K.C.
POV: First Person & Third Person Limited
4:23pm.
Saturday.
I've been so bored all day. I had no classes or work today. Maybe I should get a job. I was supposed to do that before I even started my classes here. There might be a campus job I'll be interested in.
Kendall grabs her phone and begins to browse for jobs. She plops down on her bed and begins to look. While she's looking, her phone vibrates with an incoming facetime call from Aaliyah. She stops her search and answers the call. "Hey liyah boo!" I say, watching her face light up on my screen. "Hey K.C! What you up to tonight?" She asks, shuffling being heard in the background as she walks to her room.
"Literally nothing. Probably just gonna take care of Sadie." I say, referring to my grayish-black cat. "What about you?" I ask, watching my cat crawl up by my feet. "I heard about this party downtown, It's a graffiti meetup actually but they turning it into a party." Aaliyah explains, shrugging slightly. "All the fine niggas gonna be there! You wanna go?" She asks excitedly.
I sigh softly as I contemplate. I start to wonder if Ke'Mari might pop up. I shake that thought away, knowing he may be too introverted to go. "Yeah, I'll go. What should I wear?" I ask. "Girl, find the best outfit you have! I'll pick you up around 6." Aaliyah says. We both say our goodbyes and we end the call.
Damn, what should I wear? Seriously. Maybe I could step out of my comfort zone a bit for this. Kendall gently pushes her cat away from her feet and she walks to her walk-in closet. She moves around her clothes and hangers, looking for the best outfit for the party.
Since the wind is blowing outside, Kendall chooses a green button-up sweater with black shorts and ripped tights underneath. She also grabs her white leg warmers and black boots to finish off the look. Before she gets dressed, she takes a nice, long shower. She shaves her whole body and washes her hair, her skin practically glowing when she exits.
Kendall puts on her outfit with ease before sitting at her vanity. She takes her braids out of a ponytail to let them hang freely. Her edges are smooth and curved perfectly. Her gold rings and necklaces adorn her glowing brown skin as well as her black glasses and gold nose piercings.
I look in my full body mirror and I smile at myself. I actually look pretty good. I grab my black cross-body bag and I walk out my room. Sadie trots alongside me while still rubbing against my leg. I giggle a bit before grabbing my favorite perfume and lipgloss. I give Sadie a few pets on her back and I walk out of my door at exactly 5:50pm.
My favorite neighbor across from me is exiting her dorm as well and she compliments me and my outfit. She offers to take my picture and I agree.
I thank her for her compliments and I wait against the wall for Aaliyah. I decided to text her to let her know I'm standing outside.
Just as Aaliyah said, she pulled up on the side of the road by me at 6:05. She rolls down the window to her 2022 Ford Mustang GT and looks me up and down with a smile. "Look at you pretty girl!" She says, gesturing me to get in the passenger seat. "Thank you!" I reply, giggling slightly as I get into the passenger seat. Aaliyah pulls off and the song Cocky AF by Megan Thee Stallion plays on her radio via her aux cord.
"Aight so look, this dude named Jayce had followed me on Insta and I saw his story right? So he posted the location of the party and was like everybody pull up. It should be starting already." Aaliyah explains, cruising down the road. We head towards the more downtown area of our city where all the graffiti and slightly vandalized buildings are. We pull up to an apartment complex right by a large alleyway.
Many fast and cool cars are already parked around the entrance to the alleyway. The music is loud from in the alleyway and in the apartment building. Aaliyah parks right beside a car similar to hers and rolls my window down to speak to the guy inside. "Yo Jayce! Everybody in that alleyway?" She asks. The boy in the driver's seat blows out a cloud of what smells like weed.
"Hell yeah, It's jumpin' in there!" He says. I notice another guy in the passenger seat of
Jayce's car. I can't see his face clearly due to it being dark and him sitting back in the car. My curiosity is broken as Aaliyah tells me to get out the car. I exit the passenger side and I go over to Aaliyah. "Alright girl, you ready?! We getting lit tonight!" She says, walking into the alleyway with me. I follow her with a happy smile, already feeling an adrenaline rush.
The alleyway is split into four directions. The middle is where the DJ, drinks, and games are. Each split has a few people graffitiing the walls, some smoking weed, and some drinking. It's a bit crowded, but surprisingly not chaotic. Just the right amount of loud. Perfect for Kendall. "Come on boo, you finna get high with me!" Aaliyah drags me to the middle where some people are rolling blunts. "Damn Aaliyah! Okay, okay!" I say, giggling at her energetic voice.
Me and Aaliyah share a blunt while walking around and talking. We both laugh and talk about all the cute guys looking our way. The effects of the weed slowly kicks in and our eyes become low and red. Obviously we're still in control of ourselves, just more relaxed. Even though we're more relaxed, everything has also become hilarious. This is going to be a long and fun night.
