We arrived to Miami and I couldn't keep my happiness inside. I was leaning all over Stokeley to look out the window at all the big buildings, nice stores and crowded side walks.

"So where are we going first?" Jazmin asks.

"To a couple of stores downtown, then to the Casino to win some shmoney, then to the beach, then to the mansion to have our own lil party" Isaiah explained.

"We would've hit up a club, but Asia don't know how to hold in her liquor" Antwan said making everyone laugh.

"Im not drinking or doing any drugs anyway" I say rolling my eyes.

"Come on, you gotta pop at least one molly. Its your 18th birthday" Red said.

"Hell no" I say shaking my head.

"Not even a Xanax?" Jahseh asks me.

"None of that!"

It was around six o'clock and in an hour then sun would be going down. So I guess we would be going to the beach at night.

We drove downtown and parked the truck. Everyone got out and stretched and discussed which direction we would be going first.

We take a right and the first place we went into was an antique shop. I don't know why we even went in there because no one even bought anything we just looked around.

The next few stores we went into were clothing stores.

Indya and I bought matching hoodies, while Antwan and I bought matching shoes.

After that we went to a tattoo parlor so the boys could get a tattoo but they begged me to get one as well and of course I said no.

We went to some more stores, then to a small restaurant, and back to the truck to put our bags up.

By now it was 8 o'clock which meant it was dark out. But now it was time for us to go to the Casino.

We drove to the Casino and I was not trying to lose any money but the boys went wild. So I just stood around and watched them.

"Nigga I just won $200!" Jahseh exclaimed happily as he went over to another money machine.

On the other had Stokeley lost $150. He claimed it didn't put a dent in his pocket but I didn't want him just throwing his money away.

Us girls convinced the guys to leave but they insisted we stayed another 30 minutes. When that 30 minutes was up they wanted to stay another 30 minutes.

But we kicked their asses up out of that Casino.

"You are not wearing a shirt and shorts over that bikini Asia" Mya told me while we all got changed in the bathroom at the beach.

"Yes I am" I told her.

"Nooo the hell you're not" Indya says trying to snatch the shorts I was about to put on, out of my hands.

"Yes I am! I don't want everybody looking at my body" I tell them.

"Stop being so insecure Asia, your body is fine" Jazmin assured me.

But I Ignored her and put on my shorts anyways. We left out of the bathroom and met up with the boys who all had swimming trunks on.

I walked over to Stokeley and hugged on him, just because his body was looking nice.

"Somebody race me to the water" Red's childish ass said.

"$50 for whoever wins" Isaiah challenged him.

And then they took off running. The rest of us just made our way to the sandy beach walking like normal people.

"Lets take a walk" Stokeley suggested to me. I nod my head and we walk on the beach with our feet in the water.

"How does it feel to be legal?" He asks me.

"The same" I shrug laughing a little.

"Well thats because you haven't done anything yet"

"Maybe"

"I got you a present" He tells me.

"Really? Why? I told you not to" I groan.

"Oh, you thought I was gonna listen?"

I nod my head yes as we continued to walk. The beach water was really cold beneath my feet but I managed to get use to it.

There was no more than 15 other people out on the beach besides us. The wind blew through my hair as we walked further and further away from everyone else.

I enjoyed the sound of the waves hitting up against the shore and hearing Stokeley talk. I was wishing that this moment would last forever but I knew it couldn't.

"You know I really like you right?" He asks me.

"You'll always be one of my closest friends" He says. And there he goes putting me in the friend zone.

I didn't know what to say so I just stayed quiet.

"You sure you aren't going to drink or anything when we get to the Mansion?" He asks me.

"Nope" I tell him.

"Not even pop a half of Molly?"

"Noooo"

"A Vicodin?"

"No! I dont even know what that is"

"What about a Percocet?"

"I don't do drugs Stokeley"

"You didn't go to parties, you didn't drink, and you also didn't smoke" He said trying to be a smart ass.

I kiss my teeth and laugh.

"The alcohol and the weed was a one time thing. Trust me" I tell him.

Before we got to too far we turned back around and headed back to everyone else.

"Carry me back, my legs are tired" I complain.

Stokeley stops and lets me get on his back, while locking his arms around my legs.

"You better be glad its your birthday or else your ass would've walked" He said.

"You know you still would've carried me" I say as he continued to walk.

We seen fire crackers shoot up in the air and pop for some reason as we got closer to everyone else.

"Where did those come from?" I ask.

"Isaiah brought some when we went into that one store. They were supposed to shoot up and spell out the words happy birthday but I guess they aint working" Stokeley says chuckling.

"Awee thats so sweet!" I say although they didn't even spell out the words.

We approached them and Jazmin, Mya, Crystal, and the other girl was splashing around in the water along with Red.

We stayed out on the beach for 2 hours until Jahseh decided to chase everybody around with a crab, thats when we decided to go.

We didn't even need to go get back in the truck because the mansion was literally secluded off on the side.

Isaiah didn't want to leave his truck in the parking lot so we ended driving there anyways so that he could park in the yard.

We got out with all of our stuff and made our way to the double doors while Isaiah unlocked them.

When we got inside and turned on the lights I was amazed. The outside was nice but the inside was even better.

Everything was so huge from the front room, to the kitchen and the downstairs bathroom.

"Ight so look, everybody gonna have to at least share a room with one person, because there aren't enough rooms for everyone to get their own room" Isaiah announced.

Everyone went upstairs to go pick out their rooms, put their stuff up, and change.

I so happened to be the last one to change because I decided to take the longest shower. So I got dressed and went back downstairs to see everyone in the living room.

They already had bottles of alcohol, weed, blunts and etc. sitting around on the table.

I walk over and sit next to Mya while Stokeley came out of the kitchen with a huge birthday cake that said "happy birthday Asia" written out huge, on the top of it.
