Life Is Short

01.

It was an ordinary Friday. Jazmynn laid in her bed scrolling through her Snapchat messages, trying to respond to the important ones first. Her nails softly tapped against the screen as she typed quickly.

Her room door opens. "I can hear them shits from the kitchen, dawg. This how I knew you were finally awake." Her best friend said entering without knocking.

She looks up and laughs. "First of all, a bitch coulda been booty butt nekkit, how you just gonna walk in? Second, I been up but I just now got on my phone thank you very much." She responded.

"Well excuse me, Miss. I-Don't-Come-Out-Of-My-Room-On-Friday-Morning. Anywaaays, biiitch.."

Jazmynn shook her head at her best friend and smiled knowing she had some type of idea in her head. "Uh-oh.. What are plotting on today, Sevyn?"

"I was thinkiiiing," she said popping her tongue. "We should go to a concert tonight."

Jazmynn raises an eyebrow. "Which one? There's like three going on." She continued scrolling on her phone and replying to messages. "Everybody wants us to host tonight."

"Auntee Ski." Sevyn says with a cheesy smile on her face. Jazmynn looked up at her and tilted her head and laughed.

"Ski Mask The muthafuckin Slump God?! SAY LESS." Jazmynn stood up and started walking towards her closet. "Wait.. When did he become an auntie?!"

"Das my auntee." Sevyn said walking out the room.

The mall was packed as per usual on a Friday. Jazmynn insisted on getting something new to wear for the concert because she felt all her other clothes were too mediocre. As they were walking, she made a sharp turn into the large Supreme store, getting excited instantly. Sevyn noticed a small group of people in one part of the store near the registers but didn't pay it too much mind. She stood next to her best friend as she shopped and looked at different items in the store until she was sent on a mission.

"Can you help me look for the pink fanny pack please?" Jazmynn begged.

Sevyn nodded and started scanning through the store until she noticed a few bright pink things on the other side of the store where all the people were huddled. She walked around them and her eyes landed on the pink fanny pack that her best friend wanted. She walked over to the rack and grabbed the fanny pack at the same time that someone else did.

"Oh nah." She shook her head. "You definitely can't have this one. My best friend will cause a scene in this whole store if she doesn't get this right now." Sevyn said tugging on the bag.

"Too bad I don't give a fuck. This fanny pack is fire. I'm getting this." A raspy voice says laughing.

Sevyn furrowed her eyebrows at the voice. Why does this person sound familiar? She looked up and her eyes got big. "OH NAH." She said again. "I'm really in here debating over a pink fanny pack with Auntee Ski."

"Who?" He replied raising an eyebrow.

She stared at him with a straight face for a moment creating an awkward silence.

"So, I'll be taking this now." She said trying to walk away with the fanny pack.

Ski tugged on the fanny pack lightly pulling her back. "You thought. Who's your friend that wants this fanny pack?"

Sevyn glanced around the store looking for Jazmynn. "She's over there." She pointed her friend out looking at the headbands.

He looked at her for a few moments. "Aight, you can take it.. Only cause she kinda cute." He smirked. "What's her na-"

Before he could finish his question, Sevyn walked off and went back to towards Jazmynn.

"Here. You better be grateful because it was the last one and I almost had to beat someones ass for this." She said handing the fanny pack to her best friend.

Jazmynn's eyes lit up, excited that her friend found the item she wanted. "Who ass you almost beat?"

"Auntee Ski." She rolled her eyes. "That durag wearing ass nigga. Idk why he wanted a pink fanny pack anyways."

"Aun- What?! Ski?" Jazmynn answered confused. "Where the the fu..?"

Sevyn pointed towards the registers where Ski and some others, including DJ Scheme were. They all were buying the stuff they picked up from the store getting ready to head out.

"Oh wow, he really is in here." She said calmly. "Thanks for finding it though. But Sev, I'm getting a lot of messages about us hosting tonight. I don't really feel like it though."

"Host what and where?" Sevyn asked.

Jazmynn shrugged. "Shit, I don't know but like 3 clubs have hit me up already."

"Eh, im good on hosting tonight. We got a whole concert we're going to. We don't have time to set that shit up."

"Right. Come on, ima but this real quick and we can go." Jazmynn said just as Ski and his small entourage walked out the door. She glanced at them and noticed Ski looking at her but didn't think much of it. She went up to the register and bought her fanny pack and they left shortly after.
