DESIREE
Welp today is Homecoming. I'm still going even tho I ain't got no dress #noshame. Hopefully nothing goes wrong tonight.
" Come help me curl my weave! " Miranda yells.
I ain't even finna argue with her. I'm just gonna help and not say anything. This slick feel like she getting ready for a wedding or some.
____________
She is finally ready. It took 2 1/2 hours, and the outcome is worth it. Ty need to hurry his lightskin brightskin self up. It's already 7:15 and we told him to be here at 7:00.
" What if Ty doesn't come? What if the limo broke down? What if he is taking another girl instead of me? " Miranda says pacing back and forth.
" Bruh don't sweat that makeup off, and stop worrying he coming. " I say trying to brighten up the mood.
If he's not here by 7:30, imma have to drive her there. We done spent to much time for her to not go at all.
- knock knock -
" Who is it? " Miranda yells.
" Deshawn. "
JAYLEN
I didn't tell anyone, but I'm going to Homecoming. I was asked by a sophomore. His name ' no name ' as of right now.
I chose a kelly green ( & yea that's a color. ) dress and heels to match. My date has a white tux with the corresponding green under the jacket to match.
We are already on the way there, and its been quite the whole ride. He has been on his phone since we got in the limo.
" So nice weather today.. " I say breaking the ice.
" Yep.. Feels great. " he says not looking up.
This niggggggggga. I should've said no. I would've been better off staying home staring at the wall.

We are finally here. Silent rides make the drive seem longer than it really is frfr.
" So I get out and open the door for you right? " he asks. This nigga..
" That would be the gentleman thing to do. " I say rolling my eyes.
He gets out without saying anything back to me. He just makes his way around the limo, and finally opens the door.
I step out and he takes my hand. This nigga palms are too sweaty. Fantastic Homecoming date Jaylen. Just fantastic.
MIRANDA
Why the hello-goodbye is Deshawn at my house?? Desiree ain't talked or heard from him since that phone incident. Jayveon was too mad at him.
" Seems its a nobody at the doooor. " I say.
" Um.. I can hear you. " Deshawn says behind the door.
" It was meant for you to hear turd burglar. "
" Jesus take the wheel. " Desiree says laughing getting up to open the door.
She opens the door and Deshawn just stares at her. Overwhelmed, she just stares at him back. Well these two just love stare games.
" Is you gone come in or just stare into Desiree's soul? " I say ending the game.
" I'll come in. " he says brushing past her.
He sits on the one end of the couch while I'm on the other aide, and Desiree just sits in the middle.
" Miranda can I talk to Desiree alone? " he asks while sitting down.
" Of course not. You thought. " I say.
" Well I tried. Desiree can I talk with you? " he asks her.
" I don't mind. "
Here it comes. I bet the first statement gone be bout her and his brother. Speaking of him, I'm surprised he ain't called Dezzy yet.
" So.. are you happy with Jayveon. " WHAT I SAID MAN.
" Wym? Happy has a lot of definitions Shawn.. "
" Barely, but wow.. you haven't called me Shawn since our 8th grade year. "
" It's your fault nigga. Shouldn't have did what ya did. You're welcome Dezzy. " I say interrupting. He rolls his eyes at me.
" Explain to me what you did and saw that year. " she says to him.
" Well first, that summer I got into a relationship with a girl. Then, school started back, and I found out me & you had a class together. Then, I slowly but surely fell for you, and it wasn't hard cause we were close. Next, you caught feelings back, and that made things awkward, cause all we were doing was smiling at each other. Lastly, you found out I had a girlfriend, and threw me away like trash. " he says looking down after saying that last part.
" Everything was accurate up until that last part. "
" What happened then Dezzy? " I ask being nosey.
" I fou-- "
- knock knock -
I hop up and open the door without even asking who it is. Soon as I see his face I hug him, and then punch him in the arm.
" That's for being late. "
" It won't happen again. " he says pecking my cheek. I'd be lying if I said my cheek wasn't on fire right now.
" I guess we'll finish this conversation later. " Desiree says standing up.

DESIREE
We finally inside the building for Homecoming. The folks outside was tripping talking bout I need a dress to enter. I see I'm in here tho.
Man it's deeeeeeeep. I didn't think this many people was gone come. Speaking of coming why did Deshawn just decide to tag along anyway 😐. I ain't even finna worry about it.
Miranda & Ty head to dance floor, while me & Deshawn stay on the wall. I know one of his lil thots in here for him to go bother instead of him being in my shadow.
When your legs don't work like they use to before..
Is that Thinking Out Loud?? Oh yay. I should've knew they was gone play feels music tho.
I glance over at Deshawn, and he is already looking at me. His eyes are reflecting the little light that's in here. Then he got a smirk on his face. It's slickkkkkkkkkkk sexy.
Kiss me under the light of a thousand staaaars..
Just as that line finishes I feel a pair of lips on mine.
👀👀 Did she pull back or keep going? Hmm.
