CHAPTER 2
Sara looked at the two outfits on the bed in front of her, debating over which one to wear to Steppes. One was a purple-blue tank top that went down to just above her belly-button and a black leather mini-skirt. She'd wear her hair in two French braids along with a pair of hoop earrings similar to the ones lent to her by Chenille on her first time at the club. The other outfit was a simple black halter top along with a longer skirt that the leather one.
"Which one do you think?" She asked Chenille, who was fixing her makeup in Sara's bedroom mirror
"Hmmm ." She replied, closing the cap to her lipstick and walking over to the bed where the clothes lay, "This one's ti-ght!" She exclaimed, in reference to the purple tank with the mini skirt.
"Really? You sure it's not too skimpy?"
"Nah . but this one's slammin' too," She replied, as she packed up all of her makeup into her purse and walked out of Sara's room to leave. Derek was patiently waiting outside of her room, waiting to take the two girls to Steppes.
"Man, you guys almost ready? I've been waitin' here forever," He commented, before Sara stuck her tongue out at him and closed the door.
"Derek, don't you want your girl to be lookin' hot tonight for Steppes? A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!" She joked, as Sara came walking out, shutting the door behind her (Which her father iHadi actually fixed). Derek felt a smile creep across his face as he watched Sara walk across to the coat-rack.
"What? You don't like it?" She asked him. He just realized he had actually been staring at her
"No! No you look . great," He said, rising from her couch along with Chenille. Sara could feel her face starting to blush as Derek put his arms around her and kissed her lips. He started to whisper something in her ear, but Chenille interrupted them
"Ya'll can do that later, c'mon we're gonna be late!" ------------
Sara, Derek and Chenille took out their I.D's and danced their way into the club.
"Ohhhhhh yeah!" Chenille exclaimed as the song "In Da Club" by 50 Cent came on and she headed onto the dance floor along with Derek and Sara. Once they got dancing they just couldn't seem to stop, until Sara could feel the envious eyes of Nikki on her and Derek. She mentioned it to Derek, but he just simply shook it off
"Just ignore her," he said as they continued showing off their off-the-hook hip-hop moves. Sara just couldn't stop thinking of Nikki watching them dance. Obviously she was jealous and resentful of Sara, but that wasn't what really bothered her. What bothered her was the thought of Derek being with anyone but her. Trying to shake these thoughts off, Sara headed to the washroom to freshen up. Once she entered she realized that that was a bad decision. The first thing she saw was the back of someone's body, along with long black hair. As soon as they turned around Sara wanted to run out there and then.
"What you doin'?" She asked, as if she didn't know. Sara's first instinct was to simply ignore her . but that didn't quite work. "When I ask you somethin' you better answer, bitch!"
"Look Nikki," Sara started, not trying to offend her- she didn't feel like getting into a fight tonight, "I don't want to fight with you. I'm just coming in here to ." Nikki didn't give her a chance to finish
"To get in my way!" She slowly walked over to Sara until they were only about an inch apart, "Stay away from Derek,"
"No!" Sara replied, pushing her away. Nikki sneered and Sara decided it was best to run out. Nikki followed her and literally jumped on her back and began pulling on her hair. Sara screamed and shook her off, when Nikki tripped her. A crowd was now surrounding them and Sara could see Derek trying to make his way over to see what was happening.
"Sara!" He exclaimed before attempting to break the two up. Nikki spit on Sara, which made things worse. Derek managed to finally calm Sara down and bring her outside and out of the club with Chenille tagging behind; confused. Once they were outside Derek saw the glistening red flowing down Sara's white cheek from her lip
"Damn Sara!" He commented, heading toward his house, "Come on over to our house, we'll put somethin' on that . what happened?" He asked, putting his arm tightly around her. He wanted to be angry at her for stooping to Nikki's low, but found that he couldn't. He could see the tears in Sara's eyes and he didn't have the heard to be mad at her.
"Nikki . god that bitch! Okay, I walked into the bathroom and there she was saying all this shit . and then she told be to stay away from you Derek so I pushed her and then everything started and ." She continued, wiping the tears from her eyes. She could hear the pitter-patter of feet behind her, which appeared to be running toward them.
"That's it, go ahead and cry bitch!" Nikki yelled, stomping toward them, "It ain't over," Derek walked toward her but stopped before getting too close to her
"Stay AWAY from me Nikki," he said coldly, "Jus' cause you got DUMPED by that dude doesn't mean you gotta come crawlin' back to me. Just stay the hell away from me AND Sara,"
"She don't love you like I do Derek!" Nikki screamed. This time Derek and Sara just ignored her and, eventually she left.
