"Come on, Bri! The niggas gon' be out! We gotta get 'em!"

I laughed shaking my head, walking away from Niecy as she tried to convince me to go to this party tonight.

I like parties, I do. I wouldn't say I'm huge on them.. but every now and then it's nice to go out with some friends. But, tonight? I wanted to lay in my comfy bed and binge watch all the Friday movies. It was my routine for every Friday, and of course there just so happens to be a block party tonight that Niecy doesn't wanna miss.

Saniece, Niecy, is my best friend. Even more like a damn sister. We've been best friends since 2nd grade. Back then when I still stayed with my parents, Niecy and her family moved in next door. And of course, we ended up going to the same school, and in the same grade.. And in the same class.

Next thing you know, we were together all the time. Inseparable. Our moms and dads ended up becoming close, too. She ended up becoming the sister I never had.

I grew up being the only girl, with 3 older brothers. My mom always wanted a girl, so I guess her and my dad decided to keep trying until they got one.. and they made it with me. My oldest brother Coby always says they didn't only keep doing it just for a girl..

Freaky asses.

But, growing up life wasn't too shabby. I was extremely shy when I was little, you had to most likely talk to me first. Niecy coming into my life helped a lot with that.

Imagine having all brothers, I literally couldn't even look at a damn boy! I know it was all out of love, though. I mean.. me being their only sister, the youngest, and my dad always teaching them to not play about me.

I remember this one time my brothers, me, and my parents went out to eat and the server tried to flirt with me, ain't never heard my 2nd oldest brother Maurice clear his throat so loud. Startled the damn waiter, he didn't look my way the rest of the time. Glad the dude wasn't that cute anyway.

I love my brothers to death... but man I'm so thankful for Niecy, even if she can get on my damn nerves.

"Niecy, no! Do you not understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?" I rolled my eyes as I sat on the couch, Niecy huffing as she sat down next to me.

"I'm not going unless you go. And you know I really wanna go! Besides, I think that cute boy I told you about is gonna be there!" She whined, trying to get my attention as I scrolled through Netflix looking for Friday.

Saniece and I moved in with each other in our own little apartment after we graduated high school, not too far away from our college campus. We both got accepted and attend Hampton University. My major being Registered Nursing/registered nurse. And Niecy's being Criminal Justice/law and enforcement administration.

"Bitch what about yo' other lil friends? I'm sure they going." I finally looked at her, she frowned. Making a straight face.

"Now you know damn well... I wanna be with you!And they ain't you, so fuck them right around now!" She grabbed my cheeks, squishing them. Looking me in my eyes, I slapped her hand away as she laughed.
