"ZOEY YOU GON come with us to the stu with dd and them?" jahzara asked as she fluffed out her ponytail. zoey was currently half asleep in her bed while she was on call with jah and marie.

las night, the only thing she could focus on was finding the person who had sent the email to the principal. zoey knew that if anyone found out it was her, she would be dead. so, she was determined to do whatever it takes to prove her innocence and clear her name.

as much zoey really liked to hang out with her friends—she was tired. she was up til 5 trying to find a way to track the account. she had gotten the school id somehow to go look through the teacher email accounts.

but not once was she able to secure the password of her principal, she almost threw her macbook out before she remembered—she's not rich.

"i don't know y'all. i'm really tired i think i'm gonna take a nap," zoey's voice was barely audible, and she seemed to be struggling to keep her eyes open. She had never been one to stay inside the house, and her friends knew that she loved going out and doing something fun. however, this time was different. it was already 2 pm on a saturday, and zoey was still in bed, looking tired and uninterested in doing anything.

jahzara scrunched her eyebrows up. everybody knew that zoey was one to never stay inside the house, nor did she even like sleeping that much. especially on saturdays—you would at least expect her to help her mom with something around the house.

"zoey is you sick? cause you never like to stay inside and suddenly you trynna sleep, wassup?" jahzara asked as she oooked and zoey through the phone screen. zoey just shrugged and said that she was just really tired. jahzara could tell that something was off, but she decided to just brush it off.

"zoey if you don't get out of that damn bed and get your ass outside that house. hell will rise." marie spoke to her on the other line while zoey's mouth dropped.

marie wasn't the type hood back anything she had to say, if she wanted to say something she was gonna say it. that's what always blows zoey's mind away—marie frankly just doesn't care.

zoey let out a quiet huff as she pushed the blankets off of her. she gets up from her bed, looked in the mirror to look at her current attire. she was dressed in a oversized graphic tee along with her nike pros. she looked at herself for a moment, trying to decide if she should change, but ultimately shrugged and decided it was good enough to go outside

zoey slipped on some socks and her black yeezy slides, feeling the coolness of the tiles on her feet. she walked over to her drawer to grab her airpods since she knew she was gonna need that on the way of walking there.

zoey connected her airpods to her phone, tuning out jahzara and marie who were in the middle of a heated debate. they were arguing about whether brent faiyaz or bryson tiller was the better artist. zoey didn't really care about the argument, but she didn't want to get involved.

she it herself on mute as she walked down the stairs, seeing both her parents watching a movie—her mom half asleep on her dads shoulder while he was sparking up.

zoey walked into the living room, greeted by her dad who was sitting on the couch. "wassup, zozo, you goin out?" he asked, looking up at her. zoey nodded her head, making her way to the fridge to grab a water bottle. she twisted the cap off, taking a long swig of water before answering. "yeah, jah and marie want to go to the studio with marie's cousins."

her dad nodded, putting the blunt to his lips to seal it close, "you gon be out late?" zoey shocked her head as she finished her water and tossed the bottle in the recycling bin, walking over to her cabinet that held her keys.

"no i'm gonna be at home by at least 5 the latest. i'm gonna text you tho." she nods her head.

her dad nodded as he took a hit of the blunt before putting it back down. "aight well me and ya motha gon be right here. if we not then.." he trailed his words on while zoey rolled her eyes.

"nasty, stop it," she gagged while her dad just smiled, scratching his wife's hair. zoey knew that her dad and his wife were always affectionate with each other, it was cute but gross. "nut i'm gonna go now. bye, y'all!" zoey waved goodbye as she closed the door, hearing her dad say his goodbyes too.

zoey unmutes herself and put her head down to face phone screen. "nah i think he broke up with her because she wanted babies and he didn't." marie kissed her teeth as she shook her head.

zoey holds in the laugh while she walks down to marie's block. marie, jahzara and zoey's friendship wasn't like a normal trio—none of them preferred each other over any of them. they all shared the same kinda love for each other.

they had known each other for years and had been through a lot together. they had a deep bond that was built on trust, love, and support. they were always there for each other, no matter what.

the trio loved to hang out and do things together, whether it was going to the movies, trying out new things together, or just having random sleepovers. they were the type to get on facetime and not talk for the whole entire time.

none of them had any secrets they didn't share with each other.

zoey hung up the phone when she saw marie come into view. she jogged up to marie and engulfed her in a small hug before dropping her arm to wrap it around marie's shoulder.

"jah where you at right now?" marie asked into the phone while they stood there, listening to jahzara on the other line."i'm at the deli—a nigga hungry bro, y'all want anythin?"

marie snickered before nodding and making a decision that they were all going to meet jahzara at the deli. "we're going to meet you there," marie said before hanging up the phone.

the trio ended up meeting there to buy snacks the trio ended up meeting at the deli to buy snacks. jahzara was already there, standing in line to pay. while marie and jahzara were skimming around the deli for stuff.

zoey didn't even look for anything she wanted, she looked for stuff she thinks ddot would like.

it was safe to say that zoey was glad that her planned worked, even though she wasn't gonna focus on it for now. if she tries to forget it, it would be time that everybody else forgets it.

the girls walk to the studio with jahzara having a big bowl of ice creamed in her hand with a spoon—taking big scoops of it before eating. jahzara was unbothered as she talked with her friends cause who was gonna stop her from eating?

no one.

marie walked down the blocks with her hands occupied with bags since she was always the one they ended up carrying the bags, even though she swore up and down it didn't hurt her hands—it was just her pride not letting her.

zoey just had a small bag of chips that weren't for her—actually none of them were for her, she bought some for notti, dd and ddot since she would think they would be tried of being in a hot studio all day long.

of course she didn't forget about her girls, she bought them snacks too—if not most of them were what filled the bag up so much.

and the crazy thing was their wasn't one thing in that plastic bag that was for her.

when the girls arrived at the studio, marie was the one that texted one of the boys to come open the for them since it was locked from the outside. and dd was the one to open it.

"oh so now ya niggas decided to walk ya ass around here." dd put a hand on his hip like he was someone's mother while the girls just looked at him stupid. "fuck outta here." jahzara pushed him out the way but before she even knew it dd sprinted right behind her.

marie held zoey's free hand, walking inside.

the air was thick with the pungent smell of weed and a mix of different colognes. the smoke seemed to linger in the air, making it difficult to see anything with it flowing around the room.

"yo cuzzo." notti held his hand out for marie to dab up but she only rolled her eyes, letting a small smile creep on her face before throwing him the bag of snacks that were stuffed in the plastic bag.

zoey's eyes scanned the room, searching for ddot. she looked hopeful at first, but as she realized he wasn't there, her eyebrows furrowed in disappointment.

"your manz in there z," notti nodded his head to the recording booth causing zoey to turn her head back to see it is ddot who was sitting on one of the chairs, you could see him over the mirror cause he was tall.

zoey noticed that ddot has fresh twists in which caused her to smile really hard. zoey felt a little nudge on the back of her leg, she could already tell it was marie from the nail pinches.

she turned back around to see marie with a deadpan expression. "if you don't go get ya man zoey." she crossed her arms, crossing her hands together. zoey didn't even get to say anything before she felt marie turning her whole body around and pushing her but not that hard.

zoey walked slowly to the recording booth, her heart beating fast in her chest. she took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. she wasn't sure why she was so nervous, but she was excited to see ddot. as she opened the door to the booth, a small smile rested on her face. she felt ddot's eyes land on her, and she looked up to meet his gaze.

they locked eyes, and she felt a flutter in her stomach. ddot didn't even try to hide the smile that was on his lips. he waved his hand over to her as a gesture for her to walk over to him.

zoey did it in a heartbeat, placing the plastic bag on the floor. before she even knew it ddot pulled her onto his lap, positioning it to the way she was straddling him. "i ain't know you was comin." he mumbled.

zoey giggled at the vibration it gave her in her body. "well, i'm here now," she said, her voice tinged with excitement. "jahzara, marie, and i went to the deli before we came, so i bought you some snacks. i bought the things i would think you like the most, and if you don't like them, i can go back and get you something else, or not if you want to—"

ddot interrupted her, "imma love 'em, ma. calm down." zoey smiled at him, feeling happy and relieved.

"well, what are you doing now? i didn't know you rapped—omg i should rap for you." zoey stopped her own sentence mid way, ddot was in the midst of drinking a water bottle but almost choked on it when she had said that.

"hell no nigga." he let out a small laugh afterwards while zoey looked at him with a frown.

ddot's smile dropped when he realized that—zoey never really frowned. even if she was upset with something she would always plant a fake smile on to her face to make it seem like it was okay.

so when zoey didn't put up the fake facade that's when ddot knew she wasn't having none of it.

ddot let out a annoyed sigh knowing that he couldn't escape this girl even if he wanted to. he reached for one of the candies that were in the bag zoey brought for him.

the two sat in silence while zoey just started at him, "so you jus gon keep starin at me like i'm crazy for not letting you rap?" ddot asked which zoey immediately nodded her head at.

"yeah i've heard some of notti's and dd's songs, yours too like y'all go grah grah boom—boom boom grah." she mimicked their deep voices causing ddot to bust out laughing.

zoey looked at him with a bland stare cause she really didn't know what he was laughing so hard about. while ddot on the other hand was loosing his organs with how much he was laughing.

he hiccuped before he spoke, "nigga you said boom boom grah?"

zoey nodded confidently. "yeah i could do those adlib thingies for you—omg even better let's freestyle!!" she jumped from his lap and began clapping her hands in amusement. ddot smiled softly, "you wanna do a freestyle ma?"

zoey nodded frantically. that's when ddot let his eyes do a look over of her fit, realizing she was barely wearing clothes.

ddot furrowed his eyebrows. "why you barely wearing clothes now? fuck you think this is zoey?" he said in a stern tone but he didn't even mean it like that. he was only trying to look after he cause everybody knew how new york niggas were.

zoey let her smile fall, an embarrassed expression taking over her face. "what does it look bad?"

ddot shook his head as he took off the hoodie, placing it in her hands. "you look good zo, real good. i promise you but niggas gon take that too and—i deadass don't like that." he let out a dry laugh.

zoey bit her lip but nodded her head nonetheless, slipping on the warm hoodie over her head, it smelled really good. like it wasn't even filled with cologne—it smelled like fresh out of the dryer and that's what made her like the smell so much.

"aight hollon—yo turn on a freestyle beat real quick." ddot put on his headphones, passing the other pair to zoey who looked at them with a spark in her eyes.

it didn't take a while until a beat came on in both of the headphones which caused zoey to cheese so bad her jaw was gonna get swollen. zoey looked out the window to see jahzara and marie clapping their hands, yelling but the walls were sound proof.

"okay zoey day sum." ddot looked at her with a smug smile on his face while zoey clapped her hands—clearing her throat.

"uh boom grah grah uh. yeah grah grah uh boom yeah." zoey nodded her head with a satisfied smile while ddot just started laughing so hard his stomach hurting. dd and notti busted in the booth hyping zoey up, shaking her around like she did something.

"wait let ha do it again!! let ha do it again!!" notti spoke in the headphones waiting til the beat came on again. when it did zoey cleared her throat, "they like zoey grah grah boom, yeah."

zoey laughed throughout her words, she wasn't even able to say it normally before being pushed around by notti and dd. "zoey bbb, who is bigger then sheee?" notti shook her around.

zoey knew they didn't take this seriously. they were just playfully teasing her and making her laugh, and zoey loved every minute of it. even though she was saying a bunch of nonsense, she didn't mind because she was having so much fun with her friends. zoey couldn't help but smile widely, feeling grateful for her friends. they always knew how to make her laugh and feel real happy.

there wasn't one day she didn't thank god for having such good friends, they were all the perfect match for each-other in someway or somehow.

zoey smiled really hard, she loved her friends.

it didn't take long til jahzara and marie came into the booth, "ya let her do it again! she spat them bars real quick." jahzara said in the headphones and just like earlier the beat came back on.

"y'all not ready for this one.. grah grah—boom." zoey took off the headphones with a unbothered smile on her face while she was being absolutely hyped up for nothing.

"okay no cause now i actually wanna hear zoey freestyle.." dd trailed on with a smirk on his face.

zoey scoffed, "that wasn't enough? oh okay hold on—uh gang gang gang. mhm like grah." she nodded before throwing her headphones away like she did something. marie on the other hand was on the floor crying from laughter.

"nah zoey too much fa me, gangsta." ddot snickered with a smile on his face, doing the same gesture from earlier for zoey to come over to him.

it didn't take a while for the two to forget that their was other people in the room and ddot hugged her real tight. like the type of hug that you would think that they were gonna be leaving each other for a long time.

"that shit was soo ass zoey but it's fine cause you zoey. and that shit was mad corny i ain't even gon lie."

"it was not corny."

ddot let out a small laugh. "yeah the fuck it was, you sounded so.. i ain't even got the word you deadass just ruined my whole rapping career."

"you're mean."
