Mariah Oneshots

Mean Girls [pt. 3]

****Stephanie's POV****

Mariah and I had been officially dating for about 4 months, and it had honestly been the best 4 months of my life. Mariah and I may have been young and only been together for a short amount of time, but I loved her and I knew that she loved me back.

"Damn, girl! Stop stuffing your face and come sing! You got everybody waiting on you." Whitney said to Mariah, who was eating chips. We were all in the choir room after school because Mariah and Whitney wanted to practice some more on their song.

"I'm sorry, but I was hungry." Mariah giggled, wiping the crumbs off of her face. 

"You've been eating up everything you can find recently."

"Not true....." Mariah pouted as she opened her water bottle.

"She's kinda right, Riah." I said.

"See? Steph, you didn't get Mimi pregnant did you?" Whitney asked me with a smile.

"Well, I don't think that's really possible considering that I don't have a penis." I responded, making Michael and Prince laugh as well.

"Oh, whatever. I'm ready now." Mariah giggled. She sat the water bottle down and grabbed her sheet off of the piano then she stood next to Whitney and cued Prince, who was playing the piano for them with the music Mariah gave him. They started the song while Michael and I recorded their singing, then once they finished they came over and we played it back for them.

"Mariah, I think we should swap harmonies in the bridge." Whitney commented after listening to it.

"The whole thing?"

"No, like we should alternate. So on 'they don't always happen when', I should start on the G sharp and you start on the B below it. Then when we get to 'and its easy to give in', I'll start on the G sharp and you start on the B above me. And you stay on top for 'when you're blinded by your pain.....', and we'll swap again for the rest of the bridge, placing you at the bottom starting on 'small but still'. That way, both of our voices get equal shine.....you see what I mean?" Whitney explained.

"Yeah, I get it." Mariah responded as both of them wrote that down in their parts.

"So, do y'all think y'all are ready to present it to Mr. Ellison?" Michael asked.

"Yes, but when we do it in class we're gonna just hum the melody/harmonies so that people won't steal the lyrics. You know, we have a few thieves in the choir." Whitney responded.

"And then Mr. Ellison said that he'd take me and Nippy to professionally record it once we're ready. That way, we can officially put writing credits and things of that nature on it and it'll be the music for those slideshow DVDs that the senior class is getting in our packages." Mariah added.

"That's so dope....I know it's gonna be great at graduation, too." I smiled.

"I agree, this is gonna be awesome." Prince smiled.

"Thanks guys!" Mariah squealed.

"Now, can we go eat? I'm starving!!" she continued.

"Mariah, you literally ate 2 bags of chips, a PopTart, and a honey bun.....and you're still hungry?" Whitney laughed.

"Yes." Mariah giggled.

"Well, where are we going to eat? Anybody got a suggestion?" I asked.

"I want ice cream.....or brownies......or cookies? I don't know, I just want something sweet." Mariah answered.

"Well, Perkin's has all of that in one spot so how about that?" Whitney suggested.

"That sounds good to me! Prince, are you coming too?" Mariah smiled.
