I make it back to my room, and Rylee has her ratchet “turn up” music on full blast while she puts on her makeup.

She turns and looks at me. “Girl, hurry up. I heard from some friends this kickback gets lit. I don’t want to be on time, but we definitely can’t be so late that we miss everything.”

This definitely isn’t a date if it’s a party that everybody knows about. I walk over to my bed and see a head-to-toe outfit already laid out.

“Oh yeah, I know how you take forever coming up with an outfit, so I did it for you.”

She has selected my oversized black band tee, high-waisted shorts, black tennis shoes, and my university hat. I’m not going to lie, it is a cute outfit, but she’s getting too comfortable going through my stuff. Being an only child, I never had to share anything. I’m always open but at least ask first, you know?

After an impromptu dance session and making sure my face and hair are “on point,” we finally make it to the kickback. I’m greeted by a guy who is obviously drunk because he calls me Carol and forces me into a conversation until Rylee pulls me away.

The kickback is at Elijah’s condo, which is huge and modern and has high ceilings. When I walk inside, I see most people are gathered in the living room where a card game is going on. This room is nice, decorated with a giant portrait of the ocean at sunset, an expensive glass table, and leather seats.

He needs to decorate my place whenever I get one.

Laughter and music blare from upstairs, which must be where Caleb is. Not like I’m in a rush to get to him or anything, but I’m guessing that’s where he is.

“Girl, do you see this place? Man, I could get used to this,” Rylee says, gliding her hands on Elijah’s couch.

“Who said you’re going to be invited back?”

She waves her arms up and down her body. “Look at me. Of course, he’s going to invite me back.”

“Whatever you say.”

She definitely has confidence.

We walk upstairs, where a black couch has been pushed over to make room for a DJ and a dance floor. Six or seven people fill it, moving to the music. A bartender wearing a cute red dress works in the corner of the room, handing out pink Jell-O shots from behind a miniature bar. Never had a Jell-O shot before, but I might try it.

A giant flat screen mounted to a wall plays music videos.

My eyes continue scanning the room, going past two guys playing beer pong and eventually landing on Caleb, who’s looking like a whole snack in jeans and a plain tee that clings to his ripped chest. He has a red cup in his hand and talks to a tall guy.

“Girl, I’m about to get in line for beer pong,” Rylee says over her shoulder as she walks away.

Should I walk over to Caleb or wait for
