JADE

Noooo, what?! You didn’t tell me you and Jason are getting married?! I’m so happy for you!

JORDAN

Yeah, y’all are my idols. As soon as I get me a decent man---LORD!

LEIGH

Thank you seriously. Jason and I have been together for almost 7 years now. I can honestly say at 22 years, I have found the love of my life. Anything he needs, I got his back. And he has mine.

INDYA

Wow, that’s beautiful Leigh. I knew you would be the first. I always said you would be. {takes a sip of wine}

LEIGH

Oh stop, you all thought my ass was Tina…

Excerpt #1: Sample Story

Sometimes I write. I have a lot of short stories like this that need to be finished. I have never posted any until now. 

 FYI: There is some backstory to the excerpt, much of which has been excluded from the excerpt. In short, Indya is the main character. Throughout the story, the reader experiences Indya's growth as she ages. In this particular excerpt, Indya attends a mixer during college orientation with a few friends and becomes re-aquainted with a new friend, Kent.

Hey, have you all heard from Leigh? She said she was going to get dressed but, it’s been like 30 minutes.

{coming out of her room}

I’m finally ready. Had to repaint my nails. All that moving fucked ‘em up.
