Princeton and Ray go downstairs to get some coffee to find Roc sitting in the living room watching cartoons. "Hey Roc," Ray says dryly,"Wassup," Roc replies. "Hey Roc," Princeton says, Roc is confused on why the guys seemed so dull today. Usually Princeton would be already downstairs eating a granola bar and when he'd see Roc he'll be like,"Roco!" or "Rocky!" or "The Roc has awaken!". Ray would come down the stairs searching for some cereal and say,"How's my breakfast buddies?! Where's my cereal? Who ate my cereal? Oh, nevermind I see it!". Prodigy would always come down with either a girl, a hangover, or both. He knew Prodigy did something when the boys acted differently,"So what did Prodigy do?" Roc asked.
Princeton took his coffee mug and leaned up against the counter,"I don't know where to begin," he said. "Ray, maybe you can tell him."
"Ugh I so don't want to talk about it! All you need to know is six words: Party, paparazzi, and girl in his room."
"And I'm pretty sure we'll see it on TMZ later on," said Princeton.
"Well I knew about the girl," Roc said.
"How you know?"
Roc hesitated to tell them,"I opened the door for them last night,"
"What?!" Princeton said outraged,"Roc why did you do that?"
"He forgot his key, I didn't know he was coming in with a girl,"
"Well Roc, when you saw she was here why didn't you tell her to leave or tell Prodigy to make her leave?" Ray asked.
"I don't know, I'm sorry okay?"
"Sorry doesn't cut it! When mom and dad get home do you think sorry is going to fix it all?"
Roc looked down at the floor. Roc was the youngest so he felt like he didn't have much authority over anyone in the house, especially Prodigy. Prodigy came down the steps with the girl from the party and lead her to the door, when she saw Roc, Princeton, and Ray she screeched to the top of her lungs. "Oh my God! I just met all of the Smith brothers in one day, oh my God I am the luckiest girl in the world right now!"
"Yes you are sweetie," Prod said and kissed her neck making her giggle. Princeton looked at the girl for a long time, She looks familiar, he thought. She was tall, she had long hair, her lips were kind of plump, he stared at her some more and thought, No. It couldn't be! "Excuse me, what is your name?" he asked.
"You don't know your own brother's name?" she asked.
"Sweetie, he was talking about you," Prodigy said.
"Oh! My name is Bella,"
Damn!, Princeton thought. He remembered her from Zonnique's sweet 16 last year and hoped she didn't remember him, but judging from her stupidity she couldn't even remember how to spell her name.
"Well I think it might be time for you to head back home okay sweetie?" Prodigy said trying to push Bella out of the house.
"Oh, okay. Bye guys!"
Prodigy closed the door, rolled his eyes, and looked at the boys. "Shesh! She fine but she is not the smartest!"
"She not the only one," replied Ray sarcastically.
"Oh come on, I just had a little fun and that's it!"
"You obviously don't know what just came out of your mouth do you?"
"Look don't get mad at me 'cause I got some and you didn't,"
"Nobody's worried about that you dumb fuck! We're worried about how mom and dad are going to react when they see what you did,"
Prodigy was just about to argue right back until Princeton interrupted, "Well guys we need to get to class so if you guys can just drop it for now so we won't be late that'll be just great." Roc turned off the T.V. and went to go shower, Princeton also headed upstairs to go get ready, Ray placed his bowl in the sink and headed upstairs leaving Prodigy alone with his thoughts.
Princeton is dressed and ready to go, he heads to the garage and gets an email on his phone: I'll be home soon 143 ;-) My baby's coming home!, he thought. He practically floated down the stairs after getting the message. He got in his car and waited for the boys to come down, Princeton was so happy that the one person he loved the most was coming back. Considering that Prodigy is always stressing him out and that he stresses his ownself out by working too hard on his dance and music, he needed someone who would force him to live a little. In the middle of his daydream the passenger side door opened, it was Ray.
"What are you so happy about?" he asked stepping into the car.
"Nothing," Princeton replied.
"Nah nah nah! Don't lie to me, what happend?"
"I said it was nothing!"
Ray looked at Princeton with the "Foreal?" face, "What?" Princeton replied, "I'm serious!"
"Yeah, yeah. Okay, I'm going to get it out of you one day!"
Roc got in the car fixing his clothes,"Prodigy will be down in a minute," he said.
"How long is a minute?" Princeton asked.
"I don't know,"
"He better not make us late," Ray said
"Oh he's not! I will leave his ass here,"Princeton replied. As if on cue, Prodigy came running down to the garage."There he is," said Ray. Prodigy stood outside the car and looked at Ray sitting shotgun, then he looked at the empty seat next to Roc. He looked back at Ray and then back at Roc, "Dude get in the car!" Ray yelled, Prodigy shook his head and said, "Okay now I know I crashed my car and all but really? I have to sit in the back like a child?"
"Yes you do," Ray said, "Now will you get in and shut up so we won't be late?" Prodigy grunted and got into the backseat.
As they drive on the road to get to class everyone is preoccupied, Roc is listening to music, Ray is updating his Twitter, Prodigy is going through his voicemail that is filled with messages from Tina, and Princeton is once again thinking about what he wanted to do for when his baby comes home. He wanted to do something special, something that would make them just want to cuddle up together and not let each other go, he wanted to make it count. As they pulled up into the driveway of the Star Status Talent Training Studios he couldn't help but smile at himself. Things are going to get better, he told himself.
They will get better.
