my summer bullshit.

sleep is for the weak./ 408

July 23/ 10:38pm/ 2014
I'm just getting out of the shower and in desperate need of shampoo and conditioner. I wasn't surprised when I didn't find any on the hotel counter, because this room didn't even have towels and momma Donna had to go on an adventure to the lobby, which also responded with "sorry, we out of towels"
kayin had to leave before we all showered, which was a relief because I brought the skimpiest pair of pjs I had cause they were cute and shit. I didn't think kayin would be there so I basically freaked out when he planted his ass on the bed like he planned on staying.
I came from the bathroom with wet and chlorine damaged hair.
The reason I came out is because I heard Samia curse really loud, so I wanted to know what the hell was going on.
I also couldn't breathe because the shower was enclosing me with steam and I needed to have a breathe of fresh oxygen.
When I walked into the small corridor that connected the bathroom to the actual room, I saw Samia, Taja, and Alicsa sitting on the bed talking, meraiah in the corner infront of a mirror taking selfies, and momma Donna was gone.
"Where the fuck did your mom go?"
*samia shrugs shoulders, goes back to phone*
I stood there without a response or oxygen from the intense humidity that was now filling the corridor, dripping fruit scented soapy water on the floor.
I walked back into the bathroom and dried off, then put on my oscar the grouch tank top with the lacy trim, and my black, green and white shorts that went along with it.
I felt my hair once again and was instantly depressed by how dry and brittle it felt, even though it was wet.
This is when I went on a frantic search through the drawers and finally came across a half used shampoo and conditioner with Chinese writing scrawled across the front of it.
I sniffed it, but through the cap, there was really no scent coming through.
so I over indulged in the shampoo on my scalp.
I rubbed it in and enjoyed the feeling of the chemicals melting from my hair.
While I was rubbing it in, I realized I was still fully clothed, and that I legitimately did not feel like getting back into the shower.
So I turned on the sink and continued to lather the mixture from scalp to tip.
I still couldn't smell the shampoo, which i found weird, but i just thought, maybe it was scent less ?
I was wrong.
I rinsed out the shampoo while hunched over the sink vanity, only to be hit by the strong scent of cut grass all at one time
I sprung up and scratched my nose quickly
Firstly, nature messes with my sinuses
Secondly, why the hell was the smell of clean cut yard be smacking me in the middle of the hotel?
I walked out of the bathroom to see where the smell was coming from, but then I realized that it was this bitch ass Chinese shampoo (don't get me wrong, I love Asians of all types, but get your hair care game together bruh)
I walked over to Taja to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.
I bent all the way over, considering Taja is like 4'10, to let her smell my hair.
she replied "lawn mowers?"
and then I started laughing.
I went into the bathroom to finish rinsing, cause it was too late by now, I also coated my hair in the conditioner, because without it I would've woke up bald.
after everyone else showered, we did the most childish shit ever.
First, we jumped from bed to bed, playing "don't touch the lava"
it was fun until I bumped my head into the ceiling.
nobody saw it, but that's how I knew it was time to stop.
I plopped down onto the bed and picked up one of the body pillows and pretended I was a bot in call of duty, with my choice weapon of a KSG.
apparently Samia's choice weapon is a SMR, because she kept making one shot with extreme blow back, and Taja's is some kind of weird sounding assault rifle.
We had an entire pillow gun fight for at least ten minutes, before breaking into an insane, painful, and cliche pillow fight
It was all fun and games until Samia smacked me in my jaw with a hard ass pillow and the inside of my cheek starts bleeding.
but I didn't tell them that. I just sat down and stopped talking for a while
then we chilled and texted
then we twerked
then we bust out the nail kit
I did everyone's nails except Samia's, and she was the birthday girl.
everyone wanted almond shape except Alicsa, she wanted short squares.
meraiah went hipster and got black.
Taja went ghetto and got mint green and peach
Alicsa went classy and got purple and white.
when we were in the midst of nails, I saw that 12:00 was quickly approaching, so I told Taja to hold on a moment so I could go post Samia's happy birthday post on instagram.
I knew she would love it haha
Here it is

along with a collage of her.
12:00am/ July 24 / Samia's birthday
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMIA"
I yelled out, being the first to declare her birthday and also scaring everyone in the room.
I started singing happy birthday to her. Alicsa joined in, then Taja, and beautiful disaster was back together singing to our best friend. We sang in the most beautiful voices we had and I hope we made Samia feel good.
Her mom came in shortly after that, and the whole time she was gone we all kept saying "I hope she stays away because with her in here, we will be bored and talking about school and shit"
But then she marched in with towels and candles and a lighter and a pallet for whoever it was that was gonna sleep on the floor
Momma Donna you a lil late with the towels bruh.
We stuffed the candles in Samia's birthday cupcakes and legit sang her a song with her mom and everything.
We sang the normal, the black, and the finale
And then we bust into the cupcakes.
Meraiah I'm still looking for you and that surprise selfie you took of me with that mouth full of cupcake -_-
We ate shit loads of chips, cookies, drank juice, floor was covered in nail shavings... We just messed everything up.
Then, Samia's mom suggested that we go eat our cupcakes and snacks in the lobby
This is where the fun starts.
I put on Alicsas big sweatshirt and jean shorts bc I wasn't comfortable walking around in the clothes I had on
We went to the elevator and immediately started exploring.
We punched in the 4 button, which was the highest floor, and the elevator closed slowly.
We had small talk in there, until the door squeaked open signifying our arrival to our destination, and literally scared the living satan out of me.
The fourth floor of the hotel was southern 1820's themed, which was extremely un expected, because of the modern look of the down stairs. It almost looked like the inside of a slave owners house. The walls were deep brown, with beige-yellow trim, the detail of it was flesh cut and old looking. The curtains were old and dusty and dense with the voices from previous guests.
we slowly crept from the elevator to be greeted with a mirror directly ahead and a phone. I looked at my curly frizzy hair in the mirror and observed my face.
I picked up the phone out of curiosity, and began punching in numbers.
I tried to call Isaiah, I wanted to say I talked to someone from a hotel phone and I wanted it to be him.
When I hit the first number, I was interrupted by the busy signal, and then the busy signal was interrupted by an angry man who screamed "GET OFF THIS PHONE IT DOESNT DO OUTGOING CALLS"
I slammed the phone down and backed up. I looked around and all of my friends had already walked away and were half down the extremely dark hallway.
I ran up behind them and continued down the hall that was eerie for some reason.
We walked and observed the heavy looking doors and low set ceilings.
We were so busy watching the design that when we came to the end of the hall, we were surprised by the window.
I opened the blinds and looked down, to the moving high way lights and my breath was taken from astonishing view.
I looked over and saw Samia and Taja slamming in the elevator button to go back down the 3rd floor.
The elevator took forever to open, which caused all of my friends to try to walk to the other elevator on the side we came in from.
being the weird ass superstitious girl I am, I backed up and sat in the windowsill and waited on the 'vator to open
as they were just turning around to walk off, the contraption dinged to life and slowly creaked open with the eeriest eeeeeeeeek you'd ever hear.
for some reason, this floor of the hotel felt like home to me.
I looked at my friends with a smirk.
They sped up and walked to the other end to escape this weird elevator, so I followed because I didn't want to be lost if one of us reached the next floor before the other.
then it would be like human scooby doo.
We got in and punched the three button.
when the elevator opened, everyone was okay with this appearance, except me.
It was sterile, white... almost hospital looking.
to everyone else, it was boring, but to me, it was scary
I hate hospitals and the cold air and the smell of no smell and cleaning supplies.
they freak me out.
don't judge when I say this, but I can feel the souls of the forgotten in those places, and I hate them.
they walked out of the elevator fearlessly, but I was reluctant to even set foot in this mental asylum look alike.
all the doors and walls were blank.
no character and expression to this floor whatsoever and that legit scared me to the core.
I wanted to leave. I wanted to leave just like old people wanted to go home from the hospital. I wanted to go back to a place with bright colors and an identifiable smell.
that's exactly what the second floor have me.
It looked like we'd entered the Caribbean itself.
there were vibrant oranges and yellows and silent reds that only spoke when acknowledged. beautiful island themed trim and shiny gold doorknobs.
I wanted to dance here. I wanted to hear the sound of the colors and move to their unique rhythm.
fuck you, I was on vacation.
but then I noticed the electronic devices that invaded the ceilings.
Motion sensors.
They felt us.
we traveled to the end of the hall and got back into the elevator.
We went back up to the fourth floor and walked. We took pictures.
We came across this room that had old allergen masked leather chairs, a crooked lamp, wooden tables, old rugs, aged curtains that smelled of cigarette smoke and conversations, and a window that also allowed a view of the 2 am high way.
We went back to the main floor because we didn't think it would be suitable to sit in there just yet.
I got on the computer and opened wattpad. I began typing "learning a little" and stuffed my headphones into the monitor.
I opened YouTube bc music and writing.
"Twenty one pilots-guns for hands"
I wrote two chapters, unbothered by my friends sitting behind me on the modern chunk furniture watching me write.
I finished my chapters and got up.
We rushed into the elevator with a weird guy who told us that if he had enough space in his room, we could all come in and hang out.
He asked us all where we were from and a lot of personal info.
He was on the fourth floor.
Taja and meraiah went back later to the room to get meraiah's phone charger
Me, Samia, and Alicsa stayed on the fourth floor.
We invited Shemor to come back because he could get his moms car and get here quick.
while he was driving, I had a premonition.
what if he wrecks trying to sneak over to see us? what if the last memory we have of him is "ok I'm on my way"
That would tear me apart.
Samia got worried.
But not as worried as Alicsa because about 25 minutes had passed and Taja and Meraiah weren't back yet
after a while, Meraiah text us all like "this guy told is we had to go back into our room so we are just sitting outside the hotel room"
why don't they just go in the elevator on the other side?
it took them like 15 minutes for get away from the guy, and when they got up there, they had shemor with them.
we sat in that room for a good hour just talking and listening to music before I got up and laid on shemor's back.
I was kinda playing in his hair when the guy walked into the room and asked us how old we were.
we all claimed 17 quickly.
what? We all could fit it.. 'Cept Taja.
if she stays sitting it's ok but other than that... No
but he asked us why we were there and I told him momma Donna was sleeping and we couldn't come back until we were ready to sleep.
"This isn't a party room" he says, as he forced us to go to the lobby
We got back into the elevator and went to the lobby until Shemor had to leave.
It was about 5:47 am when he left. I didn't want him to drive tired, but he had to.
We sat in the lobby for a few more minutes before meraiah and Samia declared it was time to go to sleep. They got up and went to the room, but what they didn't know, is that Alicsa had the room key.
We held it because we didn't want them to leave.
But Samia just went to the guy behind the counter and god another key.
They went into the room for 20 minutes before me, Taja, and Ali got up and went in.
I squeezed into the bed with Samia and meraiah, Alicsa got on the floor pallet, and Taja got into the bed with momma Donna.
We got into a group chat on kik and literally laid in there laughing loud and whispering for like 30 minutes until momma Donna got pissed off and woke up.
We still laughed after, just a lot quieter. Eventually, everyone went to sleep except me.
I got bored of the silence and called up Isaiah.
We started talking and it never fails.
I was almost instantly sleeping.
I woke up occasionally to add things to the conversations that didn't make sense because I was half sleeping.
I didn't realize how much I was cursing.
Momma Donna woke up and asked me to leave the room because I was on the phone disturbing people.
I got up and walked out. I told Isaiah what was going on. He was ok with me hanging up....
I crept back into the room and got back into the bed
I fell asleep shortly after.
