Downtown Chick(*August Alsina Story)

"I don't wanna goooooooooo!" I yelled at my bestfriend Asia. It was Friday night. I honestly didn't feel like doing anything today. I had a rough day at school dealing with the usual drama and I just needed to relax. But Asia wasn't having that.

************************************

My name's Candy Autumn Kane. I'm 20 and I'll be making 21 in about 2 months on May 18th. I'm mixed with Egyptian and black. I have lightly tan skin and black hair that stops a little past my butt when straightened. I have a small waist and nice butt that I inherited from my Egyptian mother. I have hazel eyes and braces.

I am covered in tattoos and I had a few piercings. Most say I looked older than what I am, but it didn't bother me. My appearance didn't in anyway express in anyways who I truly was. I started getting tattoos right after I graduated HighSchool. It's like I went through a transition. Like I fit into where I was from now. I had a thuggish appearance but I was really a sweet little nerd.

I was born and raised in the 9th ward, a brutal part of downtown New Orleans. People died almost everyday but that was just the lifestyle that people lived. They had to fend for themselves by any means necessary. I knew lots of people who lost their lives from fooling around with the wrong people.

I was an only child and didn't have any friends until I met Asia in 5th grade while walking home from school one day. I never really paid attention to the people around me so I didn't even realize we went to the same school and lived next to each other. We became inseparable. You never seen one without the other.

In my junior year of high school my dad got a nice job at a near by power plant and he was bringing in money. He saved up enough to buy a nice house uptown and move the family. I couldn't leave Asia so I refused to go. I mean I didn't want to stay in the hood but I wasn't going to leave my bestfriend behind. Agreeing my dad bought us a nice apartment not far from their house saying it was ours as long as we payed rent on time. We both got jobs in the same mall. Her's at footlocker and mines at Victoria Secret so that we wouldn't be far from each other and we could ride with each other since she didn't get her car yet. We kept our grades up to make sure that we were in all the same classes and that we would graduate from high school to go to our dream college of LSU. Fortunately we both got full ride scholarships and Asia was even valedictorian of our class.

"Candy come on. Bitch it's Friday night and you in here being salty cause of some petty hoes at school. You better get that ass up." She said and started jumping on the bed as I laid down next to her. I mean I honestly don't pay attention to the little shit that people have to say. Cause they all talk. Now if they step to me that something different. White or not I'm out the nine and I'll beat that ass and walk away like nothing happened. They just really blew me today and I wasn't for it. I was stressed over exams, failing classes, my job, so these hoes made it ten times worse when they started with their shit. All over a damn boy that I didn't even know. I just wanted to chill and maybe watch Netflix and cuddle with my bestfriend while we talked about our lives. But no, she wants to go to a damn club. She was always the fun one while I was more into being successful.

I stood up but Asia continued jumping on the bed, "We fucking sophomores in college. We don't have time for this lil girl shit that they on CeCe. Plus someone's going to be there..." She said trailing off and winking. I rolled my eyes at the fact that she was teasing me. "Don't look at me like that. You need to stop stressing and get your life together. You too pretty and smart for these hoes." She got off the bed and same and stood directly in front of me and started staring. After having a staring match I gave up and just decided to go. Anything so she could shut up. I wasn't the party type but I might as well enjoy it

Since we shared a dorm room Asia got up and went to her room. I pulled my hair into a messy bun and went into the bathroom. I grabbed my pink Beats Pill speaker from out of the towel closet and pressed play as it connected to my phone using Bluetooth. I turned on the hot water and got in. My favorite song started playing, Ghetto by August Alsina and Rich Homie Quan. I sang along as I washed myself with my cranberry soap. Mmmmm. Damn! He is just perfect. His lips, his accent, his body. Lawwd Jesus that man is sent from above. It's hard to believe that he was so close to me at one point since he's from downtown also.

Stepping out of the shower I went over to my vanity and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I wrapped myself in a towel and walked into my room. I took out a bra and underwear set and started to lotion up. I walked into the closet and got my outfit. I decided to to wear a short, fitted, black pencil skirt, some black pump red bottoms, and a black bow bandeau. For accessories I put on some black and gold arm candy, my Michael Kors watch, gold chain, and some gold hoop earrings. As I got dressed I just thought about leaving my hair straightened. I usually dont wear makeup but I put on a little blush, some black matte lipstick, and gold eyeshadow with mascara. Finishing up I put my phone, charger, and wallet into a black clutch and headed into the living room.

"Finally." Asia said getting up and walking out ahead of me. She looked cute. She had on a tight white crop top, with some white high waisted denim shorts. She wore some white red bottoms and had on red accessories. She had her 28in Brazilian curled and had on some red lipstick that went perfect with her dark skin.

"Shut up girl." I laughed pushing her a little. We walked out to my black Tahoe and started off towards club Envy.

It was easy to get in because we went to HighSchool with Tomy, the clubs bouncer. We walked to the bar and sat down. Since I'm not much of a drinker I just got a sex on the beach and Asia ordered Ciroc and lime with sprite.

"You having fun?" Asia asked sipping her drink.

I nodded, "Yeah it's alright. Thank you for getting me to come sis. I needed this to release a little." I kissed her cheek and gave her a little side hug. This girl has never let me down. I looked at the stage and it looked like they were setting up for something. I wondered who was performing. Probably some fake rapper who think he on the come up.

"You know I gotchu my baby. Lets go by the stage, I think somebody's about to preform." We got up paying for our drinks and pushed through people to go stand in front of the stage. We started talking to some girls around us who were asking about where we brought our clothes until I froze. I couldn't speak, move, or think straight. I felt like I was paralyzed as soon as I heard that voice.

Man, I love this shit

Man, I love this shit

Man, I love this shit

Man, I love this shit

I looked at Asia and she started smiling I gave her the biggest hug I could. I am so in love with August Alsina it's unreal. I've never seen him in person. She knew exactly what I needed to cheer me up after a long week of school. I sang along to the song as I danced with Asia. Life couldn't possibly get any better than this....
