Prince !!!

"My voice is mad deep Prince, he's gonna think I'm a whole man," Samiyah paced. "Gurl no he's not, just practice your fish voice. I do it all the time it's not that hard," he smiled, sitting up ready to teach Samiyah how to sound fish.

"How..how do I do that?" Samiyah laughed nervously. The only time she sounded fish was when she pretended to be a white girl named Savannah she made up to aggravate her mom and younger sister. "Gurl just make your voice a little higher," he smiled, sitting up to get into position for his demonstration.

"Oh my gosh boiiii, stawp playin with me," he giggled making his voice higher as he spoke. Samiyah smiled but she didn't want to do that. He sounded more like a drag queen than an actual woman and she felt she would sound the same.

"Imma answer and just not talk," she smiled nervously. "Okay gurl it's up to you," Prince replied instantly glued to his phone. "Damn bout time you answer the phone," Kam blurted out as Samiyah answered the call. "I'm sorry," she apologized. She couldn't believe she was actually talking to him. Although she knew virtually nothing about this guy she was hopeful that they would date and be together for a long time. Samiyah had very low self esteem from her childhood that wasn't getting any better.

So anytime a guy showed any small amount of interest in her she would run towards them ready to give them her heart in all its entirety. "Aye you sound like Pop Smoke," Kam laughed. Prince sat in the corner and smiled a bit at his comment. "Aye aye say *welcome to the party*," he laughed harder. Samiyah turned the camera off and muted herself instantly. Looking over at a grinning prince with misty eyes, she hung up the phone.

She was embarrassed. Embarrassed that she actually thought she could get with Kam. Embarrassed that her best friend sat and laughed instead of at least making an attempt to stick up for her. Embarrassed of herself for trying to speak to him knowing that she sounded like a man as it is. Embarrassed.

Looking down at her phone, a tear fell onto her cheek which she hurried and wiped away. "Yeah so I'm boutta go to sleep," she said putting on a smile and pretending to laugh at the hurtful comment Kam made. "Okay gurl well imma go crash on the couch then. Can I have that comforter?" Prince smiled, getting up and stretching a bit. "Yeah, yeah I got it for ya," Samiyah said looking down at the tiles in the floor.
