Meet Someone New

Beep...Beep... Beep...Click

I stared at the roof when I woke up. It was for a couple of minutes. Just different thoughts planned out for my 21st birthday. What was I going to do?

I smelled something coming from the kitchen. It started to smell good then better then a little smoky( so I thought it was bacon) the the smell got stronger and stronger and then...

Err... Err...Err...

Damn it Lola! I ran out of the room and saw my roommate Lola in fanning out the smoke in the kitchen. This happened already 3 times this year and it was June.

After Lola and I fanned all of the smoke and the fire alarm went off Lola gave a a innocent smile. I was tired and out of breath.

Her naturally curly rosewood hair seemed brown and dusty and her smooth caramel skin was tired and wrinkly. With her big hazel eyes barley making an appearance squinting seeing through the leftover smoke.

"I'm sorry. I just tried to make you breakfast for your birthday." Lola said with her head down.

She isn't the best cook in the world. Hell, she can't cook at all. She burned the pizza rolls, made mushy mac n' cheese and making your own ice cream didn't go so well with her either.

"It's okay, at least you tried." I said

" And failed. Again." She looked down at the floor and picked up a piece of toast.

"This came out slightly successful." She laughed and I laughed along. 

The doorbell ranged. It must have to be our dorm neighbor Rei complaining again.

" Not it." Lola said running to the bed room.

I rolled my eyes and the knocking wouldn't stop. I opened the door and Rei almost hit me in the face still thinking she was knocking on the door.

She crossed her arms with her long platinum her tucked it her arms above her silk pink robe. With her sharp green eyes staring into my soul.

" I really don't have the time to walk down the stairs and make my complaint like I do every MONTH!!!!" She whispering to yelling.
" I was enjoying sleeping while listening to the sounds of the ocean with my vanilla bean scented candle until I hear that beeping noise through these thin ass walls!" She said banging on the wall.

"I'm sorry Rei. Lola was trying to cook and..."

" Well tell your little friend Lola that if she ever wants to cook again, make a damn sandwich or go to McDonalds where her greasy ass belongs!" She said yelling over my shoulder making sure Lola can hear her.

She walked away yelling "Why do I have to go to school with no life people!"
 
When I closed the door I went into my room and Lola was on her bed laughing at what she just heard at the front door. I swear that girl takes everything as a joke. That why it can be annoying and sometimes good to be around her.

"Rei is too funny! 'Go to McDonald's where her greasy ass belongs.'"She said laughing historically.

I chuckled and then stared laughing.

My phone began ringing and whenever my phone rings, Lola and I will dance to the ringtone then I'll answer it. It was my best best friend Tony.
 
Phone Conversation

Hello

T: 🎶Happy be birthday to ya. Happy Birthday, Happy birthday,🎶

You need to stop. *laughing*

T: Girl, you need to stop hating. *tongue click* So where we going?

I don't know. Where ever, When ever.

T: Girl, your 21 now. You can go wherever you want.

T: It is your 21st birthday and you want go to IHOP?

Well it is 9 in the morning. It's to early to do anything.

T: Ugh. Okay we'll go to IHOP.

Okay. 9:30?

T: 9:30? Girl, it is only 9:05.

What is wrong with that? It is just down the street from the college.

T: 10:00. You know I can't get ready in under 45 mins. Like I know you can get ready in 10 or 15 but it is because you don't look good all the time so you don't even try and... you no what? Never mind.

Okay Tony, 10:00 it is.

IHOP🥞

I waited for Tony for 20 mins. It was 10:25.

He walked in the door. Walking like a male model. That was just him. He was 6ft and 2inches in 3 quarters. He was skinny and had brown mocha chocolate skin. He had a big bag that said  'Happy birthday Gyrl!' He so made that bag himself.

He sat down looking disgusted.

"What?" I asked.

"You didn't want to go anywhere fancier?" He said looking around

"Where?"

"Denny's?"

"Denny's is no fancier than IHOP."

He rolled his eyes and hand me the gift. " You are wearing these tonight!"

I opened the shoe box. It was Gucci heels.

"How much did these cost?" I asked

"Don't worry about it. Just you are not going to be wearing those torn up vans shoes to the club cause that is a hell no." He said looking under the table.

Our waitress came by and said "Hello welcome to IHOP. What can I get you lovely lovebirds to drink?" Said the petite older lady.

"Ooo...no, no, no, no, no. Ma'am we are not dating. Look at her... Now look at me, Now look at  her...Now look at me. No, no, no, hunny.  Tony said waving his finger around.

"I am so sorry. We would both like water with lemon please." I said

"Sure thing." The waitress said confused and walked away.

Tony rolled his eyes with his head.
" So you ready to get turned up tonight." He said doing a little dance.

"I never agreed to go anywhere tonight."

" So when are you going to wear those heels? Church?"

I laughed " What club are we going to?"

"There is this one club that opened last month. I my friend Chrissy told me it was lit! It got a little restaurant in there and the bartenders are strippers. Girl it's great. A lot a people go there now and you might meet someone new." He said kicking me under the table.

" If anything I am not meeting no super drunk dude at a club."

" Your right. That something I would do."

I rolled my eyes and chuckled.
