"MJ should've brought you around a long time ago. I like thesee" done girl said as she finished recording a video of her hair while she sat down waiting for her ride as I started doing another girl's braids
MJ let me open up the shop this morning and she was gonna come in later but I wasn't gonna complain because I was enjoying this getting to know new people
"See I like y'all" I told the girl while laughing, starting the second row of small knotless braids.
"I like you too. You seem like a cool ass girl"
"I am but I just need some friends I guess"
"I'm surprised you'on hang around ya cousin lil friend group"
I shrugged "I been around then a few good times and I just can't fuck with em like that. Especially that one girl"
"Who? Lemme guess.. karma?"
"How you know?" I asked and the girl shook her head
"It's always that girl when that lil group is brought up. Ion know why MJ still cool with her after all these years"
"Why you say that?"
"Cause MJ changed since they became cool. I mean, yeah she still cool with everybody and shit but not as cool as she used to be. Only to please karma's corny ass. And it's been like that every since she moved out here" the girl in the chair answered while the other one waiting agreed
"I thought karma was from around here"
"Hell no that bitch ain from my hood. Her ass came straight from the suburbs tryina be something she aint"
"Not the suburbs" I laughed and the one in the chair nodded
"Yes the suburbs"
"I could tell lowkey cause of that damn gated community they stay in now"
"What gated community"
"Ion ever pay attention to the name but it's not too far from the shop. Just a couple of minutes down the road" I answered
"Dishaun said the only reason she had to move out here was because her daddy and momma kicked her out so she had to move with her sister" the one sitting down said as she checked her phone before standing up "that's my ride"
"Hold up. So her and that Lani girl not real sisters or what?" I asked confused. The girl stopped as she stood in the door getting ready to walk out
"They are. They got the same momma though. Some bout they momma ain wanted karma so she gave her up to her daddy and the daddy barely wanted her which is why he kicked her out when she graduated"
"Damn" I laughed as the girl left leaving me and my current client "girl what is your name so I won't have to keep callin you girl?"
"Shanelle" she answered "but she wasn't lyin cause I heard the exact same thing too"
"So nobody likes karma around here?"
"Nahh fuck that bitch" shanelle answered as she fixed the charm bracelet she wore "she brought her happy ass to the neighborhood and started so much shit. Unnecessary shit"
"Well ion care for her. And she better chill out before I fuck her nigga"
"Benji?" Shanelle asked with a laugh "girl do it. He probably would be down to fuck anyways cause I know he tired of her ass. She think she winning cause she trapped Benji with them dirty ass kids. Benji ain really wanted to settle down with her ass"
