the girl with the tattoo .

chapter five .

Well, a couple weeks have passed since my audition at Candy Rain and I'm kinda nervous because I haven't heard back from Lorenzo or Derianna yet.

So far I've been doing okay, taking my meds, and I've made sure to stay in contact with my family whenever I need something. Rent is coming up soon for this month and I don't wanna ask my aunt to pay it again because I told her I would get a job soon. I had been thinking about asking Trey if I could sell for him. And yes I know what you're thinking: "Sell what??". Trey sells weed on the low and he said if I deal for him I can keep some of the money. I just may have to do it.

Meanwhile, I've been sitting here listening to my favorite Brent Faiyaz album. As I laid my head down, I slowly drifted off into a deep sleep.

Morning rolled around and I was awakened by a loud knocking at my door. I look at the clock on my nightstand. It read "7:30". I quickly put on a hoodie and checked to see who was at the door. I looked out of the peephole, and there stood a tall, handsome, brownskinned boy. His face was familiar but I couldn't put my finger on who he was.

I opened the door. "Uh, can I help you with something?" I asked, yawning mid sentence. "Shit he must have given me the wrong apartment number." he mumbled to himself. "I'm looking for Apartment 808" he gave me an awkward smile, to which I returned.

"Apartment 808?" I thought to myself. That's Trey's apartment and I knew just what the boy at my door was going there for. "You lookin' for Trey?" I asked quietly. "Yeah, you know him?" As he spoke, I studied the boy's face. He was so fucking good looking. I think he caught me staring at him once or twice. I snapped out of my thought and spoke back to him. "I can take you to him if you want." I smiled at him a bit, watching him smile back. "Yeah, that would be nice." he said.

I slipped on my slides before walking out the door. As we walked we talked to each othet some more. "What's your name?" he asked. "I'm Octavia, and you?" "My name is Javon, nice to meet you Octavia." he said with that sweet smile of his. "Nice to meet you too."

We finally reached Trey's door and I knocked on it in a specific pattern so he would know it was me. Trey answered the door and look surprised when he saw me standing there with Javon. "Tavia Wavia, what you doing here shorty?" he asked before dapping Javon up. I rolled my eyes. "Next time you have customers, make you send them to the right apartment." I said, sneering at him.

Trey hugged me tight and pat my head just to piss me off because he knew I hated it when he did that. "My bad shorty, I got you next time." he said before leading Javon into his apartment. I waved to them both before I walked back to my apartment.
