Ava and I sat up all night watching reality tv shows and eatting junk.
She was such a cool girl.
She was cute, just super skinny.
She had a goofy personality.
Real down to earth, funny.
"Do you smoke ?" I asked her.
"No, I don't..I drink though." She told me going in her purse and pulling out a shot of Patron.
"I wish I could drink.." I said rubbing my stomach.
She downed the shot and burped.
"Where is your baby daddy !?" She asked.
I sighed, "Around.." I said clearing my throat.
"How he look ? Your pretty. I bet y'all baby will be cute."
I smiled , "Well, he is dark skin, long dreads..nice body."
"Eww..sounds like my dad..I like my men light skin ."
We both laughed.
Only if she knew.

The next morning my mom was up making bagels.
"Can I take you to your apartment? I'll love to see it."
My mom said with a uppity spirit.
"It's in hill park."
My mom dropped the knife in her hand , Hill park ? That's the hood."
I shrugged, "It's a start." I said.
"Well..I start my new job today. I can fallow you there so I can see it before I go."
I nodded , "Ok , that would be cool."
"Can I come over ?" Ava asked me.
I nodded at her, "Sure."
Charles came rushing down stairs, "No, you can't."
Ava looked confused , "what ? Why ? I don't want to stay here with you guys."
I laughed.
"Because...." Charles stared in my eyes with anger, "I need you here...I got a surprise tonight."
My mom placed the plates on the table , "What surprise ? I mean, Ava can stay for a little while right ?"
Charles shook his head.
"Whatever.." I folded my arms, "I have no Furniture anyways."
"What? Do you have a couch ? Or bed ?" My mom asked.
I shook my head no.
Charles looked at me angry then walked out the front door. Slamming it.
"I don't know what his problem is." My mom said mad.
Ava shook her head, "Yeah, he is acting funny..I don't understand why I can't go to your house Storm."
"Come on girls..eat so we can head out.."
"But, my daddy said I can't." Ava said with a attitude.
"The surprise is later..you can stay over her house for a few hours." My momma rolled her eyes.
I wonder what the surprise is ? I thought.
