Finding my Happiness

Block Party (Pt. 2)

For a moment I forgot why I loved coming every year. The music is bumping the good ass hits, the smell of hamburgers and hotdogs being grilled with the local food trucks adding their scent to the air, and just the community actually getting along and coming together it's amazing.

Then I just bring myself right back down stressing about the Michael's and meeting face to face with Reggie.

Fuck me.

" Aye girl what's wrong?" Cassandra says snapping me out of my thoughts.

I come back to reality remembering that the ugly ass twins are with us and I haven't even eaten my chicken wings yet.

And ranch wings are my favorite.

"Oh nothing I just don't feel good that's all." I say shrugging it off and pushing my wings across the table.

" Here try some of my drink I have some henny in it. Henny always settles my stomach." Tish says handing me her drink but I just think about all the diseases she probably got on her lips and it make my stomach churn.

" Ugh no thanks. But thank you tho." I say and she takes the drink back and takes a sip.

" So Jazz what you been up too lately? Anything new?" Carmen says smacking on her wings. The sauce just drips down from her overly long nails and it just makes me wanna gag.

Gross.

" Uh no not really. Just working at the store with Cassandra and going back home. Haven't really been going out." I say taking a sip of my soda.

" Trust me I've been trying to get her out here to have some fun but you know she's stubborn." Cassandra says.

"Girl don't you have your grandmas house now?! Why haven't you thrown a party yet?" Carmen asks.

" Because maybe my grandmother died not to long ago and I don't want hoodlums destroying the last thing I have of her? I don't know maybe that's why Carmen." I say with an attitude.

Cassandra grips my thigh for me to calm down but I can't. I'm still not over it and I don't think I will be.

" Uh eww girl! My bad just thought you could have some fun. Just trying to help you out." Carmen says sucking on the chicken wing bone.

This is why I never liked them. They trifling as fuck!

All I'm saying is that Cassandra better hook me up with some weed too because this is a team effort to kiss ass to the twins.

" Trust me I don't need help. But thanks for the concern." Cassandra could tell I'm being salty so she changes the subject.

" So how long have we known each other? Ever since what? Middle school?" Cass questions.

" Bitch oh my god! Yes! We though we was hot shit!" Tish says laughing with Carmen.

" It was some good times. I remember Carmen kissed Jayden under the bleachers during gym class." Cassandra says taking a sip of her drink.

" Oh my god don't bring that shit up! That nigga gave me herpes!" Carmen says in disgust ass Cassandra and Tish laugh.

" Shit he probably gave you something else too." Tish says eyeing her up and down.

" Bitch shut up! What about Jazzy girl over here. She swore up and down Michael Jackson was her man." Carmen says as Tish laughs with her.

Cassandra lightly chuckles but knows that it's a sensitive subject for me.

" Oh yeah! You still think he's your man girl even tho he's dead?" Tish says.

My blood begins to boil and my sight become red.
