Marissa was fairly popular in school as she had a charming and loveable personality and was part of the cheerleading squad. Dre on the other hand was not welcomed by everyone as she was silent and didn’t much talk to anyone other than Marissa.
Marissa was the only person who came to Dre’s rescue, shielding her from all the bullies. Marissa and Dre started living together when Marissa moved out to start her career in make-up and hairstyling. Both of them were hardcore fans of Ni’Jah who loved her above any other artist out there.
Marissa had a boyfriend named Khalid who usually teased and bullied Dre because of her odd behavior. This one time when Khalid and Marissa were having sex and Dre looks through the open door, Khalid finds her looking at them and keeps going looking straight at Dre. Marissa wanted to be a make-up artist and had taken a new job for a night where she had to go do make-up for someone but it meant that she would have to be absent from her current one at the mall where she worked with Dre.
She asks Dre to manage this one night without her but the store ends up getting robbed when Dre was talking to Khalid who had come to meet Dre. During their time, Khalid approaches her to have sex with him. After the store has been robbed, Dre calls Marissa telling her about the robber, and asks her to pick her up.
