"Girl tell me why Brittany pulled up right after you left." Kayla's voice echos from my phone while I cover my mouth. "I know Keith was about to cry." I say as I laugh a little. "No for real Ny, He really wa- hold on..homeboy from last night calling me." Kayla says before we say our goodbyes and she hangs up quickly. Today I plan to run to Frutta Bowl and stay home to finish up some work before I work tonight. Once I check the time, I start to get up and do my morning routine, before putting on some clothes.

"Wassup Ny'Asia." I hear someone's voice say as I turn around and see Shaio with Chase next to him. "Hey y'al- I thought you said Frutta Bowl was nasty.." I look at Shaio while he raises his eyebrow and looks around. "Nahh..when did I say that." He says while I roll my eyes and turn forward in the line. "Just know, I put you on." I say as he sucks his teeth. "Man, the bowl you had was nasty." I hear him say as I turn around to hit him but pause as the lady at the register talks. "Oh shi- sorry." I laugh nervously and start to put in my order, taking my card out.
"So Ny'Asia, you going to the basketball game tomorrow?" I look up from my table and see Shaio again. "I didn't know there was a game but I'll see how I'm feeling," I mumble and take my spoon to eat more out my bowl. "Alright, cool. Just let me know tomorrow." Shaio says as we say our goodbyes and he leaves with Chase following behind him. I finished up to my bowl and threw it in the trash before leaving the building to go back to my dorm. Once, I entered my dorm, I took off my clothes and went straight to sleep.
I flinch in my sleep once I hear loud ringing. "I need to change this alarm for real." I mumble and roll out my bed, getting my towel, toothbrush and speaker. I tried to hurry and do my edges but that shi was not staying straight at all. "You gotta let me know wassup with you fore I hit yo friend!" I start to yell along to the lyrics before putting down my hair supplies and throwing my hair in a ponytail. "I should really call out and sleep." I sigh and walk out the room to get my keys.
"Finally! You're here." I hear my boss Kyle say as I enter the room. "Yup, unfortunately." I say with a laugh as he rolls his eyes and walks behind the counter. "It's a week day so I'm sure there won't be as much people today, be thankful." He says as I shake my head and go to the register, taking a few peoples orders as the time went by. Even though Kyle said it would be less people..it felt like I seen 2 billion people walk up to this damn register. He most definitely lied.
It was getting late so there was not many people coming in. I felt my eyelids get heavy as my head tilted and I fell asleep. "This the only place that's open." I hear someone say as I quickly stand up. "Oh sh- Welcome, how may I help you." I rub my eyes to see Amiri standing infront of me with some of his friends. "Shit Ny'Asia..they got you working crazy out here." He says as I look around and try my hardest to act confused. "Huh? Me? Nah..I'm good." I laugh and adjust my hair. "Now what's up." I say waiting for them to order.
I had one more hour before my shift ended so I decided to start cleaning up since it seemed like no one else would come in. I couldn't help but to glance at Amiri a few times while I was sweeping the floor. I would be lying if I said he didn't look fine. "You good?" My thoughts get interrupted as I see Amiri stand right infront of me. "Fuck- yeah..I'm good." I laugh awkwardly as he laughs. "Oh aight..you seem mad sleepy." He says as I nod. "Hell yeah I'm tired." I yawn and wave bye to him and his friends. Finally, I could go home.
After I closed up the restaurant, I looked around for my sister's car since she was picking me up tonight. "Ny..over here." I hear someone say as I turn around and see Ny'Miko's car. I quickly run to the car and laugh. "Hey Miko." I get in the passenger seat and hug her. "I forgot to tell you, I'm going to a concert tonight..it's like a mix of artists. You should come with me." She says as I yawn and shake my head. "I don't have any clothes so I can-" I start to say as she interrupts me. "Nigga, let me dress you." She says excitedly as I roll my eyes and groan.
"You done showering?" I hear Miko say as I walk out the bathroom and walk to her room. "Oh okay, so I got an outfit." She smiles and shows me the outfit. "You gotta be a little scandalous tonight." I start to hold up the top and tilt my head. "Girl is those even a shir-." I start to mumble before Miko yells. "Nigga, go change!" I laugh and shake my head walking to the bathroom to change. "Damnnn, you looking good." Miko says as I walk out the room covering my chest. "Thank you, you look good too." I smile and out on some lip gloss. "Okay, we gotta go fore we late."
