"A party? In Cali? This part of Cali? At night? In this neighborhood?" I ask.
I'm currently at my best friend's house. We've known each other since 1st grade, we became best friends in 3rd grade when I punched a kid in the nose for calling her ugly.
It's Friday night and she wants me to go to a party with her. We live in California, not just California, but the worst part of it. People either get arrested or worse, get killed at Cali parties. Some are okay but most end up chaotic.
She hesitates but nods.
"You're crazy Tes," I say.
"Please Malayah, we'll leave early," she says.
"You haven't learned, last time we went to a party, you got arrested for underage drinking and you were grounded for a year, you literally just got ungrounded! Two hours ago!" I whisper yell. I don't want her parents to hear me.
"Please Malayah, I won't drink, I promise. I just wanna see Landon Cube," she says.
"Landon who?" I ask.
She gasps at my comment and shakes her head.
"Landon Cube," she says.
"Nope doesn't ring any bells," I say.
"He's a singer! He sings with Lil Skies!" Tessa whispers yells.
"Lil Skies? Who are these people?"
She takes out her phone and shows me a picture of Landon Cube first.
"He's okay looking I guess," I say. She tries to pull up Lil Skies but her phone starts ringing. It was our other friend Skylar, she puts her phone on speaker.
"Hello?" Skylar says.
"Hey," we both say at the same time.
"Are you guys coming?" Sky asks us.
"I want to but...," I cut her off.
"Fine Jesus!" I whisper yell. She knows if she begs enough she gets her way. She's my best friend, I'll always have a soft spot for her, which she knows.
"Yes!" Tessa says.
"Y'all are coming?" Sky asks again.
"Yes," I groan.
"Okay Skylar, we'll see you there," Tessa says, hanging up the phone. She gets off the bed and grabs my hands jumping up and down. I roll my eyes.
"Okay you better stop before I change my mind," I say. She quickly stops and runs to her closet.
"Okay so what are you wearing?" I ask her. She pulls out a red tight fitted dress.
"What are you wearing?" She asks me. I look through my stuff. I get dressed and turned towards Tessa who was already dress.
"Oou you look fine, go ahead best friend," she says, hyping me up.
