~Maimouna's POV~
I look up at Prosper then ask," Which table do we sit at?"
He looks at me confused." Umm, regular table.
I let out a giggle," No, I mean like......." I explain to him the different tables for different social statuses. When he looks like he understands I ask again," Which table do we sit at."
"Oh, we're the......" He takes time to think and when finally get an idea he reply's," We're the interracial socialites."
"What are the interracial socialites?" I asked in a confused tone.
"Okay, let me explain. We're the interracial socialites because....." Prosper explained that they were the interracial socialites because they were friends with everyone and they were all different races." And that's the reason we're the interracial socialites."
"Okay, you guys can stop talking we reached the lunch line." I couldn't help but sense some jealousy from Hakeem in his tone. Ohhh, I think someone has a crush on me.
We go to the lunch line to buy our lunch and when we are done we arrived at a table with ten seats, seven of them are already taken. Hakeem, Prosper and I sat on the three available seats. Prosper sits on my right and Hakeem sits on my left. I guess you can say Prosper is my right-hand man. (pun intended)
"Hi, guys. This is Maimouna," I waved so people know it's me," and she will be sitting with us."Hakeem looks at me and starts to introduce everyone." This is Kamila and Rodrigo they are dating and...."
"Kamila, I'm sorry! I hugged her cause she was my cousin," I'm assuming is Rodrigo said in a very Hispanic accent.
"No, Rodrigo. You are always breaking my heart," the person who I'm assuming is Kamila says with a frown on her face and turned around so she could face the side where Rodrigo wasn't sitting. Kamila and Rodrigo were your average Latin couple. Kamila had light-tanned skin and dark brown, wavy hair with light brown highlights. Rodrigo had tanned skin and dark brown hair with bleached purple ends.
" Kamila, I'm sorry you know I would never do anything to hurt you. You know you are the only girl for me." You could see Rodrigo genuinely loves Kamila with all his heart.
She turned around and looked at him her frown turning into a small smile." Sorry, Rodrigo. I know you would never cheat on me, I've just been so paranoid ever since Ricky."
" Don't worry you don't have to talk about him, you're with me now," he gives her a hug and kisses her cheek.
" Awwww!" I say out loud because I can't control myself. The love they have for each other is real and strong.
Hakeem lets out a cough to get our attention and then continues," As I was saying, they are dating and our telenovela." He smiles at their public display of affection and then carries on with the introductions." Those two over there..." He pointed to the boy and girl sitting on Prosper's right side. They look really similar. They both have dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, and a similar smile."Ashley and Jacob, they're twins." I knew it.
"Hi, Mayomona. How are you?" they asked at the same time which made me cringe.
" It's Maimouna. Fine thanks and you," I responded trying to calm myself down.
"We're doing great," they said simultaneously again. I wonder why no one else is creeped out.
"You'll get used to it," he said while taking a sip of his Pepsi "This is, Justin. He plays soccer for the schools A team." Justin gives me a wave so I know what he looks like. He is really cute with his kinky curly hair and you tell his mixed." Justin is the dreamer of the group. He wants to be the first half Jamaican and half Filipino soccer player to make it into the Liverpool soccer team."
" Wow, you really have big dreams." I'm genuinely impressed.
" They are not dreams, they're visions." I let out a giggle cause he's really funny.
"This is Jon Ming, he is literally the best DJ." He is quite cute. You can tell he dyed his brown hair black." He also plays soccer for the A team. I don't know why because basketball is the best sport."
" Man everyone knows soccer is the best. We literally have a world game for soccer. Do we have a world game for basketball? Uh, do we?" Jon Ming retorted.
" Don't even start with this topic again." The girl sitting across from me on the other side of the table says. She looks like your average African American girl. She has short, black hair that ends right above her shoulders.
" And this is, Tati...." Before he could finish his sentence, Hakeem was cut off by the girl he was trying to introduce.
" I don't need someone to introduce me, Hakeem." The girl looks at me with a sly grin." Hello, my name is Tatiana and you must be Hakeem's new hoe."
I let out a laugh not because I thought her 'joke' was funny. I laughed because I know what type of girl she is, she is the type of girl who challenges the new girl to a dissing battle to see if she qualifies to sit with her group." Oh, you're one to talk. Up in here looking like you're selling bootleg CDs."
" You're talking about what I'm wearing. You look like you came here to pick up your clients." Clients! Did this bitch just call me a Prostitute! Oh, now it's on like donkey kon.
" First of all, I don't know who you calling hoe because last time I checked I wasn't your mirror. Secondly, what the hell. I'm literally wearing boots, jeans, a coat, and a thick scarf. And thirdly you should get out of here with your fake ass makeup because I thought it was bust down Tatiana not busted up Tatiana." At this point the whole table is quiet trying to hold back their laughter.
Tatiana's sly grin turns into a proper smile." I like you Maimouna, you got sass."
I try to hold back my smile while replying," Yeah, you're okay."
