Guard Down

I sat on Diamond's bed studying for my math exam.
"So are you going to come to the party with me"he asked. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Adrianna, you just turned 18, you better use it to your advantage" Diamond exclaimed
"I don't want to go" I replied
"Why not" he asked. " Come with me please, please" He continued to beg and whine. I rolled my eyes.
"Fine I'll go" I finally said.
" And lose that attitude" Diamond exclaimed.
"I rather not"I said.
"I got a question" he said, sitting next to me.
"I might have a answer" I replied.
" Why wont you give Travis a chance" he asked. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.
"Now why are you bringing him up" I snapped.
"Listen here, heffa" Diamond snapped back. " He's cute and you can have a little buddy to mess around with to get your mind off of all that damn schoolwork and college"
" I don't want that" I explained "I want something real, not some toy"
"Shit, he can toy with me all he wants" he mumbled. I pushed him and we began laughing.
"I'll put my guard down, okay" I said "But not for no nigga"
" Fine, I can deal with that" he replied "For now"
I continued to study, but my mind trailed off a little. Am I really that protective of myself. Well ever since I saw my sister get her heartbroken so many times, I decided not to end up like that. I was determined to worry about school before worrying about boys. Besides, I got a brother and I see how he treats girls, I'm good off that. Then having my guard up for guys, turned into my guard up about everything.
Parties, drugs, drinking, all of it. My focus is school, sometimes dance but mostly school. It's just a hobby, nothing deep.
"So what are you going to wear to the party" Diamond asked.
"Good question" I mumbled." I don't have no idea what to wear. Should I show some skin or too much"
" Girl, you can rock anything" he exclaimed " just wear one of your crop tops and some leggings" I rolled my eyes.
"Bitch, roll your eyes at me again" Diamond snapped. I looked into his eyes and rolled my eyes. He tackled me on the bed. He began slapping my arms and face.
"Okay, okay" I screamed " I'm sorry"
" All that fucking attitude" he mumbled. I busted out laughing.
" I can't believe I'm friends with you" he said.
"Oh, come on you love me" I teased.
" Who ever said that" he said.
" Damn, harsh" I replied. He gave me a big smile.
"Naw you good" I said, getting up. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back on the bed.
"You are not going anywhere" Diamond said. I put my hands behind my head.
" So what should I know about parties" I asked.
" Don't drink, eat or smoke shit, without me giving it to you" he answered.
" Okay, okay" I said. He smiled.
" Damn, my Adrianna is going to a party" he chuckled.
Adrianna is being a little bold. Do you think the party will go well?
