It isn't unusual for me to wake up craving some type of food, I usually saw it in my dreams the night before.
Stripping my body bare of any kind of clothing I stepped into the steaming shower water engaging in my shower routine as 'twilight' by boa echoed and bounched off my bathroom walls.
I washed my body in the vanilla scented soap, loving how it made my skin feel.
Spending the next 30 minutes cleansing, I finally turned the water off and got ready as I headed down stairs.
"Hey baby, where you going all dressed up?" My mom asked hugging me as I hugged her back smiling.
"I was gonna visit that ice cream parlor we saw when we drove in, I'm craving sweets. "
"CRAVING?" my brother Hakeem came downstairs rubbing his eyes with his brown and black dreads pulled into a ponytail.
"You know what I meant." I said as I took a seat at the table while my mother plated the food.
"Good Morning Mora, did you take your medication today?" My dad asked while he poured the cups of coffee.
"No.. I'll take them after breakfast." I said as he gave me a warning look and I smiled sheepishly.
My mother placed plates on the table as I waited with my brother for our parents to sit down before we all bowed our hands and prayed.
The breakfast consisted of eggs, sausage, pancakes with syrup and grits with cheese on them.
"So... Hakeem.. Amora, how's school going." Me and Hakeem smiled, we've been here 3 weeks so far but it's been pretty peaceful.. Except this girl, Morty.. Marcy.. Mari!
Her name is Mari, she's just annoying but nothing I can't handle.
"It's been alright." we said in unison as he looked over at me and squinted and i did the same.
"Wanna be like me so bad." I said as he nudged me playfully laughing.
"Keem, you wanna come with me to the ice cream parlor?" I asked rubbing his head playfully as he side eyed me playfully.
