That night, I was set. Rick came to pick me up. I was planning to make the whole situation discrete and unnoticeable for the haters but it failed.

I was all dressed up in my room when suddenly, Blaire entered my room with a smirk.

"Hmm, I see you're ready. Rick's waiting for you downstairs." she said. I wanted to disappear at the moment.

"Oh, um. Thanks."

"So, y'all dating?" she teased.

"No. It's a friendly outing."

"Yeah, right." she smiled. I needed to disappear. "Way to go, Harlem."

I looked at Yasmin who just laughed at me.

After Blaire left, I followed.

I reached downstairs and went outside...
