The Price We Pay

The Beginning of Hell

Jovita

'Damn' Jada says 

'I can run into the ABC store I have an fake id that works, but can one of y'all go back into Walmart we forgot blindfolds' I ask 'I'll do it' Imani says making Jada giggle 'Aw so sweet and Jo we gotta talk about that fake id' she teases while Imani runs off

Zina elbows her 'Stop' 

 'You need any money' Zina ask 'No thanks I got this' I say running into the ABC store I walk in grabbing a bottle of vodka and moscato and headed to the cashier and to my surprise it was Frank from my psychology class

'I wouldn't take you as a drinker' he says eyeing me making me look down scanning my items 'It's for a friend' I respond 'Mhmm heard that before does this friend perhaps happens to be a boy' he ask making me laugh 'Actually yes my boyfriend' I answer back as he chuckled 'Not surprised' he says 

'Can you just scan my stuff' I asked 'Already did' he laughs I stood there shocked 'Uhhh what's the price' I asked annoyed a bit 'Ma'am I need some sort of identification' he ask I was embarrassed and pulled out my id he scans it and looks at me handing it back '23.46' he says I pull out the 50 he slowly grabs the money making our hands touch and takes it making sure the money was real 'Alright Malia here's your change enjoy you're day' he says smiling I was confused at the name he called me but I decided to ignore his comment 'You too' I say waving bye I head outside and the Jeep was there 

'Damn bitch we thought something wrong was going on you took forever' Jada says making me laugh 'Sorry y'all cashier was flirting with me' I say getting in 'Hmm was he cute' Isis ask 'Yes girl' I respond earning a huff from Imani 'Jovita got everybody on her line' Jada says pulling off 'Hey y'all what does Malia mean' I asked 'Oh it means Queen in Afrikan' Jada says 'Awwww is that what he called you' Isis ask and I nod 'Who cares' Imani says 

'Jealous much' Jada teases 'No I'm not if I really wanted Jovita I could talk to her way better than the cashier' Imani argues making me laugh a bit 'I'm sorry Imani I don't go that way' I tell her nicely 'Yet you don't' she smirks looking out the mirror I make a weird face at Isis and we laugh heading back to campus

'So what should we do now' Jada ask as we approach her room 'I guess we wait until they text us' I respond pulling out my laptop to do some homework 'Check your phone' Zina says

ARRIVE AT THIS LOCATION AT 930 don't be late and have everything you need.

'I'm scared' Imani says 'Seriously same' Isis says 'Where the hell is Elesha' Jada complained 'Hopefully she's on her way soon' I say getting a bit nervous as well

Jovita

We was heading in the car when we heard Elesha 'I'm here' she says out of breathe I hand her the bag of clothes 'Good because you was about to get left' Jada says we all get in the car 'Okay yall lets go' Zina says I'm not gonna lie I was legit nervous I texted Aaron

On my way to set I'm scared wish you was with me 😭

Aaron💕: I love you and you got this okay mind over matter Jo Jo, text me when it's over

'Who we texting' Imani ask I smiled 'My boo that's all' I say and she rolls her eyes 'Awww how long have y'all been dating" Isis asked 

'5 going on 6 months I met him fall semester, he's a kappa' I say 'Oh girl is his brothers single because I need me one of them' Jada says making us laugh 'I'll ask him later hun I gotchu' I say making her laugh 

'I'll ask him later hun I gotchu' I say making her laugh 'Aw shit we're here' Zina says 'Bet let me text them' Elesha says as she pulls out her phone we waited and waited
