I pushed the front door opened with my pops hot on my tail asking me about school.

"So how was school?" He asked for the 50th time

"Cool" I replied dumping my papers on the counter in the kitchen heading to the food. Your girl hungry.

"That's good. Made any friends?" He questioned. See he killing my life with the 21 questions game.

"Uh" I started. See that question had me stomped because I don't know if Kristen, Seiko, Austin and Chris would be considered as my friends just yet, but nonetheless I nodded.

"Yeah I did." I said pulling out a bag of chips. I could really go for a sub sand which.....

"That's great princess, but I have to go back to the office" he said. Dad works at a repair office for apple.

"Mkay" I replied not really caring that ain't got nothing to do with me and this sub sandwhich I'm about to get into.

"I want you to get out the house." He said

Okay..not now I'm trying to eat.

"Kay" I rolled my eyes

"Like...now" he laughed

"What am I going to do? Old man I don't know any one" I said getting out some pickles

"Go to the mall. I saw you didn't have a book bag. Shop!" He said

Well who am I to go against my fathers wishes? He said shop why should I disobey him?

"Okay" I said grabbing an napkin wrapping my sub in it following behind him to the car.

I had a whole bunch of bags in my hands as I walked Crenshaw mall in baldwin hills.

I had 4 pairs of Jordan 12's and a couple of outfits, I was looking for something bad to wear to Austin's party just so I could stunt on these Cali girls. Show them how New York get down.

I was going to go into forever 21 that was until this tattoo shop caught my eye. I walked in seeing a couple people getting inked up. I walked to the front desk trying to get some help.

A cute brown skinned guy came from the back smiling at me. "What can I help you with" he asked still smiling

"I kinda wanna get my belly button pierced" I told him

His smile grew "Alright shawty I see you" he said making me laugh

"Oh you know" I flirted back

"Well can I get this paper work and get my boy to do it?" He asked

"What ever is best" I nodded understandingly

"Okay don't go no where" he winked. One think I do like about Cali guys is that they are flirts and I'm a flirty type of person.

I waited until the guy came back with the paper work. "When you done just give it to me and I'll get you set up." He instructed

After filling out paper work I handed it to him. "Sit right her beautiful and our artist will be with you" the guy said

"Okay thank you..." I pressed

"Oh langston" his smiled grew

"Well thank you langston" I said

"Do I get a name?" He asked with an eye brow raised

"I'm Jhene" I told him

"Well nice to meet Jhene" he shook my hand
