billie

"you're so in love"

i looked up at drew and grimaced.

"stop saying that so loudly. plus i haven't even asked her to be my girlfriend yet".

"well are you going to? i mean you guys basically act like a couple"

i sat my drink down on the bench and leaned my head against my hand. "i don't know. i mean i want to, but i don't know how or when".

i looked over to where aaliyah was sitting with her friends. she told me tatiana still wasn't really talking to her, but ashanti made her come with us.

we were currently at the mall because none of us wanted to stay at school.

aaliyah was laughing about something and i couldn't help but smile.

"see? you're so in love"

"drew if you say that one more time, i will punch you".

"not my fault you're in l-"

i picked up her pretzel and threw it at her. "shut up"

"billie! you got salt in my eye!"

"good. now stop exposing me".

after a while, i felt arms wrap around my neck. i looked up and saw aaliyah smile down at me.

"hi"

"hi beautiful".

she blushed at my words before sitting down next to me. "hey drew".

"hi liyah".

"so bil, analy was telling me about this party and-".

"the party at daniela's house?" drew asked.

"yeah that one! can we go?" aaliyah turned to me with pleading eyes.

i shrugged. "yeah i don't see why not".

aaliyah smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck.

"wait- only if you promise to stay at my house afterwards".

aaliyah looked up at me and laughed. "at this point i should move in".

"even better".

i looked up at drew who was smiling at us. "you guys are so cute".

i looked back down at aaliyah and smiled. i felt eyes on me and saw tatiana staring me down. cold hard stare.

what was her problem?

"okay! let's walk around some more and go home" analy announced.

aaliyah messed around with her hair as billie adjusted the multiple rings on her fingers.

they were getting ready to go to that party aaliyah wanted to go to, and they were already late.

or fashionably late , as billie called it.

after a few sprays of perfume, aaliyah was ready. billie pulled a few hairs from the space buns she had in before grabbing her keys and walking towards her car with aaliyah.

they drove quickly, listening to music as they did. when they got there, aaliyah spotted analy standing outside with drew.

aaliyah hopped out and ran over to her friend.
