​New Orleans, Louisiana 

Chanel's POV

"Grandma! Grandma!" I repeated over and over making a beat on her front door.

Where is this woman? I just spoke to her a half an hour ago. 

I kept making beats on her door.

"Ow!" I said when I felt a hit to my head. "The fuck?!"

"What did you just say?" I heard and felt another hit.

I looked and it was my grandma.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. You scared me." I said backing away from her.

Where did she come from?

"Why you beating on my door like you don't have no home training?"

"I'm sorry, I was trying to get you to hear me." I said.

She finally opened the door and we walked on.
 

"Next time you do that I'm really gonna knock the hell out of you." She said.

Maybe I should've went to Canada.

"Grandma, I'm sorry. I won't do it again." I said.

She sighed.

I left and went to put my bag in the guest room and then I came back. I went back to the kitchen and sat down.

She turned around and looked at me and hugged me. She smothered my face in kisses too. See, this was supposed to be the original greeting.

"Grandma's baby." She said. "How was your show last night."

"Great, Cal and I sang one of mommy's song." I said.

"Which one?"

"No Angel." I said.

She smiled.

"I love when you sing, why don't you just do that?" She asked.

I laughed.

"I love to rap." I said. "I like both but I love rapping."

She sighed.

"Alright, when is Solange and whoever suppose to come over and do your hair?"

"Now actually, they late." I said.

As soon as I said that I heard the door open.

"Chanel!" I heard.

I turned around and it was Jeulz. I smiled wide and got up. 

"Hey!" I said hugging him. "Dang man, you getting tall."

"I know." He said smiling.

I looked up and saw my auntie and the girl that was gonna do my hair. Her name Chelsea, she did my moms braids.

"Hey midget." My aunt said as we hugged.

"Hey." I said.

She ran her hair through my hair.

"You ready to get this done?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said. "Hey Chelsea."

"Hey." She said setting the bag of hair on the table. "Hi, Ms. Tina."

"How you doing baby." 

"So let's get this done. You washed your hair?"

"Yeah, this morning." I said.

"All right, let's go."

I sat for hours while I got my hair braided. We talked and ate mostly. Alan came to get Jeulz cause he had soccer practice.
