"Get up we're going to church."Kori yelled before turning on Gospel music.

This girl can't be serious. I rolled over and pulled the blanket over head.

"Red get up!"She yelled pulling the blanket back. I smacked my lips before sitting up.

"Why we got to go to church."I asked mugging her.

"Because Raniya and I want to go."She said in a duh tone.

"I ain't got shit to wear so I ain't going take Macc."I said grabbing my phone.

I checked my notifications seeing my sister texted me.

Jazmin😑💜
Today 7:12 a.m.

I need 695 for rent.
I don't get my check til next week.

I just gave you 2500 3 days ago.

I had other things to pay.

Alright whatever.
Check yo cashapp.

Thank you I appreciate it.

I clicked out of our messages. We ain't have the best relationship but it wasn't the worst.

"Here Macc went and picked this up for you."Kori said handing me a black backpack.

"Be ready by 10:15."She said walking out the room. I opened the backpack and pulled out a black and white Givenchy sweater and black Amiri jeans.

I got up and went to do my hygiene.

"Pull my hair back for me."I asked hanging Kori a black ponytail holder.

She grabbed it and pulled it back.

"Appreciate it."I said. I stood in the mirror fixing my pants.

"You ready? Where Raniya?"I asked grabbing my keys.

"Yep and she rode with Jayybo."Kori said putting her cardigan over the white dress she was wearing.

"Macc hurry up."She yelled up the stairs.

He walked down the stairs with a mug on his face.

"Y'all really upset about going to church?"She asked as we walked out the door.

I ain't say nothing

. "Yes big man know I love him and allat extra rah rah."Macc said.

She laughed.

We got into the car.

"Type in the address."I said handing her my phone.

"Starting route to St. Baptist Church"

I looked over at her as Gospel music started playing.

"I didn't say do all that."I said as she handed me my phone back.

"Turn this up this my song."Macc said from the back seat.
