Culturally Biased

"You make a terrible me."

Earlier today...

Narrator

"So what are you and Daysia doing today?" Annick asked, getting her clothes out of her dresser and running back into the bathroom to get dressed.

"She wanted to go to some art gallery I guess." Randy said.

"Well that may turn out boring or interesting." She said, coming out in her repeatedly rolled up jeans and flannel.

"True. I'm just hoping she doesn't snap at me today."

"Don't worry. Maybe your positivity won't annoy her so much right now since she's in a happy place."

"Yeah I hope."

"Annick! Are you ready to go?" They heard Jeffery call from downstairs.

"Coming!" She yelled back.

She sighed.

"It feels weird going somewhere with a guy that isn't you."

"Don't worry. Jeffery can be nice. You just have to let him."

She shrugged.

"Alright I'll see you." She said kissing him and walking to the door.

She walked down the stairs and Jeffrey was sitting with Daysia.

He flashed a friendly smile and Annick tried her best to flash one back.

"Alright you two. Jeffery, no being mean. Especially since Annick is extremely sensitive...and violent. Now Annick, no being snappy. Okay?"

The two nodded.

"I expect the same thing from you when you hang out with Randy today."

"Alright. Now y'all have fun."

The two stepped outside and Jeffery led Annick to his car.

"What are we doing?" Annick asked.

"We are getting sushi. Daysia told me you liked it, correct?"

"Yeah." Annick chuckled.

"Alright well, tell me about yourself Annick."

"Uh..." She awkwardly fiddled with her fingers.

"Look, yeah we got off on the wrong foot. I made your friend mad, you pulled my hair, things just got bad. But I'm willing to try if you are."

There was a long moment of silence.

"What do you wanna know?"

"I don't know...what's your favorite book?"

She chuckled.

"Do you even know Daysia's favorite book?"

"To kill a mockingbird." He said cockily.

"Alright I'll give you that. And it's 100 years of solitude. What's yours?"

"The same as my lady. Harper Lee is quite the genius."

"Cool, cool."

"How about favorite song...and don't even try betting that I don't know Daysia's favorite song because I already know that it's So Into You by Tamia." He smirked.

She rolled her eyes.

"It's poetic justice by Kendrick Lamar. You?"

"Get down on it-Kool & The Gang."

"Well damn..."

"Yep, might be Asian but I can get down."

"Oh my lord...okay um, favorite movie?"
