twenty-one.

Leaving from the diner, Margaret stuffed her hands in her pockets as she begins to walk. She went to nearby payphone to cal Bunny. She didn't feel safe walking to their house.

After putting in a few coins, she waited for Bunny to pick up the phone.
"Hello?"
Bunny answered.

"Hey, can you come pick me up?"
She asked.

In the background, she can hear various voices one of them sound so familiar.

"Sure, you still by the diner?"
Margaret nodded her head as she look around.

"Yeah."

"Ok, I'll be there in a minute."
They both hung up.

Since it was a bit chilly, Margaret went back inside the diner and took a seat at the same booth. She look at the people who were talking. This made her wish she had someone to talk to.

"Oh, you're back?"
Margaret's head turn towards the waiter named Joey.

"Yeah, I'm waiting for my sister to pick me up."
She told him.

Joey nodded his head.
"Oh, would you like me to get you something to drink?"

Margaret smirked. She appreciated his kindness.
"No, thank you."

"Ok."
He walked off.

She hummed to the music that was playing and tapped her fingers on the table as she kept an eye for her ride. Moment later, Bunny pulled up and honk the horn.

Margaret quickly scooted out of her seat.
"Goodbye!"
She heard Joey said as she looked back.

He was waving at her with a big smile plastered across his face.
Margaret giggled, waving back, exiting out of the diner.

"Who were you waving to?"
Bunny asked once Margaret hopped in the vehicle.

"A waiter, his name is Joey."
Margaret answered, fastening her seatbelt.

Bunny smirked as she zoomed down the street.

At the house, Margaret was surprised that it was filled with people who were El's family members and friends. Bunny told her that they were throwing an celebration for him. She thought that was nice cause he really deserve something like this.

Alicia Myers's I Wanna Thank You played as Margaret greeted some of the guests then entered the kitchen where she fixed her a plate.

There were so many food. From catfish nuggets to mostaccoli.
She didn't waste no time stacking up her plate with food.

"Hey girl."
Sylvia greeted, also fixing her plate.

"Sylvie! Oh my god, where have you been?"
Margaret gasped which made Sylvia laugh in response.

"It's a long story but to make it short, I was living it up with James."
She answered.

"Ooh, did you guys enjoy yourselves?"
Margaret walk over to the fridge where she opened to get her a drink.

Sylvia nodded.
"Yes and I would never forget it. He really showed me a good time."
