Playa Cards Right : An August Alsina Short Story

Part One: Groupie

         Nicole has been boy crazy since the age of 11. It was nothing for her parents had to be worried about. Nicole was crazy about men she never will end up with by any means. Growing up, Nicole read all the magazines that was filled with articles and posters of the hottest hearthrobs. Word Up! was her favorite of them all. It was a must that she had that magazine every month. Another must have was a pair of tickets to see those hearthrobs every summer in concert. Oh, the good days. Her family called her things such as a junkie and a groupie due to her obsession. Call her a junkie all you want. She was far from a groupie, though.

Groupie- A young woman, often under age, who seeks to achieve status by having sex with rock musicians, roadies, security, and other band-related guys.

A fanatic was more of the word to discribe Nicole. The closest she became to a groupie she became was in her dreams. She planned on staying there. In high school, Nicole read Karrine Steffans' best seller, "Confessions of a Video Vixen" which was based on her rendezvous with the top musicians in the business. That's when Nicole's eyes were attracted to groupie tales. The best part about those were finding out how they were in bed without sleeping with them. The thing that artists did wrong was slept with women who kiss and tell. Nicole wasn't the type.
