"I try to keep myself open to wearing various things. Some days I'm a but more preppy than others, others I might be feeling that urban vibe and want some sweats on. I'm a girly girl at heart, but I'm always willing to switch it up."
Girly Fashionista (on a budget)

แƒฆUPKEEPแƒฆ
"I hate those fucking bitches in the A list only because they think they're big shit and it's utterly mandatory for their existence to use the most expensive shit in the world. I heard one girl complain because she ran out of her Oribe! Fucking Oribe! Do you know how much that shit costs? Too much and my paycheck deserves to be put to mostly clothes and makeup. Anything else is too fucking extravagant for no damn reason. So, no, I don't have some expensive crap in my closet. For my facial cleansing, I use Clean & Clear. It works, its inexpensive, and I love the smell of the grapefruit products. Then for my body, I go back and forth. Most days I use the Dove cream body wash, mostly in the Pistachio cream scent, and then I use Bath & Body Works products like lotion, body creams, and perfumes. Only on special days or when I'm feeling really good do I use my body scrubs or the shower gels. But I'm a big Bath & Body Works buff and my fave scent to use is Sweetpea.

Anyway, when my hair grew past my shoulders, my Mama was like, 'do your own shit.' So, I have. I use Carol's Daughter, the black Vanilla collection. It smells great and makes my hair soft while nourishing my curls on the days that I don't straighten it. I also do splurge a bit for the hair vitamins just to keep it all natural. I'm not on any strict diet because my mama makes too good of food to be wasting on being health-obsessed like some bitches and the most active I am is when it comes to conditioning for volleyball."


แƒฆOVERALL ATTRACTIVENESSแƒฆ
"I'm cocky as fuck. I'll say a 10/10 every day."
As stated, Lateefah is extremely cocky. However, her score for herself wouldn't be the same as everyone else's. She would get a strong nine on her best days, eight on her average, and a seven occasionally.

แƒฆPERSONALITYแƒฆ
One look at the Walker twins and one might think of little Lateefah as the younger of the siblings, the one that needs the protecting and coddling that only a younger sibling can receieve. And one would be very mistaken and might even have the pleasure or displeasure (it all depends on you, really) of seeing this little kitten turn into a ferocious lion. The quote that "big things come in tiny packages" has never rang so true as they do with Lateefah Walker and she will do well to make sure that you remember that. In fact, to clear up any of the confusion, it is she that is the oldest, she that is the fiercest of the two and she who is almost always in control. After all, she has had to be. While Marcel might do with their mother practically spoiling him, Lateefah has had to work for what she has and wants. And she's always led by her own desires. If she has ever wanted something, she goes after it. Years for it, takes. Some might call it selfish or even her being foolish for always aspiring out of her means, but as a girl who has spent her entire life wanting, Lateefah does what she has to in order to achieve her goals.

Lateefah, despite coming from a mother who tried to teach her children the ways of living a more religious life, has a downright cunning way about her. Deceitful too, if we're being honest. Oh, you might think that she is your best friend and above a good number of the Wannabes, she can have you very fooled. She has such a sweet face and not many, even the most perceptive, can see through her lying ways. And she's good at lying, always believed that a good lie can get you in and out of the right kind of trouble. The kind that can land you just a bit higher on the totem pole than you were yesterday. Make no mistake, she's not entirely vicious. Her desires to see herself flourish don't include her forgetting those who have done her kindness. Oh, no she has never forgotten these people. These will be the ones that will be by her side when her dreams come true. The exact and total opposite can be said for those who do her wrong or get in her way. Lateefah is not a forgiving person and she may tell you to your face that all is forgotten, but it is only a matter of time before the snake strikes. And trust, one of these days, all of her enemies will rue the day they crossed her.

But first and foremost, Lateefah is all about her own goals and dreams. And when she dreams, she dreams big and lets no one stand in her way. And she's good at getting her way too, with just the right kind of smile and flash of innocence in her sweet eyes to make you believe that she is nothing but a little angel. But trust, she is a wolf in sheep's clothing and that makes her dangerous. Because Lateefah can be downright vicious when people get in her way or aspire to anyway, and she's damn well cold when she feels the need to be. You might call it her being mean, she calls it being as real with you as possible. After all, not every second of her life is spent telling a lie. And she has never told horrid ones. No, ones that she knows will work and get the results she desires ranging from telling someone she likes them to something as simple as liking shoes that not even her grandmother would wear. Again, because these people might be useful to her and she is all about finding those who will be useful to her. This is a girl who wants to be in a higher position than the one she is in and people might doubt her, as they do with most Wannabes, but Lateefah is not one to doubt. After all, how many can say that they were able to get in between the relationship of one of the most powerful couples in their school?

And that might have seemed foolish to some. After all, why piss off the very person who's circle you want to get into? Simple, because Lateefah is not about to kiss ass to get there. Oh, she knows how to paint on the most beguiling of smiles and talk to the higher ups that will listen, but she also will not hesitate in being real with you. Despite knowing the games of this school's court and where she can situate herself, Lateefah has also understood that she is not Mikayla, or Aaliyah or any of the other Royal girls. She does not come from great money nor does she know the intricacies of their elite lifestyles. All she knows is that people like them are always in the minority and that it is about time that someone of her distinction comes into power, even in a way that is not with her holding the crown. After all, she's not a horrible person, as a good number of the students will have you know. While the Wannabes might be a joke to the other listers, a girl like Lateefah has managed to be a beacon of hope for a number of the students. In fact, she has inspired more of her classmates than a number of the Royals themselves can say. After all, by the end of freshman year she had been classified a Nerd, and then in the middle of sophomore year, a performer, and then by Junior year a Wannabe. A Wannabe only because she pissed off the Queen Bee. Lateefah has situated herself on the stairs of comeuppance and it's only a matter of time before she reaches her goal. She's a sign that things can happen and while some of the other listers might sneer down at her, the rest of her classmates have expressed nothing but admiration and maybe envy. After all, she's a reminder that charm is key and she has been a very charming, albeit deceitfully so, young woman.

She's a rather confusing individual, not yet understanding herself, but then again this is the girl who learned about a lot of things when her mother would not teach her, too busy coddling her boy and not caring for her girl like she should have. This is the girl who has always had to look out for herself because while her brother has had all the freedom of the world, she has been chained tightly to a wall that is not comforting. And she hates it and is too proud to admit her insecurities. To admit her weaknesses. No, to admit those would be heinous and for a girl who wants nothing more than to be better than what she is, Lateefah aspires for nothing but strength. Even at the face of having to be a bitch underneath the snake charmer. But she is bold, talented, and beloved by those who understand that she is meant for far greater than her title bequeaths her, and Lateefah herself knows that she will one day be exactly where she deserves. And those that hate her or hate on her will be able to do nothing but hate from afar because she will be too far gone in her achievement to even remember their names.

แƒฆFAVORITE COLOR(S)แƒฆ
"Um, duh! Pink is my fave, hands down. Followed by lilac. Mostly, I like pastels."
Pastels, but pink is number one

แƒฆFAVORITE MOVIE(S)แƒฆ
"My fave movie changes every year depending on what came out and currently, it's Beyond the Lights. Possibly because Gugu Mbatha-Raw needs to win several awards, but also because it was genuinely a good storyline."
Beyond the Lights

แƒฆFAVORITE MUSICแƒฆ
"Um, hello. Anything mainstream, especially Beyonce. She's the only queen in this world I love."
Mainstream

แƒฆFAVORITE BOOK(S)แƒฆ
The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

แƒฆFAVORITE FOODแƒฆ
"Screw what anyone tells you, nachos are the best. There's this place back in Atlanta called Takorea, which is a Mexican and Korean infused restrautant with a bunch of awesome menu items. But their nachos...holy fucking shit, those nachos are literally the greatest nachos in the ENTIRE world. If I find better, I will retract that statement but those nachos are literally awesome. You already know I went there five fucking times while I was visiting my Grams."

แƒฆHOBBIES & PASTIMESแƒฆ
"My number one hobby is working out. I was the lead dancer and choreographer for the liturgical dance team at our church. The one good thing my mother did was allow me to take dance classes at the Millennial Dance Complex for a year, which I loved. But I always loved being active. I've gotten into this thing called acroyoga, which was crazy hard at first, but I'm kinda in love now and I play volleyball. Conditioning is time-consuming, but it's also tension-releasing, and that's why I love working out so much. But shopping and social media are tied together as my second hobbies. I love to shop, even online shopping, and social media is a thing for my generation. My besties and I are always on Vine together and I give an outfit of the day on Instagram every day."

แƒฆIDEAL WEEKENDแƒฆ
"Believe it or not, my ideal weekend is sleeping. Is it really that much of a surprise? I have SGA meetings, volleyball practice, two jobs and homework. The ideal weekend would be for the homework to already be done and all the hours in the world to just sleep."

แƒฆIDEAL VACATION LOCATIONแƒฆ
"Hawaii, no questions asked. It doesn't even matter who's with me...as long as it's not my mom. She's such a fucking cock block and even tries to tell me what bikini not to wear as if she wasn't the one who bought the one I'm wearing. Ugh, so annoying. But anyway, definitely Hawaii."

แƒฆPLAYS MUSICAL INSTRUMENT?แƒฆ
"Other than vocals, no. I can sight read, if that makes a difference, but I didn't care about instruments."

แƒฆPLAYS ANY SPORTS?แƒฆ
"As if you had to ask? Our captain's good, but a lot of people, including myself, will tell you that I'm better. I'm talking about volleyball, of course. I'm usually the setter no matter where I am during rotation, but I'm known for my over hand serves despite being short. Serves that have won us an entire round several times, mind you. Outside of school, I'm a runner. I don't visit the gym often, but we have weights and such in the house, and so I work out while I'm at home. Suicides in the back yard, laps around the neighborhood or even through the city, crunches, swimming at the rec, you name it. I take care of my vessel. Partially to fit this bikini, partially because those nachos were bomb as fuck."

แƒฆSPENDING HABITS?แƒฆ
"While my brother likes to blow his money on video games and food when he goes out with his friends, mine is spent on clothes and accessories. Forever 21, H&M, Macy's, Anthropologie, Icings, all of the stores your beloved Listers would stay away from. I, however, have friends in mostly all of those stores, so I know how to find discounts and manage my budget just to have a little left over for gas and the occasional food run."
Budgets better than her brother

แƒฆSMOKES?แƒฆ
"As a person who sings on a regular and is an athlete, the only thing that better hit my lungs is this oxygen I'm sucking up. Anything else needs to swerve left."
Never

แƒฆDRINKS?แƒฆ
"Only at parties or when I'm super stressed. I really am a social drinker and my favorite drink is a Mai Tai. Don't ask me why, I just love it a lot. Or a strawberry mojito, it depends. But that's not a regular for me. However, when I'm stressed, Dad's liquor cabinet looks pretty damn appealing."
Social drinker, but drinks more during the school year when she's stressed

แƒฆOTHER DRUGS?แƒฆ
"Um, no. Not unless I'm planning for an early burial."

แƒฆDRIVES AND MOTIVATIONS?แƒฆ
"The main thing that drives me is the fact that I'm always down for proving people wrong. One of my teachers in DC thought I needed to stay back because we moved a lot and obviously, I couldn't have retained enough information. When in fact, I had retained more than some of their current students. But it really struck me that people literally will talk down to you. I hate it and what drives me is the desire to prove you wrong. Doubt me and watch me succeed you."

แƒฆWHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?แƒฆ
"As of right now, my goals are my priorities and I will do what I have to in order to see them through. I've worked extremely hard to get where I am and I've been good at accomplishing my goals thus far. I don't think it'll be too hard to keep up the good work."

แƒฆWHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS? TEN YEARS? TWENTY YEARS?แƒฆ
"Well, okay, it's always helpful to speak things into existence. In five years, I see myself as a senior at Spelman College. A political science major with a double minor in education and Spanish, to be exact. I will have officially become inducted or will be in the process of being inducted into the Pi Sigma Alpha National Political Science Honor Society and I will also have already been a member of the Mui Pi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha. My mom's a legacy along with her mother and I wanna keep it in the family. At the ten year mark, I hope to have already delved into public policy, particularly as it pertains to education reform. By then, I would have liked to have been in a long term relationship with marriage possibly in the future. At the twenty year mark, I'd like to say that I was a state senator or at least in someone's office as assistant or something. I haven't really looked too far ahead, but I might very well return to Atlanta. I'd also like to be very much married by then with at least two kids."

แƒฆHOMETOWNแƒฆ
"Not that I've officially let go of the accent. You hear it every now and then, but I'm an Atlantian forever and I plan on returning."
Atlanta, GA

แƒฆCHILDHOODแƒฆ
"It was hectic and moving around a lot was just not okay with me. We would always make friends and then say goodbye to friends, and we almost stayed back because of this fuckery. Dad was the best though. He still is and I'm not gonna lie, he's my favorite parent. Growing up, Marcel was the sicker one. Literally, all the attention was on him after we were born because he had somehow got some infection and Mom was just worried about her baby boy. Daddy remembered me though, I was his caramel drop and honestly, I went wherever he went when I could. He spoiled me, that much is true, but it was better than constantly being chastised by Ma. She can be exhausting and I hated the months when Daddy wasn't home. Marcel would remember me and he loved me to death, still does, but sometimes...sometimes Ma honestly just wants me to up and leave our house, and I might not have any regrets when I do.

However, we were living in Hawaii two year before freshman year of high school when my mom's friend said that she was considering putting our current home up for sale. She wanted to rent the space out and Mom was already thinking about California, just because she wanted to cook and such, and she liked the opportunities there than in Hawaii. Not that I minded being in Hawaii. Second to Atlanta, Hawaii was the one place we stayed at the longest, I had learned how to surf without dying, and I loved it. But then she got the position she wanted, Dad was able to move to Presidio of Monterey, and before we knew it, anything that Marcel and I had to say was ignored. California's nice and all, but I honestly would have rather lived in Hawaii. The guys were cuter."


แƒฆPETS?แƒฆ
"I've had Sammy going on five years now and this is bae. I love her."
Sammy

แƒฆCHILDHOOD HERO?แƒฆ
"I hated that bitch for being able to do whatever the fuck she wanted, but Dora the Explorer was goals. She traveled everywhere with no parental supervision, had a talking monkey as her best friend, and her hairstyle never was fucked up by all the crap she did. I was down for it."

แƒฆDREAM JOB?แƒฆ
"President of the United States. The prettiest president ever with a pretty black pony and magical powers. And the White House was pink. Don't judge me, I was seven and my Daddy told me I could be anything I wanted."

แƒฆEDUCATIONแƒฆ
Peyton Forest Elementary School (PreK - 4th grade) || Charles Barrett Elementary School (5 - 6th grade) || SEED Public Charter School of Washington D.C (6 -7th grade) || Kihei Public Charter School (7 - 8th grade)|| Beverly Hills High School (9 - Current)

แƒฆSOCIOECONOMIC STATUSแƒฆ
"I guess you can say that we're upper middle class, not exactly bad but not exactly grand according to Beverly Hills High standards. But I like it and we've never been without things. We haven't struggle much and for that, I'm grateful. My father is a major in the United States army with over six years of experience, so he makes about $70,000 per year with the inclusion of benefits and the occasional bonuses. The reason my mom really wanted us to stay in California because after several recommendations and interviews, she was hired as the executive chef at Joe's Restaurant on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, which garners her about $60,000 annually with, surprisingly, a few bonuses here and there."
Upper Middle Class

แƒฆTHE GRANDPARENTSแƒฆ
"Neither Marcellus or I are particularly close with my Dad's parents. Not that we don't know each other because they do family reunions every year, but we're just not close. We do a call maybe once a month, but that's it. On the other hand, Mom's parents have always been the best. It was Grams who taught me how to cook and I'm still sad every time I think about the fact that grandpa died this time last year, but I'm always calling Grams. I call her every day, in fact. If I'm on lunch break and don't feel like dealing with people, I call my number one girl. Not feeling like homework? Grams. She's so sassy and I love it, and she's genuinely easy to talk to. I love my Grams and I wish she would just move over here and stop pretending like she's bound to Atlanta."

แƒฆTHE PARENTSแƒฆ
"I will say it time and again, I'm a Daddy's girl. I know where the love comes from and it damn sure doesn't come from my own Mama. Daddy is my favorite person in the world and he's so supportive. He's the reason I'm even considering government occupations. I wanted to be like him, all for the country. But I also know I'm not about to join no army. No one's screaming into my ear and calling me a maggot. I'll fuck a bitch up. But he's really just great and I love him and I hate that he's not around often enough.

And don't get me wrong, Ma and I love each other. She's my mom. I'm her only daughter. I'm her eldest child and I like to tell myself that she stresses me out because she wants me to be independent. Which I am. I barely ask for anything. It's just...I don't feel like I can talk to her like I can talk to her mother. I can't talk to her about the crush I have, the fact that I am sexually active, or even about how I feel on a regular basis. I just can't. Everything she says turns into a critique, nothing I do is right, and I'm always disrespectful and never being...good enough. I hate it and I hate being in a house with her and I really wish she considered letting me stay with Grams."


แƒฆHER OTHER HALFแƒฆ
"Don't take anything I've said about my brother as hate. Marcellus is my other half. I would literally die and kill for this dude, no lie. We came into this world together and I would never want us to leave it together because I'd at least like one of us to live as long as they possibly can, but he's the main person I would put it all on the line for. I might seem dismissive of him at school, but he is my little big brother. I say that because just as I watch out for him, he's even more-so with me, even when people try to tell him that I'm in the wrong. Even when he knows for certain. We are family and I love to the moon and back. I just can't help but feel envious sometimes. Does Marcel have a curfew? Barely. Does Marcel have to worry about Ma getting on him about opposite genders being in his room? Nope. Does Marcel's schedule get changed around if Ma has something to say? Nope, not at all. More than that, she's always worried about him. Fussing over him while I'm always getting heat for what? Dinner not being ready? It's annoying. He is too, at times, but I love him."

แƒฆLIVING SITUATION?แƒฆ
Lives with mother and twin brother, with the inclusion of her father during his leaves

แƒฆFINANCES?แƒฆ
"As much as I hate her, Jauregui stores appreciate their staff a bit more than Victoria's secret with giving people $13 per hour with the benefit of employee discounts on merchandise. So, during the school week, I would make $260 per week. Then as a sales associate at Victoria's Secret, I would make $73.04. Which isn't a lot compared to a number of my classmates, but my mom gives us $150 per month, so that helps."

แƒฆHOMEแƒฆ
"My mom's old roommate and best friend is into real estate and she technically owns the home, and allows us to pay less than what her normal tenants would have to. It might not be the grandest of places, but I love the closet space and I don't have to share a bathroom."

แƒฆTRANSPORTATIONแƒฆ
"There are two cars. One that my mom uses to go to and from work, and when she's picking up Dad. That's the truck. Marcel and I have to share the second car, which sucks since I'm the one who needs the car more. Unlike some people, since he has two bikes that he claims to like using even though he's constantly asking for a ride everywhere. So, I'm the one who drives it the most and only on the weekends does Mom actually allow anyone to touch the truck. And by anyone, I mean Marcel."

แƒฆFEELINGS ON RETURNING TO B.H.H.S?แƒฆ
"It's a new year, no need for a new me, and I honestly can't wait."

แƒฆCOLLEGES LOOKED AT?แƒฆ
"I've already looked, decided and I already have the merchandise purchased and they currently decorate my room. You know it, Spelman College is the dream and I already know that I will be a student there. They've been sending me things, like all the other schools, since sophomore year. But they were the only school that I visited. I even stayed the night and got to attend a class with a current student. That's the dream and no one can tell me otherwise."

แƒฆFEELINGS ON CLIQUE?แƒฆ
"Don't even get me started. All I'm gonna say is that I'm grateful. I'm the most liked Wannabe in the school. At least, I can say that."
She's satisfied, for now.

แƒฆIS SHE HAPPY HERE?แƒฆ
"Am I happier here than I was where I was back during sophomore year? Yes, hell yes. Marcel's good with being a Drifter. I couldn't deal. I was a Nerd because I was smarter than the rest of these basic ass bitches, then a performer because well, look at me, and then a Drifter because I'm swag like that, and now a Wannabe. I have climbed higher than the majority of this school has fathomed doing, and so of course I'm happy. But of course I want more. I always want more and I will be a Royal. Maybe not this year since I'm not begging for forgiveness. After all, it takes two to tango, but I will be a Royal. Just watch."

แƒฆAVERAGE GRADES?แƒฆ
"Since we're gonna pretend like those C+ never happened, my average grades are typically B+ and As, never anything lower than a B. Like I said, I have a goal school and a career. I can't let something like GPA hinder me from accomplishing my goals."

แƒฆSTUDY HABITSแƒฆ
"I'm an excellent student, let's get that straight. The only reason I lost those 0.2 points was because of these C+ that will never happen again. I was stretching myself thin, which was probably why I fucked up enough to fuck the queen bee's boyfriend, but it's whatever. I'll just buckle down like I always do in the silence of my bedroom and get these extra credit assignments in while I'm at it."

แƒฆANY CLUBS? SPORTS?แƒฆ
"As much as it breaks my babies' hearts, I will not be returning to the Homework Heroes as a tutor or to the Glee Club as a first soprano. I've been singing my entire life and while I love it, I wasn't doing it for me. I sang in the choir at church and danced in the dance ministry because my mom wanted me to. And I came here to sing because, well, it had become a part of me. But now I can't, I won't. And I'm done tutoring people. I have two jobs and I wanna focus on being Secretary for SGA since I was elected during the spring of last year, and I need to do a good job to at least win VP senior year. But I will never quit volleyball. I plan on being captain after all."
Volleyball Team & Secretary of Student Government Association

แƒฆCLASSES TAKEN? GRADES?แƒฆ
"Of course, I had to satisfy the basic criteria. Math, sciences, english, history - the works. But I've taken a good number of extra classes that had to do with singing and dancing, which I was happy about, but I'm moving on now."

แƒฆCURRENT GPAแƒฆ
"And this is why I know that I've got Spelman in the bag. Unlike some of these hoes, I do my work. I may be exhausted by the end of the day because of all that I do, but I know that the rewards will be delicious."

Lateefah had just captioned her "ootd" pic on Instagram when her phone her ringtone for her brother blared loudly on her phone. Her Wannabe sisters, Bella, Chanel, and Tori all cringed at the sound and Lateefah rolled her pretty brown eyes. She could ignore it. It wasn't like Marcel was going to do anything other than whine about how she was supposed to have done this, that and the third, and she honestly didn't have time. At the same time, she'd just hear about it at the party later and he wasn't going to fuck with her turn up.

"What?" She could hear Marcel's attitude before he even spoke a word. "You do know Ma is pissed right? She didn't even say you could go out today." Lateefah exhaled dramatically and her girls giggled. "Is there a point to this phone call?" Marcel paused in the middle of making his leftover sandwich from the succulent baked chicken dinner Lateefah had made the night before. "Yeah, you took my truck." Lateefah rolled her eyes before stating, "You mean the truck that belongs, technically, to Dad since he paid for it and the Camry. The same truck he told me last night I could use since I'm driving my friends around. Again, what is the point of this convo?" Marcel sighed in frustration. Lateefah had been nothing but attitude-ridden since her return from Atlanta two days ago, and part of it was his mom's fault, Marcel could admit. Marissa Walker had thrown the biggest of fits at seeing Lateefah's hair and even threatened to cut it, which prompted a quick call to their father at the army base. Luckily, he was able to pick up, but the tension in the house was still present even with both females not even there.

"You know what, I don't know what the fuck your attitude is about. I'm not the one who did shit to you. As I recall, it's a bit vice versa." Marcel countered after a few moments of silence on both ends and Lateefah deadpanned. She did feel a bit guilty about telling her mother about Marcel's boyfriend, especially considering how against homosexuality Marissa was and how much she knew Marcel liked Tyler. At the same time, she didn't care. That wasn't her problem anymore. Besides, it was hypocritical of him to think that his shit should be kept secret when he knew damn well teasing Lateefah about even being something as simple as bicurious would get her in trouble. It was his fault. "And as I recall, this conversation is over. Don't forget to put gas in my car." Marcel didn't even get a chance to say another word because there was a click and then he was pretty sure his sister was gone. Another sigh of exasperation later and he bit into his sandwich. He still hadn't gotten around to breaking things off with Tyler. Hell, he wasn't even sure he could. He barely could stomach facing him without wanting to forget all about Marissa's bigotry. So, he text someone he could actually hang with.

To: Bea
Sister's driving me crazy. Got any plans til the party?

"I'm still mad Marcel's actually off the market," Bella finally said when it felt safe enough and Tori quietly handed Lateefah her grande iced green tea latte and ham & Swiss panini. The quartet were at the Starbucks six minutes from the Walker residence and Lateefah was more than glad that she had planned on staying at Chanel's house for the night. She didn't feel like dealing with her mother expecting her to be home by eight or even Marcel still being mad at her about one little thing when she had a lifetime of resentments. "My brother was off the market for you the second you declared yourself my bestie," she reminded the brunette icily, shimmying her left shoulder so that she could move her newly-dyed blonde hair over it. Bella frowned, but hurried to erase the look from her face. Chanel smirked. "Well, since that's out the way, are we headed to the mall? I need a new bikini before this party." Lateefah nodded, placing her wrapped sandwich on the table in front of them as the girls started to get their things in order to leave. They had a few hours to kill and Lateefah had saved up a good chunk of her summer money since her Grams was adamant that she not spend anything while in Atlanta. Even though she had worked for any of her summer expenses while there, her Grams had still told her to simply save it. So, she had time and money to spend.

What's up, Tee? You ready?" Tori inquired since they were ready and Lateefah was still seated. While all of the girls were Wannabes, there was a definite structure in their group, one that basically made Lateefah the Queen of the Wannabes. Which also made it that the girls followed whenever she moved. And whenever she didn't move, it meant something was wrong. This time, it wasn't. She just felt like including her bestie in her plans for the day, despite how much the others seemed to be against fraternizing with someone beneath their statuses. "Karina's coming with us. I'm seeing what she wants before we pick her up." She said, staring at her phone as she sent the text out to her best friend. Above the girls, despite their seeming loyalty, Lateefah only trusted Karina and only favored said girl. Which was why she levelled the three standing before her with a hardened gaze. "Be nice." They all nodded, though Tori seemed to quietly disagree and Bella made a face of disapproval. Chanel was usually the chillest one of the trio, but it was whatever. The quartet were rarely seen without one another and since none of them wanted to ever appear not as a unit, adding a fifth person shouldn't be that much of a difference. And again, in Lateefah's mind, it was whatever. Her best friend trumped these bitches any day of the week.

To: Rina
Hey, babe <3 <3 I'm kidnapping u. Already asked ur mom last nite. Omw in a few. Wat do u want from Starbucks?

Karina's Outfit || Karina's Location
It was one of the last Saturday's of summer, and while Karina dreamed of being at the beach, she was stuck home. It felt like she was stuck, but she wasn't really. Her mother had been pestering her to get out of the house for the past few weeks. After Maria had been diagnosed with breast cancer in mid-July, Karina felt like it was her job to relieve as much pressure from her mother's shoulders as possible. The doctors advised Maria to endure as little stress as possible, but for a woman who had spent her entire adult life working seven days a week, that wasn't easy. Not only was it in Maria's nature to work, but it was necessary for her situation. Right now, Karina and her mother were living comfortably, but that was because the Cargill's were good employers. They provided room and board for the family while still offering a fair level of pay on top of that. If they had to pay rent and utilities on their own, there was no way that Karina would be able to afford to pass off as being barely middle class, but that wouldn't be the biggest issue, considering there was no way that they would afford to live in Beverly Hills anyway.

Even with the Cargill's generous pay, the medical bills that had already started flowing in had Karina wondering what they were going to do. Their health insurance sucked, and that was the biggest reason for why the cancer had been able to grow to stage IV. Maria was the type of woman who put her children's needs before her own, so when she suspected she was ill, she brushed it off as something minor and never went to get it checked. She always insisted that it wasn't worth wasting the money on the copay when she could send that money to Alicia to help cover her textbook costs. It was obviously a bad decision, and now the cancer that probably could have been treated early on was not only in her breasts, but her liver as well. Her diagnosis was terminal, but according to doctors, as long as she received treatment, there was a chance that the cancer could be contained for long enough to possibly give Maria years of life.

Karina had spent the weeks following the diagnosis begging her mother to tell her employers of her condition. Maria refused, stating that while the Cargill's had always been wonderful to her, that she was disposable to them. In Los Angeles, there were thousands of struggling women who would eat up a job like hers for half of the pay. She didn't think the Cargill's would keep her if they knew that she wasn't going to be able to work, so she decided to keep the illness a secret until she was literally unable to do the work. That time was clearly approaching sooner than Maria thought. After receiving two chemotherapy treatments, Karina was noticing how much slower and fatigued her mother seemed. Her complexion was washed out and it was obvious that she had thinned over the past few months. She had another week or two before the chemotherapy caused her hair to fall out, but Maria had cut it short in hopes of lessening the shock of it when it did happen. She was taking things day by day, and because Karina didn't know what else to do, she was doing the same. At the same time, it was hard to not completely change her way of life after finding out that her mother was really sick. On top of feeling the need to help her mother out with the house work, Karina found herself feeling more anxious about life in general than ever before.

"Please, mom, just rest until I get back. Rose said that everything is fine, and Mr. Cargill is even letting Linda and Sherrie leave a little bit early today because he said that he and Mrs. Cargill are going out to dinner, and that everything looks great. Timothy and Amelia and Kayleen are all going to be out too, so there isn't anything that you need to do," Karina insisted as she watched her mother wash dishes in their own kitchen sink. She had spent the morning cleaning the bedrooms in the main house with the other live-in housekeeper, Rose, and was now on her mid-day break. Karina had went ahead and done the Cargill family's laundry so that her mother could spend the rest of the evening relaxing, and she really hoped that her mother would actually do so for once. "I'm going to run back over there to fold the clothes once the dry cycle is over, and then I promise I'll text Tee and see if she still wants to do something." The uneasy approval that Maria followed Karina's dictation of her plan up with reminded Karina of how self-sufficient her mother was used to being. She wasn't used to being the person in the position of needing to be looked after and cared for, but there was nothing any of them could do. "Dรฉjalo en manos de Dios," was the response that Karina always seemed to get when she asked her mother about how she was feeling or if she felt like the treatment was helping, and for now, Karina decided that all she could do was leave it in God's hands.

Thirty minutes later, she was nearly finished with folding the laundry and separating it into baskets for Mr. Cargill, Mrs. Cargill, Amelia and Timothy, when her phone buzzed and she saw Lateefah's text. She wanted to see Tee, but with tonight being Tristan Elliott's party, Karina expected Tee's wannabe mode to be fully activated. The fact that Lateefah ended up in that clique only bothered Karina because she felt like it changed Tee's character, at least when she was around the other wannabes or the royals. She felt like it propelled Tee into this personality that wasn't her, and Karina didn't understand what the goal of acting that way was. Still, Lateefah was her best friend, and getting out of the house for a few hours would be good, especially since she knew her mother would insist upon it.

To: Tee
I'm good... no need to get anything for me! thanks tho! but okay, i'll meet you outside the gates in 20 or so!

A text later, and Karina was hurrying back to her house on the other side of the property to grab her bag, twenty dollars from her mom, and reassure her mom once more that all of the housework was taken care of. Luckily for her, she managed to pass by one of the landscapers who gave her a ride in their golf cart-like vehicle to the gated entry of the Cargill property. Having to walk across the entire estate could have taken her a good half an hour in herself, so she was relieved when she exited through the gates and found that she was right within the time frame that she had given Lateefah. Rather than have Tee drive into the Cargill's driveway, Karina walked up it herself and waited at the top of the long driveway, so far up that aside from the large gates, the estate was barely visible.

By the time Aaliyah's two friends had met up with her, Aaliyah had already made her way to Teavana to buy more chai tea for her home collection, but also purchased a blackberry mojito tea lemonade. In the process of arriving at the shopping center, she had not glanced back at her phone and only glanced back at it while waiting for her drink to be prepared. Just before acknowledging the friends who were approaching her, she sent out her response to Tim with a smirk.

To: Tim
Cute. U wish, but ur cute. Did ur sis come yet?

"Hello, my darlings," she greeted the two females and they headed to their first stop at Beach Bunny Swimwear. While neither of the girls were either of her female best friends, Aaliyah considered them really close friends. More than that, they were two of her most trusted followers in the school. Deanna was her inside man on the B-Listers as she was an Animal and Shailene was her cheerleader. Aaliyah didn't always claim being paranoid, but she spent a good chunk of her time being in the know. Someone wanted to start a rumor about herself or Mikayla, she knew about it. Someone slept with someone they weren't supposed to, either of the girls would tell her. Or, have someone else inform them so that she would learn the truth, at least. A roundabout way, indeed, but it had worked. It also helped that she actually liked them enough.

"What about green? Not that you of all people are envious of anyone, but it'll match your eyes," Deanna offered, rifling through the selection while Aaliyah did the same, unimpressed. Despite loving fashion and styling, she hated shopping. It was tiresome, especially since she received selections before they reached the stores most of the time. It was interesting with fun people, but not when she had to do it for herself. Shrugging, Aaliyah picked up a yellow number and threw it at Shailene. "Well, if I can't shop for me, I've got you in the bag. You're greed." Smirking, Shailene eyed the bikini before pretending to have an attitude. "What ya tryna say, Allie?" Aaliyah stuck her tongue out at the dark-skinned gymnast. "Wouldn't you like to know?" She shot back and glanced down at her phone to see both the text from Amelia and from Kylie.

"Let's be real, ain't nobody coming in as their actual sin. This is a party, not a truth circle," Lateefah interjected in the midst of Bella and Chanel's back-and-forth. Once Karina confirmed that she didn't want anything from Starbucks (with Lateefah shutting down any smart retort Chanel might have had with a sharp glare), the girls all headed towards the Cargill estate. Bella was trying to figure out if she should go as wrath or as envy, which Chanel thought was ridiculous because that was just telling everyone that she was both extremely jealous and had a bad temper. Definitely not a turn-on. Which prompted a full on debate with Tori tuning them out by switching stations on the radio from her seat.

"Fine, whatever. What color are YOU wearing then, Tee?" Bella asked and Lateefah didn't respond for a moment, distracted by the massive homes of the premiere neighborhood. Large and spacious estates with sprawling lawns, fountains, sleek gates and long driveways that were seemingly endless - they were enough to almost turn her literally green. Whether or not Lateefah wanted to admit it, her color for sure would always be green as she was an envious individual. At the same time, however, purple fit her better and was her choice for the evening. After all, she was too damn proud to admit to anything. "Purple, I obviously. I always look good in purple."

Luckily, they didn't have to drive into the Cargill's driveway. Karina was waiting at the gated entry and Lateefah's entire face brightened immediately upon seeing her bestie. While she could have parked and waited for her best friend to climb on in, Lateefah pulled her vehicle close to the sidewalk, put it into park, and then climbed out to attack the tiny Drifter. "RINA!" She squealed before launching into a massive bear hug, practically hoisting Karina up initially. Anyone could argue that the majority of Lateefah's relationships at Beverly Hills High were superficial. This one, however, there was nothing but genuine love here and she honestly preferred having her bestie by her side for the day above anyone else.

Karina Montalvo
Image
For the past seven years, Karina had lived in the maid's quarters on the back of the Cargill estate, and yet it didn't feel like home. That's why it was frequent for her to have friends pick her up outside of the gates. It always made her feel uncomfortable welcoming people in, because it wasn't her place to do so. It was a mindset that she had probably gotten from her mother. Maria was always very insistent that her children stay within their boundaries. They were never to go playing out on the lawns, using the family's equipment, or even thinking about taking a dip in the pool. Growing up, there were so many luxuries that were physically in her reach, but realistically so far. It was something that she grew used to, and now that she was a teenager and no longer a child, something that she was content with. Every now and then, when she saw Amelia splashing around with her friends or Timothy pulling up in a new sports car, she'd feel a tinge of jealousy, but this summer especially, Rina was trying to appreciate what she had, and not worry about what she didn't have.

Her happy-go-lucky personality was a part of her natural disposition, but it was something that had proved to be necessary for her survival too, at least in a social aspect. All her life, she struggled to find a physical home that was actually hers, and that she could feel comfortable in. Socially, things weren't very different. She moved during grade school and lost those friends, and coming to a new school in a town filled with incredibly wealthy peers didn't make the transition any easier. Being bright and cheerful all of the time helped Karina attract friends, but she never really found a group to call home. She was a good singer, but she wasn't involved in music enough for it to cross over from just being a hobby, to her becoming a virtuoso. For obvious reasons, she couldn't become a royal and she wasn't athletic in any sense of the word which kept her out of the jocks and cheerleaders. Personality wise, she didn't really adhere to any other group either. Besides, Karina was far too outgoing to be trapped in one circle. The thought of having a home base seemed nice and comforting, but she just didn't mesh well with the idea of being restricted from talking to certain people because of their levels on the ladder.

Just because Karina liked to see past social labels didn't mean that everyone else did, though. A good example of people who seemed to be obsessed with social status were the wannabes, who happened to pull up only a couple minutes after Karina had gotten to the top of the driveway. The way that she squealed, "Tee!!!", exhibited how thrilled she was to see one of the drifters, and it wasn't a superficial greeting at all. Karina really loved Lateefah. She was her best friend and had been for a few years. Their encounter had been completely random, and Karina still swears that it was fate that brought her and her mother to the same nail salon as Lateefah, as her mother was treating her to a birthday manicure. Just because they became fast friends didn't mean that their personalities were identical, and though Karina tried not to think into it too much, she did sometimes worry for Tee. After everything that had went down between her and the queen bee's boyfriend, Karina still couldn't comprehend if all of this was really worth it. Was the plight to popularity really worth risking the good nature that Rina knew Lateefah really had? She wasn't sure, but Karina again tried to tell herself that just because she wasn't interested in becoming popular, didn't mean that it might not have been worth it to Tee.

As she returned the hug that Tee embraced her in, Karina peered over her friend's shoulder and into the truck. She easily picked out Bella sitting in the front seat, and though the tinted windows made it difficult to see exactly who was in back, one could only guess that it was Chanel and Tori. Karina didn't have a problem with any of them, but at the same time, she wasn't oblivious to the fact that she wasn't one of them, and that some of them didn't hesitate to make that known. She absolutely would have preferred to hang out with Lateefah one on one, but she wasn't stupid enough to think that that could be a reality. Not when they were hours away from the kickoff party of the year, at least. "You look so pretty! I always love you in floral!" she beamed when she finally pulled away from her friend. Glancing back towards the truck, she spoke again. "Okay, okay, I don't want to keep everyone waiting! Let's go!" Her words came out more enthusiastically than she really felt, but it was hard for Karina to tone down the excitement after just seeing Lateefah for the first time in what felt like forever. She slid into the back seat, taking up as little room as possible, which wasn't hard for a girl of her stature, in an attempt to be as little of a nuisance as possible. Although she wanted to chat with Tee forever, not only did she have a hunch that the girls would be bothered by her more if she halted whatever was on their agenda, but Karina didn't want to be loitering outside of the Cargill's house in case one of them pulled in at the same time. "So, I heard Kylie Jenner is enrolled at our school this year?! Do you think she's actually going to go, or is it just a rumor?" Karina liked conversation. Silence usually made her uncomfortable and anxious, especially around these girls, so she took a stab at stirring up conversation.

Aaliyah scrolled through her Instagram feed idly as Deanna went to go try on her selection and Shailene was still rummaging around in the store. Dolce & Gabana was not her favorite place to be, not that she didn't appreciate the art of the place, and so Aaliyah was very certain she wasn't going to find anything that she would want here. So, she had no need to look. Besides, the others needed their outfits. She was certain about what she was going to wear considering the fact that she planned on taking the dress off the second she got to Tristan's. In the middle of that train of thought, she received the notification from Fabian about not being able to attend.

While some of the others might have literally gone crazy when Fabian had initially been introduced, Aaliyah had just shrugged off his family's title and simply introduced himself. Not that she didn't take his title seriously, but he was a student still. He was just another kid in a building filled with kids and she saw no need to suck up to him. She saw no need to suck up to anyone and Fabian was cool enough. She liked his style, that was for sure. But at the moment, all she could feel was sorry for him. The last place Aaliyah herself would ever want to be on a day like this is somewhere where the sky was gray when she knew damn well LA was going to be bright and sunny. No amount of hanging with actual royalty would make her feel better about that situation.

To: Fab
Ur sure we don't need 2 send a rescue party? Make up some random excuse?

Just as she sent that text, Aaliyah received the notification about Tim's message and snap and was going to answer but Deanna came out of the changing room in a horrendous (if you asked Aaliyah, anyway) dress. Shailene remained silent on Aaliyah's left, but Aaliyah's raised brow spoke volumes for the both of them. "What about this one?" Shailene would have spoke, but Aaliyah cut in quickly. "Sure, if the plan was to dress like it was your last night on the Titanic back in 1912." The cut didn't fit the tall girl, the color did not complement her tanned skin, and the whole look in general looked stiff and unappealing. Granted, Deanna hadn't been shopping for today's look, but as many times as the two of them had been seen together, Aaliyah would not be caught dead beside one of her friends in some outfit like that.

Her input taken into consideration (since Deanna pouted her way back to the dressing room and Shailene snickered off in another direction), Aaliyah returned her attention to her phone to see what Tim was talking about. Only to bite her lip slowly to one, keep a chuckle from escaping but also not to make any other sound of surprise...because...he's not fair. The snap of him shirtless was not fair and he was being a tease when she had been trying to be nice about the "unwanted" sibling and she had the right mind to send something back. She could have, but as she bit her lower lip again, decided against it. He wanted a show for tonight. She'll give him one.

To: Tim

To: Riley
Soooo...no text. No welcome back. No nothing? Rlly?

Lateefah grinned in glee once she and Karina separated and waved off her best friend's compliment with a laugh. Not that she didn't know she looked good or anything like that, but still. Her smile waned just a little when Karina rushed for them to not hold the others up and her brain was quick with wanting to respond with, Them bitches can wait, but she didn't say it. Instead, the two girls headed towards the vehicle with Karina climbing into the backseat and Lateefah reclaiming her driver's seat. She gave a warning glance to Bella who hadn't even done anything, but Lateefah knew that out of the others, Bella was the mouthiest and she would be real quick to kick the skinny bitch out of her car if she said one rude thing to her friend.

Which was why she was grateful that Tori was the first to interact with Karina. "Last I checked, she was. Pretty sure Aaliyah said something about it on her Instagram." She said, pulling her phone out to see if she could find said post. Chanel hummed thoughtfully before grinning, scooting over for the tiny brunette. "Which brings me back to the argument last week. I'm still marrying Rob. It's decided." Bella stuck her finger in her mouth as if she was about to force herself to barf and Tori's nose wrinkled. Lateefah chuckled before peeling away from the curb and driving down the road. "Okay, ew! Second, it's Kylie Jenner. At the end of the day, I'm not starstruck over some chick who honestly hasn't done much. If she is a student or isn't, it honestly doesn't matter at this point." Lateefah didn't have a problem with Kylie, liked the family name and all, but Kylie was still Kylie. And that was a Kylie her mom would never permit her to hang out with even if the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan decided to become Mother Teresa over night.

After a few minutes of perousing through her online shopping link via her phone, Bella glanced back at Karina with a grin. "Soooo...what color are you wearing, Karina?" Lateefah glanced back at her best friend through the rear view mirror with a bright smile. "Oooooh, red. Definitely red, maybe pink and red."

By the time Tristan heard the roar of an engine in his driveway, he had already decided upon wearing orange for gluttony instead of being the stereotypical blue for lust like Aaliyah thought he would be. It was a split second decision, but with his stuff spread out on his bed, he had walked back to the kitchen and began preparing his own lunch like Tim. Well, at least, he was preparing it. Tim had staff to do that and Tristan knew he could get that if he wanted to, but it honestly wasn't necessary. A cheesy chicken and bacon melt sandwich wasn't a hard thing to make and as he let the pan cool on the stove before he placed it in the dishwasher, Tristan scooped up one half of his sandwich with paper towel and went to open the door. Friedrich had already rung the bell and he didn't want to keep the guy waiting outside.

"Hey, man. Wassup? How was your summer?" He greeted and let the Royal male inside. Lexi came poked her head out of the kitchen, but then went back to drinking her water. No surprise there. Once she got used to certain people's scents, it was a wrap. Unless you were one of her faves, she didn't always come out to greet you. A very decisive dog, his mom had joked once, but Tristan just saw her as another one of his girls. She was just as picky about her people as both Aaliyah and his own mother. As he led Fritz to the downstairs lounge and man cave areas since both had the video game systems, he nodded towards the bar and miniature fridge. "Want anything to drink or something? I invited Tim, but he might be over a bit later." While Tristan normally told his friends that they basically lived in his house and that they could raid his stuff on their own, spending time with his mother two weeks ago brought out his manners and well...there they were. Taking a bite of his sandwich, he also sent a text to a few friends.
