Difference

17. Party

"Girls?"

"Yeah. Girls. I heard you have a date on Friday."

"Yeah...I do."

"With a girl you like, huh? She cute?"

"Yeah." I said, keeping details to a minimum.

"Hm. Why you ain't bag Farrah? You not into her?"

"Farrah? Farrah doesn't want me. I don't want to embarrass myself by asking her out."

He stayed silent for a moment.

"So you not gonna shoot your shot with her? Nothing between you two?"

"...that don't mean you can go and try stuff on her. She don't want you either."

"Huh? Nigga you can't claim what you don't want! Make up your mind."

"It doesn't matter because she doesn't want either of us!"

"If you going on a date with your lil home girl on Friday, I should be allowed to take Farrah out."

Frustrated, I got up and walked out of his room. I know that there probably won't be a future between Farrah and I, but seeing Eden with her would frustrate me.

No reason to worry. I know the type of girl Farrah is, and I know that she wouldn't want someone like Eden.

Then again...she did date Keith.

I'm overthinking.

Farrah»

I'd finally ended my shift at the restaurant, before going upstairs to my room.

Laying on my bed, I did what I usually would do. Scrolled around on my phone for a half hour ignoring my homework. When I opened Instagram I noticed I'd had a dm.

Edenontop: you going to crystal party?

Random.

I didn't know about it. I guess so. When?

Edenontop: Friday. if you decide to go, we could go together.🙇🏽‍♂️

Adonis' date was on Friday, my parents had their date nights on Friday, Braheim would be working the restaurant Friday. Party? Sure. Eden? I'm not so sure.

I don't know. Maybe I'll see what Keith is doing

Edenontop: Keith will definitelyyy be there. him and crystal a thing.

Oh. Keith hadn't mentioned that to me.

I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️

Edenontop: send your #?

I said fuck it and sent my number. What's the worst that could happen? Eden is not the greatest guy but it's not like I'm going on a date with him. He's taking me to a party. That's it.

Eden»

Satisfied, I put my phone on my bed and walked to Adonis' room.

"Don!" I yelled through the closed door.

"Leave me alone."

"Adonis I gotta ask you something."

"Go away bitch."

This nigga acts possessed sometimes. Like I won't smack the fuck outta him.

"Let me ask a simple question." I said, opening his door.

He looked up from his book, annoyed.

"I was gonna let you use my car on Friday for your date, buttt me and Farrah got something to do..so you gotta-"

"You and Farrah?"

"Yeah. Just going out to this little party. Nothing important."

"You and her? Alone, you mean?" He was no longer holding his little attitude from before.

"Yeah. Does that bother you?"

"You know that bothers me. We just had this conversation."

"I mean, you were very clear on telling me she wouldn't be interested. And all I did was ask her...and she said yeah. That sounds interested to me."

"Then I was wrong. You and her have fun then. Get out my room."

a/n:
I split this chapter in half bc it got wayyy to long, so I'll post the second part sometime soon!

Is Farrah wrong for going to the party with Eden?
