"So, what you think he'll like? This icy as hell." Jayda referred to the Rolex under the glass.
Khalil's party is a few days away that he doesn't know about nor do Jayda. Which I hope that she goes, that way the plan will go according to.
"Hell yeah, he definitely gon' show that shit off." I replied scanning over the other expensive jewelry under the glass counter.
"Jayda since were on this subject... how you feel about goin' to a party?" I asked still scanning over the necklaces with my eyes.

"Party? What type of party? Cause you know I don't do them." Jayda scuffed watching the sales lady gift the watch up in a nice black matte box. After Jayda finished paying for the Rolex in cash we walked about a couple minutes to the car until my mind drifted back to the subject.

"Your nigga party, but... he doesn't know so, imma need you to hush for a few days." I explained eating scoops from my ice cream. Jayda mingled for her keys in her purse before unlocking the doors to her car. "You know we already there pooh. Where its going to be at?" She asked pulling out of the packed parking lot and driving onto the road.
"At the only club, rich niggas and bosses go to. So, you know that shit going to be big and deep. Pockets full of ballers!" I exclaimed turning the music mid-low and texting Jace that Jayda's down.

"I have to figure out how we gone do this. Imma just tell him let's just go to the club and get lit." Jayda shared pulling up in front of our friend house who also in the business of doing nails. "If that gets him to the club then hell." I said grabbing my purse getting out the car. It feels so good to wear my natural hair for a few days but it looks a mess. I'm so happy we get our hair done Friday after school. Jayda followed behind me locking her car doors approaching the front door.

I knocked on the door three times before she could answer the door. "Hey girl! Hey Jayda girl!" She greeted us into a warm hug letting us into her condo. This place is luxury as hell, everything in here is clean. I can't wait to graduate and take the next big step of my life.

"Hey Lena, whats been goin' on with you?" I asked her sitting my purse down on the counter and taking a seat on the couch.
"I just got back from Cali with my friends two days ago. I landed late, probably around 4am and had to wake up early as hell for an appointment. Yesterday I slept my life away." Lena replied turning on her lamp in her little station.

"Damn, at least you got your rest in. Cause baby I'll be tieddd!" Jayda said. Lena motioned for Jayda to come have a seat so she can get started on her nails.

"Jayda, I feel so much better. How you gettin' your nails?" Lena asked looking over Jayda's nails suggesting any suggestions.

"I know I want gel and coffin shape, you know something simple." Jayda answered sitting up straight handing her hand into Lena hand to do what she does best.

Minutes went by and Lena was finishing up Jayda nails. When I tell you they were looking Goodt trust me. "What's the move this Saturday?" Lena asked motioning me to come and fill the seat Jayda left. I couldn't make up my mind of what I wanted done to my nails so, I suggested Lena freestyle too.

"Well, you know Khalil's birthday is in a few days so, Jace decided to throw him one at the club. So, that's where we at." Jayda answered while admiring over her nails.

"Okkk, I'll be there." Lena responded applying the fake nails onto Ryan's nails. "Speaking of Khalil, you know Amira back in town. I seen her in Target chile. I was just minding my business and I heard somebody call my name. I looked and turned around, there she was." Lena added. I shot a look at Jayda, her face expression tells it all that she's tuned in.
