Aaliyah's POV

I woke up at my best friend Tia's house excited for what going to be one of the best days of my life. She was still peacefully asleep beside me, but I couldn't celebrate by myself. So I stood up and started bouncing around on the bed.

"WAKE UP TIA! "I yelled jumping up and down beside her.

"Uhhh!" She growled rolling over looking at me. "Sit yo ass down somewhere Aaliyah!" She said laughing and hitting me with a pillow.

"Can can't! Its time to turn up!" I said laughing and started dancing.

"You outta hand!" She said pushing me of the bed.

I landed on my feet and continued dancing. She got up and joined me dancing. After about 2 more minutes of us acting out we started laughing.

"We needa start getting ready for school." Tia said as she hopped to her closet.

"Yeah, Diggy will be here to pick us up soon."I reminded her.

"Gurl! You just don't know what your brother does to me!" Tia said as she starting shouting like she was in church.

I laughed.

"And I don't wanna know either!" I said gaging at her remark. I turned on the water in the sink and started to brushed my teeth. "Can I wear one of your outfits today I forgot to pack one? Plus I needa look good for my birthday!"

"Or is it for Prodigy!?" She teased.

"Shut up!"I said blushing as I walked back into the room and sat on the bed.

I've had a crush in Prod for what seems like forever. I've always had a thing for bad boys, and he was definitely one. Its was just something about the way he carries himself that made my heart start to tremble. But I knew that my bother would kill me for even talking to his gang rival. Plus I needa focus on school. No boys. Period.

She had two similar outfits out for me and her today. I knew the more colorful one was mine. She knows what looks best on me. We started getting dressed and started our hair. About 30 minutes later we heard Diggy's loud music coming from his car.

Tia ran down stairs to him and he got out of his car and hugged and kissed her. I walked outside and roller my eyes in disgust. Diggy saw me and laughed.

"Don't hate." He teased.

"I wouldn't be if you weren't a jackass to every guy I try to talk to."I snapped.

"It's called protecting my sister not being a jackass." He snapped back.

"Yeah, yeah whatever. Nobodies ever good enough for you." I said getting into the backseat of his car and slammed the door shut.

"He only acts like that because he cares about you."Tia said trying to encourage me as she got in the car.

"Thanks for taking his side best friend." I said in cocky way.

"Hey don't be mad at her. She know where the good stuff at." Diggy said winking at her and started the car.

She blushed and I choked.

"Y'all disgust me.." I said.

"We love you too." Tia said as she reached back and messed up my hair.

"Stop it!" I said hitting her hand away.

She turned back around in her seat laughing and I looked into the rearview mirror and tried to fix my hair.

"Trying to look good for someone?" Diggy asked.

I didn't answer I just kept tossing my hair around.

"I take that as a yes." He said beneath his breath.

"It none of your business." I said.

He stopped the car in the middle of the road almost causing a wreck. He turned back and looked at me.

"It is my business." He scowled.

"It's not that serious babe." Tia said trying to calm him down. "It's just a crush."

"If its any of them Crips niggas you know its aint happening." Diggy said looking back at me.

"He's not even in a gang."I lied.

Prod wasn't just in a gang he was the gang leader of the Crips and Diggy of the Bloods. They've always bumped heads even before they were in gangs. Plus I knew I wasn't his type. He liked bad girls and I was the total opposite of his girlfriend Erica. So I knew me and Prod ever having a relationship was outta the question, but a girl can dream right? In my case, no.

Diggy calmed down and started back moving.

"Good." He said.

It was silent until we got to the school. My heart started racing when I saw Prod standing outside of the school with his fellow gang members. He wore a solid white shirt and pants with a light blue belt, SnapBack, and shoes to match.

I got out the car and started at him. We made eye contact and he grinned at me. I could feel my face turning red so I hurried and looked away.

"Hey Aaliyah." Tia said digging in her bag pulling out a stack if envelopes. "Here's some of the invitation for your party tomorrow night." She said handing them to me.

"Oh thanks." I said looking threw the names of the people.

Diggy took Tai's hand and they went off handing out invitations. I continued to look threw my stack when I felt a breeze fly by me making my hair whip back. I looked up and Prod was standing in front of me leaning up against Diggy's car.

"What ya got there beautiful?" He said grinning at me.

I started to blush.

"These are my party invitations for tomorrow night." I said looking back threw them for his name.

When I found Prod's invite it had hearts written all over it. My whole face turned redder than it already was. And Prod laughed.

"Your so cute when you blush." He said lifting my head by my chin with his index finger.

I felt like I was melting when I felt his skin on mine. Like I was in a dream. But it started to fade when I saw his Prod's girlfriend Erica staring at us.

"H-Here you go." I said handing it to him hesitantly. "Here's Ray's too." I said giving him the other one.

"Thanks." He smiled. "You don't mind if I bring some more people with me?" He asked.

"No, not at all! The more the better!" I said smiling back making him feel welcome.

He grinned.

"You ain't half bad, beauty." He said.

"It's Aaliyah." I said making sure he knew my name.

"I know." He said winking at me before her started walking away.

I didn't know Tia was watching everything from a distance. So once Prod got far enough away she ran to me. We both screamed and jumped around.

"I can't believe I just did that!" I yelled.

"IKR!" She yelled back.

We both laughed and took a deep breath to calm down. The bell for first period rang and we headed towards the building.
