I woke up and texted Emily.

Mahlia: u can come over to do my hair and shit

Emily: okay I'll be over

I put my phone back on my nightstand and walked into my bathroom. I turn on the shower and undress. I get in and quickly wash my hair and body.

Once I finish I get out and wrap a towel around me. I walk back into my room and pick out a black nike sports bra, leggings and one of jacks hoodies I stole.

The door bell starts ringing and I sigh knowing its Emily. I jog downstairs and open the door.

"Damn nigga chill." I say as she enters my house.

"Okay, let's do your makeup first." She says as we walk upstairs.

"I'm nervous." I say.

"Why?" She asks as we get into my bathroom am so sit on a stool.

"What if he doesn't like my dress." I say.

"This is homecoming, not your wedding, he'll love it." She says while chuckling. I sigh.

"I know but-" she cuts me off.

"Shut up and let me do your makeup." She says. I sigh and sit down. She grabs my makeup and hands me my eyes brow stuff.

"You do your eyebrows, I don't want to mess them up." She says. I nod and take them from her. I start with my left and then do my right.

"Teach me how to do eye brows." She says. I chuckle and she does the rest of my makeup.

I look at the time, it's 1 and homecoming starts at 5:30.

"I have to get dressed and you have to do my hair." I say, getting nervous that we weren't going to have time.

"Mahlia, calm down, you're going to have time." She says. I nod, hoping she's correct.

It's now four and I'm all dressed and ready to go. I thought we weren't going to finish anything but, we did and she made me look great.

She handed me my head piece, which made me look better than I already did.

"You look beautiful." She says. I give her a hug and put my heels on.

"Pictures re at your house." I say. She nods.

"My mom was cleaning last night and this morning." She says with a chuckle. I give her a small smile and put on some bracelets. We walk downstairs and I grab the corsage [idk the one the guys wear]

"Okay, I'm ready." I say. She grabs her keys and we walk out of my house and get into her car.

"I might fuck it up at homecoming, like if Beyoncé comes on, all hell might break loose and I might kill all those ratchet hoes." I say while laughing. Emily joins in with me laughing and I plug my phone in and start playing 'her way' by PND [highkey fav song]

We pull up to Emily's house and her mom is outside waiting for us. I get out and she runs over to me.

"Oh mahlia, you're so beautiful." She says while stepping back and looking at me. I smile.

"Come inside." Emily hands me the flower thing and we walk inside. I see Sam sitting at the table and he looks nice.

"Aw, Sam!" He looks up from his phone and smiles.

"Take a picture of us." Sam says, handing Emily his phone. We take one where his arm is around me and the we do season [an OVO thing]

"Post them with the caption 'pimp squad'." I say and he laughs.

"Jacks gonna see your dress." Emily says. I shrug.

"Oh well, everyone at school needs to see it." I say and she shakes her head and chuckles.

"Sam, what time is it?" He looks at his watch.

"4:15, people are going to show up like now." He says and someone knocks on the door. Lori goes and opens it and I hear people. Johnson walks in the room with his date, I think her name is Mallory.

"Aw, mahlia, you look so pretty." H essays and I give him a hug. Emily takes a picture of us and he kisses my left cheek while Sam kisses my right cheek.

"Where's Jack?" I ask Johnson.

"He'll be here, don't worry." I nod and greet jacks mom and dad.

Jacks pov

"Mom, we're going to be late." I groan. She's taking pre-homecoming pictures.

"Okay, let's go." She grabs her purse and puts the camera in. We leave and I get in the car and we drive to Sam's house.

"Mom, I think we're late." I say. I'm hoping that mahlia isn't sitting there without a date and someone else's date isn't there.

I get out and jog up to the door. I open it and hear laughing. I follow the laughter and see people crowded around a chair.

"What's going on?" I ask. Someone stands up and looks up, it's mahlia. She looks beautiful. She walks over to me and gives me a hug.

"You look beautiful." I say to her, I don't care if I sound soft [lmao] she really does.

"I need to talk to you." She mumbles.

"Okay." We walk out of the room and go somewhere else.

"I hate all of those people, not Sam and Johnson." She says.

"What happened?" I ask her. She sighs.

"Just because you weren't there, Kayla and those ugly bitches started saying he bailed or I didn't get asked but everyone saw me get asked." She says while rolling her eyes.

"Babe, don't worry, they're made because I asked you." I say. She smiles and I kiss her and we walk out hand in hand.

Mahlia's pov

Homecoming wasn't that bad, the music sucked but it wasn't entirely horrible.

"We can stay at my house, you can borrow clothes from Emily." Sam says to me. I nod and we drive to his house.

"Did you have fun?" Jack asks me. I shrug.

"The music sucked." I say.

"I know, it was trash." Johnson said. We all nodded in agreement.

They played iggy, I was done after that.

"When they played igloo Australia, my night was messed up." Nate says and I laugh.

"Where's Kevin?" I ask.

"He left with John, they're getting pizza, we should go." Sam says.

"Yeah, let's go." We take a left and we're at the pizza place. We get out and Johnson and Jack help me out because I'm the queen, just kidding because I'm in heels and a nice dress.

"Thanks kids." I say and walk away and link arms with Nate and Sam. Nate opens the door and holds it open as I walk in. He lets go as Sam try's to walk through.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Sam asks Nate.

"Dude, I smoke a lot." Nate says. Sam shrugs and I wait for Jack and Jack to come in.

The walk in and Jack grabs my hand and we walk to Kevin and johns table.

"What's up k-dot." He stands up and we do our hand shake.

"Homecoming was terrible, the only okay song was uptown funk." He says and I nod.

We all slide in the booth and eat some pizza.
