Chapter 11: Who Said I Was an Angel?

Start from the beginning
                                    

Lauren shrugs. "Let's do it then."

"Okay, so I'll act as moderator, and you guys could just text back regularly. Like, you're having a real conversation."

"Mmmkay," Normani says skeptically.

"First song. Choose an emoji that describes it."

"They already know this song. It's DOWN."

"It doesn't matter."

"What about the finger that points down?" Dinah suggests.

They all agree, send the emoji in the group chat, and move on to the next song. The chat reads:

Tara: Great!! Song 2? He Like That

Lauren: I think maybeee a guy emoji with the 'okay' hand and an arrow pointing at the girl

Normani: What are your thoughts babies?

Dinah: Babies? Lmao.

Normani: Yeah, you're my lil mufasa.

Dinah: Love it

Ally: I like that, Lauren

Lauren: Cooool

Dinah: Shut it Mani

Lauren: Lmaooooo

Ally: LOL

Dinah looks up at Normani, who winks back. Dinah smiles and buries her head back into her phone. Normani does the same.

Tara: Track 3? Sauced Up

Ally: I got this one! A Champaign emoji and the arrow that points up

Dinah: yasssss. Cheers to daaaat

"We need to go quicker, guys," Ally instructs. The girls try not to giggle.

"We should mention we wrote most of these," Normani adds.

"Yessss. We totally should."

"Like you and Lauren wrote Sauced Up."

They continue:

Tara: Track 4? Make You Mad

Normani: Awe. That's the record Ally and I wrote.
