"Okey-dokey" She responded

"Tom help me hook the bracelet will you?" Tasha inquired

"Kind of," She remarked

"Hi Zendaya, welcome," I said adjusting my necktie.

No response

"Where are your family members?" I asked

"What's your business with them?" She retorted

"Nothing actually. I thought they should be here" I explained

As she turned to leave, I jumped quickly in front of her

"Not so fast"

"I need an explanation for this crap" She demanded

"Where is your Iv?" I requested

"This party is strictly by invitation" I added
