At last

*Symphoni

"Symphoniiiii, Didnt I tell you to make my bed up!!" My terrible excuse of a mother called out to me.

"Yes ma'am I was just finishing up the kitchen" I said in the calmest voice I could because I was 2 seconds always from popping off, but I respect my mama I wouldn't dare talk back to her unless I wanna get punched in my throat.

"Did I ask you to talk back and tell your dumb ass brother to get off that game and come sweep my floor, his lazy ass always wanna play the game but don't wanna do any chores" she yelled once again.

I was just staying to myself cleaning her room, most likely my little brother heard her because she was the loudest thing in the house.

I walked past my little brother, we made eye contact and shook our heads. Me and blue are very close, even though we're a year and eleven months apart. Me and my brother have been through hell, back and we still here. That's my ace, he the yin to my yang, and all of the above.

"This shit getting on my nerves, she wake up yelling, talm bout clean her room and the bitch been sleep all day....like tf. I'm tired of this sym." Blue whispered to me.

"I know blue we finna get out this house with her, just hold on a lil longe-" I was cut off by my mama

"The fuck y'all in here whispering about?" She said with a nasty atittude.

"Nun ma I was just asking blue for the bleach" coming up with the quickest response I could.

"Mhm well fix me a sandwich I'm going out in a minute with my friend and I'm hungry"

I fixed her sandwich, as I was finishing there was a honk outside, assuming it was my mama friend I wrapped the sandwich up and handed it to her. She ran outside. We dropped everything once her foot was out the door. We were done cleaning up and tired.

"I'm done with everything, finna go play basketball... You okay with staying here by yourself sym?" Blue asked while tossing the basketball in the air.

"Yea, I'm about to go wash these towels and stuff mama told me to wash, I'll be fine"

"Okay be careful walking sym"

"Nooo YOU be careful and be back before it gets dark blue....don't make me come looking for you"

"Okay 'mama' " he said sarcastically with an eye roll

"Yea whatever you heard what I said"

"Ight, ight sym stop nagging damn, bye!" He yelled before closing the door.

I gathered the towels and washcloths before putting them in my pink hamper sitting them at the front door.

"Lawwwd I gotta pee" I said to no one in particular.
I washed my hands and went to change out of my clean up clothes. I had to walk and I was not walking in those.

I decided on a plain black v-neck, some light blue ripped up levi jeans, and my black, purple, pink and white huaraches.

Fixing my natural curly hair, I put on my diamond stud earrings, keeping it simple. I grabbed the quarters off my mama dresser and applied some carmex.

I put the items in my cross over bag along with my phone charger, a few dollars, my house key and my blade, just in case a nigga or bitch wanna jump stupid. You never know out here where I live. Chicago ain't to be fucked up with like that.

Locking up the house and grabbing the hamper I headed to my destination. I put my head phones and jammed to Waves by miguel.

I walked past so many people and was nervous as hell but I didn't let it show. I'm not from out here and all but I don't have a problem fucking somebody up.

I finally made it to the laundry mat and some nigga almost hit me with the door. He tried to apologize but I kept on walking. I don't talk or know anybody and im gonna keep it that way.

While washing the items I started to think how bad I had it, from having a crazy, abusive, drug using mama to moving out here in Chicago two months ago and get-....my thoughts got cut short when the same dude that was about to hit me with the door came back with some girl with box braids and bright yellow lipstick, they stood in front of me.

I cocked my head to the side wondering what's going on.

"So bitch my man tried to apologize for almost hitting you with the door but you wanna act all stuck up like you too good to talk to" she said way too hard for me

"See ian been out here for a good Lil min and people wanna fuck with me" I mumbled and let out a sigh trying to figure out how I wanna come at big bird.

I smiled really big "Oh its so nice to meet you my name is Symphoni" I say while jumping off of the table

They both had confused faces
"excuse me" the random girl stated

"Oh I thought you wanted attention....that's what you came over here for right?"

" I see ima have to break another bitch in, hoes be coming outta no where and think they run shit I see ima have to- "

" To do what?" I cut her off "because ain't nobody gone touch Symphoni Iyana Smith or a bitch gone get cut now try me, I will wipe that bright ass yellow crayon off your lips with them fucked up ass braids." I stated calmly....a little too calm

Ole dude started cracking up and tried covered it up with a cough.

"Maurice you just gon let her talk to me like that and then laugh....I'm supposed to be your girlfriend!" Big bird screamed

"Mannn shut that shit up, I told you don't come in here fucking with this girl, you got yourself in this and how many times do i have to say we over shayla, we been over and we not getting back together hoe, you a cheater and you have absolutely no class about yourself so gon with that shit, goodbye." He dismissed her

She rolled her eyes and walked out the laundry mat.

"My bad the bitch is delusional she came in here starting with you because she still think she my woman" he stated sincerely

" its coo, control your hoes cuz it ain't nun for me to put some act right in them"

He chuckled " you not from here are you?" He asked amused because she doesn't talk like the girls down here

"Nahh buddy boy, welp its time for me to get going...I didn't catch your name...." I said about to walk out

"Maurice....."
