"Should I wear this one or that one?." Amala asked holding two outfits in her hands. The breakfast she was talking about had turned to lunch, when this little bomb powder here deciding she wanted to do a full on shopping just to look nice for Ming's party. I was soo exhausted I didn't even buy anything for myself, just running from store to store holding her shit.

"That one I guess." I replied pointing to the outfit in her left hand. It was a black cut out mini dress. "It'll go great with the black straight wig" I shrugged, laying my head tiredly on my heart shaped pillow.

"Onika.." She whined. I looked at her with eyes that tiredly told her to leave me, she just ignored them and waited for me to speak.

"What?."

"Where's the fun in youuu?." She whined poking my side.

"We musta left it at the store. Maybe we forgot it when you were packing bags upon bags of clothing and wigs." I rolled my eyes. Dumb-ass question.

"Shut yo ass. What are you going to wear to Danielle's birthday party?." This bitch. I simply just glared at her and turned my head down. Did she forget I still wasn't cool with the whole party thing?, now she's asking me what I'm gonna wear.

"Py fucking jamas. There will be no party, I need to sleep. Your shopping's drained my energy, and that reminds me, I haven't even eaten." I stood up and started walking downstairs as Amala followed behind me.

There were balloons being blown downstairs already with streamers and a couple of strangers, helping Ming out with whatever the hell she was doing.

"Onika, what ever complaints you have will just have to be thrown out the window." Amala said from behind me. I rolled my eyes, and ignored her, walking into the kitchen.

I grabbed the bread and some other stuff for a sandwich and went to the island. Ming, my only problem, walked in directly after.

"Mmh, dear sister." She smiled.

"Cockroach." I replied, not bothering to look at her. Her smile instantly faded and she scoffed.

"Why are you soo sad?."

"I'm not sad."

"You are, you've been sad since you turned 19." Did she smoke?.

"Girl, are you fine?."

"Yes. Onika, you're getting bitter, the old one I know will love this party idea but you're not interested." She said, gulping down on a bottle of water she held in her hands. Oh lawd. I facepalmed at her stupidity and looked her in the eyes, trying to see if I could see her tiny little brain.

"It's obvious you got hands on Amala's crack." I said as I shook my head.

"I'm just sayin, even Summer's cool with the party and she's pregnant." She shrugged.

"That reminds me, where is that crazy rat?." I asked with a worried expression. I haven't seen her since this morning, and Amala's been with me all day, knowing Ming, Summer is currently needing help.

"In her room, getting ready, like all the normal and not sad people."

"Go fuck yourself." I stood up from where I'd been seated, grabbed my sandwich and went upstairs to Summer's room.

I knocked on the door first with no answer being heard afterwards. I just proceeded to enter. She was seated at her vanity, in a red plunge bra and a pair of jeans. She was crying her eyes out.

"Summie, what's wrong?." I squated beside her she held her face in my hands.

"I tried to call Ché, he hasn't spoken to me since we started staying at Ming's house. He picked up the call and insulted me. He said, he doesn't want to have anything to do with me." Ugh, that guy. I rolled my eyes at just the sound of his name. He irritated me soo much. I just wanna shoot him down.

"He don't need you darling, you're worth much more." I hugged her and let her cry on my shoulder. It was partly her fault tho, she shouldn't have spread her legs for a 50 something year old man, but if Ché really loved her, she'd be with him instead.

"Now fix yourself, I want you looking prettier than the celebrant you hear." I didn't even wait for her to reply before I flashed her a smile, picked up my plate and left the room.

I went back to mine, Doja was there again, trying out wigs.

"Don't you have anything else to do?. Or anyone else's room to stand in?." I dropped the Sandwich on the table, I'd lost my appetite. I just needed sleep.

"No. And I just want to annoy you."

"Okay well its working." I slumped down on the bed staring off into space, soon enough my eyes shut.

"Stop crying. You look like 4oe." Di said handing me tissues as I blew my nose, did she really just call me a dog?.

"Hell naw, 4oe's way prettier. Aren't you baby?." The dog's mama giggled, making kissy faces at her dog. I just rolled my eyes at her. It wasn't even my fault, they made me watch the titanic, the movie's just so sad.

"Bey, you're such a softy." Joann said, getting into the conversation as she came out of the kitchen with a plate of fries in her hand.

"Whatever." I sniffed for the last time, cleaning my eye. My mascara was a hot mess.

"So, now that that's done, what's next on our itinerary for today?." Megan asked sneaking a fry from Joann's plate and sticking it in her mouth. We were supposed to be having an all girls day. So far, we've gone to the mall, gotten our nails done and for Diamonté and Megan who wanted to, they did their hair. The movie was also a part of our plans, now we're just sitting here eating more fries than the owner.

"Ion know, Diamonté's supposed to be the planner." Joann shrugged. We all turned to Di looking at her with a what's next look.

"One more movie, and then we play 7 minutes in heaven?." She asked shrugging. She definitely had nothing planned but we all agreed.

"Where are her shoes?."

"Did you check the other part of the wardrobe?."

"Yeah, I checked there, it's the ending part innit?."

"Oh damn, that's where she usually keeps them." I opened my eyes to see Ming standing in front of me, with her index on her chin with another girl who had my slipper in her hand.

"What the French fry?." I rubbed my eyes trying to get the sleep out as I heard light shuffling.

"Go!, go!, go!." Ming yelled shooing this said girl out. I opened my eyes fully to see only her now, still in front of me, smiling awkwardly.

"Heyyyyy Tanya." She said blowing me a kiss. I waved it away.

"Why are you here, I hate bugs." She rolled her eyes and put a hand on her hip. I stood up and made my way to the bathroom. "And who was that girl?, and why were ya'll looking for my shoes?."

"She's Danielle. And we were looking for your pink pumps. We or I thought it'll be in the place you kept your shoes, which reminds me, did you change the spot?." I smirked, turning on the tap and splashing water on my face.

"Yes." After I noticed that she and Amala figured out where I kept my shoes, I had to change their  location.

"Whatever. You should come downstairs tho, alot of people showed up. And Mala is bussn' it down there." I shrugged.

"Give me a few minutes." I said smiling at her, might as well just get into it. She smiled back and left the room leaving me to search for an outfit.

After almost an hour, I finally found one, a Fendi two piece. I threw it on with my crocs and came downstairs, Amala was really bussn' it. She had her tongue out twerking and everything. Everyone and everything smelled like alcohol but the vibe was good.

I walked over to the bar, they'd set up for drinks and requested one before Ming came staggering over to me. How fast did it take her to get that high. She slumped down on a seat beside me and pulled it so she was actually looking at me and not backwards.

"Girl what did you consume?."

"Magic." She laughed. A little too much. "Anyway, can I use your phone to call someone I can't find mine." I squinted at her, wondering why she didn't just ask her friends or Amala even. But she was drunk right now so I gave her the phone.

"Thanks." She hiccuped. I watched her dial something before putting the phone to her ear and walking away.

"I should what!?." Barbie had called me 12 minutes into our game and what she was saying was absolutely weird.

"Just facetime me. I have something important to say." The person hiccuped.

"I'm sorry, are you Barbie?."

"No." They sound rather confused. This was obviously a prank.

"Man, I do not like this type of shit, first you say I'm a bitch then you try to prank call me." I rolled my eyes.

"It's not... a prank. Just facetime me." The person said and hung up. I was extremely confused but I did it either way. I sent the call and waited for her to accept it.

"Here, someone's calling." Ming said returning back a few minutes later and giving me my phone back. Beyoncé was face timing me. Before i could question her, she returned back to the dance floor.

I accepted the facetime call just to see what she had to say.

"Hmm?." I asked as her big head popped on the screen.

"You said to facetime you?."

"I'm sorry hmm?."

"Whatever. Look, I'm sorry for the way I acted, since you obviously don't want to just be the bigger person and end this, I'm apologising." She shrugged. Something fishy was going on, but her apology seemed genuine.

"I'll think about it. Glad you agree you did something wrong tho." I smiled.

"Speaking like you didn't." She smiled back. I rolled my eyes and let my smile disappear, she just had to ruin it.

"Mmh, I guess I'm sorry too, lemme think about it." I ended the call right there, taking my drink from the bartender and chugging it down.

Amala and Ming are responsible.
