I walk into my empty house with the intentions on answering the phone first before anyone can get to it, at least that's what I thought.
"What the fuck!" I shout being startled by Jamsine's presence. She lean on the wall with the house phone to her ear speaking to God Knows who. I listen intently on the conversation she was having and it clicked that she was talking to my principal. "Pass the phone" I mouthed to her but she just turn around still chatting away.
"Is that so?" She asks in the phone, she chuckle before humming to whatever Williams is saying "She doesn't show that behavior at home" She smirks which made me want to rip my hair out.
Jasmine is cool and all but I still didn't know if she was a snitch. What if she goes running her mouth off to my pops? That will be my ass.
"Skipping school?" She gasp pretending to be shock, "She's such a naughty girl" She bit her lip watching me. Lord have mercy on me!
"I will- yea- okay, Mr Williams thanks for informing me" She says before finally hanging up the phone.
I let out a breath of relief, "Where is my dad?" I ask knowing he will be home at these times.
She walk towards me with a cigarette place in her mouth, I scrunch my face in disgust, a cool point deducted since she Smoke's cigarettes.
"What you should be doing is thanking me" She says, letting the intoxicating smoke out into the air.
I reach for the cigarette between her lips and ash it out "Now you should be thanking me" I say. "Why are you here?" I ask confuse.
"Our father's came up with the brilliant idea that we should be living together" She smiles weakly. "I can do with that cigarette right about now" She pouts watching the cancer stick float in the glass of water on the table.
I didn't even bother to make a fuss, it was useless, nothing I say will change my father's mind.
"Welcome to the Maraj's casa" I say lowly.
She scoff pushing my shoulder back playfully "That doesn't makes me feel welcome" She chuckles.
"I thought you have a show in Denmark?" I ask remembering this morning's conversation.
She sighed "Cancelled" I can tell she was disappointed that her show got cancelled.
"I guess both our plans got cancelled then, huh?" I chuckle referring to my suspension to lighten the mood.
She shook her head with a light chuckle "Did you really try to bribe him with a coupon nose trimming?" She tried holding back her laugh.
I shrug "That man needed that shit, his loss for not taking up on the offer" I say.
"Lucky for you, your dad is in his office" She says answering the question that I've been asking since I stepped foot into the house.
"You won't snitch, right?" I ask raising an eyebrow watching her.
She seem offended "I'm from Compton, I don't get down like that" She says trying to sound like a gangster but instead sounding like a white woman who gets invited to the barbecues.
I chuckle shaking my head "You not hip, girl" I tease playing with her.
"Would you like going out for a drink with me?" She asks.
I really needed a drink right now but I couldn't. I wanted to brush up on my calculus before meeting with Beyoncé, I low-key wanted to impress her.
