The day of the Barbie dollhouse party had fast approached, the ladies have decided to meet at unity park which is a little close to Gina's house where they would design their final strategy.
Each girl maintained chatting with each other online on their mobile phone.
They all dressed in lemon green tops and yellow skirts, dress fashion and dressing the same color and pattern is the top priority for the barbie club.
Hey mom, am about to leave for school
Hmmm....that looks colorful on you, Devina points out pouting.
Mom, please stop pouting it's not cool, Keysha remarks sarcastically.
I am not trying to be cool sweetheart am just pointing out you look good and I want you home on time remember you are grounded for this week and the next.
This statement seems to drop Keysha's excitement, she became dispirited.
Jenny stop doing that, Devina snapped
What am I doing mom? Jenny asked with her left hand on the cheek, being supported by her elbow on the dining table and with her right hand stirring the contents of her breakfast scrambled eggs and glass of milk, she is only interested in the glass of milk.
Stop playing with your food young woman, the school bus will soon be here.
Keysha smirked and rubs her little sister, and cooed ain't you cute with your hair packed on these ribbons, coo-coo coo-coo, hey knock it off am no longer a baby, stop, mother tell Keysha to stop
Just as Devina was about to interfere, Britney's spear intro to her song was heard
It's Barbie bitch.....then a moan ...Devina picks the phone and moved briskly to the door
Hey, young lady make sure your change that ringtone, Devina yelled.
Keysha motioned Okie Dokie's hand sign and opened the door, bye Mom sees ya.
Jenny smiled, it's Barbie bish .. mom what's a Barbie bish? It doesn't make sense except I heard it's Barbie fish
Shut up Devina cautioned her to stop eating the school bus is here.
Keysha was on her way to unity park after the barbie dollhouse club meeting maybe they will all go to school together turning up late in school usually is an offense but the money bag Barbie Gina will use the money to bribe the security in.
Keysha slowed down and she saw boys flocking in the group, playing dice games, she recognized the tall dark Afro-American guy in his late teen, possibly a college drop out was in the mist wearing chains and baggy jeans with timberland boots.
What's that his name she pondered, notorious Bobby was who he was identified with nobody dares call him by his government name Bobby James, his mother is a drug dealer and recently convicted to jail for a street fight
His mother was of Jamaican descent and his dad deceased, he died beside a liquor store fighting with gangs
He looked up and alerted his aye alert, batty boys! Shorty coming towards we axis man
He went around her as if he was on inspection,
Wah gwaan? He asked and peeped in her handbag
Hey !, replied Keysha in a panicking voice
Whatcha have ina your bag Barbie?
Nothing and how's it any business of yours?
One of the distant boys about Keysha's age asked the boss any problem from the shorty? She cocky yur know? Bobby smiled and replied Mi deh yah, yuh know.
Look barbie I do like your attitude all I need is a little Benjamin I leave and join my boys, you are not my type of woman.
Keysha snorted to suppress her laughter
Hey, shorty small up yourself and be careful.
Look, all am saying is this please let me go because I have no money on me
Bobby eyed her 'Weh yuh ah she? Did you get no Benjamins on ya?
Gimme your bag shorty! Bobby demanded
I keep telling you I don't have a dime Bobby
He's snatched her bag from her and she hit out hard her slap landed on his face and the boys picked up sticks and started surrounding her, then someone yelled stop!, they turn sharply it was towards the direction to know who was stopping them from beating Keysha, Chris ruggers the policeman was standing a few inches away from them, he pulled out his Glock.
what's going on here Bobby?
Sir nothing, shorty hit me in my face.
Hand over the bag Bobby!
Alright, sir, no qualms put the gun down
I could take you in Bobby but I will let this slide, you trying to harass my friend's daughter.
Sorry sir, apologies sir he sneered, he wasn't remorseful, he signaled to these boys
Lickle more shorty he tossed the bag to her and turned and moved away as his boys scampered for safety.
Keysha rushed and hugged Chris Ruggers not minding he's a stranger to her, she didn't know her dad had police as friends, she muffled his crying she was shaking visibly.
Sorry about that Keysha
She was startled and quickly disengaged herself from, him and adjusted her hair, how do you know my name?
I am your dad's friend, a shame we haven't met officially I caught a glimpse of you a day before yesterday we came to your father's house.
Oh, that's cool, but why did you come to my place? hope my dad hasn't gotten himself into trouble?!.
Chris Ruggers chuckled nervously no, it's nothing like I said am his friend.
Alright big guy, do you mind accompanying me to unity park.
He smiled sure my lady, he bowed and gestured for her to move ahead of him, lead the way princess
But princess ...
My name is Keysha you know
Haha got it
Are you married, Chris?
Uh-no why do I look that old? No not all, but do you have a girlfriend, yes! I do
Yeah? What's her name Keysha queried
Helene but we just broke up
Ouch! That sucks what a shame, uh-thanks, the awkward silence was observed
Hey, keysha unity park is not the way to school, is it?
How are you now? My dad? , She asked
No, I guess we better focus on the way to your destination.
I will appreciate it if she replied.
He cast her a long look
She caught his eyes, what? She asked
Nothing you talk way older than you look
Whatever Chris she rolled her eyes at him.
Chris shook his head and muttered, teenagers I don't understand them, she laughed and kept moving.
*****************************************************
Hey babes Keysha announced at her arrival, other girls were backing her when she arrived, they spin around to face her direction.
Hey whose the hunky with you, Gina asked
Britanny rolled her eyes, are we in some sort of trouble with the law officer? She squints her eyes in his direction
He cleared his throat well ladies nobody is in trouble, at least for now, I only rescued a damsel in distress.
Keke was wowed at the fact her friend could afford to drag a policeman down here. well, I can see Keysha is fine with you thank you.
Well see you, ladies, some other time ladies I would take my leave now, the three girls bade him goodbye
Well, guess you are here now so we can say it to your face, we think you should hand over the powers to me just now before we begin the agenda of the meeting.
You know what Britanny, I think you are so stupid when it comes to using your senses Britanny I just got here with a policeman and you didn't care to know why or if I was hurt!
Britanny pouted her mouth and Sparks flew in her eyes, don't speak to me that way, it's not my fault you were attacked I mean you just have a way of lagging behind schedule don't ya?!
Wait who attacked you sweetheart Keke asked
It's that black guy called Bobby
OMG! Gina whispered isn't he that street gang boy notorious Bobby?
Yes that's him
I need to make phone calls to get the police to watch him Gina replied
Wait what is with you Britanny and my homegirl Keysha always having a face-off for? , Is not like she snatched your boyfriend or something.
Nothing is the problem she should always keep to schedule that's all and make the right decisions Britanny spoke up after glaring at Keysha
Keysha took a step forward keeping eye contact while she spoke, I solemnly declare a shift of power from me to Keke Xavier and outrightly reject Britanny as my second in command, Britanny's eyes were wide open in shock.
Keke Xavier raised her hands and I accept the role of leadership of the Barbie dollhouse club, and I Gina bears this as a witness.
What? this is ridiculously stupid am the next inline
Well tell that to the new barbie queen it's no longer within my jurisdiction anymore, Keysha opened her bag took the crown trying to hand it over, Britanny knocked the crown to the floor and it broke into two.
I always knew you would do this, that's not the real crown so I will wear it on her at the Barbie dollhouse party feel free to drop by and witness it.
Britanny burst into tears and run off wailing.
Keke smiled good riddance to her, well girls shall we plan where to host this party
We will do it at Gina's house if she doesn't mind.
Gina smiled it would be my honor to host this year's party we are inviting the football team boys, the cheerleaders, then perhaps we shall invite the past barbie queen before keysha,
Hey, that would be nice and tonight we shall elect two more barbies to fill the vacant space if Britanny fails to show up, I know she won't show up but tell her that I Keke Xavier the barbie queen will not tolerate absenteeism.
Keysha might not make it to the party, or would you? Gina asked
I have my ways, Keysha responded to make sure alcohols are available, and oh yes we are using the pool at your place
Totally! Responded Keke beaming with smiles
As for the decorations am changing the theme right here to yellow and pink, Gina suggested what do you think? , Keke?
Well, I think it's fabulous and I will message Brittany about the changes in our theme when I get home.
Cool, Keysha replied.
Just to make sure you are coming, I will send Trent to pick you up, Keke added
Oh that won't be necessary my driver to my daddy's navigator jeep will come and pick everyone up
I am grounded remember? Keysha responded I will manage on my own, I will inform Trent to pick me up, girls let's get to class we are late.
