Reckless (Under Construction; DO NOT READ)

Part Three

 Finally arriving in Manhattan, everyone is more than ready to jump off the bus. "Alright so it's all the girls in one room, and all the guys in another," Darlene says happily like everything that went down on the bus never happened.

"Aw naw," Tracine says. "Aw naw, naw, naw, HELL naw. I'm not sleeping in the same room with that chick, I'm getting another room. Anybody with me?" Madison and Rae step over to where Tracine is standing.

"Oh, okay," Darlene says, kind of wanting to room with the other girls. "Well I guess it's me, O.B., and Kiki in one room. And Tracine, Rae, and Madison in the other. You guys fine with rooming together?" She asks, looking over to the boys.

"Yeah we're good baby, let's just go get set up so we can head out to the club to meet up with Prod." Ray Ray says. Everyone nods and heads off to their rooms, while Tracine and the other two girls head to the front desk to get another room.

"Dang this club is turnt up forreal y'all!" Roc says dancing into the door. Blaque's Mansion is the most exclusive club in Manhattan. It's huge on the inside and everything is black and trimmed in gold. The lights stay off, but there are multi-colored strobe lights on different timers in over a hundred different spots on every level of the four story club. There's people everywhere-at the bars, on the floor, on each other, in the stairways-some dancing, some talking, some standing there like they just came to be seen. Ray Ray grabs Darlene and they disappear into the crowd, Kiki, angry at the sight of them leaving makes her way to the bar (even though she shouldn't be drinking for so many reasons), Roc is in his own world dancing in a crowd of girls, and everyone else is enjoying the music too.

"Hey what's up," A girl says to Princeton as he leans against the bar nodding his head to the music.

"Oh, hey I'm Jacob, everyone knows me as Princeton." He holds out his hand for her to shake.

"Oh I know who you are," she shakes his hand. "I'm Shakes." She smiles, and Princeton smiles back. They make small talk for a while, telling each other where they're from and dancing, when another girl approaches Shakea.

"Hey girl, I see you found someone to dance with and I don't wanna interrupt, but Have you seen Craig?" She asks.

"No it's so dark in here, if i'm not right in somebody's face, I can't see them." Shakea says, and she and Princeton laugh.

"I'm serious, we started arguing because of his little fan girls. I'm starting to hate the name Prodigy."

"Oh snap, you're Prod's girlfriend?" Princeton asks.

"Yeah, Prince this is my girl Jahnahe. Jahnahe this is Jacob."

"I know who you are, can you help me find Craig?" She says impatiently. They start searching around and find him talking to Roc, Ray Ray, and the girls.

"Craig!" Jahnahe yells, and Prodigy looks annoyed.

"Is that yo girl man?" Roc whispers to Prodigy, and he nods.

"Who are y'all?" Jahnahe asks Darlene and the other girls present. "Y'all some more groupies tryna get with my man, or one of these other dudes?" Everyone looks at each other shocked by her boldness.

"Get your girl Prod she's outta line," Ray Ray says defending Darlene.

"She's her own person, and she don't listen either." Prodigy says looking at the back of Jahnahe's head.

"Nope, not to you, not right now. And I still wanna know who these tricks are." Jahnahe says pointing at them.

"Us tricks came here with them, us tricks are friends and girlfriends of these boys, and baby the only trick I see is you." Tracine says, stepping up in Jahnahe's face. Jahnahe feeling threatened pushes Tracine, who pushes her back. Darlene steps between the two of them trying to break up the fight before it happens, but not before catching a slap in the face that was meant for Tracine. Darlene grabs her face, and stares at Jahnahe who's shocked she slapped the wrong girl. Everyone gets quiet waiting for Darlene to do something, but she just excuses herself to go to the bathroom.

"I told you to check your girl man," Ray Ray says to Prodigy.

"And I told you she's her own person," Prodigy says right back.

"And I'm telling you that you changed, the old you would have said something but I guess you just another whipped ass nigga."

"And I'm telling you to shut up and mind your business." Jahnahe says. Ray Ray looks at Prodigy who doesn't say a word, he shakes his head and goes to check on Darlene.

"I'm going back to the hotel Craig, come on Shakea." Jahnahe struts out of the club.

"I'm sorry y'all...Jacob, I'll call you, I had a great time," Shakea says, before trailing after her friend. Madison, Rae, O.B., EJ, Roc, Princeton, Kiki, and Tracine stand at the bar quietly, shocked by what just went down.

"Everywhere we go there's drama," Rae says to no one in particular.

"Let's just go dance and try to make something good out of this night," Madison says grabbing Rae and Princeton by the hands and dragging them onto the dance floor. EJ shrugs and wraps his arms around O.B. and they hit the floor, along with Roc, who grabs Tracine by the hand. Kiki stumbles a little with a glass in her hand and makes her way to the floor too. A few fans take pictures of the crew on the dance floor. At the time they think nothing of it, but pictures can mess everything up with one post.
