I'll Never Be Her: A Roc Royal Story

Chapter 3: Grand Entrance

Mendi POV

Sitting in Art class I couldn't focus because I was thinking about what outfit I should wear tonight. I turned around to see India doing the sketch assignment.

"India." She looked up at me and flashed me a smile.

"What's up?" She looked down and gently scratched her pencil on her drawing.

"What should I wear tonight?" I asked slightly panicky.

"Skirt. Crop top. Heels. Makeup. Curly hair. Sexy." India answers simply.

"But, I'm not sexy." I groan.

"Get Angela to help you." I nod.

"Good idea. Thanks." She smiled as she looked at me. After class I went to lunch and saw Angela cuddled with Daniel. "Angela what are you doing after school?"

"Hang out with Daniel and get ready for the party. Why?"

"I need help on an outfit for tonight."

"You care about how you look Men?" Daniel asked shocked.

"Shut up Dan." I roll my eyes at him.

"Babe can you take us to my house so I can get my stuff for the party tonight." He nods.

"Pussy whipped." The voice came from behind me.

"Suck my dick George." Daniel rolled his eyes at him.

"Naw. That's Angela job." He sipped his powerade and sat next to Dan. I rolled my eyes and looked up to see India talking to Chresanto. My heart sped up. I hate watching him with other women. I groaned. Angela turned around and sighed.

"It's fine."I shrugged trying to look non-nonchalant. I saw the two walk over to us smiling.

"India these my friends George, Angela, Daniel, and Mendi. Everybody this India." She waved at us then sat with me. A part of me wanted to grab her hair and beat the shit out of her but I refrained knowing I didn't want conflict. I hate conflict. It's one thing that I always steer clear of.

"Nice meeting y'all. Y'all coming to the party tonight?" She mostly directed her question to George and Daniel.

"I am." Nya popped up behind George. She sat between him and Daniel.

"What's your name?"India asked polite.

"Nya and you?"Nya didn't seem as polite or genuine with her question. India rolled her eyes sensing hostility.

"India." India wasn't very polite with her response but she said it with a smile.

"Hmm."Nya said. Chresanto clapped his hands getting all of our attention.

"Umm. We're all going."He says trying to cut off the tension. India smiled and nodded.

"Cool. This ought to be a fun night." India says. We all nod in agreement. After school Daniel drove us to Angela's house. She grabbed a bag and quickly gathered everything she needed for tonight. Then he drove us to my house. I allowed him to come inside since my parents were gone already and Braudel wasn't coming home until the party he was going to was over. I walked upstairs with Dan and Ange walking behind me. Angela went to where I put the new clothes and Daniel sat on my chair on the balcony. 

"Wear this." I looked at her like she was crazy. "You're a new person. You gotta look hot so put it on. I'll drag Daniel to another room so he can change."

"Where's his clothes?" I asked looking at the clothes.

"In the car. He was going to change at my house."
