Zora POV

A lot has changed in a couple weeks. My grandfather finally retired and Carlton's dating Michelle now and I'm happy for him. He deserves someone who cares about him. I been spending a lot more time with Will because I know Michelle's uncomfortable with me being so close with him

I walked into the living room when I saw Carlton and his Glee Club. Carlton walked up to me

"Hey Zora listen to this" Carlton told me as I went sit down on the couch

Carlton blew his pitch pipe as They all began snapping out of sync

She's a brick ♪

House ♪ they all sang making the shapes of a brick and a house

♪ She's mighty mighty ♪
♪ Just letting it all
hang out ♪ they continued singing as they held there arms out

♪ She's a brick ♪
♪ House ♪ They sang as I tried to hold in my smile when Will and Jazz walked in

♪ The lady's stacked
and that's a fact ♪
♪ And there isn't anything
wrong with that ♪ they finished as they waved their finger

Jazz and Will started laughing as Carlton looked over to them

"Let's take five, guys." Carlton told them as we walked over to Will and Jazz

"Will, was that really necessary?" Carlton asked

"Oh, I'm sorry, Carlton. You-you thought
I was laughin' at you?" Will asked

"That's what it sounded like." Carlton told him

"Oh, no, no, no, no, see, when I laugh at you it's more like this." Will said as he began laughing again

"Just for future reference." Will said

"Man, y'all butchered that song." Jazz said as I nodded

"That was the whitest version of Brick House I ever heard" I told him

"Hey, C, I'm tellin' you, if the Commodores
heard you singin', they'd tie you down to the tracks and run you over with the Soul Train." Will told him

"You know, I can understand why you're threatened. After all, you two possess absolutely no musical ability. Face it, you're so jealous, you're green." Carlton told Will and Jazz

"Alright, but just out of curiosity, Carlton
what color are you?" Will asked as he and Jazz left

"Stop" I told them. I love Carlton just the way he is. I balance him out he balances me out its very mutual

"Oh, here we go again. Look, just because I grew up in the best neighborhoods and pronounce the I-N-G's at the end of my words
doesn't make me any less black than you." Carlton told him

"No. It's that tie that does it." Jazz told him as they laughed at him again

"Look, face it, C, I'm tellin' you if you went down to Jazz's neighborhood lookin' the way you look and talkin' the way you talk
you wouldn't come home walkin' the way you walk." Will told him

"And what neighborhood is that?" Carlton asked

"I-in Compton." Will told him

"And if you can make it there you'll make it anywhere." Jazz said as I nodded

"They saw the same thing about Harlem" I told them as I sat down on the couch

"I'd do just fine and dandy in Compton
thank you very much." Carlton told them
