Kehlani's POV

*Walking across the stage*

Nikki: I just want to say...mama I made it!!

Principal: Kehlani Lynch

Jordan: Babe! Babe! Kehlani!

Kehlani: What Jordan? Why you disturbing my peace?

Jordan: It's your turn.

Kehlani: Oh, thanks.

Pricipal: Congratulations Ms. Lynch!

Kehalni: Thank you. As your valedictorian, I just want to say I couldn't have made it through high school without my family, my best friend, Nikki, and my boyfriend Jordan. This last week of school everybody has been signing each others' yearbooks and in a few minutes we'll be saying our final goodbyes and giving hugs. We all will be going our separate ways, living our best lives. What I'm trying to say is cherish your friends because you may have walked in with ten friends but only a few real friends will walk across this stage with you. With that being said this one is for you Nikki!

*Music starts playing*

Nikki: Ayye fran, this my song!!!" Nikki yelled as she stood in her chair.

"I can't take it
I would act like she ain't shit, but I can't fake it
I can't front, you bad as fuck and you gon make it
She ain't foreign, but she twerk like she Jamaican
Girl, break ya back to this, break ya back to this
Break ya back to this, break ya back to this."

Me and Nikki sung as we twerked in front of everybody.

Pricipal: Alright that's enough Ms. Lynch"

Kehlani: Okay, okay. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, 'The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams'. You know what scratch that. Thank you google, google translate, edubirdie, quizlet, and kahoot, for getting us all through high school."

Principal: Congratulations class of 2020, you are officially high school graduates.

Nikki: That was fun, I can see this in the newspaper. Teens twerk in the middle of their graduation. *Me and Nikki laughed*

Jordan: Hey babe, you okay?

Kehlani: Yeah Jordan, why you ask?

Jordan: Oh you were just daydreaming, that's all.

Kehlani: I was just thinking about the first time we met, two years ago.

After graduation, I went home, took a shower, and changed clothes so I could get ready for my party.

Kehlani: Hello? Hey Nikki

Nikki: Girl where you at? How you be late to your own party?

Kehlani: I'm almost there.

"I bet you $20 you still at your house."

Kehlani: No, I'm not.

Nikki: You know damn well you at your house. When black people say 'they almost here' that means they still at their house.

Kehlani: Okay, fine I'm pulling off now.

Nikki: Bye girl, oh and Cameron is here and he is asking for you.*Rolls eyes*

Kehalni: Cameron? Cameron who?

Nikki: That big, tall, long head, bitch ass nigga you used to mess with in middle school and freshman year. That Cameron.


Kehlani: You didn't have to say allat. You could've said my ex. Why is he there? What does he want?"

Nikki: I don't know he said it was important."

Kehlani: Ok, I'll be there in a few.

Nikki: Mhmm, yeah ight.

*At the party*

I walked in and I instantly smelt weed and alcohol. I was kinda nervous because my ex and my boyfriend were here.

Kehlani: Hey, so yall just gone drink without me?

Cameron(Cam): Here I saved a whole bottle for you, since I knew you were gonna be late. You just gone stand there or you gonna give me hug?

Kehlani: I think I'm gonna stand right here.

Cam: Wow! I thought we were bestfriends.

Kehlani: We are. I'm just kidding, come give your bestie a hug.

As I gave Cam a big hug, I saw Jordan staring at me.

Jordan: Hey babe, who's this?

Kehlani: Jordan meet my best friend Cameron. Cameron meet my boyfriend Jordan.

Jordan: Lani never mentioned you before.*Jordan said with a smirk*

Cam: Lani? Hmm...
*Cameron said as he raised an eyebrow*

Jordan: Well it was nice to meet you Cameron, but I have to go.

Cam: Everybody calls you Lani now? I thought it was just our circle, me, Nikki, Kaiser, and Kevin.

Kehlani: I mean he is my boyfriend and you did leave. It's not that big of a deal.

Cam: I'll catch ya later Lani!
*Cam said sarcastically*

Bianca: Bitch!! It's about time you showed up! You seen Cameron?

Kehlani: Yes I saw him Bianca.
*I rolled my eyes*

Bianca: I thought Cam was fine then but now oh my gawd!! He so fine!! You dated him, what you think?

Kehlani: Ummm... he alright.

Bianca: Alright? Girl you stupid. So you don't mind if he get up in my guts tonight?

Kehlani: Hey, go for it. Do what you do best. *and that is being a hoe I mumbled*

Deep down inside I lied like hell. Bianca was right, he got taller, cut his hair, and his voice got deeper. I lowkey didn't want them to hook up. But Cameron is the definition of fine, even though I have a boyfriend.


I went over to the table and poured myself a couple of shots and chugged them straight back. Out the corner of my eye, I saw Cam staring at me. I rolled my eyes and my neck, then I finished my drink.

Cam: You know I like girls who get straight to it. *Cam whispered in my ear then walked away with a smile on his face*
