chapter five

IT WAS FINALLY HOMECOMING WEEK, I had class only on Monday and Tuesday. Since today was Sunday I had a couple of clients hair to do. And shop closed with me at 8. Give me enough time to get ready for the parties.

"You ready to do my hair?" Samantha asked walking in from the bathroom with freshly blow dried hair. I nodded my head and got out the bed.

"Let me wash my face and brush my teeth first." I responded and she nodded before sitting down in my hair chair.

"How many clients you got today?" Samantha asked.

"Girl fifteen. After you, I got two more wig installs and a full set to do. Then, we going to the worship service. Soon as that's over I got a four glue in closures, one wig install, three regular glue ins and two fill ins." I sighed.

"Damn so what time we going to the Que party?" Samantha asked. "I still gotta get the bottles from Dre."

"My cut off time is eight on the dot. I should be done with my last client around seven. I got a small twenty minute gap between clients so I'm gon' shower then. My hair already gon' be curled from service. I'm just gon' keep my flexirods in all day."

"Okay bitch what you wearing?" she asked. "I'm thinking about my green camo pants, my black Yeezys, and a black sports bra. It's gon' be hot and them pants make me look thick."

"Yeah I like that. I'm wearing a simple ass romper, and we getting on stage. Fuck that standing in the crowd shit." I shrugged. "Na'Jour pledging them niggas anyway, he gon' be up there."

"Cool." she shrugged. I finished brushing my teeth and grabbed her wig from my wig stand. I made my way back to Samantha stumbling a bit from dizziness. "You okay?"

"Yeah I'm just light headed." I responded. "I'm so glad practice cancelled , class gon' be cancelled. I can finally catch up on some sleep."

"Catch up? Girl thats all you do." Samantha chuckled. "You still taking that test right?"

"Girl fuck you and that test. My period is coming, I feel hella bloated." I said as I started braiding her hair down.

"Yeah whatever. It's gon' be waiting on you after this week over." Samantha said.

I got dressed for worship service, and waited for Samantha to finish getting ready. I had on a Hilary Banks inspired outfit with some modest closed toe heels. My hair was pulled up in a messy updo bun, to hold my curls while we were at church.

"Okay, how do I look?" Samantha asked coming out the bathroom. She had on a black blazer set and some open toed pink heels.

"Good for the Lord sis!" I responded as I grabbed my purse and phone. I seen Na'Jour texted me telling me he was outside waiting for us. "Come on Na'Jour outside."

We arrived at the church and Na'Jour dropped us off at the door so he could park. I felt my other phone vibrating in my purse, I checked it seeing it was clients confirming their appointments.

"Who you texting?" Na'Jour asked as he walked up to Samantha and I. He held the door open and we walked in.

"Clients. So after this you need to take us straight back to the dorms." I answered.
