The Plot

Intro.

"Aw my pookie wookie" She whined as she threw her arms around me. We laughed as I pushed her off and fixed my hat. "Bitch get off me before we crash" I said laughing.

I pointed to the time as I pulled into the parking lot of ABI. 9:03 am. I cheered as I unhooked my seatbelt. "Thats literally what the fuck im talking about, like" I said as I grabbed my bags.

I walked into the school with a smile plastered on my face. I smells so sterile in here I thought. I waved to the lady behind the desk as I walked up.

"Hi doll, good morning. Are you here for the esthetician or the cosmetology school" She said as she smiled warmly at me.

"Hi there, good morning. I'm here for the esthetician school" I said returning the smile.

"Perfect, whats your name"

"Myli Valentino" She raised her eyebrow up at me before typing into her computer. She reached under her shuffling through the envelopes before holding it out to me with a smile.

"Welcome American Beauty Institute. Inside this envelope is your Student ID. This also allows you to get into the doors of the Campus, after today you will need to badge in everyday. Theres also a welcome letter and your student academia calendar. Lastly, there should be a lanyard for you to hang your ID on. Feel free to switch it out to one you may like"

I nodded as I took the envelope from here. "Thank you very much. Can you tell me which way to go"

"Of course, the esthetician side is on the right. Go past this desk, make a right and there should be elevators. Your classroom is 16A on this 6th floor" She said point to the right.

"Thank you again" I said as I made my way down the hall.

I blew out another long breath as I stood in-front of the door. My nerves were on ten. I walked in quickly scanning the room. A couple girls looked back at me. We exchanged smiles as I made my way to one of the few available seats. I sat down as I placed my bag on the table, almost knocking my Stanley on the girls stuff.

"Oop, I'm sorry" I said quickly snatching the cup up.

She giggled as she fanned me off. "You good girl, You didn't spill nothing"

I got my things adjusted and looked at her. She was a pretty girl of a lighter complexion. She had a pretty smile that complimented her full lips and nice teeth. I smiled at her "Im Myli, whats your name boo?" I questioned

"I'm Leilani, nice to meet you" She said extending her hand. I cheesed as I shook her hand

"You're mad pretty. If I would've known we can wear colors I would've wore green" I said looking over her pink scrubs.

"I was about to say the same to you. You're gorgeous, and I didnt read the syllable. I bought these and I'mma wear em until they say I cant" She said shrugging. I gave her look as we shared a laugh.

"Girl, if they don't say shit I'll def be in my shit tomorrow" I said "Do you know whats in all these boxes?" I questioned looking at the boxes sitting infront of us.

"No, but I do know we're supposed to get iPads. So who knows"

We continued to chat until an full figured older black lady came waltzing in the room. She was stunning, standing about 5'9, peanut butter toned skin, a blonde short cut and a big smile. She put me in the mind of Precious Lee.

"Good morning class" She beamed as she stood in front of the classroom. Her eyes roamed as she continued "I am your instructor, Cynthia Alobo. Im excited to be with you guys on your journey to get your 800 hours"

"As you all know, as with any first week of school we will be getting into a-lot of the meat and potatoes. That consistent of paper work, any type of aids and or assistance the schools offers and lastly rules and regulations ok?" She said to us raising her eyebrows with a smile. After a couple murmurs from the class she continued. "Okay, perfect so I run my class a little differently. I want us to be open and fun but" She said putting her pointer finger in the air. "I don't do mess or nonsense. That will be the quickest way to either be released from my class or if that's serious the program okay? and I promise you don't want that. Not to toot my own horn but theres nothing like my class or this institute" She laughed with the class as Individuals told jokes about how they're not fighting.

"Alright so, there are 12 of you and only one of me so let's popcorn around the room. I want you to say your name, give a little bio about yourself and what your goal is after this program. I'll start first" She said. She was 43, has had a 8 figure business, married with 3 kids. She lived in New York for most of her life before deciding to move to Jersey recently. She mentioned that this year would be her last year teaching in New York.

I listened to everyone as we went around the room. I felt really lucky after hearing most of their stories, almost everyone had a really cool vibe to them. I froze and smiled as I looked at the only boy in the class. I was the last popcorn. I cleared my throat before looking around. "Hi everybody, my name is Myli, um," I looked down at my nails for a second before continuing "Im 20, I dont really have much to say about myself. I have a small family, no kids but I am thinking about being a dog mom soon. um, follow me on ig'" I ended shrugging. I smiled when some of the girl laughed.

Ms. Alobo smiled as she nodded. "And, what is your goal after this?"

"To get my own suite and fully get to open my business" I said "So, I can be like Mrs. 8 figure business" I said pointing at her. We shared a laugh before she moved on.

"Okay so, I know you see the fifty-lem boxes infront of you all. I will explain whats in each box and how we're going to see the tools inside as we go along. First thing I want you to do is get the iPads out and set them up. If you need help, I can help but I'm sure your peers can help better. Once everyone is up and running we will continue."

The day breezed past and before you knew it, it was time for us to leave. I stopped and got this boy Jalyn number before continuing to my car. I pulled around to Leilani and waved to her as I rolled my window down. "You good, you got a ride?" I said

She nodded as she looked at her phone. "Yeah my nigga should be here any minute" She said just as an engine roared behind me. I checked my mirrors looking at the green charger. She walked up to my car and bent over into the window. "Give me your number boo. I like you. You smoke" She said as she extended her phone out to me.

I nodded as I took her phone locking my number in "Girl, do I" I joked as I handed the phone over to her.

She held her finger up before saying "Hold up, dont move" She jogged over to the other car and opened the door. I tried to see if I could make out the person in the driver seat but the tint was too dark. She jogged back over to me and held out a astronaut suit shaped bag. I tiled my head as I slowly took it from her hands.

"Free 8th on me" She said cheesing. "I texted boo, have a good night" She yelled back as she slid into the car. I looked down at the package and laughed to myself.

The school year just started and it's already felt amazing. Shit was about to be a movie.
