Chapter 3: The Way

Bo's POV

With my sister being in the hospital, my other sister having the truck, my parents not answering neither of they phones, and running 45 minutes to the hospital, my and the guys said FUCK THIS FOOTBALL GAME. Family always comes first... even tho' it's homecoming and we was supposed to kick some Astro ass... oh well. We'll still fuck shit up for the homecoming dance.

"Did you call Mama and Daddy?" Nicki slowly walked up to me and sat beside me as we all waited in the waiting area to hear some news about my sister.

I rolled my eyes in irritation. I wasn't irritated at her, but all this shit that happened today is fucked up. "I called both of them," I exhaled deeply. "Dukes and Pops. No answer." I looked at her and she looked at me then looked away.

"You know wassup with Lira?" I questioned. Nicki bit her lip, chewed on it, looked down at her nails, then back at me. "Well... do you?"

"No..."

"Bullshit." I called her out because I knew she was lying.

Nicki then looked at Tina, who looked at Trey, who looked at me. Then I looked back at Nicki.

"Yo one of y'all better speak up. It seem like Nic and Tina know something about Lira that we don't." Trey called them out right before I had the chance to.

"T you know?" Nicki asked Tina who nodded her head meekly.

"She's pregnant." Nicki stated.

"And she's still dieting and wearing her waist trainer, and doesn't know how far along she is." Tina said and trailed off at the end to make it seem like we ain't hear her, but I'm pretty damn sure we heard her loud and clear.

I guess Lexi saw my demeanor change and came over and sat on  my lap. I gripped her waist tightly to keep from losing my temper.


Nicki's POV

I feel so bad... and scared as shit. The look on Trey's face made me feel bad because he's just finding out about this when we all know that he should've been the first person to know about the pregnancy, not me and Tina.

Then the look on my brother's face scared me shitless. He's always been so overprotective over us our since we were 5, so I can't even imagine what's going through that nigga head. What worries me is what he may or may not say to Lira. Actually... I don't know what's worse; my parents reaction or what my brother is gonna say to my sister.

When I saw Bo's demeanor change I was so thankful that Lexi hopped up and kept him seated because I knew he was gonna do something that he might regret. I cautiously got up and went to Trey's aid with Drake. Trey had his head in his hands. I stood behind him and soothingly rubbed his back in a calming matter.

"It's gonna be okay. Lira's gonna be okay. The baby will be okay."

I hope.

"How you know?"

"I know for a fact that they'll be okay." I confirmed.

"Promise?" He lifted his head and turned around to face me with a pleading look in his eyes.

"I promise." I lied. I can't make any promises.



Trey's POV

I couldn't help but think the worst. When it comes down to my girl I get overly dramatic... and I can say the same thing for Bo, Drizzy, Zave, and Quis. We start acting like lil' bitches when its something wrong with our girls.

Like what if she lost the baby?
What if something is wrong with the baby and we gotta be very careful and cautious during the entire pregnancy?

I can't even imagine... I just want my girl and my baby to be okay. But I have wayyyy too many questions that only Lira can answer.

How far along is she?
Is it a girl or boy?
When did she find out she was pregnant?
Why wasn't I the first to know?
Does she wanna keep the baby?
Did she tell her parents?
What the hell we gonna do?
What's the plan for the future?
Will we still be together

I want answers and I want them now.




Brittany's POV

I walked up over to Nicki because we all need her parents here before the doctor comes out. Shit we been waiting damn near 3 hours how many fucking tests they gotta do?

"Here give me your car keys and house keys. I'm gonna drive your car back to your house and go get your parents and bring them back here. Zave, Lexi, Tina, Day, and Quis all ride with me so we can get dressed for homecoming. Trey, Drake, and Bo you stay here with Nicki until we come back. Hopefully by the time we get back the doctor should be here. And Drake keep ya eye on Bo so he won't do nothin' stupid. We ain't got time to be bailin' niggas out." I instructed as Nicki gave me both sets of keys.

"Wait, we're going to Nicki's house to get her parents and get dressed and come back here?" Day asked me for confirmation. I nodded my head and walked out.

"But me, Nic and Trey still gotta get dressed." Drake made a face.

"If we're not back in 2 hours then call me." I turned back around and locked eyes with Nicki. In return, she blew me a kiss and I kept walking with everyone behind me.

We still gotta do hair and make-up. Maybe I'll have the boys get dressed and take Nicki's parents back to the hospital because girls take too much damn time to get ready. So, we'll probably take Lira's BMW back to the hospital. It's 'bouta be a lotta back and forth since Trey, Nic, Drake, Bo, and possibly Lira still need to get dressed. Oh well... We can figure this out. The football game not even over yet ad i looked at my watch. We still have another 5 hours because the game just started... literally just started.

Drake's POV

I rolled my eyes at Brittany who had already left. She dismissed me and didn't even answer my question, so I huffed and repeated myself. This time I was talking to Nicki.

"But me, you, Bo, and Trey still gotta get dressed."

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Right now what I need you to do is stay with Trey and keep him calm. I'm gonna go talk to my brother in the hallway. I'll be right back." Nicki started to walk away but I grabbed the back of her shirt and spun her around so she could face me.

"What Aubrey?"

"Damn babygirl," I licked my lips and smirked. "We just got together and you not even gonna give me a kiss?"

She gave me the same smirk that I gave her. "Fine." Nicki placed her balms on both sides of my face pulling me closer to her and shoved her tongue down my throat.

A nigga wasn't expecting a kiss like that... I just wanted a peck or some shit, but hey I ain't complainin'. Now I know what she like... sloppy and rough.

Nicki moaned into the kiss as she pulled away. I retaliated by grabbing two healthy handfuls of her ass and pulled her closer to me. I pecked her lips a few more times and watched her walk away.

Lexi's POV

During the car ride back to Nicki's place, I sat in the backseat on Tina's lap while she sat next to Day, who sat next to Marquis. I was singing my song for the dance tonight since I'm gonna be performing in front of everyone, but I haven't got my chance to rehearse at all.

"... Boy, you know all I do, is stay up all night losing sleep over you. All I do... Is drive myself crazy thinkin' 'bout my baby..."

I paused and took a sip of water while I waited for everyone's reaction. Zave was the first one to comment. His reaction made me spit out my water and crack up laughing because he's so damn goofy.

"OHHHHH GURLLLL!!!!!!!! YOU BETTA SING DAT SHIT!!!!"

"YASSS HONEY!!!!" Dayna shouted making us all laugh. She's such a grandma callin' me honey... like bitch!

"Fuck you callin' honey? Do I look like Honey Bunches of Oats to you?" I said and Tina howled at my remark.

"Nah.. more like a honey bun." Britt snorted.

I waved her off and directed my attention to Marquis. "Quis how you like the song?"

It was silent for a couple minutes and I looked over to see him nodded. Mouth all open with drool on the side of his face and shit. I tapped Zave on his shoulder and pointed to Quis. Zave leaned over to Britt and told his girl to slam on the breaks. As soon as she did that Quis fell forward hitting his head on the back of the passenger seat and jolted up lokin' around the car like a lost puppy as we all laughed.

"Y'all ain't right."

Mama Nani's POV

Me and big daddy was just coming upstairs from the home gym to somebody bangin' on the door like they 5-O. I rolled my eyes thinking it was these damn kids tryna get dressed for tis dance they got goin' on at they lil school.

"Wait a damn minute!!!!!" I yelled and the banging stopped. I used my twol to wipe off the sweat dripping from my body as big daddy answered the door.

"Wassup y'all?" He greeted. The girls rushed in with the boys right behind them. They all said 'hello' and rushed up the stairs. Big daddy looked outside looking for our kids and Drake, but he didn't see them come in.

"Where 'dey at do'?" He turned and I shrugged my shoulders in response, thinking that they came in with the rest of these kids.

Christina came rushin' down the stairs and rushed straight towards me and my husband.

"Nicki, Drake, Trey, Bo, and Lira are all at the hospital. Lira fainted and I ain't sure if it's my responsibility to tell you why. They still waitin' fo' the doctor... we all tried callin' y'all but y'all wasn't answerin' y'all phones so we came over here. After the guys get dressed you and the guys are gonna go back to the hospital and the girl's will meet yall there and we'll just figure out a plan from there." She explained and waited for our reactions.

I was frozen while big daddy rushed upstairs to get our phones. All the boys jogged down the stairs and back out the door.

"Dang they got dressed fast!" I heard Tina say which made me snap out of my daze.

"Thank you baby. Go get dressed and tell Game to meet us in the car when he come back down stairs." I kissed her temple and made my way out the door.

As soon as I walked out I heard big daddy rushing out slamming the door behind him. He jogged up next to me wrapping his arm around my shoulders as we speed walked to the car.

"What's wrong with my baby?" He asked in a small voice.

"I don't know," I replied back with the same small voice he had. "I hope she's okay tho'..."

Chapter 2: Wanted (Part 2)

Day's POV

I love my girl Brittany but I hate keeping secrets from her. She's my best friend and in out best friend contract it says that I, Dayna Marie Scott is NOT ALLOWED to keep secrets from Brittany La'Shae Wood. I know its some bullshit because we made this contract in the first grade but we gotta go by the rules or else we cant be friends...

But anyway... since today is homecoming or whatever you know we gotta show out on our home turf nigga! Home of the North Atlanta Warriors where our colors are silver and black and we show no mercy! We ready to kick some Douglass High Astro ass! Damn I'm overly excited about this...

We got our cheers and stunts ready for the football game tonight and you know that our halftime performance is gonna slay! Everyone is so excited for tonight because we know that our team is gonna win. Well we have to win... We can't be this hype about homecoming and lose the football game on our home turf! That can't happen. And then after the game we got our homecoming dance! So I made sure that we all got dressed at Nicki and Lira's house tonight because their house is bigger. Everyone has their dress and all that other shit because I made sure of it.



Lira's POV

I'm not sure how long I can keep this secret from Trey... I'm scared to tell him. I'm actually scared to tell anybody. Why me? Why does this have to happen now? Whatever decision I make I know could either be a blessing or a lesson... I have to tell Nicki first because I need some advice.

"Aye Nic... Let me holla at you for a minute. It's kinda important." I begged. All the cheerleaders were in the locker room doing some last minute stretching, cheering, and stunting before the game which is in 1 hour.

"Wassup boo? You good?" Nicki looked at me with concern.

"Umm..." I hesitated.

"Don't lie to me Lira."

"No I'm not okay... I-I-I'm pregnant." I bit my lower lip and looked down at the floor. I'm so ashamed.

"We can get through this together okay? Everything will be okay I promise. All you have to do is tell Mama, Daddy, Bo, and Trey, Especially Trey because he's the father and he has the right to know that he has a child on the way." She said with a caring tone. That made me feel so much better knowing that I'm not alone but that still doesn't mean that I'm not scared.

"But Nicki I'm 16! I can't be 16 and pregnant! You know that I wanna be a model when I grow up! A baby cannot happen right now!" I groaned and rolled my eyes.

"Okay look. Here are your options; get an abortion, carry the baby during these 9 months and after you give birth give the baby up for adoption, or you can keep the baby and not give it away at all. Take your pick." She said and I started to weigh out my options.

If I get an abortion then I'll never forgive myself and it'll haunt me forever.
If I give my baby up for adoption then I'll be devastated once it's time to give he or she up to it's new parents.
If I keep the baby then I'll have to find another way to make my dreams come true or just forget about the dreams altogether because the baby is gonna mess everything up. BUT THAT'S SO MEAN AND SELFISH AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I WOULD EVER THINK LIKE THAT!

"I'll keep the baby."

Zave's POV

A nigga nervous as hell... I was finna give this promise ring to Brittany yesterday at the carnival but niggas was shooting up the place. So now I got plans to do it right after the football game tonight. Nobody knows so its finna be turnt' up once they see me get down on one knee.

"Aye numbah' 19!!! Get out in the field boy!!! Ain't got time for you to be messin' 'round in the lockah rooms doin' nothin'!!!" Coach yelled at me in his southern accent. I guess I was in a daze; but I actually find it kinds funny when he yell at me 'cause that nigga voice be booming!

"YES COACH BOOM!" I yelled back and grabbed my helmet and ran out to the field. Coach slapped my ass and I swatted him away. That shit is gay as fuck. Ion' want no one slapping my ass unless its my girl. I always let her slide because she my girl and I can't say no to my baby.

I actually don't know why we practicing because we gon' kill it out there on the field tonight so I ain't finna waste my energy on no dumb ass practice. I'm just ready for the game and the party. Tonight finna be lit! I'm bouta have on the lay and squad finna walk in that party looking fresh as ever. Every nigga and every hoe at this party gon' be hatin' on us. Just wait.

"Aye shawty! You gon' let me holla at you for a minute?!" I heard my boy Drizzy yell across the field. I looked to see who he was talking to. I laughed and shook my head when I noticed it was Nicki who stopped in her tracks, turned around, and walked back towards us.

"Man you just not givin' up huh?" I asked and chuckled. Drizzy laughed and gave me the middle finger and walked towards Nicki. I guess they was meeting halfway or some shit. I ain't paying attention to them.




Drake's POV

"Yes Aubrey how can I help you today?" Nicki stared at me with her beautiful brown eyes.

"I just wanted to talk this time. Like no freaky flirty shit Nic. I'm dead ass serious." I nervously rubbed the back of my neck. I'm bouta be real with her. She deserves to know how I feel.

"Aw shit this bouta be long? I gotta get back to practice... oh fuck it," She sat criss-cross applesauce on the grass and I chuckled before sitting in front of her just staring. "Wassup Drizzy? You good?" now her voice held concern.

"Yeah. Ain't nothing serious, just wanted to tell you somethin' that's been on a nigga mind for a min'..."

"Shoot."

"This flirty shit needa stop. Like my feelings for you are deep and real. Especially since we known each other since first grade. Nic come on. Just give a nigga a chance! I want you! Not just your body Onika, but I want all of you. I truly love and care about you. I could stare in those beautiful big brown eyes and your smile just brightens up my day with those cute little dimples of yours," She giggled after I said that.

"See? You got a nigga going soft and shit..." Nicki bussed' out laughing like it was the funniest thing she heard in her whole damn life. "Ard playboy... I didn't tell you to stop with the compliments." I lifted my eyebrow and smirked at the thought that just ran through my head.

"If I shower you with more compliments would you give me and a chance and be my date for homecoming?"

Nicki literally sat in my face and stared blankly for five minutes. I was confused and a nigga was startin' to get scared. "Yeah. It's a deal."



Tina's POV

Something's wrong with Lira and I know it. She's been out of it lately and she been having these weird cravings- oh no. No, no, no, no, no ,no! She can't be!!!!! I marched right over to her and dragged her out of the formation. If she's in this condition then she should not be practicing.

"Tina what?! Fuck you dragging me for?"

I looked around to make sure no one was paying any attention to us. I gripped her wrist tighter and pulled her closer so I could whisper in her ear.

"Are you pregnant?" I got straight to the point. I needed to know the truth. We don't keep secrets from each other so why start now?

"Yes okay?!" Lira spoke in a hushed tone. "I'm pregnant and I don't know how many months I am."

"Does Trey know?"

"No."

"Mama Nani?"

"No."

"Game?" I asked in reference to her stepdad.

"No," She said once more. "Nicki is the only one who knows besides you..." She trailed off.

"Oh my god Lira!" I exclaimed.

"What?"

"You've been dieting for god knows how long, you don't know how far along you are, only two people know, and you're probably wearing your waist trainer right now!!! That's what!!!!" I scolded Lira like a child. She's being completely careless and she's pregnant! I mean what could go wrong? Oh thats right, EVERY-FUCKING-THING!


I heard the ambulance sirens and a nigga tryna figure out where they headed 'cause they sounded like they was getting closer and closer. As I scratched my head and looked at my niggas in confusion, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket of my sweats. It was a text from Nicki.

Lil Sis- FUCK PRACTICE GET THE BOYS AND MEET ME AND THE GIRLS IN THE HOSPITAL IN 10. CALL MY MOM AND DAD. DON'T SAY ANYTHING TO THE BOYS BUT LIRA FAINTED AND I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY.

Fuck she mean "Lira fainted" and why can't she tell me what's going on? Oh fuck it. I put my phone back in my pocket and sprinted all across the fuckin' field just to find these niggas.

"BO HELP ME GET THE REST OF THESE NIGGAS SO WE CAN GO TO THE HOSPITAL!" I said all in one breath then ran away to find the rest of them.

"WHY?!" He yelled back.

"LIRA FAINTED! CALL YOUR MOMS AND POPS"

The next nigga I found was Zave, Quis, Bo and Drizzy ran up to us just in time.

"NO NEED FOR TALKIN' GET IN THE FUCKIN' CAR!!!!!" Bo yelled at us. We all looked at each other because none of us had the keys.

"Well.. who got the damn keys?! My girl in the hospital and we ain't got a way to get there!"

It was quiet for a minute before Bo shouted at the top of his lungs. "FUCK NICKI!!!!! SHE ALL GAVE US A RIDE IN MY DADS TRUCK AND SHE GOT THE FUCKIN' KEYS!!!!!!" We all groaned. 'Least I'm not the only nigga who pissed off.

"Fuck y'all niggas. We got two legs right?" Zave asked and we all looked at each other thinking the same thought. We took of running in the direction of the hospital. The ambulance is long gone. I just hope my girl is okay.

Chapter 1: Wanted (Part 1)

Lexi's POV


I held my silver iPhone 6 in my hands, then I nodded to my boyfriend Bo, who is Nicki's stepbrother, to make the beat. The camera was facing towards the girls as I yelled "Err'body say SAUSAGE, keep it going!... EGGS, BACON, GRITS, SAUSAGE!" I then faced the camera towards Tina so she can get her turn first.

"I'M A LATINA BUT I STILL TAKE THE SAUSAGE!"

Then it was Day's turn. "I GOT A BIG FOREHEAD BUT I STILL TAKE THE SAUSAGE!"

Then Nick, "I GOT A FAT ASS BUT I STILL TAKE THE SAUSAGE!" the people in the back watching us laughed at she turned around and started twerking.

I then dragged my attention towards Lira, "I GOT A PRETTY FACE BUT I STILL TAKE THE SAUSAGE!"

Brittany was the last one to go "S-S-S-S-S-SAUSAGE!"

"AYEEEEE!!!!!!!!" Everyone yelled and cheered for us as the rest of our squad came up to watch the video that I just recorded.



Drake's POV

We all crowded around Lexi to watch the video. Everyone was laughing at Nicki because she was the only one who turned around and started twerking.

"Nic always gotta be the one to start a fuckin' dance party..." I clowned her and started laughing while everyone else started dickeating off of me and started clowning her too. She stuck her tongue out at me and then I said "You can get it at anytime baby. Just say the word and I gotchu." I smirked

"Nah fuck outta here with that freaky shit. Nika you stole my part... I had to make some shit up on the spot." Lira glared at Nicki and she glared back which started an intense glaring war between the two sisters.

Nicki broke the stare before she spoke, "Well at least it was good... and it made sense..." she cleared her throat and then mocked what Lira said in the video, "I got a pretty face but I still take the sausage!" Nicki said in a very high pitched voice which made her sister bug her eyes out.

"I don't sound like that! And what you mean by it made sense?!" Lira asked. We all sat in silence waiting for Nicki's response.

"What I mean is... that you do have a pretty face and you still take the sausage..." she laughed at herself before continuing. "Just like the hoe you are." Nicki said and Lira made a face.

"OHHHHHH SHIT!!!!!!" We all yelled.

"SHOTS FIRED!!!!!! KABOOM!!!!!!" Zave yelled making us all crack up laughing.

"THE SHADE HUNTY THE SHADE!!!!" Brittany made a motion with her hands like she was sipping tea like the Kermit the Frog meme.

"I AM NOT A HOE!!! I'VE ONLY BEEN WITH TREY!!!" Lira defended herself then laughed as we all gave Nicki daps for her comeback.



Lira's POV

I really couldn't be mad at Nicki because everyone knows that we mess around like this and its never serious between us.

"Don't you guys just love having lunch last period?" I said in a fake voice as soon as the last bell rang signaling that school was officially over for today.

"No and lets hurry up and get to practice so we can finish this homecoming routine for tomorrow." Tina rushed us and rolled her eyes.

"Chill out Little Red," Trey walked over to me and grabbed my waist. He calls her Little Red because she's short and has red hair. "They'll meet you in the locker room. Y'all got 5 minutes to spare anyway." He waved Tina off and she flipped her hair and walked away. I giggled and faced Trey putting both of my hands on his chest.

"I wanna talk to you later after practice ok?" I innocently looked up at him and pecked his lips.

"About what babe? Is something wrong?" His eyes held so much concern and worry, I started to feel bad because I knew that he's gonna be thinking about it all during practice and its gonna throw off his game.

"Nothing Trey. Just meet me at your after practice. I gotta go. Love you!" I pecked his cheek and ran off.




Brittany's POV

I seen all the other girls run off to go to the locker rooms and I slowly walked behind them in my thoughts...

Xavier said we had a date tonight.
He never told me where.
Zave also never told me what to wear.
All he said was that it's cute and fun and romantic.

I shook my head and caught up with everyone else before heading to the gym so we can start practice. I walked up to Dayna to ask her what Zave's plans are since both of them been  best friends since they were 5 or 6 I think.

"Day! Can I hit you with a question right quick?"

Day nodded her head signaling me to continue.

"Zave is taking me on a date tonight... do you know where we're going?" I asked with intrigue. Dayna didn't say anything but she avoided my stare.

"Oh um... yeah I'm not really sure. Just wear some jean shorts with a crop top and sneakers," she paused and tapped her finger on her chin. "messy donut bun, big hoops and very little make-up."

"You sure? I feel like you know but you don't wanna tell me..."

"Brittany," Dayna dead-faced me. "just do as I say, don't panic and let's hurry before coach makes us do duck walks for being late." She grabbed me by my worst and ran off dragging me behind her.

"I don't care! She can kiss my left asscheek!" I rolled my eyes.

Quis's POV

I know my mans Zave got a big surprise planned for Britt but she going around asking everyone what's his plans just to be nosey.

He's gonna give her this promise ring that he brought a while ago and he asked all of us to meet up at the carnival tonight.

"Aye man how you gonna give her the ring?" I asked him as we were doing drills for football. We gotta get ready for this homecoming game so we can win. The game is on our own turf so we really gotta shut shit down. Especially since we going against our biggest rivals the Douglass High Astros.

"Ima but her some popcorn and have the ring somewhere in the popcorn back so she can find it." He cheesed like a little 5 year old boy.

"My nigga this ain't hide-and-go-seek!" Bo clowned him making us laugh at Zave.

"Right! Like fuck you thought nigga!" Trey exclaimed and coach blew the whistle signaling for us to huddle up quick so we can leave.

Bo's POV

I told everyone that I would meet up with them at the carnival a little later because Lexi wanted me to come to the studio to hear what she's been working on. She has the most angelic voice in the whole world and every time I hear her sing I star at her in awe. I know the shit sounds cheesy but I don't care.

As I walked into the studio I expected to see her in the booth recording something, but she was sitting in the chair rolling up.

"You sharing shawty?" My voice startled her I guess because Lexi turn around like she saw a ghost... She relaxed when she seen it was me.

"Hey baby," Lexi got up to kiss me. I snatched the blunt from her fingers.

"You said you got sum'n for me to hear?" I lit the blunt and took a hit, exhaling the smoke from my lips and passed it back to her.

"Oh yeah!" Lexi hopped over to the sound board and hit play and turned up the volume. 

She came back over to me and sat on my lap. I passed her the blunt and watch her take a hit as I listened intently to her lyrics.

Ask a woman when you are broken

You make a choice to stay down or go and

Find something to bring you back

To get you right, get you right on track

I-I-I-I I was chosen 

He found me in the perfect moment

But my lover made them heights, so much dome to clear my skies

I don't think I can deny

He makes me feel wanted

Like no one has before

He don't want nothing from me

But to know my love's for sure

Hate to be you watching him love me

I'd hate to be you watching him touch me

Now I am blessed to have what I need

Nothing compares, he's all I see yeah

When I loved you, I didn't love me

You were this dark cloud hanging above me

Got all my girls like "Lexi where'd you go?

You've begun to slip away into where nobody knows"

Oh I-I-I-I I'm doing better

I brushed myself off, changed the weather

Like the sun, you are so warm and for once I feel adored

Oh I could not ask for more

He makes me feel wanted

Like no one has before

He don't want nothing from me

But to know my love's for sure

Hate to be you watching him love me

I'd hate to be you watching him touch me

Now I am blessed to have what I need

Nothing compares, he's all I see yeah

I was so in awe of her singing and of this song. I knew it was about our relationship because she's always thanking me for saving her.

"Play that shit back." I told her and she did as told. But she turned the volume down so she can talk to me.

"So do you like it?" Lexi but her lip. A nervous habit of her's that I found to be a turn on.

"It's amazing... Put that shit on Soundcloud," I suggested. "After I lay a verse on it." I cheesed and she giggled before slapping my chest.

"We'll get your ass in that booth Papi." Alexis winked at me as I walked towards the booth and put my headphones on.

"Ard.. Ard play it back one more time. Nah wait... Start it right at the end of your second verse," I licked my lips. "Yeah, I like that.. Right there."

Nicki's POV

As usual.. There was a fight at the carnival so the cops shut the place down. So me & Lira went home & I went into my room bumping T.I. as I braided the top of my hair. I only do this occasionally because when my hair is naturally curly the top part of my head doesn't wanna stay curly to it's like a straight curly & it gets on my nerves and ugh! I can't explain it but it makes sense in my head.

So anyway. This fucking bitch barges in my room fucking up my groove. Lira looked at me and laughed.

"My nigga. You remember Coolio from Kenan & Kel?" She asked and I nodded still trying to understand where she's coming from with this interpretation.

"You look exactly like him." I didn't say anything for a few seconds. I turned back to the mirror and stared at my self for 2 minutes. 

Lira's goofy ass came behind me and mimicked Coolio's voice from the Kenan & Kel show theme song. "AWWWW HERE IT GOES!!!!"

We both bussed out laughing. I couldn't come back with a smart ass remark like I usually do because she really got me. Lira won this round... For now...

"Yoooo you really hit as shit Nic" I took my phone out and snapped a picture and put it on Snapchat and sent it to my story, and then I sent it to the squad.

"Ard now get out. I gotta get ready for bed. Goodnight love you boo." I blew her kisses and pushed Lira out of my room and shut the door behind her.
