I am just so F.A.B. for fabulous !!!

"Zaphi, Jazzy, and Khaye are already here," Mommy calls me.

"Coming!" I shouted and hurried to pick up my floral bag too, nice!

"Hi, girls!" I greeted them when I got down to the living room.

"Hello." Greetings from my two best friends.

"Zaphi, are you sure that is what you are going to wear? That is too exaggerated." Mommy's attention is in my attire.

"Mom, it is in! Hashtag OOTD as in Outfit Of The Day! I have to look fabulous. Right, girls?" I was like a model and posed as if I had a pictorial.

"Yeah, Aunt! This is the latest trend." Khaye replied as she is wearing floral as well.

Mommy is just amazed at the three of us because we had almost the same outfit. This is me! I am stagy. I love beautiful things. I hate ugly ones! I do not like dirty! I do not want to stink! I do not like crowded! In short, I am snobbish slash artistic slash fabulous!

By the way I am Zaphia Adeen Williams! As in "Za-fi-ya". Oh no, my name is just so unusual. I am 17 years old. First-year college at a famous university. I

I cannot get out of the house without fixing myself first. Tidy everything! At least, I am not fake! I am the only child of Mommy and Daddy. My mom is Charlotte Williams and my dad is Theodore Thompson.

Why do my parents have different family names? Simply because we are just a second family. My parents cannot get married anymore.

I am close to my sister and brother who is Daddy's children to his real wife. Vaness and Vail. They are in America. There they live.

When it comes to family, Mommy and I are still happy even if Daddy is not here with us. He is also responsible for the alimony.

Here it is and they enrolled me in a good school. Dad is giving me everything that I need. Everything! His wife, Aunt Mandy, is kind. I just thank her for accepting me and my mom.

Oh right? Our family is usual but feels unusual because we are happy even if it is complicated.

Jazzy and Khaye are my best friends. We have only been together since high school. Since then, we were never got separated anymore. We enrolled in the same course. AB in Multimedia Arts. Because the three of qualified perfectly with that course.

We are creative and artistic. Last year, I couldn t wear the ones I wanted. I cannot even put on my makeup! I cannot be as fabulous as I want. I went to a school that was a bit conservative.

But now, I can do whatever I want to do! Be fab, Zaphi! Maybe it is one way to have a lot of attention since Daddy is always far away from me. I want a lot of attention from him. My siblings are lucky because Daddy is with them. I feel like Daddy is just saturating me with things but in inattention, I m lacking.

It would have been different if he was with me every day. It is as if someone will tell me that 'my daughter is very beautiful. 'Be careful and go home early. 'Don t have a boyfriend first . We are happy as I said before. But I need my dad more than these luxuries. I want his care.

The drama is over! I need to ramp like a model in the university! We have already entered our first subject. We enjoyed the first period. Why can't I spot a handsome face in here? Handsome?

This is a college goal, have a handsome boyfriend! I laughed after thinking about that! Khaye and Jazzy and I were just kidding. But education is still our priority. Even though we are like this, we are serious about learning. Swear! We are good girls! Promise !!!

"How to pronounce your name Ms. Williams?" The professor asked me while checking our attendance.

"Professor, it's Za-fi-ya," I answered smiling.

"Alright!" And he continued calling my other classmates.

"Apollo Davis. Mr. Davis. "No one answered.

"Sir, I think, he can come in tomorrow." Answer by a man in the back.

Apollo Davis! His name registered in my mind because he was absent on the first day of classes. That one looks reprehensible!

Break time...

"I feel like Apollo is handsome. His name sounds beautiful." Jazzy said as we ate.

"Me? I think he is ugly that is why he was absent. He is afraid of the bullies." I'm still laughing.

"Let us bet!" Khaye suggested.

"Handsome!" Jazzy was still depressed.

"Ugly." I still sucked.
