"I'm tired of this grandpa," I said to Shani, who had forced me to make TikToks with her for the last hour.

"Well that's too damn bad," she responded while propping her phone up against the wall.

"Word to my dead this the last one I'm doing Shani."

After we finished the last TikTok, I dramatically fell to the floor and said, "Finally."

"How the hell you got so much energy and we been moving stuff all week? Me and Nas tired as fuck," I said, referring to the boy who was currently sleeping on the couch. Shani just shrugged while watching our tiktoks over and over again.

We had just finished setting up my apartment. I had to buy furniture, decorations, groceries, etc. I had fully decorated everything but Arion's room, leaving it for him to decorate to his liking.

Nas woke up and shifted around before he said, "I'm hungry as fuck. I'm bout to go to the deli. Y'all coming?"

"Yeah," I replied. Shani also nodded in agreement.

We all left the building and walked to the deli on the corner. Shani and I picked out some snacks while Nas ordered some food. After paying for our stuff, we left and started walking back to my building.

"Yo Nas," someone called out from behind us making us turn to look in their direction.

"What's good Setty," Nas replied recognizing the boy who was now halfway jogging up to us.

He dapped up Nas and Shani then stopped to look at me.

"Nini?" He asked.

It finally clicked in my mind who was in front of me.

"Jerry?"

"Yo that's crazy," he said, with a shocked look on his face before hugging me. Then we all chopped it up for about fifteen minutes, laughing and catching up.

"I was on my way to the studio. Y'all should pull up," Setty said.

We agreed since we had nothing better to do and followed behind him as he led the way. After about five minutes of walking, we reached the studio. We entered the building and began walking towards a door at the end of the hallway. I heard the faint sound of music behind the door.

Confused, I asked Setty, "Who's in there?"

"How the fuck I'm posed to know? We'll see when we get inside," he replied, pushing the door open, and making Nas bust out laughing.

I can't stand these niggas. Smacking my lips, I responded, "It wasn't even that funny."

"Yeah. Not too much on my best," Shani said, grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers.

"Yeah aigh. Bring ya ass," he said, walking through the door with us following behind him.

I scanned the room quickly and felt my heart drop to my ass when I see Kay sitting on the couch looking down at his phone. Oh my fucking God. I should kick Setty's ass.

I wonder if I can bolt out the door before he looks up. I turn to Shani, my eyes quickly darting between her and the door, trying to hint that I wanted to leave. Not understanding what I was trying to say, she just looked at me like I was crazy. This girl is slow as fuck.

"Let's go," I mouthed silently, gesturing toward the door we had just walked through.

"Yooo," Setty called out, ruining my escape plan.
