September 8th

Onika "Nicki" Maraj

"Bestfriendd."

I walked to Meek's room and saw him pretending to be sleep.

"I know you're not sleep Rihmeek. Wake up. I need some help."

"With what Nic?"

"Makeup or no makeup?"

"None. Only eyeliner."

I watched him throw his arm over his eyes and I pouted.

"Why don't you like me wearing makeup?"

"Nic, you're beautiful without it. No matter what that nigga says, you're beautiful no matter what. Don't let him tell you any different."

"Aww Rihmeek. You're so nice. That's exactly why you're my best friend."

"Yeah yeah.", I heard him say as I walked out.

Robert "Meek" Williams

My phone started ringing so I answered it without seeing who it was. Bad mistake.

"Hello?"

"Where the fuck are you? I thought we were supposed to meet up."

"Fah chill the fuck out with that. It's too early for this shit."

I turned to look at the time on my dresser and it said 1:43 P.M.

"Meek! It's almost 2 in the afternoon."

"Aight."

"So we meeting up or not? I got other plans."

"Yeah we meeting up. Give me another hour."

"Don't have Nicki answering the door either. I don't think she likes me."

"Okay."

I hung up the phone and saw Nicki walking.

"She was right. I don't like her."

I laughed and put my phone back on the charger.

"Didn't you say a hour? You can't get ready if you're just laying there."

"I'll get up."

I threw my arm back over my eyes and Nicki poked my stomach.

"if I get out the shower and you're not gone, I will trash your room!", Nicki yelled walking out.

I heard the front door open and Nicki & I ran downstairs.

"We're back!", Carol yelled.

I kissed her cheek then took the McDonald's bag from her and went to the kitchen with Nicki behind me.

"So, what are the plans today?", Robert asked.

"Well I'm going to meet up with Jacob and Rihmeek is going to meet up with Fah."

"Nic come on. I left that name when I was little. It's Meek now."

"You will always be Rihmeek to me.", Carol said.

Nicki put a french fry in my face and I bit it.

"Hey!"

We laughed and kept on eating.

"Well, we're about to be gone for the next 4 days. Remember tomorrow, school on time. I don't want any calls. Get homework done. No parties.", Carol said and we nodded.
