moving from los angeles to new york was a huge change. she didn't have any problems with new york—although she knew there was a lot of beef with the hoods—but she had to leave behind all of her friends and now she has to make new ones. she's not really extroverted but she wants to make new friends just so she can get around new york easier. it's only her and her mom. she didn't know what happened between her mom and dad but they don't speak anymore and she hasn't seen her dad in a while. they didn't really click when her dad was in her life and she was always been a momma's girl. she has a family friend in new york, kevin perez, who's known as kay flock. he's a drill rapper and her cousins back in los angeles knew him and she spoke to him a few times.
he's currently locked up for a murder charge and she doesn't really know the crazy beef in new york but she knows that him, dougie b, and setty don't fuck with the niggas from sugarhill. it's crazy because they're all older beefin with boys her age. she laughs about it every time she thinks about it.
her and her mom had people help them move into their new apartment. they had to move to new york because her mom got a new job here. she's a professor and she's going to start teaching at new york university. maybe india will like the new change, but for now and maybe for a little while, she's going to miss los angeles so much.
"make sure your window is a bit cracked. not open all the way, okay?" her mom, imani, says to her.
"why?" india asks as she finishes setting up her bed. "are people gonna shoot at me?"
"who knows," her mom jokes as she looks around her daughter's room. she got an apartment with three big rooms for each of them and one is a guest room. it had a laundry room, big bathroom, a pretty kitchen, and a living room that connected to the kitchen. "but, it gets kind of loud at night and i know how you like your quietness. just... if you need anything and you plan on going out, let me know."
her mom wasn't strict. india always followed the rules. her mom allowed her to go to parties, smoke if she wants to, and have a boyfriend. all that india has to do is not lie to her and everything will be okay. india can tell her mom anything so she never felt the need to lie to her.
"i feel like i'll get lost if i leave the crib." india chuckles, getting makeup wipes to remove her makeup and get comfortable in her bed. she took pictures while the guys were setting up the house.
"well, there's the uber app and you know i don't mind if you use my card to get an uber. and also, you have your phone to allow you to see where to go," her mom responds. "okay, i'm bout to go make some food. i'll text you when the food is done."
"alright, ma. i'm bout to change my outfit and take my makeup off." india says with a smile.
her mom leaves the room and closes the door behind her. india closes her curtains so when she turns on her led lights it'll pop out more. she puts the lights as purple and moves her chair closer to the mirror so she can start taking her makeup off.
she opened her phone and went on instagram to post her picture before she finally changes into something more comfortable.
