Arnell stood in the mirror for hours. She couldn't get her hair right. If she didn't get it fixed in time, she was literally going to have a breakdown. Today was the day Shaydon was taking her out on a date.
Arnell grunted as she tried to save her hair from being a total flop.

Shaydon: Be there in five. ;)

Arnell's heart dropped. She was all over the place. She knew Shaydon most of her life but for some reason she was so nervous.

"Where you going?" Jada asked standing in the door frame.

"Out." Arnell simply replied.

Jada smacked her lips as she left the bathroom. Arnell finally got her hair the way she wanted just in time because her phone rang.

"I'm outside."

Arnell quickly hung up the phone and waltzed her way to the front door. She slipped into a pair of black heels that were by the door.

"I'm gone, Jada." She called out before leaving.

When she got outside, Shaydon was on the passenger side of the car with the door opened. Arnell got inside of the car and Shaydon closed the door.

When Shaydon got in the car, Arnell asked him where they are going. He said they were going to the drive in movie theater. Arnell always wanted to go, but had never been. It was actually closed, but Shaydon's uncle owned it so the were able to get in.

The weather was so nice that they decided to sit on the roof of the car while watching Scarface. Shaydon let Arnell picked the movie. It was her favorite.

After the movie, Shaydon drove Arnell home. She had to admit it wasn't the best date, but it was cute and fun. Shaydon admitted he threw it together last minute and that he would make up for it with another date.

Shaydon opened Arnell's door and walked her to the front door of Jada's house. She had been knocking for five minutes but Jada did not come to open the door.

"You gone be waiting awhile because she's not even answering her cell." Arnell said while hanging up the phone.

"Well, where she at, I gotta pee." Shaydon stated.

Arnell shrugged. She knew she couldn't be too far because the car was in the driveway. Shaydon smacked his lips before he began banging on the door. He was banging for a good two minutes before Jada finally answered.

"Boy, you lost yo mind?!" Why you knocking like you the damn popo?" Jada shouted.

"I gotta use the restroom." He said calmly while pushing passed her.

"What's his damn problem?!" Jada hissed.

Arnell sighed and kicked off her heals. Her feet were killing her. She slid into some flats that she usually walked around the house in.

"What were you doing? We were knocking for like ten minutes. I called your phone and everything."

Jada threw her hands up. "My bad. I was upstairs with the door closed."

Arnell shot a glance at Jada. "I got company." Jada continued.

"What company you got?"

Just then, Dorian, Damitri and Natalie came down the stairs.
