EXCELLENCE

Diane/Oc (VIII)

A/n Loosely based on episode 2 of season 8

"He likes Diane." Jack says making Diane roll her eyes. Rainbow places a hand over her chest, "Aw that's so sweet." She says. Diane hums, "It is, isn't it?" She asks softly and proceeds to throw the necklace she got in the trash, "Diane?! Why would you throw that in the trash?" Bow instantly asks. Diane scoffs, "Obviously, SHE got that out of a gum all machine. My American Doll had better jewelry than that." She states. Ruby nods, "That's right, baby! Never lower your standards, baby. Boy or girl! Accept a cheap necklace today, tomorrow,  she's putting your name on a business loan for HER record label!" She says. Pretty much everyone in Diane's household knew she was bisexual and they never really cared, as long as she was happy, "Ironic considering she makes music." Diane mutters, "Wait whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, whatever happened to 'it's the thought that counts'?" Bow asks in disbelief. Bow proceeds to tell her life story when she was little, boring the family to death,

"See, mom is right, the material gift isn't important." Junior agreed, "And besides, women these days, they don't care about diamonds. They want something that comes from the heart." He finishes. Bow nods, "Exactly. What do you think of Joyner?" She asks. Diane shrugs, "Well, I think it's a shame that her gift game is trash because... she's actually kind of cute." She says. Jack coughs, "FINE." He says. Diane glares at her twin, "Shut up." She says. Ruby shakes her head, "Baby... find you an ugly one who's ready to spend the coin!" She exclaims. Jack blinks, "That's what my teacher did and she doesn't have to teach math anymore." He says. Bow shakes her head, "Don't listen to your grandmother or brother. If you think you like Joyner, then I think you should give her a chance." Diane thinks about it for a split second, "I guess I can go on one date." She says with a closed lip smile.

"Joyner, you're this close to bagging the finest girl in our school and you finna pussy out, my nigga?" Joyner's older cousin, Timothee, asks with a raised eyebrow. Joyner slides from up under the car she was working on, "Nigga, you should have seen her face when I gave her that necklace. I mean, i thought it was pretty and it took me a while to pick it out..." She mutters disappointedly, "Lowkey feel like she's one of those girls. That love material things, you know. And, until my placement goes through, I can't get her nothing good..." Joyner says, sliding back under the car, "I say fuck ha!" DeMarcus, Joyner's uncle says, "If she don't appreciate your necklace that you obviously put more thought into than yo damn homework, she ain't worth it!" Joyner frowns from under the car,

"Girls like that only want one thing. Money! And when they can't get it from you, on to the next bidder they go. Pretty soon they'll marry the sucker, name the child after you and claim it's yours to sucker you back in only to find out it was the man they married and she just wanted some more good dick and for someone to actually splurge on her." DeMarcus rants. Joyner slowly pushes herself from under the car, "You good, old man? That sounded personal." She asks. Timothee laughs, "On god, nigga!" He laughs out.

Joyner sighs, "I don't know, guys. I been crushin on Diane for a while now. Since Freshman year and to actually get the chance to take her out? I can't fuck this up." She mutters, ignoring the ding on her phone. DeMarcus scoffs, "These hoes don't want nun but dick or money. Unlucky for you, you got the one that wants money. At least when you dick em down, they come back. Bitches love good dick and toxic dick. Broke dick too, they don't curr." He states.

Joyner rolls her eyes, "Maybe she isn't like that..." She says hopefully. Timothee scoffs, "Her daddy AND mama got money. She spoiled. She like that. Nigga ain't got no money, they can't bag ha. It's like Destiny's Chilren or jus fuckin Beyoncé haself mane. That's how bitches are these days. Got parents that spoil them so they want to continue to be spoiled." DeMarcus high fives Timothee, "I taught you right boy!" He exclaims.
