Bad News

Fashionably Late

The next morning when Dice woke up she was happy. Not only did she finally lose her virginity, but she lost it to an older guy. The boy she secretly and her sister had a crush on for years. She'd have something to tell her friends at school. She got up and took her time to get dressed. Once in the shower, she replayed the night over in her head. It was there she remembered Darrell told her he would pick her up from school the next day. Excited, she decided to wear an outfit that her sister had bought her for her birthday. She wore a white and gold blouse, a khaki tennis skirt, a furry powder pink cropped Chanel vest and a pair of her own powder pink Kimobi booties. This was new. Dice's wardrobe usually consisted of Jeans, Tees and Sneakers. She thought she should up her game since her recent rendezvous. After she gotten dressed she picked up her phone to call her best friend Diamond.

"Did you do it?" Dime yelped.

"Damn, good morning to you too nosey!" Dice shot back.

"Ha ha ha, bitch did you do it or not?"

"Of course I did, finally!"

"So, how was it?"

"It was beyond my expectations"

"Oole girl, he got you! Angel gon be mad as fuck!"

"I don't care how she feels. She should've been said something to him."

"Okay give me the scoop in school" Dime said.

"Aite, meet you at the door in ten?"

Dice hangs up the phone and Angel walks into her room.

"Do you need a ride to school?" she asks.

"Yes" Dice said.

"Well come on, I'm not waiting!" Angel yelled.

Dice ignored her and asked, "Did you stay out all night?" Grabbing her purse.

"Shut up Dice and you better not tell."

Dice smirks at her sister's dismay and the thought of her sister finding out that she had Darrell and not her.

Angel rolled her eyes and caught a glimpse of Dice's outfit as she walked out of her bathroom.

"Who are you trying to get cute for? I hope it isn't any lames. Let me find out Little Dicey is trying to finally get a man!" Angel teased.

Dice burst into laughter and brushed it off.

They got to school just in time and as soon as they walked the halls, the bell rang and everyone swarmed into the hallway and circle around them. Surprisingly, all eyes were on Dice and Angel didn't like it. Angel walked away angrily halfway wishing a guy would ask what was wrong. She was the popular one and Dice was just her younger sister.

In class, no one paid attention to the teacher. Everyone wanted to know what was up with Dice. Angel was pissed. Not only did her younger sister get moved up a grade, she was also stealing her thunder. For the first time she was able to do her work ahead of everyone. All the guys sat around Dice's table and asking her if she was single, if they could take her out, or if she wanted to come over their house after school. Dice never answered any of their questions, she just sat there and smiled thinking about Darrell.

After class, everybody swarmed the halls. Dice and Dime walked toward the gym for an assembly. A group of people walked behind them laughing. Dice turned around and it was Angel and her friends.

Angel walked over and loudly said, "hey sis, I hope you're not wearing those granny panties today 'cause I know you're getting some today from one of these lames!"

The entire hall burst into laughter. Dice was humiliated. She couldn't believe Angel was that jealous. Kalvin, the schools point guard and Angel's ex walked over and defended Dice.

"Shut up AG. You're just hating because she stole your shine today. You girls kill me, so do you niggas! She was always cute but ya'll only see her 'cause she got on a skirt and heels?" He said smiling at Dice.

Everyone fell quiet and walked to the assembly. Dice was satisfied and walked in the gym.

At lunch, Dice was able to talk with Diamond one on one.

"Girl, give me the details!" Dime squealed.

"Okay, okay, well..."

"Get to the good shit DAMN!" Dime interrupted.

"Damn bitch, anyway, he came over looking so good, smelling so good, ooh feeling so good. He wanted me to strip for him..."

"AND?" Dime squealed.

"And bitch, I did!" Dice snapped.

"Hey Ma, what's good with you?" A tall guy walked over and asked Dice.

"Excuse me, But don't you see us, talking?" Dime said waving her finger back and forth from her to Dice.

"Oh my bad I was just trying to see what was up with lil' cute jawn right here. You gotta man pretty?"

"Dice and Dime looked at him in disgust as he sloppily bit into his apple and talked with his mouth full."

"Yes I do, .... fortunately!"

The girls burst into laughter slapping hands as tall guy walked away in defeat.

"Anyway, before we were rudely interrupted... What song did you strip to?" Dime questioned.

"Trading Places." Dice said.

"You little whore!  What else happened?" Dime squealed.

"I climbed on top of him and we kissed, we kissed so mmm. Girl, he licked me from my head to my toes. It was like he knew my body. He had my ass smoking. Then he made love to me. That wasn't just sex." Dice said shaking.

"Oole girl, that's some freaky shit!" Dime joked.

They laughed and finished up their lunch.

All day Dice was getting the attention and it was eating Angel up. Even her pervert History teacher had all eyes on her. He asked her if she needed help after class and of course she declined. At the end of the day all the guys were asking Dice if she needed a ride or if they can walk her home. She declined all. She spotted Dime and Angel over in the parking lot with a few other people surrounding a car. Dice walked over and saw it was Darrell. Angel was leaning over the car flirting with him as usual. Dice looked at Dime and smiled.

"So lil sis did you find you a lame little boyfriend today? I know that's why you tryna get cute. What, you tired of being Virgin Mary huh?" Angel teased.

Everyone burst into laughter again but it didn't faze Dice at all. She looked at Darrell and he licked his lips and winked.

"Everybody shut up! She does have a boyfriend, why the fuck do you think I came up here?"

Dice looked at Dime and smiled then at Angel and smirked.

"See AG", Dice teased, "I do have a man and unfortunately I'm not a Virgin Mary nor do I want any of these "lames". They're for you.."

"That's right baby" Darrell said as Dice climbed into the car.

Angel's mouth swung open.

Darrell kissed Dice and pulled out of the parking lot speeding out onto Port Blvd.
