⚠️School lockdown warning, if you have gone through a real one I don't suggest reading this⚠️

     Ugh why me lord? I got up and walked to my brothers room. I stood over him and lightly said, "Gray we gotta get up for school!". Gray turned around and said, "why?". I sighed and said, "because it's picture day, duh". Gray slowly got up and walked into his separate bathroom. 

     I walked out of his room and started to get ready for school. Today was going to be a long day. I put on my clothes and looked in the mirror. I looked swaggy, I walked into my brothers room and he asked, "how do I look?". I smiled and said, "you look like a skunk". 

     Gray furrowed his brows and said, "you look like a mole rat!". We sat there and stared at each other, we both started laughing and I said, "that was a good one". My mom called from downstairs, "Ayo! food's ready!". Gray looked at me and started running, I looked at his sad attempt at trying to win a race. I teleported downstairs into the kitchen and sat down at the island. 

     I looked up and saw Gray looking for me breathing dramatically with a ferocious look on his face. He looked at me and shook his head. I laughed and Carmen walked into the kitchen, he sat on the counter and said, "What's up kids, is today picture day?". I nodded and Farrah pulled out the plates, she placed them infront of us and dusted her hands. She smiled satisfied and walked away. 

     I looked at Gray and said, "We should get matching tattoos". Carmen looked up and said, "Knowing your mom, she might let you". My mom walked in and said, "Mom might let you do what?". I sighed and said, "Me and gray should get matching tattoo's". My mom squinted her eyes and said, "When, right now? You're sixteen". 

     I lowered my head and my mom continued, "If you want though, your body but, I'd rather you do it when you are a certified adult. But, as long as I can get a tattoo too!". Gray slapped his forehead and said, "Ya'll some bad kids". I laughed and said, "Nonono, dad is the one with the sleeve tattoo's". My mom smiled and said, "Nova smacked the mess out of him when she saw it for the first time". 

     I laughed, suddenly we heard the door open and in came Rylie. She looked around and said, "What's up auntie! where all the food at?". My mom pointed at the stove and said, "Where your mom at?". Rylie said, "At work, my dad is coming in though". James walked in and said, "Hey, did Lili call you?". 

     Uncle James looked at my mom when he said that. My mom said, "No why?". My dad came in and adjusted his watch, he kissed my mom on the cheek and said, "Isn't it picture day today?". I sighed and said, "Why does everyone keep asking that, does my outfit look bad or something?". Farrah walked in and observed my out fit and said, "No it looks fine but, even if it didn't you know we'd still lie to you because we don't want to hurt your feelings, right?". 

     Gray laughed, James face went tough and he looked directly at Rylie and said, "Here, I know what you're thinking. Dad I don't need this but, you look especially beautiful today and I just don't want any boys around you! Here take it, don't deny it". I looked at them, I'm not sure if I should be gagging or if I should find this endearing or, maybe I should be scared because... he's giving her pepper spray. Gray laughed and said, "We gotta go now, the bus is about to come". My mom sighed and said, "Uh uh I'm driving you today, I have work in that area. I'll be really busy so, I probably won't be able to get to my phone".
