Chapter 3

It was decided before I came that they'd go from oldest to youngest, meaning that I'll be meeting Uzi first. He walks up to me and he looks a little tired. My opinion on Uzi is pretty good. He's one of my favorite artists, ya know minus his little 'sus' moments but we wont get into it like that. He's wearing some pretty basic clothes today, which is very contrasting from the outfits he usually wear. It's probably cause it's so early in the day, cause otherwise I'm confused. He's wearing a LED ZEPPELIN vintage t-shirt and some black sweatpants to match.

"Uh, I don't really know what to say?"

"ME neither. Uhh, I'd think it'd just be easier if I just introduced myself outloud to everyone and then people go around and everything because this person-on-person thing isn't gonna work."

"Yeah, I can agree to that cause this awkward. I'm gonna go sit down."

He walked off and goes sits on the sofa and I adjust myself on the stool.

"Alright, my name is Amaris. I just turned 17 recently and uhh yeah. I'm obviously this idiots' younger sister, "I say as I point to Jahseh, "I know about all of you, wait that sounded weird, I know who you guys all are for the most part. I've seen interviews and things like that and you all seem pretty decent for the most part, I hope we can all get along cause ya know, I'm kinda living here now. I guess you guys can just start asking questions?"

Laroi raises his hand first.'

"I have a question."

"Shoot."

"You said you're 17, right?"

"Yeah."

"When's your birthday?"

"November 17th."

"Oh so I'm older than you by like a few months. Cool," he says smiling lightly at that.

I blush a little as he smiled at me. I have the biggest crush on this guy and he hardly knows me. He used to not know I even really existed til now. Now that I'm here could I possibly...No, that's dumb to think. Like he'd ever get with me or even find me interesting enough to talk to. I sigh to myself in disappointment and look back up at everyone as I noticed I had started looking down at my hands. As I do I catch eye contact with Jahseh and I can feel him reading me. He knows. He looks at me seriously then back at Laroi who is talking to 24k Goldn right now, and then back at me. Yeah he definitely knows now, damn. I look away from him and start answering more questions from everyone

"Do you watch anime?"

"Yeah, I do. I'm not some og with it all but I definitely watch anime."

"What's your favorite colour?"

"Yellow or orange."

"Which brother is your favorite?"

"Jahseh obviously, BUT, if Stokes was my actually brother I meannn.." I jokingly say.

"Why'd you come here?"

"Our parents are moving to Japan for work and they didn't want me by myself."

"Why is that?"

'I uhh...I don't know."

"You're old enough to get your own place, aren't you? You could've been fine."

"I've had my own place before...''

"Then how come you don't have one now?"

My brother steps in.

"Alright, that's enough Skies."

"I was just trying to get to know her like everyone else."

"You knew what you were doing."

"Man whatever, I'm gone."

As soon as he says that he's gone. I look back down at my hands. What did I do that made him so upset? I didn't mean any harm by coming here. I start messing around with my fingers to try and keep myself from crying. Everyone else starts apologizing in his place.

"I told you guys I shouldn't have come here."

"Come on, you know that wasn't gonna be possible."

"And why not, huh Jah? Cause I'm unstable?"

"Amaris this isn't the time for this."

"I bet it isn't."

"Now don't say it like that."

"You just don't want to show them how I really am do you? Huh?"

"Amaris! Stop actin a fool right now! You just got here you think this is the time?"

"Why'd he come at me sideways then? What'd I do?"

"You don't need to be acting like this. You're acting like how you used to-!"

We both stop wide eyed at what he said. So that's how you REALLY feel, huh? I get up and walk away to my new room leaving the living room to its ruckus that slowly starts up the farther I get from it. I get to the door and go in. I grab the matching hoodie to these sweats and drop on my bed and start crying. Why'd he have to mention that? What is their issue? I literally just got here and there's already someone who doesn't like me? After maybe 5 minutes, midst of my crying session, I hear light knocking on my door. I pick up my teddy bear Alfredo as comfort and slowly walk towards my door. I open it, getting ready to cuss out who I thought was maybe Jah when it was really...Laroi?
