"Then she had the audacity to say, I needed to apologize. ME, that bitc-"

" Aye, Watch Ya mouth Samaria." My dad interrupted my sister over the three way call. "And you do need to apologize."

" But daddy she said and I quote 'the only reason why white people have the chance to shoot up school is because black
people are to busy shooting each other." Samaria said.

I scrunched my face up as I lay on my bed, "I'd dog walk her ass." I mumbled.

"Exactly, and since we sisters and share the same DNA..." She paused " I did."

I laughed as daddy sighed, just know he resting his head on the phone booth.

"You beat her ass right? " He asked.

"Yea-"

"She was leaking right?"

"Yeah but daddy why do I have to apol-"

"Because they want you too, you beat her ass black & blue she gonna know ta choose her words wisely next time, now apologize to that damn white girl before they kick you out that damn good school Samaria, I'm not playing with cho ass ya hear?" Daddy ranted.

"Sir ion know why you getting all worked up, what are you going to do over the phone in a penitentiary?" She asked.

I busted out laughing, "Samaria BITCH, fuck her up when you get out she tested ya limits cause you can't touch her."

"I know, she can keep it up and I send her ass right there where you at, with ya mother." He said

"Daddy don't play, I was joking imma apologize to the palm skinned ass bitch." Samaria sucked her teeth.

My sister is 15, she in Cali at some boarding school. Daddy enrolled her in as soon as he got that letter from her middle school saying she was gifted. He was big on education and if there was a way to get us to the next level he did. Boarding school was too much money fa just him to pay for, so he reached out to Samora and she agreed to pay half but once he got locked up she ended up having to pay for the entire tuition, and she ain't never let us forget it.

"Speak of ya mother, you need to tighten the fuck up Keymani. Why tf she got me wasted my one phone call to hear her complain about ya attitude." Daddy said in his stern voice.

I rolled my eyes sitting up from my bed, "You can't expect to to treat this lady like she some kinda kin ta me she ain't no kin ta me daddy pls."

"She a Mf Surrogate, she did what's she had to and just dip." Samaria agreed.

"That's still ya mother at the end of the damn day, you under her roof respe-"

"Did you know she was married?" I interrupted him. I was responded with silence.

I lift my eyebrows expectedly, "Tell the truth daddy, did you know she was married before you sent me here?"

"Daddy ya silence is not helping ya case right now just letting you know." Samaria said through the phone.

We heard him sigh, " I found out the day I called her to make the plans fa you to stay over there, and dude answered."

I scoffed, "And you except me to sit up in here and show that lady some type of respect?"

"You know fuck her leav-"

"Samaria Watch ya mouth ." Daddy warned.

" Naw da, for real fuck her abandoning me and Sa, she fucking hurt you too and you seem to always forget that." Samaria ranted.
