"Jahara Fringer," Xo began talking about the girl from the a few nights ago.

"I told y'all I don't care," I sighed as they both laid comfortably on my bed as I got ready for work.

"We know but you've just been a little quiet lately. So we're just tryna see if it's what we thought."

"Whether it is or isn't, I'm over it." I mumbled slipping on my underwear under the towel then tossing it to put on my bra.

"Whatever. Jahara Fringer, 22, just had a baby named Memphis, how original, people really need to stop naming their kids cities. She works at Forever 21," Xo said before scrolling. "And she's a real life hoe."

"What?" Urban laughed, tilting the phone so she could see.

"How you know?" I ran over to the bed, and leaned over her to see.

She was on google and from these little blogs, her baby daddy plays for the Hawks, and there was a picture where you could see her sitting on a man's lap in nothing but panties, covering her boobs, smiling as there were multiple other men in the picture.

"Thought you didn't care." Xo teased.

"She does, and this is perfect because you know what that means," Urban swiggled her eyebrows.

I sighed and went and grabbed my scrubs from the closet and began getting dressed.

"No. What does that mean?" I asked tugging on the difficult shirt.

"It means that's not his girl or nothing. She was probably just tryna get some dick and catch her next victim."

"The question is did he fall for it." Xo asked.

"Well while you and Nancy Gwen solve this mystery. I'll be at work." I laughed.

"Who Nancy?" Xo asked.

"I'm Nancy," Urban whispered for whatever reason.

"No I'm Nancy. I found the girl."

I shook my head, slipping on my earrings as they both argued who was the true mystery solver.

Urban was a full time student who was spoiled by her parents who was a congressman and a lawyer.

And Xolani was my personal Joanne the Scammer. She had sugar daddies from here to the west coast, but managed to finesse without giving sugar except to one. Such an inspiration.

"Well someone tell Zya the juice." I referred to our other best friend who had just came back last night and had been away for a family emergency.

"Will do," they got up, noticing I was leaving.

"The bus will drop Cody off from school at 3:15, and if Cori gets fussy put him in the little bouncer."

"We know, we know." Xo shooed me off and I waved bye, going to my car.

I sat boredly at the nurses station, taking pictures of myself since it had been slow the past three hours.

"Camilian!" I heard and hurriedly tucked my phone away since it shouldn't be out. "Camilian!"

I clicked on the computer, just swiggling the mouse and clicking at the blank screen, like I was doing something.

"Ms. Zaveri?" my boss, Andrea, crossed her arms as she now stood in front of the desk.

It was something about her. Like she didn't like me, but she didn't dislike me, if that makes sense. She was just weird and demanding.
