"What school?"

"Hillcrest. Not that far from here, just one bus and a little walking."

"Oh my god no." I said to myself slumping in my seat

He looked at me like I was crazy and I rolled my eyes. He doesn't understand.

"I need to go school shopping." I looked at him getting up from my seat

He also got up with an annoyed look on his face "You have enough clothes already Trinity. We can't afford buying your type of clothes for school." I watched him as he walked away towards the kitchen

I of course followed.

He went to go open the fridge knowing it's empty but he still checks it like food magically will appear.
[Does anyone do that!?]

I stood right behind him frightening him when he turned around

"Damn Trinity." He said kissing his teeth

My father is pretty young, he's 41 and got my mother pregnant when he was 22. He's a good looking man. Brown skin, medium brown eyes, tall, and suitable facial hair, with a slight tape up haircut.

"Aight, you're obviously bored, so why don't you go food shopping? There's a FoodWorld less than two blocks away." He gave me some cash. "There's no food in this damn house." He mumbled picking up an apple from the kitchen table and walking out

"Why can't I take your car!?" I called after him

"I'm working in a few." He answered "Dress warm!"

I threw a fit in the middle of the kitchen, punching and kicking the air.
After a few minutes I cleared my throat, smoothed out my shirt, and headed upstairs to my room.

I slipped on my brown ugg boots and skipped down the steps. My father Mac was gone and so was he. I sighed and grabbed my wallet, the money my father left and my keys heading out and closing the door behind me. Before I walked down the porch steps I took my phone out

"Siri, where is FoodWorld supermarket?" I waited for a second looking around

"I found two matching places in the area."

I saw the one daddy was talking about so I started walking down the block in the middle of the street. Halfway down the block I saw the guys sitting on the steps.

It wasn't that cold though, I have on a parka.

"Gabrielle!" Was what I heard before I even passed the house.

I rolled my eyes and stopped in the middle of the street glaring at Michael.
They all started laughing and walked over to me. Including Chris slowly trailing behind. I looked directly at him but he hasn't looked in my direction, too busy staring down at his phone.

"Where you going?" Chyna asked

She's so adorable. She smiled at me.

"FoodWorld." I said simply

"We'll come with you."

I looked at Michael like he had three heads. So did Kae and Chris "What?" I asked

"Yeah we could help you with your bags. You don't even got a car." Chyna chimed in

"I truly appreciate-"

"Nah, nah, nah." Michael said interrupting me mid rejecting their offer politely "We ain't got nothing to do anyway."

"Yall with it?" Chyna asked the other two wrapping her arm around Michael's torso
