'Jesus, Ruby' Angel sighed as Ruby slammed a heavy book on the table, making us all jump.
We were back at Ruby's house, planning Olivia's quince together. Angel went along because she wanted to help.
Who am I kidding? She was bored and has to wait till tomorrow to buy weed. So she went with us.
'Everyone, please open your e-devices and find the email I sent titled 'Winning'' he told us in a formal tone. 'Why winning?' I asked him confused as we began looking for his email.
'Why not?' He answered, making Angel shrug from beside me. 'Find it? Good'
'Because after copious hours of searching through Olivia's quincespirations' Ruby began. Angel and I looked at eachother confused before trying to say the word 'quincespirations'.
'I've compiled the best ideas on a Pinterest page on the link below her headshot' he continued. 'You look like Britney Spears with that mic' I told Ruby, making Angel nod heavily in agreement.
'Where's Olivia?' Cesar asked annoyed. 'The princesa doesn't need to be bothered with the details' Ruby stated like it was obvious.
'But, isn't it her quince?' Angel asked, but quickly raised her hands in defense as Ruby gave her a death stare.
'Now, anyone else have a dumb question? Huh? Good' he said, before he could respond.
'And before we really get going, I'd like to remind you that we're not just friends and family, we're damas and chambelanes in Olivia's court de honor, which means being honorable and dedicated' he continued.
'Wait, I'm a dama?' Angel asked confused. 'Yes, you are. You're part of this now' Ruby said sternly, making Angel whine. 'I have to go to every fuckin meeting now?' She whined to me. She groaned as I nodded at her.
'So, take a look at our mandatory rehearsal schedule and-' Ruby got cut off by his Britney Spears mic ringing.
'Excuse me. I need to take this' he cleared his throat before answering the phone. 'Ruby's fancy festivities'
Angel and I snort at the name, Jamal trying not to laugh. 'How are you and Elijah' Angel whispered as everyone was busy doing something.
'Good' I whispered back, smiling. 'You're smiling' she teased, making me blush. 'Do you think you guys are gonna become a couple?' She asked me, making me shrug.
'I mean, I don't think I'll hate it' I told her. Angel gasped, I immediately shushed her. 'You really like him' she said, making me nod. 'Let's hope he really likes me too'
'Apparently ordering a goat drawn carriage is more complicated that I thought' Ruby sighed, cutting our conversation short.
'Who knew there was a goat wranglers union? I kid you not' he told us, Angel laughing after what he said.
'Pun intended' Ruby pointed at Jamal. 'Whatever, man' Jamal rolled his eyes. 'So, we're gonna need to rethink the carriage' Ruby sighed.
'You all think the twins can pull it?' Ruby asked hopefully. 'No' Cesar stated as we all looked at him like we're crazy. 'That's child abuse, Ruby' I told him.
'Fine, moving on' he sighed. 'The following individual responsibilities-' 'I'll handle music' Cesar sighed, already knowing what Ruby was gonna say.
'Great minds think alike, compa'
'Monse, given your expert penmanship, you're gonna do invitations' Ruby told her. 'No' she smiled fakely at him.
'Use card stock' he told her anyway. 'Jamal, you can cater. And by you, I mean your dad' Ruby clarified.
