Two weeks later...

"She's a graduateeee" Rya dragged as I walked up to my family "Againnn" I matched her energy smiling holding my diploma

I just finished my last classes last week and this week I graduate again but this time with my masters, Both sides of my family were here to support me and of course my Bestfriend was here

Kingston walked over to me lifting me I yelped wrapping my arms around his neck "Kingg" I whined as he spinned he stopped spinning looking at me "What? my baby sister got her masters degree" Kingston smiled at me I laughed rolling my eyes he kissed my forehead putting me down

I looked to his side seeing Sabrina "Congratulations sis" Sabrina hugged me I hugged her holding her tight "Thank you"

"My parents are here" Sabrina smiled I gasped "What where?" I looked behind her searching the hall with my eyes "Talking to your mom"

"Okay" I walked away from them hearing their laughs as I walked to my mom "Pops" I smiled hugging Poppa Tim he chuckled hugging me tight "Congratulations babygirl"

"Thank you" I smiled holding him we let go of each other he held a sympathetic look "Oh don't cry babygirl" I wiped my tears gently not trying to ruin my makeup

"Thank you for coming" I sniffled he chuckled pulling me back into a hug "Always" His voice was muffled I pulled away looking at Sabrina's mom "Congratulations my love" I hugged her she hugged me back "Thank you"

"Thank you guys for coming" I pulled away from Moms "We are so proud of you sweetie" I smiled

"We heard your in the FBI now" Moms smiled I laughed nodding "Been there for about two months in a half now"

"What! why you ain't tell us" Poppa Tim pushed me I laughed pushing him back "I'm sorry!"

"Yeah whatever" He shook his head I rolled my eyes "Aye Pops" Kingston came along dapping up pops "How you doin son"

"Good just work and work and more work" Kingston chuckled causing pops and moms to laugh while I smiled I turned around to take a look of my surroundings a habit I picked up from Kingston

"How are you feeling about being a parent soon" Pops asked King he smiled shaking his head "It's surreal man and I honestly can't wait"

"I'm gonna be the best father, i'm not finna be nothin like that nigga" King spoke passionately I twisted my lips "King" I sighed he looked over to me "Don't start Bk"

Me and Kingston could never come to agreement about our father he had this anger towards him which was valid of course but I didn't agree with it I don't believe our father was a deadbeat for him to disappear on our mom but his family too that wasn't normal

My mom walked up to us hugging both Cely and Tim after they greeted each other my mom informed them about the after party that my mom was hosting at her house

My mom always threw a party even if it was our smallest accomplishment she didn't care she celebrated them all

"Aye momma— can Kareem slide through to the party?" Kingston asked our mom as he was texting on his phone I rolled my eyes subtly "Of course tell him he's more than welcomed"

more than welcomed is a push.

I want the money
money and the cars
cars and the clothes, the hoes, I suppose
