After school, me and Xae were at Jarret's house trying to find something to get into. I'm guessing Katoria was going to spend her day with Uncle Kenn, and I wasn't mad at that.

Alexus has been blowing up my phone and I've been ignoring her, as hard as it was. Her old nigga came back to Philly and Xae told me he saw them talking in the hallways. I asked her what they were talking about and she denied that they were even talking.

"Turn yo shit off, man." Darren said getting annoyed with the constant vibrations. I slightly mugged him before turning it off anyway.

"Katoria text me and said she going to Busch Gardens this weekend and want us to come." Xae said.

"I hope she meant us too cause I'm tryna get at her fine ass." Jarret said. I shook my head at his thirsty ass.

"Nigga, you be after all our family members." Xae said.

"Hell yeah I do, they fine. Tell Ms. Annamae she can hit a nigga line when she ready, too!"

"Nigga she bout seventy!"

"And nigga?"

I shook my head. Nasty ass nigga, I thought to myself.

"You ain't gone get her, and she ain't invite us." Darren said.

"Ask her, fam."

I turned my phone back on and called her, and put her on speaker.

"Hello?"

"Aye Katoria, Jarret and Darren wanna know if they come come to the watermark with us?"

"Which one is Jarret?"

I looked at Jarret and he looked confused.

"The one with the low cut. Darren the one with the big, nappy ass hair." I said and Darren flipped me off.

"Darren can come. I don't like Jarret."

We laughed as Jarret took the phone.

"Why you don't like me?" He asked.

"You talk too much. Give the phone back to my cousin."

"Aye I'm liking that accent, shorty." This nigga said tryna flirt, but I took the phone and held to my mouth.

"Marlo, he got one more time to say something nice and imma beat his ass." She said calmly and we died laughing.

"You trippin', cousin. Let him come. I'll make sure he don't say nothing." I said.

I heard her sigh.

"Alright, make sure y'all pack alot. We gone be there until Tuesday." She said.

"Alright, bye."

"Happy Birthday, baby!" Jarret yelled and she hung up, making us laugh again but Jarret smacked his lips.

"Damn man."

Katoria Halim
After I talked my mother, I went home. She's moving back to Queens and she told me that the only reason we moved was because she didn't want my dad to find us. We agreed to have no communication at all, because it is safe to say that I hate her. She's the reason me and my dad didn't have any connections since he was locked up.

Right now, I was just at home, making myself an Instagram. I'm a pretty girl, so why not? I take pictures all the time, but only upload them to Twitter.

I decided to make my name the same as my Twitter name, @QueensFinest_ . I texted Marlo and Xae and told them to shout me out and follow me.

Tonight, I would simply go out to eat with my dad, uncles and cousins. Sometimes I wish I had a sister or even a best friend, but then I think of the headaches they might give me and dismiss the thought.

Xae🌟- we need a picture of you

I scrolled through the pictures in my phone and then found one I thought was cute and sent it to him.

Xae🌟- couisinnnn you bad girl 😍

I laughed and thanked him. I had my dad take that picture earlier and he hated it. He made me change out of my romper because he said it showed too much.

Four hours later, all of us were in Chili's waiting on our food. They were taking their precious time.

I changed into all white with red huaraches and left my hair straight. I was really feeling my new look.

"I got you a gift, lil Kennon." Uncle Tahj said holding out a black box. I took it and opened it and in it was a pretty ass watch.

"Thanks Uncle Tahj." I said smiling at him.

"You welcome, kid."

"I got you something too." Xae said holding out a bag. I looked in it and there was a bunch of coupons for free wings at Winged it.

"Oh my gosh, man. This the best gift yet." I said hugging him.

"Yeah, I got yo ass something too." Uncle Ty said and handed me an envelope. It was a gift card to Chanel.

"There isn't a Chanel store in our mall." I said.

"It is in Virginia, and you can use it online too." Xae said. He's always jumping in conversations.

I looked towards Marlo, waiting on my gift. He shrugged and I mugged him.

"Nigga, give her her gift." My dad said. He smacked his lips and handed me a bag with four Mac lipsticks in it. I don't even wear makeup, but I guess I'll try it out.

Our food came and it looked and smelled so good. I looked at my dad's food and then up at him.

"Can I have some of yours?" I asked. He shook his head and pointed at Marlo. Marlo shook his head.

"Eat your own food." He said. I began to eat my shrimp and it was good, but I looked and saw he had some wings.

"Can I have some?" I asked him. He nodded and I took three.

"Spoiled ass lil girl. Xae, don't let her do you like that." Uncle Ty said. I giggled as we finished eating and then we were just talking.

"So you ain't got no bestfriend back in queens or nothing?" Xae asked. I shook my head no.

"No, and I know that's bad. I'll try to make at least one friend out here." I said sipping my water.

"I know a girl that's cool." Marlo said and I rolled my eyes thinking about Alexus.

"I hope you not talkin bout ya girl 'cause she ain't nothing but a headache, no disrespect." I said completely disrespecting her.

Him and Xae laughed then he shook his head.

"Nah, her name is Ja'Kiyia, she cool." He said and I shrugged. Maybe one day, but it'd be nice to have a best friends of some sort.
