Marianna's P.O.V

Today was the day for the show and I was so excited. I woke up at about 9 in the morning, way earlier than I usually do. I was too excited to get a proper sleep, yet I felt so energized like I slept 12 hours. I already had my outfit laid out on the bed. It was a blue tie dye shirt I got for my birthday from my mom last year. I never wore it, scared that my dad would freak out that it was a crop top, but I always loved it. There was a pair of green cargo pants, and the blue vans to match the shirt. I had next to the pants one of the necklaces I've got from my dad. I was gonna look fly.

I heard the door open downstairs, which meant my mom was home from her night shift. I ran downstairs and gave her a hug. She was caught off guard, but hugged me back.

Mom: Now whatchu all happy for ? You want money don't you Mari? (Smiles.)

Mari: No mommm. I told you I'm gonna see Boss today!

Mom: Oh right that girl group. Here take this. (Gives Mari $40) For any snacks you might need.

Mari: Thanks Mommy, you're the best! (Hugs her.)

Mom: Alright now, Imma go get some sleep. You're going to Jeimy's house right?

Mari: Yeah she's driving us.

Mom: Alright now, be careful. (Kisses her forehead.)

She walked upstairs and I followed, going up to my room. I didn't know when Jeimy was gonna call for me to go to her house because we were planning on going to see her cousin along the way. So I put on my clothes now, and then put my hair up in a bun. I looked in the mirror, satisfied with my look. I took a few pictures, wondering if I should put them on the gram later on.

Right after my phone started to ring.

Mari: Hello?

Jeimy: Hey Mari! You ready?

Mari: Yeah I am. You still want me to go to your house?

Jeimy: I'm actually in front of your house. Hurry up little girl!

I laughed, and hanged up. I grabbed my small messenger bag, and put my phone, money, and the note in it. I was gonna say bye to my mom, but she was already fast asleep. I kisser her forehead, and ran downstairs and out the front door. There was Jeimy in her red convertible. I hopped in, and I buckled my seatbelt.

Jeimy: Well hello to you Mari. Ready?

Mari: Ready as I'll ever be. We going to your cousin's house right?

Jeimy: Yup. He's been annoying me to go visit him.

Mari: So I'm guessing for once he isn't busy.

Jeimy: You got it.

We arrived at her cousin's house. Or should I say penthouse. I didn't even know they had penthouses like this in Jersey.

I never met her cousin, and Jeimy didn't say much about him, except he was always busy cause his job always was preoccupying his time.

We went up to the gate, and guard let us in immediately. I was in awe of everything I was seeing her. She parked her car in front of the garage, and we got out and went to the front door. She rang the doorbell, and we waiting for her cousin to open the door. I couldn't believe who I was looking at, and my jaw had to drop because I heard Jeimy tell me to close my mouth, but I couldn't.

Right in front of me was Issa Thompson.

The Issa Thompson.

Beautiful eyed, dread head Issa Thompson.

Jeimy: Mari!

Mari: Why didn't you tell me this? (Points to Issa.)

Jeimy: Cause of your reaction!

Mari: You can't expect me not to be surprised here.

Issa: She has a point you know.

Mari: See.

Jeimy: Alright, alright. Now you gonna let me in Issa or not?

Issa: Actually no. We're going to a concert now.

Mari: We were actually going to one too. Which one?

Issa: Boss' concert. I heard how y'all were fans and I was gonna get y'all in for free.

Jeimy and I started to laugh, while Issa stood there confused.

Issa: What's so funny?

I took out the note, and showed it to him. He read it, and shook his head.

Issa: I see y'all already got in. But y'all gonna see them before they perform. Leggo.

At first I was still in a daze, but I kind of got over the fact that Jeimy is Issa's cousin. But now I was gonna meet Boss, and that my stomach twist and turn. What if I stumble on my words, or literally stumble. When I'm nervous, I get type clumsy, so I'm just hoping that doesn't happen. And if everything goes fine, hopefully I could show them a few of my moves. Hopefully.

Praying for the best.
