I was thinking long and hard about what Tiana had said but I knew Hakeem was only using me for publicity. I huffed and pulled on my camo sports bra and my camo skinny jeans and slipped into my Nike slides. I grabbed my phone and headed to the kitchen to see my dad and Amber.
Dad: Someone called for you.
Me: Did they say a name?
Dad: Hakeem. Who is Hakeem?
Me: Uhhh...
Dad: I told you hang with people your age.
Me: I don't hang with him.
Amber: Is he the one that dropped you home the other day?
Me: I gotta go. I'll be back.
Amber: Mr.Lyon said to drop you off.
Me: Amber why you maliciousing in my biz?
Dad: Just go.
I raced out the house and to Empire. When I got there Freeta was staring me down.
Freeta: Who you?
Me: Beyonka. Where Luscious at?
Freeta: You helping me defeat Hakeem?
Me: Yeah.
