midwest, ep 1  — first night fights part i.

───────── 彡 DETROIT, MICHIGAN!

inside of a luxurious hotel room, andraya rowe sat criss-crossed on the double bed with her phone propped up on a pillow in front of her. she watched a facetime call from natalie come through, and she accepted it.

"ms. rowe!" natalie started off the call.

"nat, nat!" andraya responded with the same energy, following up with a wide smile that revealed porcelain veneers.

intv: andraya: "i've known natalie for a long time now, and even though i got a lot of backlash for some of the things i've done, i was highly requested to join the cast of this season of baddies after i popped up at the auditions. as far as the backlash, i don't give a fuck." [she shrugs her shoulders] "i did what i did, baby."

"you look good, draya!" natalie gave the girl her props. "how've you been? it's been a while since we last talked."

"well, i've invested a lot of time and money into myself. i got these done—" she placed both hands on her boobs that were sitting up perfectly. "i've also been travelling, making content, having a time. all the things a baddie's supposed to do."

"period, period." natalie nodded along.

"so, what's this about? fill me in." andraya leaned into her phone.

"well, we did have a get-together earlier with us ogs and two of our celebrity guests this season, akbar and jaidyn. things went up, but your name actually came up in the conversation."

"of course. who is there to talk about if it's not me?" andraya shrugged and poked her bottom lip out, showing off her dimples.

"diamond the body actually mentioned you."

"oh, that's my girl, i love diamond." draya's voice grew louder, showing her excitement.

andraya lived a lot of lives prior to the show. she'd been everywhere all over the industry, but she made frequent visits to diamond's strip club called diamond dolls which is how andraya knew dtb. in recent years, the girls hadn't seen much of each other in-person, but there was a lot of support on social media.

the girls hit each other up once the cast was posted, making sure they were good, so andraya knew dtb didn't have anything negative to say about her. the bond was still there.

"...akbar did have something to say about you, too. she plans on addressing you, just because you two are about to be around each other for long periods of time."

the name mentioned made andraya visibly cringe as she leaned back from her phone, taking a sip from a champagne glass.

"and when does she plan on addressing me?" andraya asked.

"we're gonna be heading to the house tomorrow. you're actually gonna go in with a different group of girls, but you two will be face-to-face once we've all made it there." natalie explained and andraya understood.

intv: natalie: "if you know andraya, then you know exactly what she's known for."

intv: natalie: "this girl has a mouth on her, but her fans always saying that they wanna see her get in the field, and here on baddies, when you pop your shit, you're gonna have to back it up." [she stretches out her mouth, making an exaggerated 'yikes' face.] "we're gonna see how andraya fares with the other girls."

彡 andraya's outfit && hair !

──────────────────

outside of a hotel in detroit, a group of nine girls made their way inside of a black sprinter van, quickly filling up the four rows of seats.

for the first day of filming, andraya strolled confidently in a pink gia set, an outfit meant to keep her comfortable, but still standing out while they were on the road. her hair was in a high ponytail with a white headwrap on standby.

andraya knew exactly what she was walking into. she knew what the show was about, and she had been briefed on some of the shady shit behind-the-scenes by diamond.

she was walking near the back of the group, close to a brown-skinned girl sporting a purple set and a taller light-skinned girl wearing a red set with a graphic jacket. andraya learned the girls names during the walk, paula and alexis, or pretty p and big lex.

big lex was from ohio, too, so andraya bonded with her over that while they were waiting for the sprinter to pull up.

"you're so pretty." andraya heard one of the girls say once she got on, a girl she eventually found out was emma.

she complimented the girl back before sitting in the only available seat, one that was between two girls in blonde wigs, yoshi and summer. she was in the seat behind jazmin who she knew as kash doll's friend.

"let's turn the fuck up. welcome to detroit, bitch! baddies midwest, season like no other, bitch, let's get it!" the girl to her right said, her words going directly into andraya's ears.

andraya ignored summer and pulled out a hand mirror, making sure everything was sitting pretty for the camera.

as soon as all of the girls were seated and comfortable, the sprinter started to move, meaning they were on the way to the house.

"so andraya, how are you feeling about... y'know, just everything? being here, everything?" big lex asked her out the blue.

andraya waited a second to answer, looking around at all of the girls. her eyes paused on one of the girls sitting in the front row, one she recognized as ivori, a girl who had been all over the internet for fighting and other wild shit.

"to be honest, i feel a way about them putting me on a sprinter with all the new bitches. jaidyn alexis ain't no more of a 'celebrity guest' than me, and definitely not no fucking akbar v. i'm the reason bitches even know her."

andraya looked around and saw all of the negative reactions to her words, noticing that some of the girls looked disappointed like they were expecting her to say something positive. she just wasn't that kind of girl.

bad dolly, the girl next to ivori, turned around in her seat to address her. "why you acting like it's a problem you gotta be around us?"

"a bitch don't need to wanna be around me, i don't give a fuck." ivori said from the front seat, clearly directed at andraya.

"being around y'all isn't an issue... some of y'all actually cool." on cue, andraya looked at pretty p and big lex. "but i'm not understanding why i'm in the sprinter with the new bitches. i been on tv, i been in my bag."

"and i been on tv, too. you not the only one on the sprinter that did a show." bad dolly spoke, mocking andraya's way of saying it.

andraya's eyebrow raised at the way dolly spoke, realizing that dolly was being funny on her time.

"you been on tv? i know her," andraya pointed at ivori, then looked back at dolly with a confused look. she let her chin rest on her hand and poked out her bottom lip. "but i don't know you. what typa show was you on?"

"i did a show on now thats tv—"

"exactly." andraya laughed. "a show on now thats tv, and didn't make no noise, mind you."

intv: andraya: "y'all messy as fuck!" [she laughs, pointing at the producers behind the camera] "y'all knew exactly what y'all was doing putting me on a bus with the hoes y'all put me with. but i don't give a fuck. lex asked me a question and i spoke my mind, what the fuck do i look like biting my tongue for a bitch?"

"and you know what, i definitely feel like, from just the way you acting right now, that like you feel like you're better than everybody else and—"

andraya nodded, confirming that dolly was telling the truth. "i do feel like that." she said bluntly.

"well you're not. and i'm here to let you know that if i have to."

"how you plan on letting me know?"

dolly sucked her teeth and faced forward. "wait 'til we get off dis sprinter."

"oh, okay. still sitting here untouched. i don't know you, bitch, you're irrelevant." andraya continued to pop it, now loving that she was getting a reaction out of dolly.

"you're gonna know me, ho, and i'm not gon' be too many more bitches."

"i'm not gonna know shit, bitch." andraya mocked dolly's heavy accent the same way dolly previously mocked her.

"oouu, yo' mouth!" dolly clutched her fist and raised it in the air out of frustration.

intv: bad dolly: "ain't even thirty seconds in, this ho andraya get to talkin' her shit. i'm already knowin' this bitch for who she is on the innanet, but i wasn't trippin' until she started poppin' it onna sprinter. don't naan ho need to be in my presence."

"i hope y'all ready to turn the fuck up. the detroit way! let's motherfucking get it!" summer expressed once dolly and andraya's argument stopped.

"muhfucka might turn up on you!" pretty p slid a comment in.

"uh, and imma be ready to catch that fade every motherfucking time, bitch! wig snatched and all, bitch, i'm that! who want it?"

"why you keep saying who want it? like, why you speaking out loud?" ivori asked, pressing the issue she'd been having with summer since the prior night.

"like whatever, baddie, og, whatever. i'm on whatever."

"okay, you keep saying 'who, who' like you just keep speaking out loud, like imma need you to put a name on it or shut up."

things escalated quickly because before summer could respond, ivori got up, and the energy on the sprinter shifted.

there wasn't too much back-and-forth before ivori asked everybody to clear the aisle so she could through, right before she was pounding on summer's head in the seat next to andraya.

andraya moved away from the commotion, accidentally bumping into yoshi multiple times as they watched the fight. she sat back down once they were pulled apart.

"stop saying everybody, bitch, and put a name on it, bitch!" ivori yelled with a security guard holding her back.

"i said what i said!" summer continued to argue, her hair all over the place.

emma crawled around summer to stand in the corner where yoshi and andraya were to avoid getting caught in the middle of their fight.

"and i wish you would touch ahna again, bitch. you keep going for the smallest bitch inna house, bitch!"

once ivori said that, emma and yoshi started to slide their two cents in from beside andraya.

intv: andraya: "the girls got to fighting on a whole sprinter, and that's exactly why i didn't wanna be on one with them. what kind of shit is that?"

summer ended up in a fight with emma directly after that, and ivori jumped into it, still upset from her own fight.

the drama didn't end there because ivori decided to call big lex, emma, and yoshi out for playing it safe, and that led to pretty p popping on big lex, then big lex and ivori deciding they were gonna fight once they got off the sprinter.

intv: andraya: "there was one fight here, one fight there, but at the end of the day, nobody touched me."

the drama concluded with summer getting into it with jazmin, and then yoshi inserting herself somehow. andraya had been sitting back watching it unfold the whole time. she had already gotten her time to pop it.

──────────────────

an hour and some minutes passed before half of the ❛ baddies midwest ❜ cast pulled up to the detroit house. andraya was still in the back row, this time with big lex who she asked to help her with her scarf.

"i thought i was gonna have to use this for the bitch akbar, but it's hoes coming out the woodworks with issues now." andraya said once the scarf was on.

big lex smiled, nodding in agreement.

intv: andraya: "we finally get to the house, and i already know what's about to happen. a bitch already told me 'wait 'til we get off this sprinter', and i'm here. waiting."

"i just wan' know who gon' be the wig splitter though. that's the shit i wanna see. they think they want motherfuckers to fight, i wanna see motherfuckers bleed." dolly divulged as their sprinter pulled into the backyard and they all saw the big grass circle in the middle of it.

"look at that grass, though." dolly said. "smash a bitch head on the concrete. y'all needa show 'em they don't want nobody to fight nomo. do a bitch dirty. i know i'm 'bout to." dolly told the girls in the front, dissing andraya.

andraya wasn't taking heat to anything that came out of dolly's mouth. she wasn't bothered nor intimidated.

dolly got off the sprinter first, then jazmin, ivori, pretty p, yoshi, emma, big lex, and last but not least, andraya. when lex got off, she paused to take her slides off.

"come, come." ivori called for lex.

"yup, i need that." big lex matched her energy.

out of the corner of her eye, andraya saw bad dolly taking off her bookbag. emma walked off the bus holding andraya's phone and her purse, so andraya was already on it. as ivori and lex were squaring up in the grass, andraya and dolly approached each other on the concrete.

"you got some smoke?" dolly asked as andraya inched closer to her.

"girl, let's go."
