The first semester of Junior year has arrived and summer break is over. Armani dreads getting up for school, but does so anyway. As she was done getting ready, the smell of a nice breakfast hit her nose. Armani grabs the things she needs for school and heads downstairs.
"Good morning everyone! Mmmm smells great in here mama, what you making?" she says going around the table hugging and kissing her family.
"Good morning baby, just making some waffles, eggs, and bacon" her mother replied.
After enjoying breakfast, Armani rushed out the door as she realized that she was going to be late picking up her best friend Emily and they were going to be late to school.
"Hey girl! Hurry up let's go we're late" Armani said to her bestie.
"I know you not rushing anybody with yo late ass" Emily laughed as she hopped in Mani's blue Charger and they sped off towards East Dade High.
As the girls headed into the school, Mani notices Malachi and his crew looking at them.
"Giirrrll why is Malachi and his lil friends staring at us like some pieces of meat" Emily said while laughing.
"I was thinking the same thing" Mani replied as the girls continued walking to their lockers.
Meeting back up at lunch, the girls decided to leave campus and get food from Chick-fil-A.
It seemed like the rest of the Junior and Senior class decided to leave campus and come to Chick-fil-A too, so the girls quickly found a spot and rushed in to order their food.
As they waited on their food, Malachi walked up to the girls. "Hey ladies. Mani you looking real cute today" he said to the girls.
"Thanks. You know just a real simple fit. What's up?
"You know I been having my eye on you-" Armani cut him off before he could finish.
"Yeah so what you want lil boy?"
"Damn ma chill let me talk. As I was saying I been seeing you around and we need to chill some time. Here put ya number in my phone and I'll hit you up." Malachi said so smoothly.
Mani put her number in his phone and Malachi walked off.
"Damn Mani you pulled Malachi like that? Okay I see you big baller" Emily said through laughs.
"Mann you know how I get down. Dont play with me baby" Mani replied to her best friend.
Shortly after the girls got their food and headed back to school to finish out their day.
At the end of the school day, the girls headed to Mani's house so they could rest up before going to the mall with Tony, Mani's dad.
--------------------------------------------
As the girls walked in and out of stores, Tony finally got the girls to go in Footlocker so they could get new shoes.
"Damn ma twice in one day? Must be meant for us to chill together" Malachi said as he approached Mani and Em.
"Ummm I don't know about allat just yet, but wassup with you?"
"Shiiid I'm tryna see wassup with you. Let me get these shoes for yall" Malachi suggested.
"Nah we good. Uncle Tony got us we don't need another man for shit" Em replied smartly.
"I know that's right girl!" Mani replied as they dapped each other up.
"Damn it's like that? Ight my bad shawty ima hit you up later" he said and he and the rest of his friends left the store.
Finally, the girls and Tony checked out in Footlocker and made their way to the parking garage to head back home.

After doing their homework and eating dinner, Mani dropped Em off at home so they could prepare for the next school day.
Mani called her dad as she made a quick stop at the late night ice cream shop to see if he wanted anything.
She ordered and paid for the ice cream making her way home after waiting a few minutes for her order.
"Hey daddy I'm back with our ice cream" Mani says as she walks in the house and greets her father who is sitting in the den with the lights on low.
"Hey princess" Tony greets her with a fake smile and a forehead kiss.
"Thank you for the ice cream princess. Care to sit with your dad and watch Naruto?"
"Of course daddy you know I enjoy our twin time. Is everything okay? You seem a little down."
"Yeah princess, everything is fine. I promise it's nothing you or anyone else in this house should be worried about." Tony replied as he turned the show on.
Armani nodded and the two sat back in a comfortable silence as they watched a few episodes of Naruto.
"Anthony Jamal! Armani Giselle! It is almost 1:30 in the morning. What are yall still doing up?" Angel questioned as the two jumped out of their sleep.
"Honey why are you yelling at us?" Tony said with his sleepy voice.
"Oops I'm sorry baby. I thought you and your twin were still up watching tv."
"It's okay" Tony replied as he kissed his wife.
"Hurry up and come to bed. You know I can't sleep unless you're with me." Angel said in a sweet but demanding voice.
"Mani baby. Come on I need you to get up and go get in your bed" Tony said doing his best to wake up Armani.
Armani would not wake up so Tony covered her with the blanket some more and put a pillow under her head.
Mani's parents kissed her forehead and they headed upstairs to their room.
