*Vi*

So have you asked them yet? No and I don't know what to do. They are gonna spaz out on me about it to. Girl if you don't ask you don't know what they will say. Cely you know how they are. Well then why did you tell him you would go? Well I surely couldn't tell him no its Prom. Well technically then that's not a date, it's just a dance. Cely come on now my mamas are way smarter than that and if I leave the house with him it is a date. Okay so then beat them at their own game. Come again. Invite him over or introduce him to the strictest mom and go from there. You're kidding me right do I look like am trying to die or much less get him killed as well. You know my mother has guns right. Okay so what other option do you have Vi, either ask them or tell him you can't go. I gotta go I'll see you after Chem class. Okay bye girl. Don't stress get one mom on your side and I am sure mama Jay will go along with it.

She's right I gotta ask them before its too late and then they say no for sure. I turned the corner to see Drew coming down the hall with his home boys. How did I get so lucky to get him as a boyfriend?

***Flashback***

It started at the beginning of this year when we were doing the freshman activity fair. We had just done our performance and were walking off the stage to allow the basketball players to come on the stage. Oops I am sorry I said bumping into someone. Its okay beautiful. I am so clumsy I said looking down. Its okay really I should have been watching where I was going too he said still holding on to my arm. So what's your name? Avari. Mine is Andrew. Yeah I know I've only been dancing at your games during half time for the past year. Oh so you're a dancer. Really you can't tell by the outfit. Come on lover boy we supposed to be on the stage. I am coming he said still looking at me. So how can I get in touch with you? In touch! Yeah you got a phone right. Hmm... I am around I said walking off.

*** End flashback***

After that he found me in the lunch line like 2 weeks later and was on my ass literally ever sense. I kept him off for a while cause I felt like I couldn't trust him 100%. But I changed my mind after he bought me the sweetest Christmas gift I'd ever received from anyone outside of them. We've been together ever since then. Of course without my mom's knowledge cause the have a strict no dating till you are 16 rule.

Hey beautiful he said kissing my forehead. Hey! You okay you look like you were deep in thought. I was just thinking about some stuff nothing to serious. Oh okay well you got your dress yet? My dress! For the prom its 2 weeks away Vi. I know I am going shopping this weekend with my sister. Oh okay well what color you getting so we can coordinate. Red I know that's your favorite color. My girl he said kissing my cheek. I'll see you later on. Yeah after practice for sure. Bye beautiful. Bye Drew!

Later that night...

Mom are you home I said going into her secret room. Mom! Yeah girl she said coming out the studio instead. I need to talk to you. What about Vi? So there is this thing I want to go to can I go? What thing and who with? It's a dance at school, a friend invited me to go. Like a date Avari? No mom it's a dance a lot of people are gonna be there. So who is the person that asked you to go? Mom can I go or not? You gotta sell all of us on this Avari not just me. Mom please I said trying to appeal to her soft side. We all know that my mama while she may come off a little crazy has that soft side so whenever we really want something we go to her and for the most part we usually get whatever it is we want. You really wanna go to this dance. Yeah I do. And this "person" that invited you they know that you can't date right now right. Y... yes ma'am. Alright let me talk to them and see what they say. Thank you mommy I said hugging her. Mhm girl, you better not be playing me little girl. I am not I promise I said leaving her in the studio.
