going to the after party to see Maria, so what. That doesn't matter.

Getting ready I decide to wear a black hoodie and jeans. Since I'm not really in the mood to go to a party I don't try all that hard, but then again my party outfits aren't that extravagant.

"Está bien mamá, voy a la fiesta. ¿Estarás bien mientras no esté?" I ask. (Okay mom, I'm going to the party. You'll be okay while I'm gone?)

"Yes, don't worry about me. Go have fun." She waves me off. The she stops me and asks, " You doing okay baby?"

Honest answer I don't know. I don't know why I'm not super pumped for this party, I mean we just won our first basketball game, so why was I so down?

"I'm good, mamá, just tired." She gives me a skeptical look as if she knew I was lying, but what would I even say if I don't know whats bothering me either. Maybe I am just tired.

"Okay, have fun. Text me if you need anything okay?" She comes up and hugs me.

"Okay, thank you mamá, I love you." I sigh into the crook of her neck, my moms pretty short so I have to bed down to hug her.

"I love you too, I'm so proud of you. You know that right."

"Yes mamá, thank you." I let go of her and start making my way to the door.

Once I get outside I wait for a couple minutes until I see James car pull up. He honks to get my attention, I stand up and make my way up to his car.

When I get in I notice someone's missing, " Where's Maria?" I inquire.

They both smirk at each other then look back to me, " We're picking her next, chill out, she'll be here, no need to freak out." James laughs at me.

"I wasn't freaking out." I grumble.

"Dude, what's up? You good?" James looks at me through the mirror.

I nod but he doesn't look fully convinced, but thankfully lets it go. For now at least. Knowing James he never lets anything go until he gets the answer to his question.

It's annoying as fuck but that's my best friend for you.

When we pull into Maria's driveway she comes out wearing a black skin tight dress that hugged her curves in the best way possible, and stopped mid thigh.

She looked gorgeous. Stunning. Breath taking. Words couldn't describe how beautiful she looks. I think my breath got caught in my throat.

When she gets into the car she's sitting by me, "Hey, bitch!" Mae exclaims.

"Hey, you look hot." Maria tells her.
