i finally enter my home after the longest day of my life. i see denzel sitting on the couch watching rick and morty.

"hey denz" i greet putting all my bags down "hey kam. you good?" he asked

"yeah i'm good. you?"

"yeah i'm hella tired though." he said rubbing his face

"lmao. then go sleep." i laughed

"why do you say 'lmao'. does it have to be abbreviated?" he asked

"i dunno. who would randomly 'laugh my ass off'. do you know how long that is?"

he just laughed and continued watching rick and morty

i grabbed my chocolate bar and my phone from my bag and checked the time.

12:27 am

shit. i guess i got carried away with the time.

i reached the first floor and walked to delany's room. i knocked and peeked my head through the door.

"hey babygirl." i said entering her room

"hey kammy." she smiled

i laughed at my nickname she made up and sat on her bed with her "how are you baby?" i asked

"i'm good. i can't sleep for some reason." she said pausing the episode of rick and morty she was watching on her phone.

yup, i'm buying her a new phone for christmas.

"why not?" i asked

"i dunno. i keep thinking about quinc-."

"queen elizabeth" she said quickly recovering the name quincy

"oooo girl. who's quincy?" i squealed

"omg kamiya. calm down." she said sitting up trying to cover my mouth but i pulled back and started laughing.

"tell me all about him." i said sitting back on her bed

"you sure you won't tell derek or denzel?"

i raised my pinky finger in the air and locked with hers.

"okay. so he's in my biology class and we've recently gotten picked to be partners for our next project." she said all happily

"now he can finally notice me." she smiled

"awh that's so cute!" i said grabbing onto her and hugging her

"i want him to notice me more though. like i dunno." she hesitated

"why do you wanna be noticed? you're beautiful just way you are and if doesn't notice that he's a weirdo. you should be yourself." i smiled

"i just wanna stand out." she sighed

"what do you mean by that?"

"i- i just- i" she was lost of words

"i wanna change my ways. my looks. my everything. i want a makeover." she blurted

"you came to the right person." i said lifting my eyebrows up and down.

"but we'll start tomorrow after school. ya girls tired as fudge right now." i said yawning

"yeah. you just wanna go hug up on derek." she teased sticking her tongue out

"damn right i do." i laughed getting off her bed. "see ya babygirl." i said walking to her door.

an idea then came to my head.
