"I'm sad that it's Sunday but Zo has a game tonight it's finna be lit." Metri said getting into her car.
We had just finished our work out and Metri wanted me to ride home with her instead of just going home so we could watch the game on her tv .
"Zo better be dunking tonight." I said laughing.
We get to her house. "Honey I'm home!"
"Why you got to be so loud?" Metris brother said coming down stairs.
She just rolls her eyes and shakes her head. We head up to her room and I get a call from Melo.
"Hey guys." Melo said from the phone. He was shirtless laying on his bed.
"I gotta a question." He said.
"We might have an answer." Metri said.
"I hate yo smart ass. Anyway Zo wanted y'all to come to his game tonight. We have two tickets if y'all trynna come."
"I'm down ." I answered.
"Cool well be there to pick you up at about 6:30 game starts at 9."
"Aight bet." I said and ended the call.
"We're going to Westwood!" We scream together.
I help her find an outfit (at the top but instead of a PINK shirt she has on a black cropped hoddie.)
"When you got those?" I asked her holding up her Space Jam 11s.
"Friday after tryouts." She said laughing.
She takes a shower and comes out quicker than usual
She puts on some sweats and a crop top.
"We gotta hurry so we can get our nails done and get ready at your house." She said putting her stuff in a bag and running downstairs.
"Ma were going to a UCLA game." She said hugging her mom.
"You need money?" Her mom said handing her 75 dollars.

" I have my own money momma." Metri said trying to give her the money back.
"No. Keep it be safe guys love you both." She said waving us out the door.
"I love your mom." I said.
"Me too." Metri said.
We go to our regular nail place. The only girly thing me and Metri do is get out nails done. Metri also likes to wear make up.
"What color would you like this time Kaylee?" My Nail lady asked me.
"I want a matte burgundy. Coffin as usual." I said.
I always get my nail long so that you can see the coffin and I also like the way it looks.
It took about an hour or so until we were done. I got white polka dots on my ring fingers.
Metri got black matte nails with rhinestones going along her cuticles on her ring fingers.
She pulls out her phone and goes on Snapchat.
"Got the claws for the game tonight. Y'all already know what it is." She recorded our hands .
We have about 2 hours until they are going to pick us up and I have to take a shower and get ready. I already know I'm going to wear my red velvet jordan 11s that's why I got Burgundy nails.
"You wearing your 11s?" She asked me.
"Yeah how you know?"
"Cause that's yo only pair burgundy shoes and you got burgundy nail."
"Awe best friend." I say puckering my lips.
"Get yo stank ass offa me."
We get to my house and I got to the shower. I only take about 15 minute showers. I wash my shoulder length curly hair and air dry it.
" I picked out your outfit while you were in the shower. Since we only have 45 minutes left."

"You're a life saver cause you already know it woulda took me bout 5 years to pick a outfit."
"Exactly." She sat at my vanity table to do her makeup. Metri is the tomboy slash girly girl. She beats her face to the gods but plays sports and wears boys clothes.
I'm the same way but I don't do all that foundation and highlight stuff. It's not my thing. I just do my eyebrows with lip gloss and maybe put on some lipstick on but it's just depends.
I put on my ripped jeans and change my sports bra to a regular bra.
I wait to put on my shirt cause it's white and I don't wanna get anything on it.
"You should do lipstick today." Metri said.
"Nah Im just doing my eyebrows." I said.
"Girl I'll do it for you. I'll put on some of this matte burgundy." She said holding up he lipstick.
"Why?" I whine holding out the 'y'
"Cause you wearing golds tonight and you gon look extra delicious with this lipstick on." She said laughing. "Them boys gon be like she look good then you open yo mouth and they see you golds and bam! They in love."
"Whatever. You can put it on my face." I said sitting down.
"Foundation?" She asked hopefully.
"That's were I draw the line."
"Fine."
She finished doing her make up. She starts to line my lips and then she puts the burgundy on the outside and leaves it blank it the middle. She then blends a lighter color in.
"All done." She said.
"Thank you girl." I said looking at my lips . My lips are naturally big so the lipstick just enhances them a lot.
I work on my eyebrow. I like my eyebrows to be thick but arched. At the tip they get skinner but from the inside of my eye to the arch they are thick and then go skinny.
I finish my eyebrows and do my hair. I just left it how it was but did my edges and did a side part so my hair looked ... big and fell over my face.
I put on my shirt and bomber jacket . I walk downstairs to go find Metri since she was changing in the guest room.
She came out with her shoes in her hand.
"You look good girl." I said.
"I look good? You look better." She said trying to tame my curls.
We both go sit on the couch to put our shoes on. I lace my shoes all the way to the tops so the tips of my laces hand. Metri laces them just below the top and tucks them in.
"We are lowkey matching." I said.
"You right. We both got 11s on. Ripped jeans and a crop top of some sort." She and looking at out outfits.
I run back up stairs to go get my golds.
"Kaylee! Are you hungry?" Metri said from the kitchen. My mom opened the door for someone.
"Are the girls ready?" I heard Elis voice.
"Yeah there coming. I'll send them out." She said closing the door.
I grab my phone and some money. I don't carry purses Metri does though so I'll just put my charger in her purse.
"Now you looking like a whole snack." She said. "Them golds look sexy."
"You sexy best friend." I said laughing.
I open the door to the Ball truck.
"Woah." Came from Eli, Melo, and Gelos mouth.
Me and Metri look at each other.
"What?" We say at the same time.
I'm confused.

A Portal Fantasy Comedy Poem
Mix an adolescent shepherd boy in love with a girl who wants to meet existentialists, a Viscount in need of an adventure, and a bland psychic. Add in a flippant god.

Season to taste and serve with desired garnishes. Bon apetit! A comic fantasy poetic epic, filled with misfits, slapstick routines, light romance, people shouting out the names of their battle skills before using them, old philosopher dudes running around naked, a very serious lamb, demonic knitting, battery operated magic swords and even more traumatising stuff! I experimented with different styles in the beginning and finally settled on an ABABBCBC rhyme scheme (Give me your 0.5s. Gimme, gimme, gimme. I'm collecting them, seriously)
