Aaliyah

Today was the day of the talent show and I was definitely ready. Nobody was ready for what we had in store.

At the moment we were at Destiny's house getting dressed. We had on similar outfits, but they were different colors & made differently to fit our styles.

"I'm so nervous man." Lo said while I was wand curling her hair.

"Me too, I don't wanna fuck it up." Dayna said fixing her box braids into a bun.

"Yall worry to much. We gonna kill shit!!" Carmen said trying to get them hype. I nodded my head in agreement.

"I mean there are some good acts, but our only competition for real are the boys." I said as I patted Lo's shoulder to let her know I was done.

"Bitch I look cute as fuck!" She said flipping her hair and posing.

We all laughed as we gathered the rest of our stuff and headed out the door. We arrived at the school two hours early so we can set up in our dressing rooms.

Ironically, they put the boys right next to us. As soon as we settled in the boys came in to chill with us.

"Hey Beautiful." Quincy said as he came behind me and wrapped his arms around me.

"Hey baby." I said blushing. He kissed my cheek and made me blush even harder.

When I looked up all the girls were booed up with they boyfriends. Well everyone except for Lo. She was looking down at her phone and Brandon was across the room just staring at her.

He might as well just make her his but I guess everyone moves at their own pace.

"Yall nervous at all?" Loren asked getting everyones attention.

"I am, I'm not gone lie." August announced to us.

"Why? All Yall gotta do is smile and you automatically win." Destiny said making everybody laugh.

"True. But nah though, I like to sing but not in front of other people." August said.

"Same." Loren agreed.

"You've got a voice that needs to be showcased, you got this beautiful." Brandon said to Lo.

She blushed and looked over at him.

"Thanks Brandon, I really appreciate it." She said still blushing. He nodded and started blushing as well.

"Yall might as well make it official." Carmen said to them, mainly Brandon though.

"Maybe." He said causing my to roll my eyes.

"You better before somebody else snatches her up." I said to him.

"I doubt that'll happen." He replied arrogantly.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Lo snapped.

"You took it the wrong way man." Brandon defended.

"So explain what you meant.." She said crossing her arms.

We heard a knock at the door and it came at the perfect time.

Dayna went to answer the door and it was the principal.

"The talent show will be starting in 15 minutes. Everyone head back to their own dressing rooms." He said then went on to the next dressing room.

"We'll finish this conversation later." Brandon said to Lo as he walked out. The boys kissed us and followed suit.

"I can't stand his ass!" Lo said rolling her eyes.
