A fresh layer of clouds appeared over Tami's bed as she awoke. There was sweat on her pajamas, her hair was messy braids, and she felt sick. Looking around the room, she felt as if someone had just hit her, her eyes spinning around and around, wondering. It was Saturday, thank goodness, Calisha and Caleigh were still asleep in their bed radio silence emerged from the blue and yellow room as she quietly walked to the bathroom, she checked her phone, 7:45 am, and several text messages were from Sheena, a heavy guilt rushed over her, memories from last night with Marc flooded her, there was a heavy heat wave in their city, warning her to stay inside and stay hydrated. Tami felt a wave of guilt wash over her, it wasn't just the birthday shopping she was feeling inside her, scaring her;

It must have something to do with Marc. Even though she just remembered that she hadn't finished her gift shopping yet, she still felt the need to text Marc and check up on him; not just Marc, she needed to check up on Megan, Tony, and Lee as well.

Marc.

Marc and last night.

That kiss last night...

Tami needed to keep her distance until she could figure out her feelings.

Poor Sheena.

But she knew today was going to be a bad day.

She had a bad feeling about today in regard to those four.

Tami shook that feeling off, walking inside the bathroom, today she was going with her mom to do the shopping and now she felt even more guilty that if she didn't contact the Chapman kids, it might be too late.

Tami was lucky she was in Miami, but today was going to be a great day, and today she and her mother were going out to buy the last items for Caleigh's birthday, even though they were inside a hotel, they still wanted to make the best for Caleigh and Calisha. Tami got out of bed and walked to shower, She still felt sick about something, but she had to shower first.

"I don't want to know what the fuck is going to happen, but I hope it doesn't happen to me"

Tami said, washing her hair, rubbing her hair in motion while singing some Ariana Grande, her hair falling like a waterfall, making her even more beautiful than she already was. Tami loved being pretty, it was her best thing along with her smile. Her lashes made her more breathless and pretty, and her eyes sparkled as she fluttered her eyes towards anyone. Tamera knew she was pretty, but she hoped that her heart made her even more beautiful than she already was.

"I hope Marc and Lee are ok."

Tami stepped out of the shower, her head still confused as to what her gut was telling her. Maybe it had something to do with her dad. Her mom, maybe? her bright pink towel wrapped around her body as kept thinking about Marc and Lee. Surly they're fine. Surely. She hoped, especially Marc. Tami's day was filled with a mix of troubling thoughts, guilt, and hope, intertwined with her daily activities and plans. She blowdried her blonde hair into her usual hairstyle, down with her bangs but decided to add some hair accessories into it, braided some pieces of her hair, and sprayed Calisha's perfume onto herself making it look way cooler than her normal style, Tami brushed her teeth, dressed in a blue tube top, and a white flowy skirt, and some kitten heel, Tamera grabbed her stuffed and went downstairs for breakfast.

Lee slowly opened his eyes, feeling the warm rays of the sun gently caressing his face. As he took a deep breath, he heard the cheerful chirping of birds outside his window, signaling the start of a new day. The sound of their melodious voices filled his hotel room, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere that made him feel refreshed and energized.

Lee woke up today to make an iconic choice.

And he wants to choose violence.

As Lee entered the shower, he felt the warm water cascading over his toned muscles, giving him a soothing sensation as he felt it cascade over his toned muscles. He decided that he wanted to be the HOTTEST person in the hotel. The heat of the water made his body perspire and glow, enhancing his already beautiful physique. Besides a black shirt revealing his chiseled abs and toned arms, he wore some grey pants, a great belt, and sunglasses he stole from his father that accentuated them. Throughout the process, Lee felt so cool and confident about himself, and strutted confidently out of the door, ready to take on the world. The Vans complimented his sense of fashion, adding youth and a youthful edge. He was ready to turn heads, break hearts, and leave devastation in his wake.

As Lee made his way to the elevator, he got a text from his favorite person, who had already taken a hot shower and was combing her hair.

(Texting Katherina "Kat" VonBastein)

Lee ❤️

"Good morning. How was your shower and your sleep, pretty princess?"

Princess 💜

"Well, I just woke up and was feeling fresh as a baby."

Lee ❤️

"Aww, someone has baby fever. I thought you hated kids..."

Princess 💜

" YOU be quiet..."

Lee ❤️

"Aww, someone likes booger babies! That's adorable. Anyway, Im about to go get breakfast, walk around the lobby for a couple of minutes,see if there's some suspicious activity in the waters. Then I'll be back, I'll see if J-man sent some gadgets for us."

Princess 💜

*giggles* Ok, Ok pretty boy, you do that. I love you, Lee!

Lee ❤️ "Ok ok I love you more. Call you later."

Lee smiled as he walked into the hallway, Megan called asking where he was, and after 15 minutes of yelling, Lee just sighed and hung up the phone, dealing with Megan was like fucking a crocodile; stubborn and just gross. He was still smiling as he entered the lobby, the fresh smell of Febreze, a hint of strawberry, people chatting to themselves, the view of the outdoors, to where the restaurant was, hoping for some sweet pancakes. He looked around, the blue and white walls were making the whole lobby pop, as the chairs were a matching set of royal the third blue the chiefs wearing chief uniforms. Gentle lights flickered onto the whole lobby as people chatted, wearing their $300 dresses, fancy nails and haircuts, and nice business suits with their rich, beautiful long hair flowing, you can smell the richness from a mile away it was suffocating it feeling choked it was so...revolting. Seeing that a certain blondie bitch wasn't here, Lee smiled, seeing no one suspicious, which was weird since a 17-year-old was just walking around. He decided to get breakfast first as he started walking to the, then walk around and check for suspicious activity, as people were simply eating and chatting around, the lobby smelled so...nice...smelling so...weird.

Hotel Indigo Lobby(Insert slowed classical music)

He ordered his pancakes, sat down as the lights flashed onto him, irritating his blue eyes, he checked his phone, seeing he missed a text from Megan asking where he was. Lee kept looking around the lobby; People were just passing by in fancy suits as people were passing that smell kept coming back to him, as a presence suddenly appeared near him. It was then he looked up to see the receptionist from earlier, Asenji, staring at him, wearing a simple sweater light jeans, her sleek hair in an updo, with a weird-looking pin in her hair...it looked so... Asenji's smile and teeming distracted Lee, giving him a blush on his cheeks with his early seduction the past day on the woman.

"O-Oh, hi miss, thank you for your help earlier, me and my siblings were able to get to our rooms," Lee commented, munching on his pancakes syrup escaped his lips, you could smell it on his breath when he spoke. Lee gave a simple smile, as Asenji sat down, still staring at him.

"Oh, these pancakes are super good, I like the texture on it, super good, I think they sold out the last bit, the new batch should out in 30 minutes."

Silence

"Umm...Is something wrong?"

TIK. TOK.

Tik. Tok.

Tik. Tok.

Tik. Tok.

Tik. Tok.

*She's just staring at me, for what; I have zero gadgets on me,Megan should be downstairs in a little bit, Marc and Tony are still sleeping, literally what the fuck?*

Lee thought as he sipped on his milk while taking the last bite of his pancakes, but Asenji, with her long, knife-looking nails, and marks all over her singular fingers, reached over and took the last three stacks of pancakes from the boy's plate, her long stare scared him as she ate the last bite. Lee felt his temperature rise, he was sure Asenji was up to something. He could feel her gaze on him, as if she was looking for something. He knew he had to get out of there, and fast. Lee's heart pounded in his chest as he hastily pushed away from the table, desperate to escape Asenji's eerie presence. The room suddenly felt suffocating, the air thick with an unsettling silence that sent shivers down his spine. He couldn't shake the feeling that Asenji's intentions were far more sinister than he could have ever imagined.

Pure. silence

Lee could feel the sweat on his forehead move to his shirt, the room spinning with fear as Asenji's creepiness was becoming more and more like she was about to reach for a gun under that outfit of hers, and the feeling of the tension in the lobby raised, as Lee was feeling like he needed to call Jerry. He didn't have anything on him

Finally, Asenji said something.

"So, pretty boy, pretty boy sitting all alone, are you waiting for someone?"

Lee felt a chill run down his spine. He knew Asenji was up to something, but he had no idea what.

"Yes, and I think she just texted...Holy heck she wants to meet me right now! I talk to you later!"

After Lee had run off towards the pool area, Asenji was left to wonder what had just happened, a weird smile creeping on her face as she had her earpiece in, talking to someone.

Panic was the first thing in Lee's head as Lee was now in the pool, Lee entered the pool changing rooms to take a breather. It was still early when the was no one around, so it was empty. He then thanked the heavens that he got away: what the fuck was up with her? Lee was so confused aa to why she was so... Lee was so scared of what was going to happen next. it was really weird though the receptionist was always very friendly every time Asenji and Lee spoke to each other, sure a weird smile on her face, maybe she was stressed, talked funny had a weird robotic-like shit to her but other than that Asenji seems like a really fun person... like a really normal person...

WAY TOO NORMAL

Lee took a deep breath, his heart racing as he tried to figure out the fuck just happened.

"Ok, ok. Everything's going to be fine he said to himself everything is going to be so fine everything is going to be fine You're not going to die you don't have any weapons on you. You need to calm down."

Lee continued to take deep breaths, trying to calm himself. He told himself that nothing was wrong, that he was safe, and that everything would be fine. He reminded himself that he was alone and unarmed and that there was nothing there to hurt him. He tried to ignore his panic and keep his composure.

He focused on his breathing and calming his mind, slowing his heartbeat down. He reminded himself that his fears were all in his head, and tried to push them away. Eventually, his breathing slowed and he eventually felt calm. Lee was irritated about feeling weak, he decided this was ridiculous, and decided to take a quick shower to calm himself down, as he felt like this was the most calming thing he could do. Lee, taking a sigh, quickly stripped off his clothes, turned on one of the shower heads, and began to take a simple shower using some soap he found. As he was taking his shower, his mind kept repeating the interaction with Asenji, and how weird she was acting toward him, well, yeah he had to flirt with her to get a room, but does that change? Was he even into older women and that's why he was dating Kat, because she acted and looked older, Lee had to question it, was she into him? She was a bit older for him, sure she looked 21 but she seemed hot enough for him.

Lee stood under the warm water, he couldn't help but replay the strange encounter with Asenji in his mind. He wondered if he had misjudged her if there was something more to her than met the eye. The pool shower was a welcome distraction, its steady stream of water providing a soothing sensation that helped ease his racing thoughts. Standing beneath the cascading warmth of the shower, Lee's mind churned with the memory of his peculiar encounter with Asenji...whatever that was, he had to tell Kat and the rest tonight! As Lee turned the shower off,he could feel the residual heat clinging to his skin, mingling with the steam that filled the bathroom. The droplets of water glistened on his body, tracing pathways down his chest and back. But even the comforting embrace of the water couldn't wash away the intensity of his thoughts.

As Lee stepped out of the shower, he wrapped a towel around his waist; the fabric absorbing the excess moisture. The mirror in front of him was fogged up, a testament to the steamy sanctuary he had just emerged from. He wiped away a small section of the fogged-up mirror, his hand leaving a streak-free path that revealed his reflection. As he peered at himself, he noticed the tired lines etched on his face, evidence of long days and stress. A hint of stubble adorned his jawline, reminding him of the new age of adult life that would come to him soon, and that he had to let go of his chaotic life. The reflection also revealed a furrowed brow, a testament to the constant worry and stress that plagued his thoughts. His normally calm and composed face now showed signs of restlessness. His eyes, usually serene, were filled with a mixture of excitement and confusion. The memory of his encounter with Asenji replayed in his mind, each detail etching itself deeper into his consciousness.

As he walked towards his clothes, the hardwood floor felt cool against his bare feet, a stark contrast to the lingering warmth that radiated from within. Lee's mind raced, contemplating how to convey the encounter with Asenji in a way that would captivate his friends' attention. With each step, Lee's anticipation grew, and his body seemed to vibrate with a newfound energy. He couldn't help but smile, a mix of nerves and excitement playing across his lips.. hopefully, there will be updates from Jerry, that sure would be nice.

As Lee walked out of the showers, he couldn't help but notice a stunning blonde girl in the common area. She was standing next to someone unfamiliar, but her voice felt so... familiar to him. With her hair down and a tube top showcasing her beautiful pale skin, she seemed almost breathtaking in the sunlight. There was an angelic aura about her, but also a hint of darkness. Perhaps it was the perfume she was wearing today, or maybe it was her Beverly Hills accent that struck a chord with him. And those gorgeous blue eyes and that hairstyle... she just looked so...

"Tami?!"

Tami turned to her horror, there was Lee, right there in the flesh! He was standing right there!

"Lee?! Oh my goodness hi, I knew I was gonna run into you!"

Tami said as she hugged Lee, his big, muscular, tanned arms wrapping around her. As Tami nestled into Lee's embrace, she could feel her heart racing with a mixture of excitement and contentment. The warmth radiating from his big, muscular arms provided a sense of security.

Her fingertips lightly grazed the smooth surface of Lee's tanned skin, marveling at its bronzed perfection. The contrast between his sun-kissed complexion and her delicate paleness only intensified the magnetism between them. It was as if his arms were a shield, protecting her from the worries and stress of the outside world. The strength of Lee's grip made Tami feel both small and cherished at the same time. She could sense the power emanating from his muscles, a physical representation of his unwavering support and love. As she pressed her cheek against his chest, she could feel the gentle rhythm of his heartbeat, syncing with her own.

"Wait, wait, Tami, I'm so lost right now, what do you mean by that?" Lee asked, pulling away from the blondie, confused at her words.

"I saw Marc last night, by the pool, and...we..chatted for a bit...it felt nice."

Tami reached out and squeezed Lee's hand, reassuring him as he tried to process her words. His heart rumbled as he processed her words. As she explained to ease his fears and worries, she gently explained, "I understand it's confusing, and I understand that you hate me and why you hate me, but I would like to start over. I don't want there to be bad blood between…..well, us and your siblings, of course since we're, y'know neighbors now, and I want to turn a new leaf with you."

Lee let out a sigh of relief. He'll talk to Megan about this later.

"I'll think about it. It's nice you and Marc talk, I mean you guys are in most of the AP classes together, study together, joint at the hip, so what are you doing in Miami?"

"Birthday party, my cousin's is two days from now. Marc said you guys are here on vacation, how is it so far?"

"Super nice, I like the weather here, its kinda nicer back home, you can do things here, not just go to the park and chat with some buddies, then you go home, your mom just yells at you."

That's…. nice, Lee. Do you wanna walk for a bit? I like this convo we're having."

"...Yeah."

As they strolled through the gorgeous Miami hotel, Lee and Tami engaged in a casual conversation about school, dating, and funny memories, and shared stories as they strolled through the hotel's open-air courtyard, adorned with vibrant blue and white tiles. They were both laughing at Lee's stories as they knew today would be a good day. It smelled like tropical flowers, people chatted, and a small cat rubbed itself on Tami's long legs. Lee was a little jealous, but the cat sat back as the two teens walked towards the water fountains.

"You like that cat more than me?!" Lee teased, before walking back to the water fountain.

Their lighthearted conversation was perfectly complemented by the soft sound of a nearby fountain.

They laughed at each other's stories, reminiscing about their shared experiences and creating memories together. As they walked together, they chatted about plans and the storm that took place, and Tami introduced Calisha to Lee, while Megan, Marc, and Tony approached them, Megan's eyes were flamming seeing Lee staning next to the she-bitch.

"Hey did you know that Tami was here? I didn't realize either she just came up to me it's so nice all of us are together!" Lee smiled with his arm around Tami, Marc and Tony looked away in fear, but Megan was the first to say something.

"Why am I in the same hotel as this long-greasy haired,rat looking bitch?!" Megan yelled, her face scrunched up as the blonde Asian, who wasn't even fazed by the brown girl's threats, just clung to Lee as a girl just gave her a resting face, walking past by.

"Hello to you to Megan. Your threats are nothing to me, you yell out ridiculous threats and call me names at this point, they're like wind through my ears."Tami stated, rolling her eyes as she sat down, giving Megan a nasty look, ruffling the Clark girl's feathers, as she threw her water bottle down.

"You stay the hell away from my brother, he does not want you you filthy bitch" Megan yelled, her long hair now sweaty from the anger.

"Calling me a bitch is like describing the sky color. It's obvious and everyone knows it." Tami commented, Megan's face turned redder with anger and Tony, Lee, and Marc looked at each other in fear. Tami gave Megan a scheming look, her eyes locked in, glaring at the brown girl who is seconds away from having a mugshot photo.

Finally, with a calm look on her face, Tami said something.

"Actually I think I know exactly what it is. Someone's a little jelly. Megan, dear, is it because your boyfriend cheated on you? With Sheena? Oh no wait I get it, it was your best friend's fucking brother you kissed at Jonah's party, right? You kissed your best friend's fucking brother, you disgusting conniving smelling cave-"

*Slap*

That did it.

Tami's face was now red, not just because she was slapped, but, out of pure rage, as Megan's hand left Tami's face. As a result, Tami's eyes twitched with anger as she leaped onto Megan, screaming at her and Tami ripped out some of Megan's hair, her heart beating, sweat dripping down her eyes as for the next five minutes, she was going to

beat. this. bitch. up.

As she was thinking this, Tami found herself under a brutal attack by Megan, who knocked her to the ground. While the two girls kept punching, kicking, screaming at each other, and Megan landed blows from every angle, Lee, Marc, and Tony watched in terror as their lives slipped away from them. As Tami's hair was being pulled, she was punching Megan, landing her fist every change she got trying hard to hit her in the face, making sure to hit every spot on her face. Tami dragged Megan towards the bench, kicking her face in the bench's bottom chair part for a good thirty seconds, Megan's screaming was ringing in her ears like a alarm before Megan was able to grab Tami's other foot and drag her down, Tami's head slamming onto the concrete, causing for Megan to jump on top of Tami and started punching her.

Tami was now at a lost, she screamed, feeling her life in danger. Tami then rolled Megan over and was now punching her in the face, her rings making mark on the Hispanic's girls face. The commotion attracted a crowd of onlookers who witnessed the disturbing sight of two teens fighting. Tami was now grabbing Megan by the throat, slamming Megan's head onto the concrete, blood poured from the Hispanic girl's forehead, as Tami's eyes filled with intense rage. She wanted to do this so fucking badly, and now here she was, beating Megan's ass!

Finally, two workers, who were walking by were able to pull the girls apart, but it was already too late as Megan was covered in blood, her forehead was so drenched in blood she looked like she was ran over by a van head first. Lee gave a nasty glare to Tami as she gave Megan a smirk. Marc and Tony were just staring at the blood tht Megan lost but that was until Megan was spitting harsh words( and blood) in Tami's face as they separated.

"At least I don't kiss my best friend's boyfriend and pretend it didn't happen!"
