Starr's P.O.V

"Starr Starr, wake up. It's Saturday." I heard a voice say, waking me out of a glorious sleep.

I opened my eyes to see my two very best friends, Khalil and Natasha, standing over my bed.

Khalil, God's way telling me that I'm blessed. Natasha too.

I sat up, looking around my room for a reason that I should be up this early in the morning on a Saturday.

All that was found were my many posters and the 3 different 's's that were on my wall in 3 different spaces.

I cocked my head to the side, squinting I my eyes at the 2 beautiful black people standing in front of me.

"Why are you waking me up at 8:30 in the morning on a Saturday!" I said, sneaking a glance at the clock.

"There is party tonight. At Kenya's best friend's place." Khalil said, glancing down at his phone.

"That doesn't explain the 'awake at 8:30' part." I said, resigning from the squinting portion of my stare considering, the fact that I felt like my eyes were roll to the back of my head at any point of time.

"Well your fashion sense sucks, so, I got Khalil to bring me here, so we can go to the mall." Tasha said.

So here I was, in the passenger side of Khalil's rusty red 1999 Chevrolet Impala, listening to Real Love by Mary J Blige. His mom's old car. His mom's favorite song.

Just by the way Tasha was looking at me, I knew today would be an interesting day.
