Imani ended the FaceTime call, her heart still racing. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to change—something big. She tossed her phone on the bed and lay back, staring up at her ceiling, replaying the look in Dd's eyes. Why did he have to go and say all that? And why did she let him?
Her phone buzzed again. This time, it was Lena.
Lenaa 💕: yo did u see amaras story?
Imani groaned. "Here we go," she muttered, pulling up Amara's Instagram. Her stomach twisted at the sight of the post, the one with that old photo of Amara and Dd. She scanned the caption, feeling a wave of irritation she didn't understand.
Imanii 🤍: I don't even care fr . She can keep playing her lil games .
But even as she typed, she couldn't ignore the faint sting of jealousy. It wasn't like she had any feelings for Dd, right? He was just... fun to annoy.

Dd was scrolling through his feed when he came across Amara's story. He clenched his jaw, annoyed but not surprised. It was just like her to stir up drama. But seeing that old picture, knowing she'd posted it right after their breakup, irritated him more than he wanted to admit.
A message from Ddot came through.

Dd shook his head, feeling the urge to set the record straight but knowing it would only add fuel to the fire. He thought about texting Imani, explaining the situation just in case she saw the post, but something held him back. She didn't need to know, and he didn't owe her an explanation. Still, he couldn't ignore the thought that maybe, just maybe, he wanted her to know.

Imani couldn't focus on anything but that post. She was scrolling through TikTok aimlessly, her mind stuck on David's face in that photo, how close he and Amara looked. It annoyed her more than she wanted to admit.
Her phone buzzed again, and she glanced at it, seeing a text from David.

Dd 😒: yooo u good?
She rolled her eyes, but her fingers hovered over the keyboard. After a moment, she replied.
Mani 😾: why wouldn't I be ?
Dd 😒: jus checkin thought maybe you saw that post
Imani bit her lip. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction of thinking she cared, but her curiosity got the best of her.
Mani 😾: nd why would I care about tht ? 😂
Dd 😒: idk jus figured you'd have smth to say u always do .🌚
Imani stared at his message, debating her next move. Part of her wanted to clap back, make some sarcastic comment, but another part of her felt like letting her guard down, just a little.
Mani 😾: u think I'm js sitting here worried about who ur with?
Dd 😒: Nahhh 😂 but u know amara playin games dont let ha get in ur head
Imani scoffed, but something softened in her expression. She didn't know why, but hearing that made her feel... better.
Mani 😾: wtv I'm not that pressed but u shld probably handle ur mess before it blows up more
Dd 😒: already did. now I'm just makin sure you're good.

Imani hesitated, feeling her heart flutter. She didn't know how to respond, so she just left him on read, tossing her phone aside and trying to ignore the smile tugging at her lips.

Amara was scrolling through the comments on her post, a self-satisfied grin on her face. People were already talking, speculating, and that was exactly what she wanted. She wanted to make sure Imani knew Dd was still hers, or at least, that he wasn't with her.
But then, as she refreshed the comments, she saw a new one from @Sugarhilllddot: "Stop cappin. Y'all done, move on lol 😂 ."
Her eyes widened, her blood boiling as she realized her plan was backfiring. She quickly deleted his comment, fuming as she texted one of her friends.
Amara: can't believe he tryna embarrass me like that. I got sum for him .😂
