Dinah Jane

Lauren Michelle, where are you ?!

[7:03 AM]

For real, Ralph ? I told you last night that you need to be here by 7:00 !

[7:05 AM]

Jesus Christ. Dinah just wouldn't stop texting me! I know that I'm running late, but seriously? I'm only 5 minutes late!

I'm not Ralph!

[7:06 AM]

Prepare for an hour of sermon, lazy ass. Good luck.

[7:08 AM]

If the elevator was only working then I wouldn't have to climb million steps of stairs to the 7th floor, and I wouldn't have to be late! Obviously, luck isn't on my side right now.

Y O U

I was pacing back and forth in the modern styled room in New York for good ten minutes and I know that everyone's looking at me like an idiot right now. I can't seem to find the point of not telling the new bassist's name to us. I haven't even got to talk to her—it's always Normani and Dinah doing the job. They'd say that they could handle it so, I stopped insisting.

I glanced up at them, brows furrowed. "I want to go home. I told you that I want the bassist here by 7:00, right? Where the hell is that idiot now?!"

"Jeez. Calm down, grumpy pants," Camila said, playing with Dinah's drumsticks. "She's already here in the building, right Dinah?"

The Polynesian nodded and I grew more irritated. "Why haven't she told us her name again?"

The four of them shrugged simultaneously, earning another groan from me and I plopped down the couch between Ally and Normani.

I messed with my phone instead, hoping that this will calm me down and distract me from whoever our bassist is. She must not have been aware of the word punctual.

I turned the wifi on and my notifications from Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and Tumblr are infinite.

I also had to keep my past instagram account hidden by making it private and changing the name and all because it was full of Lauren's picture and I, and the management told me that it would be better to keep it from the world. I made a new account. Our fans also didn't know that Dinah, Normani and I are lesbians—we haven't come out yet since it was only then when we became known to people. We want to take good hold of our name.
