Chapter Nine:
Absolutely Not Slutty Moana
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

"It's Halloween bitches!" Leilani cheered, throwing her hands in the air as she spun in a circle. Lexi giggled, slipping the fake glasses onto her face. "How do I look?"

Lexi chuckled, "Moana, I see? Cute."

Leilani blushed, rolling her eyes as she flopped onto Lexi's bed. "I'm so ready for the party tonight! I'm gonna get.. so fucked up."

"Lani," Lexi spun herself around in the rolly chair, looking at her pointedly. "You promised to tone it down."

Leilani let out an overdramatic sigh. "Fine, fine! But only 'cause you're... so cute."

Lexi laughed, rolling her eyes as she stood from the seat. "We don't wanna be late, do we?"

"No-" The sound of the doorbell ringimg cut off Leilani's sentence. "Coming!"

Leilani stood, sliding her hand into Lexi's and intertwining their fingers before pulling her out of the room and down the stairs.

She raised her hand, readjusting the crown on her head as Lexi pulled the door open. Rue, Kat, and Jules stood on the other side, giving each other strange glances as they saw Leilani and Lexi's costumes.

"I'm Bob Ross!" Lexi said cheerfully, raising their intertwined hands. Jules swallowed, pursing her lips and nodding her head. "The painter.. from PBS?"

Kat nodded, sending her an awkward smile. "Cool.."

"And I'm Moana! From th-" Leilani tried to distract her friends from laughing at Lexi.

"Hey, creepy." Lexi's mom cut her sentence short. "The whole point of Halloween is to look attractive."

"She does!" Leilani defended, leaning close to Lexi so that only she would hear, "I'd fuck you."

"No, it's not." Lexi crossed her arms, her cheeks reddening from Leilani's comment.

"Oh, really? You do me a favor and count how many of your girl friends are dressed like fifty year old men. Report back to me." She challenged, taking a sip of her wine. "Leilani over here dressed as a slutty Disney character, isn't that right?"

Leilani shifted uncomfortably, looking down at her outfit. She didn't intend to be seen as the "slutty" version. She just wanted to go as Moana becuase she looked like the girl who voiced her.

"Is it too much?" Cassie's voice pulled her from her trance, causing her to look over.

"Absolutely not! Wow."

"Cassie! Lookin' fine as fuck, bitch!" Leilani cheered, sending a wink her way. "Damn."

~~

Leilani giggled, leaning her head back as the warm alcohol slipped down her throat, burning until it hit her stomach. A warm tingly feeling spread from her belly button throughout her body as she slowly walked over to the couch where Lexi and Rue sat.

"Hey, beautiful." Leilani winked, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and resting her leg over hers.

Lexi grinned, planting a peck against her lips. "Hey."

Rue blinked slowly, knitting her eyebrows together as she watched them. "Okay, what the fuck did I miss?"

The pair glanced at each other momentarily before giggles spilled from their lips. Lexi looked forward, her smile faltering when her eyes landed on Jules.

"Is she okay?" Lexi asked, her question changing the atmosphere around them.

Rue shrugged, "I don't know.."

"Does she normally drink?" Lexi continued.

"Oh, fuck no." Leilani shook her head, pursing her lips.

"No." Rue sighed, shifting uncomfortably.

"Something's definitely going on." Lexi sighed, leaning into Leilani's body. "This must be weird."

"What?" Rue tore her eyes from Jules to look at Lexi.

"Like, being a teenager, but not being able to do normal teenager stuff." Lexi explained.

Rue blew air out, causing her bangs. "Yeah? Well, when I'm an adult, I won't be able to do adult things either. So.."

"That sucks." Leilani grumbled, earning a nod from Rue.

"Is that Gia?" Lexi leaned forward, causing Leilani to look where her girlfriend had focused her gaze. Gia sat next to a boy, a joint between her lips.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me!" Rue sneered, standing from the couch and marching over to the the two, followed by Lexi and Leilani.

"What are you doing here?" Gia asked, pulling her head from the boy's shoulder.

"What am I doing here? What the fuck are you doing here?" She asked pointedly, crossing her arms.

"Getting lit." The boy responded, causing a laugh to burst from Gia.

"I'll deal with your ass later." Rue pointed at Gia before turning her attention onto the boy. "Get up. I said get the fuck up."

Leilani nodded, helping Rue drag him through the crowd before shoving him against the counter and leaning close to him.

"I'm gonna be straight with you, Roy. Ever been to rehab?"

"No, I'm Troy-" He cut Rue's sentence off.

"Shut the fuck up, asshole." Leilani sneered.

"I don't give a fuck! I said, ever been to rehab?" Rue asked, tightening her grip on the counter. Troy swallowed, shaking his head. "Well, in rehab, there are some real fucked up motherfuckers. We're talkin' people who are on the hook for armed robbery, attempted murder-"

"Actual murder." Leilani crossed her arms, trying to appear as intimidating as possible.

"Yeah, real fucked up shit. Hardcore motherfuckers."

"It's true." Lexi said, causing Troy to look at her. "I went once. It was scary."

Leilani bit back a laugh, looking down at her feet as Rue continued to drill the boy. "You know what happens when you spend an extended amount of time in rehab?"

"N-No." He stammered out, swallowing thickly as he leaned back.

"You tend to make friends with those hardcore motherfuckers." Rue answered. "So let me be very clear with you. If you so much as go past first base with my little sister or try and get her high again, I will call Omar. I will call Marlo. I will call Avon. I will call brother Mozo.. I will call fuckin' Bodie and I will call fucking Stringer, and I will have these motherfuckers standing outside on your front lawn, do you hear me?"

"Or even Weveh." Lexi threatened.

"And I will sue your ass and your family's for everything you got. Not gonna be so fun having those motherfuckers after you without a house to protect you, right you clown fuck?" Leilani threatened, pointing a manicured finger at him.

"N-No." Troy shook his head rapidly.

"A hundred percent. Do you know what kind of people these are?" Rue asked, causing him to shake his head again. "These are the kind of people that will strip you fucking naked and go to work on you with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch. Do you hear me?"

"Rue, I think he understands."

"I don't think he understands."

"Speak up, ugly ass." Leilani glared.

"Tell her you understand!" Lexi crossed her arms, looking down at the boy.

"I understand." He said shakily.

"There you go. Now go in there and tell my little sister she looks nice." Rue stood up, allowing Troy to quickly straighten his back and leave the room, glancing back at the three girls.

Leilani let a giggle slip past her lips as she slid an arm around Lexi's waist. "Ugh, you're so hot when you threaten people."
