i hear a car pull up when im just sitting in my room watching tiktok but since the houses are so close together, it could be next door and not infront of the house.. i hear someone come up, go to the porch and open the house door downstairs.. i live in the upper duplex house in East detroit. its been a long time since someones lived in that downstairs duplex considering it caught on fire last year when nobody was home, my little cousins lived there but they moved after and i havent  seen them since because my dads mad at my aunt and uncle for it. anyways i look out the window and see a little boy playing with toys outside and a girl, im guessing is his mom. shes grabbing boxes and bringing them to the porch, im guessing there is someone bringing them inside but i cant see the porch because its a blind spot, my dad goes downstairs and i follow him outside to the porch and i sit on the side of it because theres a brick siding, the boy that's helping bring stuff inside looks about 16-17..he has a little afro and a cut in each eyebrow and a tattoo that says cleopatra, he's about 5'7. my dad comes up to the porch,
"will you help cleo and them bring the boxes and everything inside the house?"
"yea" i say sighing

i get up and go follow my dad to the uhaul and he gets up in there and hands a box down so i go and walk up to the porch but the boy stops me and said he'll take it so i give him it.
2 hours later
im so tired from helping them move in so i ask my dad if i can go up to the corner store but he tells me to have my older brother come with me.

i have 2 older brothers. von or davon, hes about 5'11, he has waves.
my other brother, is dj or damien, hes about 6'2, he has cornrows
a twin brother, he has free forms and hes probably 5'10
and one younger sister, i havent seen her since she was 9 months old
i have cornrows that i either have in a bun or down, im about 5'3
were all mixed but more pale them them. i almost look white.

my brother von, me and the new boy named jahseh walk to the corner store as were walking my brother and him talk about stuff

"i dont know why im moving here im not even from Michigan" jahseh explains
"im from Florida but my moms making us move here i think because ive got kicked out of so many schools she wants me to restart you feel me?" says jahseh 
"yea thats wild" says my brother Von
"ive got kicked out of only two schools for fighting" my brother says
"yea mine are all for fighting too but it because them boys was testing me" jahseh says
"yea..." von trails off
"So how long you lived here for?" jahseh asks
"in detroit?" von asks
"obviously" i say under my breath as i hit the button to cross the street
"girl shut up" von says as jahseh laughs
"yea in detroit" jahseh says as we cross the street
"ive lived here since i was 11 and im 17 now so 6 years.."
"oh type shit im 17 too" jahseh says
i hit a different button to cross again and we wait, then we walk into the store and i go grab a tropical fantasy drink and almond joys and i slip 2 chickohsticks in my pocket and walk over to jahseh and von
"what are u getting vine"
"almond joy and a pinapple tropical fantasy"
"ouuu good looks" von says
"yup"
we walk up to the counter and my brother pays for everything

we walk out to the cross walk and i press the button to cross
"how are you wearing those clothes" von asks me "its fucking hot out"
"well if i wear shorts id get yelled at or spaghetti straps ill get yelled at"
"true true" von says as we cross the street
we get to the corner and nobody's coming so we all kitty corner and run across the street and we run home. we get to the porch and my brother talks too jahseh while i play subway surfers on my phone my twin brother damari walks up with his 2 friends renni and vae. i hate both of them,
"YURRRRT" mari yells as he opens the gate and walks up
"wassup my baby"  von daps up mari
"wassup" mari daps up jahseh

"yessir" jahseh says as i get up and walk out the yard, everyone looks at me
von says "vine what are you doing"
"asias picking me up. yall are boring"

as soon as he heard her name he looked at me and ran upstairs
"RENNI, VAE CMONNNN" mari says
i see him watching out the window and i giggle
asia pulls up with her mom [were 16 and we dont have a car, yea ik] and i get in the back with Asia
"hi mrs.cupid"
"hey little miss divine" she says as she looks through the mirror
we pull off and go to her house
-we get in the house -
"i have to leave to go to work so ill be back in the morning to drop off divine okay?" says asias mom
"okay" we both say as we look at eachother and smile
her mom goes and get ready as we sit in the living room and watch coryxkenshin, her mom walks out,
"im going to send you 60$ on apple pay, spend it on doordash but DONT NOT LEAVE THIS HOUSE." says asias mom.
"yes maam" asia says
asias mom leaves a locks the door.

"No they left for the month" asia says
"okay good"
we get our shoes on and she opens her window, and she climbs out i get up there and i get scared
"girl come onnnn hurry"
"bro its to high for that"
she grabs a lawn chair and puts it under the window
i jump into it and i break it and we bust out laughing and i get up and we run to the trail behind her house we walk until we get to a bridge thats over the highway and we sit there and watch the sun go down as she lights a preroll, she takes a puff and passes, we get up and keep walking while smoking
20 minutes later
