Cruising down the highway with music blasting, five teens were on their way to the yearly downtown festival. Smoke filled the sprinter, so Ri'ann turned up the A/C.

"Babe, follow the Bentley to the VIP section," Ri'Ann demanded her boyfriend.

Approaching an armed security guard at the entrance, Ri'Ann confidently introduced herself and the group of high school students, easily gaining access to the VIP section. They settled into their private room for the evening, with the two basketball boys setting up drinks, and the cheerleaders excitedly capturing memories.

Amid the festivities, Ashlee approached the group of boys, asking for a beer, and everyone pointed at Antwon. The tension rose as everyone knew Ri'ann would go off.

Pause! Everyone knew Ri'ann didn't mess around when it came to her boyfriend.

Resume! Ashlee tried to flirt with Antwon, but Ri'ann pulled her boyfriend away, establishing her territory.

The evening continued with drinking games and enjoying the performances. Suddenly, Ashlee's behavior turned strange, searching for ways to break up happy couples.

Kyah noticed Ashlee's actions and alerted Ri'ann. Together, they decided to confront Ashlee, who denied any ill intentions. The situation escalated, and Ashlee's motive was revealed – she wanted attention from the group and hoped they would piece things back together for her.

The tension grew, and the police were called, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Eventually, Ashlee apologized, and Ri'ann agreed to be cool again, though she made it clear that she didn't have to like her.

As the festival ended and everyone parted ways, Ri'ann and her dad returned home, reflecting on the eventful day.
