Status *Re-written*

Chapter 16

CDs made, check. Stereo on, check. Everyone invited even though its last minute, check. Time to party! Princeton comes downstairs dressed to impress since his "boo-thing" will be at the party tonight, he looks at almost every single mirror he passes in the house and has a huge smile on his face. "Will you calm down please?" Ray says, "Who are you trying to look cute for?" Without looking away from the hand mirror Princeton smiles and says, "Maybe I am , maybe I'm not."

"Oooohhh!" Ray replies.

Roc comes down the stairs looking his best since Zoe was going to be there, even though he knew he probably wouldn't get a chance with her he still wanted to try. He wanted her to at least know what she was missing. "Where's Prod and Bella?" Ray asked, "Still getting ready," Roc replied as he fixed his cuffs on his shirt. "What, you got someone to impress too?" Ray asked and like deja vu Roc said, "Maybe I am , maybe I'm not."

"Dang. I feel left out now," he said looking at his clothes, "I think I'm going to go change."

*Meanwhile*

Bella was checking herself out in Prodigy's mirror making sure she looked presentable. She had on red pumps, a black sleeveless dress and her hair was in curls. Isn't that what got her pregnant in the first place?, Prodigy thought. She was looking in the mirror for a very long time, she looked at her face, her body, her clothes, and her shoes for what seemed like hours. She got dressed quicker than Prodigy did but for some reason she was taking forever to go downstairs. "I'm missing something," she said out loud to herself, Prodigy looked at her once more and saw the look on her face. It wasn't a look of confusion like she normally had, and it wasn't a look of lust. It was more of a depressed look, like she didn't like what she saw in the mirror.

In almost every man's eyes she was a goddess, what could she possibly worry about? She shook her head, "No," she said, "This doesn't look right," She then went into Prodigy's bathroom and locked the door. As quick as a flash he whipped out the crack and took one snort, he felt wild and free until he heard crying. But where was it coming from? He looked around the room trying to find the sound, he found it. It was coming from the bathroom. He felt a little sympathetic but shrugged it off and snorted another row, again he was interrupted by Bella's cry. He put up the crack and all of the tools that went with it and headed to the bathroom door. "Bella?" he said while knocking," Are you okay?"

"No," she replied sniffing.

"What's wrong?"

"I look terrible!"

"No you don't,"

"Yes I do,"

"Bella you are-"

He stopped himself, What's wrong with you Prodigy?, he thought, She's just a slut. She's doing it for attention. Remember how you called that one girl pretty and gave her all of your love? What did she do? "You are going to miss all of my celebrity friends," he continued, "They might want you to be in a video with them," It was then quiet for a little while but soon Bella opened the door whipping her eyes, "Even if I look like this?" she asked. "Yeah," he replied, "Even if you look like that. Now come on, lets go to a party."

*Minutes Later* 

Everyone that you could possibly imagine was there, people from rising stars to just plain celebrities were there. Everyone was dancing and if they weren't dancing then they were mingling with each other. The party was jumping, no one felt sad, confused, stressed, or jealous! Everyone was fine. Even though Bella was getting a lot of attention from almost every boy in the party Prodigy didn't mind at all. Everyone was happy and hanging out like they were normal teens, nothing was going wrong. This is what they needed, this is what they needed for a long time. Just some happiness and love, they were in pure paradise.

*After the Party*

Everyone left except  Zonnique, Breaunna, Bahja, Jacob, and Zoe. They all stayed to help clean up the place and to catch up on old times. "So," Zonnique whispered into Princeton's ear, "Who is she?" She was referring to Bella. "That's Prod's girl,"

"Oh so he's finally settling down?"

"Uh... something like that."

Ray and Bre were joking around talking about things that happened when they didn't see each other, in the mist of their joking Bre got a call. "Hello?" she said into the phone, she was listening to the person on the other line and suddenly screamed, "WHAT?!" Everyone looked in fear at her, "Yes thank you!" she said calmly, then she hung up the phone. "You won't believe this shit!" she said, "What?" asked Jacob.

"My car got stolen!"

"Oh my God are you for real?" asked Bahja.

"Yeah, but it gets worse! The people who stole it crashed my car so it's pretty much wrecked!"

"This sound like some stuff that would happen in a fan fiction book." said Jacob.

"I know right?" said Bre.

"We could drive you home." said Ray.

"Or......." said Princeton. Everyone looked at him waiting for him to say something, "What is it Prince?" asked Jacob. Princeton looked at everyone in the room with a smile on his face, "Or you guys could stay here and we can have a huge sleepover!" Everyone gave it a thought, "Well," said Bahja, "I did miss your afro while I was gone."

"I missed all of you guys so much!" said Bre, "I guess we could stay for the night. I mean we don't have plans,"

"Then its settled!" said Princeton, "Everyone will stay here!"

Princeton observed the smiling faces of everyone around him and thought, This is true paridise...But will it stay this way?
