"You wild" I said laughing at my mom as I tied up the trash bag.
"Can you put a bag in there for me" I said walking out the front door towards the big garbage can
"Guess I'll check the mail" I said to myself
I checked the mail and went through it to make sure ms. Jamie didn't have any mail but she did so I headed over to her house..she live next door.
"She got way to many cars in her driveway" I said to myself as I pulled down my tube top wishing I didn't have on biker shorts.
I knocked on the door anxious on who was gonna open it and before I knew it a dark skin with gold grills opened the door and he jus nodded.
" Hey is Ms.Jamie home" I asked looking at his facial features and he look a lot like her.
"Yeah why" he said lookin at me funny
" cause I got mail fa ha nigga" I said mugging him cause I don't like the way he looked at me
" I'll get it to her" he said trynna take the mail from me and I snatched it outta his hand and it went everywhere. I looked at him and scrunched up my face as I flicked him off and started to pick up the mail. I could feel him watching my every move. After a few seconds he got down there and helped me. Then someone opened the front door which made me jump and stumble a little as the dark skin grabbed me so I wouldn't fall. I looked at him then looked at whoever opened the door.
"Hey Ms. Jamie I came to bring you the mail" I said standing up as I helped ole dude up
" It was kinda hard cause of yo lil bodyguard" I said looking at dude
" Oh" she said smacking her lips " Dont mind him that's just Brandon's big brother Jamell" she said as I handed her the mail that was for her.
" Here and it's melly" he said giving me the rest of the mail
" I'm Milani" I said turning around to wave bye to Ms.Jamie and he kinda brushed up against me to get towards the front door.
"See y'all later" I said walking back over to my lawn. When I got to my porch I looked over to see if they had went in the house and I seen melly smiling at me which made me smile.

Next day
"Ma I'm headed to the mall" i said pulling down my dress a bit and fixing my braids
"Ok..be safe" she said as I stepped out the door and walked to my car. I got in put on my seat belt and put on It takes time by Trippie and backed out of the drive way heading to the mall.
****
Right now I'm just walking around I just came here cause ain't shit to do and ion really talk to nobody cause I'm homeschooled antisocial and the only child.
I stopped by Annie's to get some pretzels earlier and I'm really bouta stop at this Starbucks and get sum to drink.
"I guess I'll go in foot locker" I said
I didn't really come here to look for anything I just came to come.
I turned into foot locker as the girl at the desk greeted me... I just smiled at her.
I made my way to the hats. Then to the shirts. I picked out two big ass shirts that caught my eye and headed to the counter to buy them. A loud ass group of boys came in.
"Girl they are so loud" the girl checking me out whispered to me as I laughed and nodded in agreement noticing she was pregnant.
"How many months are you" I said smiling and pointing to her belly
"2 " she said smiling
" oh well girl I know this good ass plug that sells baby shit" I said getting out my phone
" oh well what's your number cause you might not be here when I get off" she said as I swiped my card.
"You can just put yours in my phone and I'll text you when I get home and we'll talk about it then" I said smiling
" that sounds good"
"Oh and I'm milani by the way" I said grabbing the bag
"Lexi" she said rubbing her belly and waving at me. I waved back and turned around forgetting about this group of boys.
As I was walking by I heard a familiar voice say something which made me turn around and when I tell y'all all of them were looking at me. I seen melly and smiled at him as I turned around and continued walking.
Once again I find myself walking around but this time I wondered off to the food court. I got some dip n dots cause I really ain't hungry right now.
As I was finishing up my dip n dots I seen the boys and melly enter the food court. Only one of them noticed me and he just had to let the other boys know I was there. Melly looked at me smiling. I smiled as i waved him over. As he approached me I dropped my smile.
" Where the fuck is my friend at and why is y'all creep ass niggas following me" I said muggin him
" who's yo fren and ain't nobody followin you" he said giving me back the same energy I gave him
" my friend is Brandon and sit down them niggas ain't goin no where" I said laughing
" yo friend at home" he said looking at me as I ate my dip n dots
" well I called you over here cause I don't want the rest of these and I don't wanna throw them away cause that's a waste of my money" I said
" ion want them ion kno where you mouth been" he said making me scrunch up my face
"First off nigga you can get a whole nother spoon and second my mouth is clean" I said rolling my eyes
" and what if yo mouth ain't klean" he said
" imma virgin nigga...my mouth is clean" I said getting up to throw the dip n dots away
" I'll take em shawty" he said coming over towards me bringing me my stuff from footlocker cause I sholl was bout to forget that shit
" so you a virgin" he said as i just looked at him in disgust
" goodbye" I said handing him the dip n dots. As I walked off he smacked my butt. I turned around and smiled at him.
As his homies was walking towards him i waved at them and said " hey y'all"
I made my way towards the doors that I had came in through
****
"Ma I'm back" I said walking up stairs to my moms room
"I only got two things" I said showing her what I got
"Brandon came by lookin for you he wanted to know if you wanted to come over there and play the game" she said lookin at my stuff then back at the tv
"Oh well I'll be back later" I said puttin the stuff in the bag and throwing it in my room and on my bed. Then I changed into some shorts and a crop top and threw on some slides then headed over to Brandon's house.
I knocked on the door as I heard him say who is it
" YOUR BEST FRIEND" I yelled back as the door swung open
" Hurry I'm in a game" he said running back upstairs to his room
I closed the door and locked it. I turned off the tv downstairs cause no one was watching it and it sounded like Ms. Jamie wasn't here. I headed upstairs and into Brandon's room.
"Whatchu playin" i asked
"Fortnite" he said fast af
I just sat on his bed and got on my phone. When Brandon asks me to play video games with him it usually means he's home alone and doesn't want to be by his self.
We sat like this for about an hour until we got hungry and went into the kitchen he turned the tv on while I made us some sandwiches. Then I decided to text Lexi.
The door started to open as melly walked through it with some girl with him.
"Who's that" Brandon said in disgust
"Brandon I'm bouta go in your room ok... call me if you need anything" I said grabbing a water and walking up to melly saying hey to him and waving at ole girl.
I sat my water down and went to the bathroom. When I came out and went back to Brandon's room he was in there.
"Oh your phone had started ringing" he said lookin at me
I walked over to my phone picked it up and called Lexi back cause she was who had called me.
" hello my bad I was in the bathroom" I said as she picked up
"It's ok" she said back
" do you have to work tomorrow" I asked
"No"
"Well if you want we can meet somewhere tomorrow cause I know you prolly tired"
"I can come to your house or you can come to minez I'm not tryna go out in public cause I took sick leave for tomorrow and don't need none of my coworkers seeing me out and about" she said laughing
"Ok that's fine just let me know when"
"Alright well I'm finna hop in the tub talk to you later" she said
" alright" I said hangin up
"Hey lani...can you get me a water" Brandon said lookin at me
" sure" I said getting up plugging up my phone and goin downstairs
I walked over to the fridge. I grabbed a water and a yogurt. I walked over to the drawer and got me a spoon.
"Hey" ole girl said which made me turn around
" Wassgud" I said opening my yogurt
"I'm Melissa" she said smiling
" And I'm not lookin for friends" I said lookin her in her eye then eatin a spoon full of my yogurt
"What I do to you" she said
"Ion like yo vibe" I said studying her facial expressions
"I haven't seen you around" she said movin closer
"Back up" I said pointing my spoon towards her
"Ion do dat friendly shit" I said washing my spoon and putting it up.
"Look I seen the way you looked at jamell he's mine ok" she said getting defensive. Cute.
"Look Mirissa -"
"It's Melissa"
" Bitch I don't give two fucks don't cut me off when I'm talking"
"We-"
" I'm not done" I said cutting her off
" If I wanted Jamell I could have him sweetheart you not all that don't test yo luck" I said grabbing Brandon's water and heading back up the steps.
" Here B" I said tossing the water to him
" I'll be right back" I said closin his door
I ran into mellys room and closed his door locking it then running over to his bed hoping on top of him
"If you hear screaming it's me dragging ole girl you brought here and yes i know it's your house but she down there feelin herself" I said movin his phone out his face
"Did you hear me" I said moving my hips
"Aye bruh move I heard you" he said pushin me off of him
"Alright" I said gettin up and walking towards the door.
As I was about to unlock it ole girl started banging on the door
"Jamell why is the door locked" she yelled
I looked over to him with a smile on my face.
"Take off your clothes and wrap up in that towel" I whispered to him taking off my shirt and my pants he just looked at me funny
"NIGGA HURRY" I said running over to the towel and tossing it to him as he started takin off his clothes I went over the mirror and put my braids in a messy bun.
"Who's water?" I said grabbing it and takin off the top as she started banging on the door again.
I put some on me then ran over and put some on melly.
"I'm gonna break this door" she said still banging
" what are you doing" melly said
I ran over to the door and unlocked it then ran back over to melly
"Kiss me" I said kissing him as ole girl walked in
"Yo what the fuck!!" She said looking at us I looked at her then started kissing melly down his chest as ole girl pushed me off him.
"Yo why you pushin her like dat" melly said helping me up.
I walked up to her. "So what you tryna do" I said lookin her dead in her eyes
She punched me in my shit. I took it.
I rushed her making sure to punch her in her stomach and mouth. I grabbed a hand full of her hair wrapping it around my hand and bashing her face in.
"Imma drop her off outside" I said to melly as I started dragging her down the hall towards the stairs hoping Brandon wouldn't come out his room cause ion have nothin but a bra and panties on.
She started screaming so I whacked her in her face which of course didn't stop it and shortly melly came after us.
" drag that hoe" he said hyping me up
I opened the front door and pushed her out letting her go
" now you either can bounce or get that ass beat again" I said standing by the door
" bounce bitch" melly said which made me laugh as he started looking over my shoulder
She got up and looked at melly shakin her head
" I thought you were the one" she shouted
" you thought wrong dis my new bih right here and plus I just wanted you foe sex you know how we do" he said goin back upstairs
" Told you sis I could have yo nigga in 2.3" I whispered closing the door locking it then goin upstairs to mellys room to get my clothes.
"Sooo..." I said awkwardly
"What" he said
"I'm yo new boo?" I asked
"It's up to you" he said putting on his shirt as I put on my clothes
"I say yea but let's take it real slow" I said fixing my hair as he walked up behind me.
"Ok" he said hugging me from behind
"You minez" I said pointing to him
"And you minez" he said kissing my cheek
"Ok I'm goin back in there with Brandon" I said pushing him away from me
"Stay in here with me" melly said grabbing my arm
"Since both of y'all want me over here imma stay the night I know ms.jamie won't mind" I said opening his room door and walking downstairs to go home and grab some clothes.
"Why you gotta walk like that" he said following me.
"Like what" I said laughing as I opened my front door seeing my mom on the couch
"You can come in but beware she bites" I said referring to my mom cause lord knows sometimes she has no filter.
"Hey ma can melly sit down here real quick while I go get some clothes" i asked as she gave me a look and I know exactly what she was talking bout.
I shook my head no
"Yeah where you bouta go" she said lookin at him but talkin to me
" well Brandon wanted me to spend the night and melly walked me over here cause it's dark" i said heading up the stairs
I threw everything I felt like I was gonna need into my PINK duffel bag and made my way back downstairs
"Alright I'll see you tomorrow ma come on melly" I said opening the front door
"Love you ma" I said closing the door
As we made our way back over to they house a black car pulled up in they drive way as melly put his arm around me.
When we got over there I went into the house and into Brandon's room
" I'm stayin the night" I said to him
He turned around and looked at me smiling.
I sat my bag down by the wall then went over to my phone.
I went to Lexi's contact and FaceTimed her
"Hello" she said answering
"Hey girl what you doin" I said setting the camera up against a pillow on Brandon's bed
"This mask"she said putting some in her hand
"I want one" I said trynna think of my last time having one
"I'll bring you one tomorrow I got a lot of them"
"Thank you"
" Brandon do you want something from downstairs" I said grabbing my phone and getting up
"Jus some to snack on" he said turning off the game and goin to Netflix
"Ok" I said walking out his room
"That's my best friend" I said smilin into the camera
"He sound like he about nine" she said washing her hands
" Mmm that sounds close" I said reaching the bottom of the stairs as all eyes fell on me
I just waved and walked into the kitchen
