Ciara Wright
I was chilling at DD's room cause no one was at his house except us too, stretched out on the couch while he was scrolling through his phone. The room was quiet except for the low hum of music playing from his speaker. My phone buzzed in my hand, and I glanced down. Maria was on IG Live.
I almost scrolled past it, but then I saw the title.
"Big pressure. Some of y'all just talk too much."
Oh, so she talking about me?
I sat up real quick. "DD, look at this." I tilted my phone toward him. He squinted at the screen, then shook his head, laughing. "Ain't no way she on Live talkin' bout pressure. Maria? Pressure? Man, she a pebble."
I laughed but clicked into the Live. She was posted up, doing the most-fixing her hair, pouting her lips, acting like she wasn't watching the comments.
I smirked. This was perfect. I tapped on the chat.
"ADD ME."
A second passed. Then another.
She saw it. I know she did. The way her eyes flicked toward the comments and then away too fast? Yeah, she saw me.
The chat was going crazy.
Chat: "Oop, Ciara in here!"
Chat: "Maria, she said add her, wassup??"
Chat: "Lmaoo why you acting blind??"
Maria tilted her head, pretending she didn't see a thing.
"Y'all, stop spamming. I'm tryna talk," she said, flipping her hair. "Anyway, like I was saying, these girls be so obsessed. Watching my Live, keeping tabs on me. Like, girl, go outside or sum'."
I let out a loud laugh. DD looked over, grinning. "Oh nah, she wildin'."
"Yeah, aight," I typed. "Add me then."
Maria rolled her eyes, still ignoring the chat. But now? The comments were dragging her.
"NAH ADD HER THEN!"
"Why you scared?"
"Ciara outside, you inside playing cute."
DD sat up, looking at my phone. "Yo, she really duckin' you right now. This mad funny."
I shook my head, laughing. "She acting like she don't see me, but she real loud for somebody who don't wanna talk."
Then, Maria slipped up.
She glanced at the comments and mumbled, "I'm not scared of Ciara, fuck?."
DD and I both hollered.
I clapped my hands. "Ohhh, so now she saying my name?"
DD shook his head, biting back a smile. "She finna be real quiet when you pull up though."
Maria cleared her throat. "Anyway, next question. Cuz y'all weird."
The chat was eating her up.
Chat: "Yeah, change the subject cuz Ciara on your neck."
Chat: "She gon' have to see you in Florida fr."
Chat: "This why I screen record everything LMAO."
I leaned back, grinning. She could ignore me now. But real soon? We was gonna be in the same city.
She was gonna have to see me in person
10min later......
"I'm finna go to the stu," DD said, grabbing his phone.
