"I have way too much melanin." She says.
"You never have too much melanin,babygirl." He says.
"You're funny." She says.
"Who said I was joking?"
*a story in which a girl's melanin pops severely*
August 6, 2016 - July...
My body is numb. Carson just told me he loves me, and to make matters worse he kissed me. I mean, I used to have a crush on him but that was the past. He's an amazing guy, I just don't want to be the hollywood movie cliche of the girl that has to choose between two guys or possibly more. Plus, my trust issues are on ten. How do I know this isn't just a joke or some silly game he was forced into? I tolerate Carson out of respect for Kora, but if this is a game then that respect will soon fade.
"Carson, I'm flattered and all but-"
"I know. I know. You like Grayson. It's cool with me." He says.
"So, why did you kiss me?" I ask.
"I wanted to get my feeling off my chest. I understand if you don't want anything to do with me." He says.
"No. We can still be friends." I say.
"I'm cool with that." He says.
"I think we should get going." I say.
"Yeah. We do have a party to get to." He says.
He takes my hand in his and leads me to the car.
"Don't you have to change?" He asks.
"Yeah. I totally forgot about that. I'll just change in the car." I say.
"I don't think that'll be a good idea." He says.
"You can stand outside of the car." I say.
"Why?" He asks.
"Cause you ya daddy's son." I say.(if anyone brings up juju on that beat i stg)
"What?" He asks.
"It's a pun. Your name is Carson. You know like car son?" I say.
"That's so lame it's funny." He says.
We continue to walk the car and I get my keys from to unlock the door. I get in and grab the bag that has my party outfit in it. I take off my shoes, jeans, and my shirt. I then replace them with my new outfit.

I finish putting on the clothes, and move from the backseat to the front of the car. I unlock the door for Carson. He gets in and and sits in the driver's seat again.
"You look good." He says.
"Thank you. I try." I say.

Carson opens my door, and the bass of the loud music hits me. There are red cups all over the lawn. Grayson's house looks really big at night, bigger than it ever has. Carson walks beside me and we walk into the house together.
There's a thing at my school, that it you walk into a party with someone that you date that person. I never really believed this, but I never believe any of the rumors that take place at my school.
"I'm gonna go find Grayson." I say to Carson.
He nods his head, and heads toward the kitchen.
I walk around the fairly crowded house, but there's no sign of Grayson anywhere. I see Kori and Kai dancing in the middle of Grayson's living room. I walk up to Kora and tap her on the shoulder. She turns around and smiles when she sees me.
"Bitch! You look good." She exclaims.
"You do too." I say.
"I like your outfit." She says.
"Thank you, but where's Grayson?" I ask.
"I don't know, but someone said he's been in the basement all night so he might still be down there." She says.
I nod my head and leave here there to dance alongside Kai.
I walk around the house, until I find the basement.
It's dark and dusty.
There's only one light and it's just a light bulb.
I hear someone talking.
It's Grayson.
"I don't care if you don't have it." He says.
"I told you. I needed it for my mom. She's sick." Some guy says.
"I don't give a fuck. I gave you my product so you could fucking sell it. Not so you could take it and get over on me." He says.
"I promise I'll have it." The guys says.
"You better. I want my shit the next time I see you." Grayson says.
The guy nods his head frantically.
"Get the fuck out of my face." Grayson says.
The guy quickly rushes towards the door, which I'm standing near.
He doesn't say anything to me, because his main focus is getting as far away from Grayson as quickly as he can.
