“This picnic better not be wack.” I say to Natalie. I don’t understand why out of all the trips we could have went today, they decided to take us to the field in the back of the school for a picnic, are you serious. Natalie, Kayla, Herbert and Laura are chatting up a storm beside me while I’m thinking to myself how i would have even dismissed this for math class and I HATE MATH!!

We all sit down on all of each other’s sweaters, They can’t even provide a couple of picnic blankets, After we set out our ghetto picnic blanket, Laura, Chantel, Natalie, Kayla, Tianna and Me all make a body pyramid. It takes 4 falls for me to realize that somebody is missing.... Lovasia! I go to find her and notice her running around the field with Amoz, Destiny Stone, Marianny Rodriguez and Anthony Heard. Princeton and Morehouse kids. Lovasia, Boo, What are you doing. We are supposed to be Hamilton for life. I go to get her. She supposed to be hanging out with us! When I try to get her attention, she ignores me and runs past me, girl you know you heard me, I think as I’m calling her name.

“Lovasia!! Lovasia!! Lovasia Princess Lewis!!!!” She finally turns around and walks to me. “What?” She says to me. “Lovasia, We are having mad fun over there, come hang out with us.” “What y’all doing over there” she respond with a lot of sass “Making body pyramids. It’s so much fun!!!” I start dragging her by her arm and that is when she snatches away and says under her breath “Lames.” then walks away from me.

I feel stupid. Very stupid. I go back over to my “lame” friends and start gossiping about Lovasia. 20 minutes later, words are exchanged that I was talking about Lovasia. At first she cames up to me by herself and tries to have a civilized conversation, but honestly I don’t want to hear it so I tune her out and walk away. She starts to follow me, still trying to prove her point, I turn around and say “If I’m a lame why are you trying to prove your point to me!!” I say. 5 minutes later, she comes with a group like she wants to jump me and she starts yelling, jumping and clapping her hands angrily. Ghetto, that’s the word. My best friend Lovaisa has became a ghetto chickenhead, precisely

When I get home, I go in my dad’s room and tell him about my day. My dad knows and likes Lovasia, so he says “Kelee, Lovasia is just going through a phase. and watch if your not friends before the day is over y’all will be friends first things tomorrow.” So with that said I go and sit on the couch and play “Infamous 2” demo. The phone rings and I pick it up. It’s Natalie.. She says Lovasia says she sorry, etc. Such BS. I text her from my dad’s phone :

Me: If you were sorry why didn't you just tell me?

Lovasia: I’m not sorry because I didn't do anything

Me: Well then why Natalie tell me that?

Lovasia: I don’t know but that’s not what I said.

Me: Ok then I’m sorry Lovasia. You just made friends so quickly and i guess I was jealous and mad because it seemed you just dropped us

Lovasia: Kelee, I would never just forget you guys, you guys have been my friends for years.

After she says that I melt. I don’t want to text her no more. I tell her I’ll call her and I do. We talk for 3 hours. My dad was eavesdropping the whole time. My life is so complicated. I live in three houses basically. My father works a night job of 11 to 7 for MTA so while he is at work I’m either at my aunt Vicki’s house or my stepmother Theresa’s house.. Most of the time I’m at Vicki’s. When me and my dad get on the B83 he says to me “ What I told you? I knew you guys were going make up, that’s your best friend.” I ignore him, lay down on his shoulder and take a nap.

New Lots. I ring the bell to Vicki’s apartment. “Whoooo!” Danielle says “It’s Kelee” I reply loudly, who else would be ringing the bell at 10: 13 pm! I kissed my dad and walk into the apartment building as Danielle lets me in through intercom. “I’m home!” I scream as walk into Vicki’s apartment. I walk into Vicki’s room and see that’s Dawg is in there and not my aunt. I don’t like Dawg. He’s my aunt’s fiancee. He’s not for her, he’s a jerk. I walk into Danielle and Quanmira’s room. My favorite cousins are sleep already. Awww, I wanted to talk to Danielle. I jump in a quick shower and have an extended nap in Quanmira’s bed.
