Saturday morning  (No one's POV)

The next morning, Sarah and Brianna woke up pretty late. Sarah hadn't uttered a word to Brianna since they got there. She didn't know how to bring up the fact that she began to like Keenan. How would you? It was like number 1 girl code. Somewhere there was a binary law that Brianna had "dibs" on Keenan. "You okay, Sarah? You've been quiet for too long?" Brianna said as Sarah sighed. "I know, but if I speak what's on my mind, it could hurt our friendship." Sarah said, Brianna sat down on the bed next to Sarah. "Anything you tell won't matter, we've been friends too long!" Brianna said reassuringly. Sarah let out a deep sigh as she tried to form the right words. "Uhm-" Sarah said with a shaky voice. "You know how you said that I didn't even like black boys?" Sarah said looking to Brianna. "Yeah. No offense to that, but every time I showed you a fine black boy, you shrugged him off." Brianna said flipping her hair over her shoulder. "Well, I might have feelings for Keenan." Sarah said as Brianna's eyes got wide. "Wh-What?!" Brianna said sitting up to look at her best friend. "Since when?" She asked as Sarah tried to think. "I don't know, today maybe. He got a phone call from one of his friends and whatever she was telling him-" "SHE?!" Brianna said cutting Sarah off. "Yes, she. Anyway, and the way he was smiling as they talked about his friends and him missing his basketball team. I wanted to be the one making him smile like that, and you should've seen his eyes Bri." Sarah said as her eyes lit up talking about the guy she had begun to develop feelings for. "Sarah, listen to yourself, you really like him." Brianna said as Sarah sighed before looking over to Brianna. "You're not mad?" Sarah asked. "No, of course not. You know I have had eyes for Derrick since he got here." Brianna said. "Then why were you flirting with him?" Sarah asked confused. "I really really like Derrick and I'm not confident in his feelings with me. I just wanted to know where he was at with me. Turns out, he feels the exact same and then some. You should see our messages." Brianna said as Sarah laughed. "OOOUUU, show me!" Sarah said as they rested on the bed, Brianna pulling up their messages.

After reading the last message sent, Sarah quickly hopped off the bed. "Gross gross gross gross!" Sarah said jumping around. "Chill, they're clean sheets." Brianna said. "How long has THAT been going on?" Sarah asked waving her hands at the bed. "About a  couple now. I would just ask him out cause it's 2019 for crying out loud, but I'm scared all he wants is sex." Brianna said as Sarah sat next to her, giving her a light hug. "Trust me, he really likes you as well. You're both just shy when it comes to this sort of thing." Sarah said as Brianna nodded. "You're right, but I'm gonna help you get with Keenan." Brianna said, sticking her tongue out. "Let me see your messages." Brianna said as Sarah pulled them up. "They're nothing compared to you and Derrick's." Sarah joked.

"And this was from last night, aww. Y'all like each other." Brianna said as Sarah smiled. "I hope so." Sarah said as they laid back and chilled.

"So..you just gon pretend that you don't like Sarah?" Derrick asked as he saw Keenan trying to form a text message but erasing it every time. "You gon pretend you ain't fucking Bri?" Keenan replied. "How you know about that?" Derrick asked. "Last time I stayed over her, her name popped up and that message wasn't about no homework. Plus, she was trying too hard to flirt with me. And oh I don't know, you talk about how fine she is every time I'm over here!" Keenan said as they were playing 2k. "Yeah watch me splash this 3 like I splash in-" "Don't even finish that sentence nigga!" Keenan said as they continued to play the game. "But don't tell me that you don't think that Sarah is fiiine as hell?" Derrick asked as Keenan paused the game. "She bad than a motherfucker! Look at this." Keenan said pulling out his phone, going on Sarah's Instagram page.

"When she post that?" Derrick asked. "2 day ago, and damn do she look good. Lookin like a full course meal and a nigga is starving." Keenan said shaking his head while licking his lips. "Bro, she did not have that ass last year sweatergawd." Derrick said holding his hands up. "Damn, forreal?" Keenan said scrolling through her pictures. "One hunnid." Derrick said as they went back to playing. "But she is chill as fuck tho, I really like her too." Keenan said not even focusing on playing anymore, he was focused on Sarah. "But she still in love with that weak ass nigga, Jason." Keenan said kissed his teeth. "Nigga is you mad?" Derrick asked. "Hell yeah I'm mad. He has a WHOLE other girlfriend right now, the female he cheated on her wit and she still in love with him. Like? Why?" Keenan said as he didn't understand any of Sarah and Jason's relationship. "It's hard with first loves tho." Derrick said turning off the game. "Hell, first anything." Derrick continued. "That's why she be all in her feelings with ole dude." Keenan said as it finally made sense. "And before you start tryna cuff home girl, just know that she gon make yo ass work for whatever you asking for. Why you think Jason ass still obsessed wit her?" Derrick said. "Oh word, she got that good good?" Keenan joked as Derrick shook his head. "Ion know, but Bri does!" Derrick said as Keenan rolled his eyes. "I didn't need to know that, and I was just playing with Sarah. I respect her for her decisions. A good and honest girl." Keenan said. "Yeah yeah, can we go so I can see my baby?" Derrick said as they went to Brianna's house.
