Beyoncé Knowles.

He shook his head before heading inside, turning the lights on.

"Get up!" Ms. Diaz yelled barging into the girls room, spraying them with a spray bottle. Ariana shrieked putting her pillow over her head.

Blue groaned feeling the water hit her dead in the face before going back to sleep.

"It's so early" Sky huffed

"And it's Saturday" Jada added

"Thanks for the time and date. Now over to Stanley for the weather, it's raining" Ms. Diaz sarcastically said spraying them again. "The city called. They're coming to inspect. You gotta clean this whole place up!"

"Aren't they supposed to give a couple days notice?" Blue propped herself up on her elbow and asked.

"Aren't I supposed to be married to George Clooney?" Ms. Diaz asked I'm a sarcastic manner, shrugging her shoulders. "Get out of bed and start cleaning"

"Who's George Clooney?" Ariana asked

"Exactly girlfriend. Exactly" Ms. Diaz agreed spraying Ari in her face, making her flop back on the bed.

"No breakfast until this place is spotless!" She said before walking out, slamming the door in the process.

"I hate her so much" Sky said

"And if you find any loose change over a nickel, it's mine." Ms. Diaz came back into the room and announced before walking back out.

"I was having the best dream. I was ice-skating on real, live ice" Stella said putting her shoes on.

"Save your dreams for good stuff" Jada told her. "Like shopping with an unlimited credit card"

"Or swimming in candy" Ariana added happily

"Or flying to the moon on a rocket ship" Sky said "all things that'll never happen"

Ms. Diaz barged into the room again, throwing the cleaning supplies into the room, knocking Ariana's pullout bed up causing Ariana to scream as she rolled back into the couch.
