"A table for two?" The hostess asked

"Well duh bitch," Jasmine mumbled under her breath

I elbowed her in the side and gave the hostess a genuine smile "Yes please."

She needs to relax before she gets something in her food. I'm not in the mood for an Italian concoction of bodily fluids.

The hostess picked up two menus and started walking away "Okay, follow me this way."

The restaurant was kind of on the empty side. It's a little after three o' clock in the afternoon but it felt later than that. Jasmine and I walked out the house with joggers and Ugg boots because there was no need to dress up for Olive Garden. The white people here would still stare at us but I just look past them, unlike Jasmine who grills each and every one of them who even blinks in her direction.

The hostess stopped at this small booth as Jasmine and I slid in, sitting across from each other.

"Your waiter will be here in a few minutes to take your drinks." She then gave us our menus and then walked away.

"I'm fucking starving," Jasmine said taking her phone out slouching in her seat

"Why does everyone love putting me on their Snapchat?" I asked aloud sitting back in the booth examining the menu

She kissed her teeth and sat up in her seat "I'm not even recording you."

"There's no need to lie, I see your reflection in through the window stupid."

"Oh shit." She started laughing causing me to laugh too

She locked her phone resting it on the window seal, sitting up looking through the menu also.

"Hi ladies, My name is Andrew I'll be your waiter for the day. Can I start you off with some drinks?"

"Hey Andrew how you doin', can I get the uh, Bellini Peach-Raspberry Iced Tea."

He chuckled and started writing in his notepad "Okay, and for you?"

"Just the raspberry lemonade, thank you."

He scribbled my drink down nodding "Okay, are you ladies ready to order or do you need more tim-"

"Nah, nah we ready to order. My stomach going off!"

"Jasmine, relax you savage."

She scrutinized me "I'll eat you."

Andrew started laughing at us bickering at each other like we were some sitcom or something. I shook my head at her and then looked up at Andrew signaling that I'm ready for him to take my order.

"Can I get the Lobster Ravioli please." I folded the menu and gave it to him

"And I'd get the Five Cheese Ziti al Forno."

"Okay, I'll come back with your breadsticks and salad. If you want any appetizers, you can order and pay for them here from the ziosk." He said resting his hand on the machine at the edge of the table

"Thank you." We said simultaneously as he walked away

"Damn, if only he wasn't gay." She said shaking her head

"How do you know he's gay?"

"How don't you know he's gay?"

I laughed at her logic "Alright whatever."

I started going through my views on my Snapchat story but caught chills. The hairs on my neck stood up and I felt like someone was staring at me. I looked up at Jasmine and saw her staring passed me so I know it wasn't her doing the staring.

"Oh hell nah, don't tell me we bouta have a burger king round two in this bitch." She mumbled

I looked at her confused and turned around following her intense staring. My eyes landed on a familiar looking girl sitting at a booth several tables away. A boy sat there across from her with his back turned to us.

That's the girl from Burger King, Tyra.

The girls and Chris were no longer in their previous spot but they popped out of nowhere when they went to the cashier to retrieve their food, it looked like Chris was ordering. I'm assuming they were in the kiddie play area. The fourth girl walked out of the bathroom and kept staring at me while the rest of her friends were walking out of burger king with their bags of food.

Dominic turned around to see what I was staring at and then turned back around looking at Michael with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Bitches!" One of them yelled

Jasmine shot up about to run out of the booth but Michael quickly stopped laughing and sat next to her so she was trapped in the middle of both of us. She started breathing hard and I was getting worried, I haven't seen he like this in a while.

I rested my hand on hers"Jasmine, calm down."

"Was that Tyra?" Dominic asked

"Tyra?" I repeated

"I think it was," Michael said nodding

"That slime ass bitch," Jasmine said growling with her eyes low

I turned back in my seat rolling my eyes "What is her problem?"

"If she doesn't watch who the hell she lookin' at, Ima knock the medulla outta her oblongata."

I chuckled sitting back in my seat with my arms folded as Andrew came back with our drinks, breadsticks, and salad "Your meal will be out shortly."

"Thank you," I said

He then walked away and she continued going off.

"She's so ass. That night at Burger King she dipped off to the bathroom while her rat ass friends started shit with us."

"Jasmine relax. We're not back at Burger King where the employees couldn't care less if we were twerking on the table tops."I said taking a sip of my raspberry lemonade

"You right, you right. Ima keep my composure for this ho. Her ass brave as hell, giving us looks and shit. She thinks she safe cus she sitting with a nigga? With his fat ass bullet head."

I choked on my drink laughing making her laugh too.

She reached over the table and started patting my back making me choke even more "Move!" I managed to say "You making it worse."

She chuckled "My fault."

I turned around back to her and saw her smirking right at me. The boy then got up and made his way to sit next to her. The boy was Dominic.

"Oh sh-"

"Shit!" Jasmine hissed finishing my sentence

I whipped my neck around like CallHimRenny and slumped in my seat. Jasmine did the same also, throwing her hoodie over her head.

"What are they doing right now?" I asked not wanting to turn around

"Dominic's dumb ass don't see us but she's staring right at me while he has his arm around her shoulders whispering in her ear."

I'm confused.

"I should smack that bitch."

Just yesterday he was kissing me, now he's cuddled up with Tyra? Wow he moves fast.

"I guess that's if for you and Dominic huh?"

"Let's just take this to go, I'm not feeling it anymore." I sighed pushing my plate away from me

I lost my appetite. I don't know, I just feel like the whole situation is messed up. It's pretty evident that I had some type of feelings towards Dominic, and I can admit that. Him and I kissed a few times and it kinda threw me off a little bit to see him here with Tyra. I guess that's my sign to fall back when it comes to Dominic and quit stressing.

"Alright if I see Andrew I'll let him know."

"I'm gonna go use the bathroom before we leave." She nodded and I got up from the table and headed to the bathroom

'''

Power 105.1 lowly played through the radio and it didn't make this situation feel any less awkward than it already is.

"He saw me at the table when I called the gay waiter over. When we locked eyes it looked like he got caught red handed."

"There's no need to act like he's been caught, he's not tied down or anything," I said shrugging switching lanes to get on the highway

"If it makes you feel any better, you don't have to feel conflicted when it comes to Chris and Dominic now."

I chuckled "I can't be mad, I was doing the same thing he was last night!"

Twenty minutes later we made it home. I parked my baby in front of my house gathering my food from Olive Garden. Jasmine and I got out as I clicked the lock button on the car keys. The car chirped and I made my way up my front steps unlocking the door. My father should be home in a few hours. I went straight to the kitchen putting my left overs in the fridge sitting at the kitchen island reevaluating my whole life.

"What am I so worked up for? I got a math holiday packet due for Mr. Harris when we go back to school." I hopped off the bar stool and made my way upstairs to my room
