"Imma kill you" I said to Alex with a straight face and a cigarette in my hand
"Shine"she sighed I held up my hand
me, simone, star, and alexandra were in the backyard, talking about her father being Roland Crane. "so, your dad is one of the biggest stars on the planet and you just didn't feel like talking about it? why would you lie about that?" star asked  her as pissed as me   "to keep from having conversations like this one." she answers.  "you poor thing." the blonde tells her sarcastically.
"Lemme find a tear to shed for you"I said
"so, how rich are you?" simone asks her
"It ain't even about that Alex you lied to us we knew your were Rich but we didn't care your we're a fake ass trick" I said

He just goes back inside a little scared

simone shrugs her shoulders. "i mean, you are white." she tells us while laughing. star and me look at her with our eyebrows furrowed. 

We then  walk back into the salon to see alexandra and her parents talking in the kitchen. "pack your stuff." her father tells her.  "really? dad, I'm nineteen." alexandra reminds  him.  "and still using my credit cards. i'm supporting you. contacting my friends, trying to find out if some local manager is worth repping you. how do you think that makes me look?" he asks her.
"as always, it's about you." alexandra sighs.  "you were checking up on jahil?" I asked her as she and simone walked back into the kitchen.  "yeah, and?" alexandra questions.
"Imma choke you out later" I said she just waved her hand
"i go away for two weeks and you pull this one." her mother, rose, tells her.  "you're drinking again." the dark-skinned girl states.  "well, what do you think? you had me scared, disappearing like this." rose tells her.  alexandra slightly rolls her eyes. "look, i came to atlanta to work on my music."  "you didn't even tell marisol." roland says.  "that better not be your maid." star tells her as she slightly shakes her head. alexandra looks down and the blonde chuckles at her. "oh, damn it is."
  "you have bad roots, you insolent hussy." rose tells Star. the blonde looks at her with her eyes widened and her mouth slightly open. 
"Call my sister a hussy again I dare you and you should not be talking with your Ike turner looking ass"I said she raised an eyebrow at me
carlotta walks into the salon. "what's going on here?" she asks Cotton.  "girl, watch out, 'cause it's messy." cotton tells her mother.  alexandra opens the curtain. "i already said i wasn't going. i'm not about to talk about this anymore, mom."  "darling, please." her mother begs.  miss carlotta walks over to them. "i'm carlotta. i own this salon."  "this. . .is my mother." alexandra tells carlotta.  "we're here to take her home." roland tells her.  Alex's mom looks at carlotta. "do you always take in little girls into your house?"  "mom, she's been good to me, okay?"  "we're staying at the w until tonight. don't let that plane leave without you." roland tells his daughter.

"Ok well hopefully that plane has engine failure and crashes" I said he looked at me up and down
  "oh, it will. and i'll be just fine." the dark-skinned girl tells him.  he stops to look at her and sighs. 
" alright, what? i mean, you want to talk about your music? what?" he asks.  "we did. you know we did. and you said exactly what you had to say." she tells him.  "be on that plane." before tells her before he and rose walked out of the salon.  carlotta looks at alexandra. "okay, alexandra. explain."  "what do i need to explain?" the dark-skinned girl asks. "look at them." 
"he just asked you to talk about your music." star tells her.  "he doesn't care about my music." alexandra tells the blonde.  "are you thinking about all of us?" star questions I spoke up
"Star She right his ego was bigger then the salon I'm surprised it fit in this room"  Star then walked out "star. where are you going?" alexandra asks, following behind her.  "if you won't talk to him, i will." She  says before walking out of the salon and running to the car that alexandra's parents were in. "just wait one second." she yells, but it was too late because the vehicle had started driving off. star turns around and walks to alexandra. "i've been doing everything i can to make this happen for us and you could've done it with a snap of a finger?"  "look, you don't understand and you need to back off." alexandra tells her.  "you need to get smart." says star.  "if he was helpful, do you think we'd be in atlanta working out of a salon right now?" the dark-skinned girl asks as simone walk outside to the front porch.  "i don't know. 'cause i don't know what you didn't say to him. clearly, he needs to hear it from somebody else." says the star "hear what?" the dark-skinned girl asks.  "that he needs to produce our demo. if he did, we would get in that contest. we would get a record deal. i-i'm so—i don't understand you." star tells her.  "him? help us? you don't even know how much that would cost." alexandra tells the blonde.  "i grew up in foster care." says star.  "stop throwing your sorry-ass foster care story in everyone's face. it's getting tired." alexandra says.  "like your dead mom?" star questions as she steps closer to her.  "we all things to deal with, okay?" alexandra tells her. I had brought "look stop it right now! Ok  Alex our stories are real you had to make yours up you lied to us ." I said . "you want to lie to me about who you are and flip the script?go ahead. figure it out yourself." alexandra tells her.  star shrugs her shoulders. "as usual."  "i'm gonna go work on this song with simone and Shine." says alexandra.  star nods her head. "okay. you're a fake ass bitch. she's a fake ass bitch." she tells cotton, danielle, and derek that were standing on the porch before she walked off.  cotton shakes her head while grinning. "and i thought i was the stunt queen. she a fraud. her father roland crane." she tells Derek before walking back into the salon, alexandra following after in her and storming to their room upstairs.  derek walks over to me. "derek, hey—" she starts.  "i just wanna know, did you lie to me about who you are?" he questions me EXUSE ME
"I have kept it real with you from the jump I have told you the truth and have been honest about who I am" I said
"Oh yeah you been sneaking around with that foot ball player I know that"
