"Don't get nervous now." Boodah said, eyes low, once again staring into Mariposa's soul.
She kneeled down and placed the bottle on the floor. Taking a deep breath, she spun the bottle. She closed her eyes until she heard them gasp.
"Maneeee what?" James exclaimed.
"Oh well." Deja said putting on some lip gloss. "Come hea baby." She said to Mari.
She carefully held Deja's chin and leaned in for a breif but slow kiss while James dramatically covered his eyes with his hands.
"Ion wanna play no more." He whined.
"You taste good, girl." Deja said.
"I was bouta say." Mari added.

Friday
"How many people you invited?" Mari asked as she got ready with Deja at James' house.
"The whole grade. I do this every year."
"Mmm ok, celebrity." She said applying her lashes.
Mariposa was nervous and excited at the same time. She'd been to many parties in her country, and she knew this one wouldn't come close to the ones at home. She couldn't wait to see how they got down though.
"Ight, y'all can stay up here. Niggas already here n shit." James said rushing out the room to greet his guests.
"How you feelin?" Deja asked her.
"Eh, I'm kinda nervous. But I'm good." Mari started. "Don't say nothin, but I can't wait to see Boodah."
"Oouuu I peep you blushin."
Mari rolled her eyes as Dej continued to tease her.
"I'm mad he ain't even ask for my number yet. He know you have it."
"Girl... he has it." Dej said confused. "He snatched my damn phone outta Jay's hand on Monday after he hung up from you."
Mari scrunched up her face, finding her statement unbelievable.
"I thought he woulda messaged you by now." She said starting to get dressed.
"He did follow me on insta but that's it."
The girls stared at eachother then shrugged.

Ayy, where all of my City Girls at?
North Miami, where it all goes down
Heard it ain't no pity where you're at
And your dad don't know that your soul in lost and found
She don't want love
She don't love no one but herself
All she really cares about is a lace-front weave
And the boutiques from Chanel
What about lust?
What about lust? Do you trust yourself?
Anytime you walk out the door
It's a bag full of ones and lame nigga under your belt
But I won't judge
I won't judge, don't judge yourself
Promise I'm not here to burden you
I'm here to help
If you're looking for someone to change you life
Change your life
I can be the one who can change your life
If you're looking for someone who can change your life
Baby, I can be the one that can change your life
And I know that you're young and you're filled with life
Ain't no need to be ashamed, I don't judge nor bite
If you're looking for someone who can change your life
Ain't no need to cry, baby, wipe your eyes.
Deja and Mari sang along with Melly as they danced with eachother.
She was pleasantly surprised with how much she enjoyed the party. After a few shots, she loosened up real good.
