{Rainbow in the MM}

This morning I woke up feeling extremely excited and happy. Today I am determined to talk to knucklehead. Every time I try something comes up or he's not there but today I know he'll be here. I know because I booked the studio time for him when he called.

After what Karlie told me what happened two weeks ago I have to get into a studio. I picked Karlie up from her house and I drove to the studio and we walked inside. When we got behind the desk Rainbow immediately put us to work. "Hey girls I'll be right back." Rainbow said walking away down the hallway. I looked on the desk and saw that she left her keys on the desk. "Karlie look she left her keys." I said.

"Nicole don't." She replied. "I have to Carli how else am I going to meet him." "He's not even here yet." She said. "I know I'm just going to leave him my flashdrive with my beats and lyrics that you sung and a note then I'll leave before Rainbow comes back." I replied. "Fine hurry up if Bow comes back I'll tell her your in the bathroom."

I grabbed the keys and my bag and went to studio 12H the studio knuck booked. I walked inside and sat down at the sound board. I was absolutely fascinated. I couldn't help myself so I played around and made a beat. I took out my flashdrive and started to write a quick note as the beat played on when the door opened. I turned around and saw knucklehead himself along with August Alsina.

"Who are you?" August asked. "Hey umm my name is Nicole..Nicole Cayer." I responded this was definitely not how I wanted to meet knucklehead.

"Oh your the other intern your friend told me about you." Knuck replied. "So how'd you get in here?" August asked. "Well ummm I..." "I had to drop something off and I told her to wait for me in here." I looked at the door and saw Jayda. "Yo you made this beat?" Knuck asked walking over to the sound board. "Yea I'm sorry I just couldn't help myself." I replied. "Nah ma its cool this beat is dope." August said. I turned and smiled at him and he returned the favor with one of his oh so sexy smiles. "Thank you." I responded.

"So umm we should get going." Jayda said. I grabbed my bag and was dragged out of the studio room by Jayda. "Omg you just saved my life thank you so much." I said as we walked down the hall. "No problem thats what friends do for eachother." She replied. I walked back behind the desk and sat the keys back where I found them. "Oh yea knuck and Aug are here." Karlie said. "Wow really thanks for the heads up." I replied sarcasticly with a laugh.

After we left the studio Me Jayda and Karlie all decided to go to Roscoe's. "Hey guys have yall seen my phone?" I asked searching my bag. "No do you know where you last had it?" Jayda asked. "Umm last place I know for sure is...omg." "what." Karlie asked. "I left my phone in the studio room." I explained.

"Well I can call August and if they're still in the studio maybe tell him to drop it off here." Jayda said. "Yes could you do that please." I said. After we ordered we started to eat. The little bell rung at the top of the door and I looked over and saw August and Knuck come in.

They came and walked to our booth and sat down. "Whats poppin." August said. I almost melted at the sound of his thick new orleans accent. "Hey." We all replied. "Here yo phone ma." He said handing me my phone. "Thank you." I took my phone blushing looking at it. I saw that my mom had texted me six times and called me twice. She wanted to know where I was so I replied telling her I was at Roscoe's.

"Nicole here you left this in the studio." Knuck said passing me my flashdrive. "Thank you I swear I leave this thing everywhere." I said reaching for it. "You should keep up with it better you got some dope beats on there." He replied. "He's right you got a real gift ma." August chimed in.

At that moment my heart stopped I couldn't believe I was sitting at the same table as knucklehead and August Alsina recieving compliments about my work. It was all going great and then my mom walked in. "Hey mom what are you doing here?" I asked surprised. My mom would never eat at a place like roscoe's she was way to high class unlike me cuz I loved it. "I need you to come home immediately." She said. "Ok what's wrong?" I asked as I stepped out of the booth. Without answering me she grabbed my hand and quickly left out to the parking lot.

We walked down two blocks because my mom was afraid to park her Lamborghini anywhere near there. As soon as my mom got in I hit her with questions. "Whats the emergency?" I asked. "Harvard sent you a scholarship opportunity packet and you need to get started on it now to insure its perfect." She answered. "What? Mom I told you I didn't want to go to Harvard." I relied angry.

"And I told you I'm not going to sit back and let you ruin your future." "Mom why are you doing this to me?" At this point I was on the verge of tears. I just don't see why she can't understand. "Who were those boys you were with?" She asked.

"My friends mom." I replied. "Nicole you know how I feel about boys." She said. "Mom its not even like that at all." "Well I don't want you hanging around them." She responded. "Why not?" I asked. "For one because I said so and two they look way to old for you to be around them and three boys are a distraction." She replied.

"No mom your a distraction they're trying to help me with my music." I yelled not realizing what I had said until it was to late. "You went to that studio." She said looking at me with eyes of pure anger. "Mom I had to I couldn't let this opportunity slip away from me." I said. "This is not an opportunity Nicole its a waste of time." She yelled.

"I don't want you around them anymore." She said. "Mom those guys in there one is a producer and the other is a celebrity and they both can see my gift so why can't you?" I asked. "End of discussion Nicole I don't want to hear anymore about this studio mess." She said. I got out of the car and just started walking. I couldnt be around my mom anymore right now. I could hear her calling for me from the car but I just kept walking.
