6:00 PM

Tonight was the Winterfest dance. The girls were so excited. Nia couldn't wait to get ready so Trey could see her in her dress.

"Bitch, I'on know if Trey gon be able to keep his hands off you in that dress". Anaya smirked as she applied her eyeliner.

"Well, he's gonna have to. Until I decide I'm ready to take him back after all the bullshit he put me through". Nia rolled her eyes.

"I just know that I wanna win Icy Queen. They say you and somebody else get a weekend in a Calabasas hotel for two days and two nights". Jameer cheered.

"Bitch now I wanna win". Anaya chuckled.

"Same". Nia agreed.

They finished their makeup and did their hair. 

"Yaas lets get in these dresses". Nia giggled.

They got in their dresses and took a lot of pictures.

"Yaas we the baddest bitches. I don't care what anybody got to say". Nia posted their pictures on her snap.

"The boys said they gon meet us here so let's go downstairs". Jameer checked her phone.

The three went downstairs and into the living room where Nia's Mom was watching Basketball Wives.

"Ma I thought chu stopped watching this". Nia was amused at the sight.

"I did, once I met your Father. But since he ain't here to tell me how God didn't intend on us watching these worldly shows I figured I would pick back up and you know something, that damn Jen get on my nerves". Her Mom replied making all three girls laugh.

The doorbell rang and it was Kyle and Gotti.

"Hey! Y'all look so cute". Nia hugged them both.

Kyle had on an all white suit with a light grey pocket square while Gotti had on a light grey suit with a white pocket square.

"Yes. Thanks to me". Gotti laughed.

"So I wanted to wear matching suits, can you really penalize me forever". Gotti rolled his eyes as they went into the living room.

"Did Boston say what time he was coming?". Nia asked walking into the living room.

"He said he is on his way". Jameer replied.

They sat down and waited for Boston and Trey to show up.

8:46 PM

The dance had started at eight and everybody was still waiting on Boston and Trey. Jameer had called Boston for the twenty-third time and his phone had gone straight to voicemail.

"You know what, I don't care anymore, we're leaving them". Anaya stood up.

"Fine. Let's go". Jameer stood up.

They all walked toward the door and opened it just as Boston was about to knock.

"Where da hell you been". Jameer pushed her way toward Boston.

"My car broke down and then I called Triple A and then my phone died. That's why I'm so late and that's why I couldn't answer the phone". Boston explained.

"Ok, you're forgiven. But where the hell is Trey?". Nia frowned.

"He told me he was already here". Boston replied making Nia's blood boil.

"Oh my God, he really standing her up?". Anaya was shocked.

"You know what, I did not get this dressed up just to let Trey's bum ass ruin my night. Let's go". Nia waved it off.

They got into the cars and went to school.

They arrived ten minutes later and could here Jingle Bells playing outside. 

"Corny ass music". Anaya rolled her eyes.

"Calm down and let's go". Jameer giggled.

They went inside and the place was decorated with fake snow and snowflakes. There was a DJ playing Mo Bamba and everybody was dancing.

The girls went to go dance while the guys went to get drinks.

"I'm so sick of this damn song I'on even wanna dance to it no mo". Anaya groaned.

"Girl I don't care how long they play Mo Bamba I can dance to it all night". Nia continued dancing to it.

The guys brought their drinks and some food for them.

"Awww y'all so sweet but if I eat anything this dress gon buss open like a can of Pillsbury dough". Nia joked making everybody laugh.

They continued dancing together in their group and drinking and talking over the music.

Make sure you have voted, you can vote out in the hallway, and you have five minutes to vote and we will come back and announce the winners". Carmen the SGA leader announced.

"Oh my God y'all I'm so excited". Nia jumped up and down.

They went out in the hallway and started voting.

Jameer voted for Nia, Anaya voted for Jameer as much as she wanted to vote for herself, Nia voted for Anaya, Kyle voted for Nia, and Gotti voted for Nia.

As for the King section, everybody just decided to vote for Boston.

They went back in just in time for the results.

"Ok everyone, our Icy Queen for this year's Winterfest is...Nia Williamson!". Carmen cheered.

Nia was so happy. Yes, Trey stood her up but she still got two days and two nights at a hotel in Calabasas.

"And our Icy King for this year's Winterfest is...Gotti Hendrix! Congratulations you two and here is your voucher for the hotel stay and enjoy". Carmen walked off stage.

"Nia I wouldn't feel right taking the voucher so here. You take the room". Gotti handed her the voucher.

"Thank you so much Gotti". Nia hugged him as the crowd cheered.

They walked off stage going back to their friends.

"So bitch who you taking to Calabasas?". Anaya questioned.

Nia knew just the person.
