Living in her sisters shadow became normal to Justine as she got older. She tends to be a lost face in the crowd which frankly, she doesn't mind. While other junior's in high school are busy getting drunk and turning up, she finds enjoyment in catch...
I frowned. "Um no, if he wants her he can tell her himself."
"Why you'on like him?"
I shrugged. She kicked me slightly. "You so damn mean Ju!"
I ignored her ruffling my hair.
Bri helped me wash my hair before I put my hair in braids and went downstairs.
I hadn't noticed Mama had gotten home, she and Marley were on the couch watching Frozen.
I swear Marley has watched this movie a thousand times but it never gets old to her.
"Hey mommy." I spoke sitting on the couch crossing my legs.
"Hey baby." She glanced at me. "When you want your hair did?" I shrugged.
"Whenever." She nodded telling me she would do it Sunday.
"Shh!" Marley rolled her eyes. I was about to throw a pillow at her before my phone pinged.
I grabbed my phone and saw I had a new friend request on Facebook.
"Marley you done seen this movie a thousand times give me the remote." Mama snapped holding out her hand.
"No mommy it's almost over!" She whined.
I clicked on the app since I had nothing else to do and saw it was a boy.

I clicked on his profile, kicking my feet and almost fell on the floor when I realized it was Nae's brother. My heart sped up as my mind wondered how the hell he got my information.
I locked my phone deciding to wait a couple minutes before accepting it. I didn't want to him to think I was sweating him.
Which I was.
"I'm going to bed y'all, night." I said just as Mama was yelling at Marley for hiding the remote.
I ran up the steps skipping two at a time, I shut my door to my room and turned on my TV to pass some time.
I counted down the seconds until 10 minutes past and went back on Facebook to accept his request.
I went to his page and saw he had that he was twenty years old in his info box.
I went through his pictures, which he didn't have many of. They all consisted of him blowing smoke clouds or with a bunch of boys. He was in the club or at parties in many of his pictures also.
I got off his profile after a few more minutes of lurking and turned off my TV.
I closed my eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.
The next morning I woke up around 9 and climbed out of bed heading to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and did my hygiene routine before I undid my braid out and sighed. Parts of my hair was still wet so it looked a mess. I got my blow dryer out and dried the rest of my hair then put it in a sleek bun.
