I was in my new car with my cousins Faith, Nichelle, Micah, and Tia. We were riding to the new City Girls album since they wanted to listen to hoodrat music. My uncle Shawn thought it would be a good idea for JaMar to drive Khyra around. Our whole family liked him so I knew it wasn't going to be hard for them to be on his side. We were on our way to the hotel. I had to give Khyra her gift since we didn't have time to exchange gifts or open our other gifts. I was ready to have fun with my girls since it's been a while since we were all together. Although none of us drunk underage we were going to have some virgin drinks and doing what teenage girls did. After 5 more minutes of driving we were pulling up to the Embassy Suites hotel. The other cars pulled up within the same minute and we all got out and followed my mom inside. We went straight to the elevators. We all piled in and rode it to the floor we were staying on. Mom took her time opening the room door and we impatiently waited. After she opened it we rushed inside and seen it decorated nicely. Mom had a Love Pink set up. There were 17 balloons; black, pink, silver, and clear with different polka dots. She had 10 Victoria Secret bags that I'm guessing were take home gifts for the girls and our aunts. She had a small candy table with different treats that were customized with our pictures on there. It was black confetti everywhere. Khyra went up and hugged mom and I went and joined in on their hug. Mom did her thing with this and we couldn't be more happy.

Mom had bought all of us matching pajamas and we went in the room to change so when we came back out we could take pictures before our mom and aunts went to their room to have girl time. Tiffany took at least 50 pictures of us being silly before they left. Our other friends were on their way so our mom and them left but we decided to let Khyler stay for a while. Kyndall stayed over our grandparents house with our younger cousins. We turned on some music and pulled out the UNO. Kameron kept trying to talk to our friend Michelle and we think she was trying to entertain him but thought we were going to say something. Kameron was a year younger so we didn't care just as long as they kept it PG13. JaMar walked up to me and let me know his friends were coming because they were his ride home but wanted to know if it was okay for them to stay for a little bit since he was enjoying the view of Khyra. I didn't care so I shrugged and went back to where they were pulling out more games. We all decided to play dare jenga. Every piece you pulled you had to do a dare. I heard knocking on the door and it seemed like no one was going to answer it so I got up and went to it. I opened the door and seen JaMar friend from the mall and 2 other boys. I stepped aside after they spoke but the one from the mall seemed to have been caught in a daze. I left him standing there and went back to where everyone else was and joined in on the conversation. I seen JaMar and Khyra was missing from the circle and figured I'd ask her about it tomorrow. For the next 2 hours we all talked, ate, joked, danced and took pictures. It was going on 1 in the morning when mom came knocking letting us know it was time for the boys to leave. I knew she wanted us to have some freedom since she allowed them to stay in the room for so long but she also knew how teenagers were together. After we said our goodbyes I went to the bathroom to do my nightly routine. Although my face was clear and blemish free I liked to keep it moisturized because I refused to allow my skin to look bad. While I was in there Khyra came in looking tired. "Sooooooooo where did you and JaMar go?" I couldn't wait until tomorrow to be nosey. She tried to play like she didn't hear me so I stopped and faced her with a impatient look. She knew I wasn't going to give up so she had no choice. "He said he wanted to talk. We went into the room and he asked me if I wanted to be his best friend. He said he got some good advice from you and uncle Shawn. I don't mind him being my friend just as long as he don't cross his boundaries. I'm not ready for a relationship and I need him to understand that." I just nodded. I was just glad she was giving it a chance.

Once we were done we went into the room that had a big king sized bed. Since it was only 6 of us staying in the hotel since Kameron went to JaMar's house, we all piled into the bed. Me and my cousins were used to sleeping like this since we all used to be piled into a bed over our grandparents house. We weren't even sleepy so we decided to go live on Instagram when Kameron sent us a request. Once we accepted he started cracking jokes. We were on live with him for not even 5 minutes when the girl JaMar used to go with came on there and started throwing shady comments. She was so pressed to argue that all we could do was laugh. JaMar even came on there, confessing his like for Khyra which made the girl exit off immediately. We knew her pride was hurt because she swore her and JaMar was getting back together. Guess not sis. After we cracked more jokes we all decided to meet back up tomorrow at the house to go somewhere. I was sad twin couldn't go but she had to go make them coins. I was getting sleepy so I turned on my stomach and was dozing off until I heard them laughing. I was too sleepy to even turn around so I just put the pillow over my head and fell asleep. I'd figure out tomorrow.
