Hasen R. Walker

Hasen sucked her teeth when True finally answered the phone.

"I hate FaceTime. You know that." True said, rubbing his eye, and Hasen stared at him with a frown on her face

"Why you look like that?" True asked, Hasen didn't say anything she only stared

"You having a bad day?" True asked, and Hasen nodded her head.

"Can you come get more or something?" Hasen asked, and True started laughing

"Why? You miss me?" True asked, still laughing, and Hasen sucked her teeth

"I don't even like you. There's nothing funny." Hasen responded, and True continued to laugh.

"Aigh, I'm sorry." True stopped laughing, seeing her facial expression

"I can't come get you." He said looking down at the camera, and Hasen squinted her eyes at him.

"You got school lil girl." True joked, and Hasen sucked her teeth

"You could barely come out of the house; you know you need my company." Hasen said, and True side eyed the camera

"You trinna be funny?" True asked setting the phone up on something before standing back.

"Maybe." Hasen responded looking at him. His shirt was off, and he was eating cereal.

"Come get me. Now." Hasen demanded, and True jerked his head back before laughing.

"I ain't doing shit, lil girl." True responded, making Hasen suck her teeth and hang up on him.

Everything was annoying her, and she didn't know why. She felt like crying, but no tears came out.

Hasen pulled her blanket over her body before closing her eyes, getting ready to take her third nap of the day.

Hasen's phone rang with a FaceTime call from True, and she answered with her camera facing the ceiling.

"Put your face in the camera so I can violate you." True said, and Hasen sucked her teeth and put her face in front of the camera.

"What I told you about hanging up in my face? You dumb?" True asked, and Hasen shrugged her shoulders

"You said no to coming to get me, so there's no reason for us to talk anymore." Hasen said, and True sucked his teeth

"I never said no. I said you had school." True said, and Hasen shrugged her shoulders.

"Same thing." Hasen said

"I just want you to know you being dramatic." True said to her, Hasen could hear him moving around

"I'm coming to get you. You better be ready or imma leave you." True told her, and Hasen smiled

"Okay." Hasen said lowly trying to keep up her attitude facade.

Hasen hung up before getting out of bed, and she grabbed her towel before walking to her bathroom.

Hasen was in New York, and she didn't feel as sad as she did when she was in the house.

Hasen sat on the phone with her father while he talked

"You'll be back Sunday, right?" Jordan asked,

"Yes." Hasen responded

"You also don't have to call me every day when you miss me." Hasen told him, and Jordan sucked his teeth
