“Oh my—Avery?? I can’t believe it!” She squealed and leaned over the row separating us to hug me.
“I know right!” I smiled back. A boy next to her turned around and raised his eyebrow at her.
“Oh, De this is Ama aka Avery, and Avery this is Deandré – Ariel’s best friend and my friend.” She gestured as she talked
“Nice to meet you.” His white glistening teeth flashed me.
“Same. This is my dad.” I tapped my father on the shoulder. “Dad, this is Eve and Deandré.”
“Oh, hi kids. Ama you’re making friends already? Good.” Did I mention he’s a psychologist? Well he is and he’s always trying to be intact with my emotions and blah blah blah. My mom died when I was young so ever since then he’s been raising me and my brothers. My brothers’ opinion on MB isn’t as great as ours so they stayed at the hotel.
“Hello.”
A man walked onto the darkened stage. “Hi, my name is Aaron and I’ll take you to meet everyone. Follow me, please.” He directed us to the stage and everyone was shaking with anticipation.
Eve walked next to me while Deandré was behind us, talking to my dad. Poor him.
“I didn’t know you lived inL.A.” I said.
“I don’t; I’m just here visiting my sister. Did I tell you that she works with MB?”
“FOR REAL??!!”
“Yuuup.” She popped the ‘p’.
“Well that would have been nice to know!"
When we were all backstageAaronstopped. “Okay folks. Ariel will take half of you to meet MB and the other half to meet WB, Jawan, etcetera” There were 10 people in my group including my dad,Eve, and De.
Eve and De waved over at Ariel and she shook her head while smiling. She then disappeared with her group.
***********
Ariel's POV:
Once the first group of girls and parents were forced out [Yes, we had to force the people because they didn’t want to leave], the second group entered. It was the usual shocked expressions, a few screaming, and a few acting normal. I can’t believe my sister came too; she keeps popping out of nowhere. Ughh. Ray doesn’t like her, jeez!
“Hey sis!” Eve chimed.
“Yo. So you both are stalking me now?”
“It’s not stalking if you’re fam, fam.”
A really beautiful girl was shyly standing half way behind Eve while eyeing me. “Who’s that?” I asked.
“Oh, I’m Ama but I like to be called Avery. . .Nice to meet you Ariel.”
“Ohhh I’ve heard a little about you, wassup? I could have sworn you lived inAfricatho’.”
“I do, but my dad and I are visiting for a month so we could meet MB and explore.”
As she spoke, I noticed she was one of those hated around the globe type. By that I mean: girls can’t help but to love to hate her. She makes it all look so effortless; simple as day, but they’re impossibly genuinely nice so you have no reason to hate them. Yeah, I hate that type too. My mom use to tease me that I had a sixth sense for people, well it only works for girls so far. Boys, I can’t figure out.
“Cool. So you better talk to one of them since you came all this way. Aye look Prodigy’s not talking to anyone .Ayo Prod!”
She blushed deeper than a tomato as he swayed over.
