"Getcho ass up. We going to that party", K says, putting on her lashes.
"I don't even know nobody over there."
"Girl it don't matter. Getcho ass uppppp."
"Mchmt fine." I get up and walk into my closet. I pick out my green strapless mini dress with my white sandals and I put them on. I put lipgloss and my lashes on and grab my purse.
"Alright ma, I'll be back. I'm going to a party."
"Ok. I trust you, but don't come back here high or drunk. You ain't too old to get your ass beat. No boyssss and curfew is always 11-
"11:45. Momma, I know. It's the same, every time. I'll be back before 11:45. I love you.
"I love you too. Be safe."
"Bye Ms.Stradford."
"Bye, Kaliyah."
We walk out and get into my car. "Ahhhh, let's get itttt!"
********
"They wildin in this bitch", K says as we walk through the crowd.
"Yeah." Everybody was really turning up in here. The flashing lights blinded me and the constant smell of weed hit my nose hard. I look over to see G and Jet sitting by some females and Mack on stage with the DJ.
"You want a drink?"
"Nah, I'm good."
"Ok I'll be back."
I sit on a couch and just scroll through my social media pages.
"Wassup sis", Mack says sitting by me.
"Wassupppp. You the DJ or sum?"
"Nah, just helping the nigga out. I'm the entertainer tonight though."
"Mhmm whatever."
"You speak to Jet and G yet?"
"No, I'm just keeping my distance tonight."
"You good?"
"Yeah.... you got a blunt?"
"Yeah, but youn smoke."
"Just let me smoke. I'll go ahead and get the first time out the way."
"Ight." He pulls out a pre rolled blunt and lights it.
"Now all you have to do is hit it, hold for a while, then let it go. Take it slow cuz you a newcomer. And don't get my blunt wet, Ight."I nod and he passes me the blunt. I do as he says and hit it, then hold for a little bit, and then let it go. I cough a little bit, but the more I smoke, the more I get better.
"Ight that's enough", he says trying to grab the blunt but I snatch it back.
"Uh uhn I'm good. Bye."
"But Ol-
"I'm fine Mack. Go do your thing." He nods and disappears in the crowd. The more I smoke, the more I start to see things.
