Crystals POV (Sorry For any Spelling/Grammar mistakes)

*Ding!* My phone sounded as I wiped the countertops of the cafe. I looked down to see a text from my friends.

Kat: Y'all still good for the mall and stuff tomorrow

Ima: Yep

Let me double check with my mom I texted.

I finished wiping the counters and went back to the kitchen where my mother and some of her employees were cleaning the kitchen and preparing for the next day.

"Hey mom." I asked said.

"Yes?" She responded.

My mother looked up from the stuff she was putting away. She looked at me with her wide dark brown eyes. She has  butterscotch toned skin and shoulder length black mid wavy hair. She's 45 but looks 15 years younger than what she is.

"I'm still good to got to Kats party tomorrow right?"

"Yes I told you its fine go have fun." She replied.  "Arturo you done?"

"Yeah were gonna ride my bike home." My brother said.

My brother has maple colored skin with loose taper faded curls that he dyed golden blonde. His hair is naturally dark brown. His eyes are a chestnut brown. He's 18. He mostly looks like my mother.

I on the other hand look more like my dad did. I have long almost wait length locs. They are black with some that I dyed emerald green on the ends. I have jade green eyes and a walnut skin tone. I'm sixteen.

"Ok be safe and Don't-"

"Don't speed I know." He told her.

We put on some helmets and hopped on his motorcycle. I love riding my brothers motorcycle I feel so free and like nothing even matters. He doesn't know it but I sometimes take it for rides when he's not around. I'm probably a better rider than him anyway.
When we got home. I fed our fish tank in the living room. I then put headphones on and began to clean my room and fold clothes. When I got done I took a shower. I brushed my teeth,did my skincare and got in the bed. Mom was probably gonna work late again.  

The Next Morning

"EHHH!!! EHHH!!! EHHHHH!!!

My alarm sounded. I opened my eyes and leaped out of bed. It was finally Friday and my mom let me skip out on school to celebrate my friends birthday. I'm very excited. Wow you can tell I don't get out much. I hurriedly put on my long coffee brown skirt,assorted waist beads, a sage green long sleeve crop top,black combat boots,assorted bracelets and some quartz earrings.

*Ding!*

I looked down at my phone.

Kat: Five minutes away Crystal

Ok I texted

I was seriously so excited for the weekend. We were going to go the mall,have dinner and then go to a nice resort in Bel Air! And that was just today!!! I had a lot of money I had been saving for the weekend I grabbed my suitcase and I headed downstairs.

"You about to go?" Arturo asked me.

"Yeah" I replied.

"Don't be doing anything to grown little girl." He scolded.

"Like what?"

" I don't know like falling in love or some shit"

I couldn't help but to laugh. My brother can say the dumbest shit ever at times.

"Whatever." I sated rolling my eyes.

"Don't whatever me." He said pointing at me like somebodies old ass abuelo (grandfather)

*Ding*

Kat: Outside Crystal
Oh
"They're here." I told him. "Where's mama?"

"Still asleep. She was up late last night... later than usual. I'm worried about her."

Mama had been sleeping a lot lately and was working a lot the restaurant was draining her. Me and my brother try to do all we can but being we still go to school we can only do so much.

"Me to... I'll see you on Sunday."

"Ok see you then."

I grabbed my brown tote bag,walked out the door and saw my friends Katara and Imari standing next to Katraras moms car.

"Heyyy Crystal!!!" Imari exclaimed coming over to hug me.

"Hey girl." I said hugging her. "Hey birthday girl!"

"Hi thank you."  Katara replied giving me a hug.

"Here you go." I said handing her 100 dollars. "A little contribution to that film camera you want."

"Oh my god thank you!!!"

"Hi Crystal." Kataras mom said from inside the car.

"Hi Mrs Osman!" I greeted.

My friend Katara has long chocolate brown hair,cashew toned skin and wide amber doe eyes. She's the shortest one out of us at five feet two inches. She was wearing an over sized grey t shirt with ocean blue graphics, grey baggy cargo pants and some blue high top Jordan 1s. She had on a blue side bag,a silver chain,silver hoop earrings and black shades above her eyes. She's Arabic.

"Ok Kat we see the outfit." I said hyping her up.

She chuckled. Kat is the type to laugh when you compliment her. She just is more quiet and keeps to herself. She always has some good advice and knows how to socialize but just performs small groups of people or being by herself.

"Right she know she look good!" Imari proclaimed.

Imari has espresso brown skin,almond shaped dark brown eyes and short blonde kinky hair. She had cut her bueatiful Afro off a few months ago because she wanted to try the buzz cut look. She looked good but I miss her hair shes growing it back out though. Imari is the life of the party! She enjoys socializing and meeting new people. Shes Ghanaian.

Imari was wearing a red bodysuit with black leggings, a cropped black jean jacket and a pair of black loafers. She had red Chanel bag with a golden necklace and golden stud earrings.

"We look good today girls." I told everyone.

"We sure do!" Imari stated. "Let's get these bags in the car for you." Imari stated grabbing my suitcase.

"Crystal you forgot your clutch with your credit card!" Arturos voice said from behind me.

I ran over to the door and grabbed the bag from him. I saw my mom walking upstairs. She looked at me and waved. I waved back.

"I love you have fun!" She messaged to me through her mind.

"I will. Love you." I messaged back.

Oh did for forget to mention? My family has magical powers.
