chapter 8

"Yeah Jah, what is it?"

"I just- I was wondering if you wanted to go to Homecoming with me. As friends though!" He then gave me a flower.

"Uh"

"I don't really have any other girl friends at this school. I understand if you say no.

"I'd love to Jah."

"Wait, really?"

"Yeah." I got out of my chair and accepted the pink flower.

He then bent down and hugged me. "Thanks Bianca, you won't regret it I promise. Also do you mind if Stokeley comes?"

I then glanced at his friend hiding by the corner. He noticed I notice him and waves.

"Sure."

"Alright, see you Friday Bianca." He then smiles and walks back to his table.

"SIS!" Maria screams.

"What?"

"That boy asked you out!"

"Not really, we are going to the dance as friends and he's bringing his best friend along. I'd hardly call it a date."

"Betttt."

-after school-

"So Maria, who you going to homecoming with?"

"I don't know, I like Ty, but Josh asked me and he's cute I guess so maybe him."

"Josh is really sweet and he actually has a future, I'd go with him."

"So what? It's just high school Bianca, I don't know if I'm going to a dance with someone based on their future." She laughs.

I sigh, then head into our neighborhood. "I don't know. My uncle got some girl pregnant when he was 17 and has been messed up ever since, I'm always stressed about the future because of everything he did to ruin his."

"But you're different. Bianca we are kids, take some chances. Worry about things when you're an adult." She hugs me. "I worry about you a lot."

-the night before the dance-

"I don't know Ny, this dress is too tight".

She shook her head. "It looks good though. And I wanna be matching."

"You know I don't look good in purple."

"Nah you look like a whole meal. Get it."

I started to take the dress off and get changed back into my t shirt and joggers. "I'm not feeling this place, let's go to an actual dress store."

We made our way out of the department store and walked downtown to visit this place called Olivia's. They had a reputation for expensive dresses but I wanted to look good for homecoming. Not because of Jahseh though.

"Hi, welcome to Olivia's!" A tall, red haired woman greeted. "If you need any help call me over! My names Sandy by the way."

We made our way over to the semi formal dresses. We browsed through dress after dress, until Nyla's eye finally caught a pretty lilac A-line dress. "This would look good on you. Let's please twinnnn."

^^Nylas Dress^^

"Nah, I'm finna be my own person. Plus that dress wouldn't look good on me, you know I don't like purple. I've said it what, 80 times?"

"Fine, but I'm getting it."

For about an hour I kept looking through the racks, trying on dresses until eventually I also found the perfect one. It was cute and simple yet elegant and I loved it. It was a bright red too which I knew I looked good in.

^^Biancas Dress^^

"Ny I love this!"

"Does it fit?"

I slipped it on over my joggers. Nyla zipped it in the back.

"Damn! You look fine as hell."

"I'm getting this one."
