"Why yo connection so shitty?" I asked KD, as I looked at my phone.
"Bi- Who conn- wyd?" His phone started breaking up.
I bust out laughing. "Ian hear shit you just said." I told him, putting my face in the camera. "You got that Minecraft connection." I said.
"Guh I- she said I got Minecraft-
The line went dead and I heard beeps.
I shook my head and chuckled.
I looked at Mitchell, seeing him still sleep.
My phone began to ring, and I picked it up, seeing Kentrell.
"Oh, I thought you was KD." I said dryly.
"Mmcht guh." He said.
"Is that my bae!?" I heard Ben yell in the background before the phone was snatched. "Hey baby." Ben said, while looking at me.
"Nigga she 14." Kentrell mugged him.
"Mmcht what Aaliyah said?" Ben asked himself. "Age ain't nun but a numba'." He sung.
"R Kelly thought the same thing too, Now he in jail." KD yelled from somewhere inna house.
I started laughing. "Y'all are too much." I told them.
"Nah for real though, tryna link today?" Ben asked.
"Yeah sure." I shrugged.
"You can bring yo luh friends too, if you want." Kentrell said and I nodded. "Make sure you dress comfortable, we going to zip city." He told me.
I squeal. "You for real?" I asked him, he nodded. "Bet it up."
"Aight i'a pick you up, send me yo location." He said.
I nodded, hanging up.
I smacked Mitchell's back, making him fall off my bed.
"Get up and go shower." I told him.
I went to my closet and grabbed some nike joggers and a plain white T.
I sometimes dress like a boy, don't judge me.
I threw the clothes at him and sat back on the bed.
I was already dressed, I was just waiting on Mitchell hard headed ass.
"Mmcht, fuck you got an attitude for?" He asked while stretching.
I ignored him.
He mugged me and went to my bathroom and got in the shower.
I sent Kentrell my location, not even thinking about what they would say when they found out I'm living in this fucking place.
I left my room, going downstairs, seeing Ms. Holmes.
"Where were you last night?" She asked.
"GoodMorning to you too." I mugged.
"Answer me." She said.
"Here." I said.
Duh
"Alana stop lying." She told me, then pulled out her phone and showed me pictures of her car. "I had just got my car washed, now it's dirty Alana!" She said.
"Okay?" I asked her.
"You took my car." She said.
"No I didn't, How you know it wasn't Sabrina, or Will stupid ass." I asked.
"Will is still in the hospital! And your the only one who know how to drive!" She semi yelled.
"Don't yell at me!" I yelled at her with my face scrunched up.
I rolled my eyes, walking away from her, as she yelled at me.
I odda' beat det bitch ass.
I went into my room, seeing Mitchell ready.
I shut my door and locked it.
"We going out da' window." I told him.
"Why? I wanna meet cho parents." He said.
"Mmcht, Ian seen my parents since I was a baby, ion remember nobody but my daddy. His face a blur but I know that nigga loved me too death, and took me everywhere." I told him.
He looked at me. "What chu mean?"
I sighed, getting irritated. "I'm basically an orphan, or whatever." I told him, while lifting my window up. "An the worker hea' buggin', cause she found out I took her car to get yo ass from another party, you shouldn't even been at." I snapped.
I climbed out the window, dropping my book bag, with my bear inside on the ground. I jumped down, and watched Mitchell jump down also.
I grabbed my book bag, and started walking away from The place.
I honestly don't know what to call it, it's not home, definitely not that.
I guess ima just call it, Group home?
I seen Kentrell car pull up, and I got in the back with KD, Ben, and boom.
"Hiiiii!" Ben said.
"Wassup." I hugged KD first.
"As should." KD smiled at me.
I mugged him, and smacked my lips.
"Boy."
"So who's this?" Boom asked.
"Oh, this my best friend Mitchell." I said. "But call him Ryan, only I can call him Mitchell." I told them.
"Wassup." Everybody said to him.
Then Kentrell turned on some music.
I felt eyes on me, which made me look over and seen Mitchell looking at me.
"What?" I asked him.
"We not finna move past what you just said, like you'an just say it." He spoke up.
"Mmcht that conversation dead. Move on." I rolled my eyes.
He grabbed my neck, pulling me to him.
"Why you always got an attitude?" He asked, lowly to where only me and him could hear it.
"Ion always got a attitude, you just pissed me off." I mugged him, tryna move his hand away from my neck.
"Whatever." He let go. "And we talking bout this no parents shit. You should've been told me that. On god I would've been helped you, and got you up outta dere." He said.
I sighed, looking down. "Yeah, I know." I mumbled.
"Y'all good?" 3three asked us.
We nodded.
"I'm not good." KD said while looking at me. "How come you introducing us to all these people, but we still don't know yo name yet?" He asked.
"Right, I been calling you bae, or best bitch." Ben added as we pulled up to Zip city, and got out the car.
"Whats yo name shorty, we clearly gone be around you for awhile." Kentrell said, as we started walking to the entrance.
"Kind." I said.
Everybody stopped walking, making me stop walking and look at them.
They all looked at eachother, then back at me.
"What's yo last name?" Baby joe asked.
"Meshell." I told them.
"Kind Meshell?" Kentrell, asked me.
I nodded, confusingly.
They all looked at eachother again, then shook their head.
"Nawl." Everybody said in sync.
"Couldn't be, we went to ha' funeral." Ben said.
"But she looked fake." Kentrell said, then looked at me, then looked at them.
I'm confused ..
"And the girl in the casket was Kentrell color, and looked like she was bout 7." 3three said.
"So What y'all tryna say .."
"Nun, y'all right. She dead." Kentrell snapped, before walking inside the building.
Everybody looked at me, as I looked at them.
"Huh?"
