i decided to tell my mom about me being pregnant. i didn't know how it was gonna go but i was nervous.
"mommy." i called out to her.
"yes sanyiah?" i walked into her room and sat on her bed then started speaking.
"so you remember how we went on vacation with the williams and how mrs. williams bought us condoms and shit" she nodded her head motioning me to go on.
"well i'm pregnant.." she just looked at me in awe.
"okay. are you keeping it?"
"well i want to. me and isaiah had a conversation about like having kids and he said he wanted one and i thought it would be a good birthday surprise." she just stared at me again.
"does brenda know?" i shook my head
"when do y'all plan to tell her?" i shrugged my shoulders
"since devin is back, we don't think we should."
"she's gonna notice your belly poofing up then she's gonna ask, what then?"
"then i'll tell her, i won't tell her unless she asks"
i felt my phone buzz in my pocket. it was isaiah.

i told my mom that i was going with isaiah and i put on some clothes.
he texted me that he was here and i put on my pink crocs and got in the car.
"here" he tossed a bag in my lap.
"what's this"
"breakfast" i nodded and told him thank you.
i started eating as he drove. i heard the song 'gang over luv' by brent faiyaz. that's the song me and isaiah listened to in 8th grade on repeat.
i hummed the melody and isaiah started singing under his breath.
"i was hella broke then, i ain't have a dime, i was always focused, i ain't waste no time"
"i ain't have a car in my name, i used to walk to work every day, me and my dawg, like it or not, i came out alright" i joined him.
then we started screaming the chorus
"ALL THE HOMIES WE CAME UP THE SAME WAY AND I SWEAR AINT NOTHING CHANGED, GOT A LIL BIT OF CHANGE IN MY POCKET BUT I MAINTAIN, WE WERE YOUNG AND IN THIS WORLD CHASING DREAMS AND GIRLS RUNNING FROM OUR PROBLEMS AND I KNOW WERE OLDER NOW BUT THATS WHAT WE WERE ALL ABOUT"
