Made To Be Together

Chapter 1: Back & Better

*New year, new book.

Ronny's POV

My alarm went off. I turned over and hit the snooze. A cold hand hit my face.

"Get up, we gotta go to school."

"Man, move." I groaned.

"Ronny you better get up before I call Granny and tell her to come over here."

"Ain't nobody scared of Granny." I yelled, throwing a pillow at her.

"Let me just call her then."

I sat up. "Ight, chill out Ry. Damn."

"Get up!" She yelled again.

"I'm up. Get yo ass out my room."

"Gladly. It stinks in here anyway. Oh wait! Can we take Kourtney to school?"

"Ain't no we lil girl. Can I take him to school? And no."

"Why not!?"

"Cause I gotta go pick up Candy."

"They live in the same neighborhood."

"Since when?"

"Since forever. So can we pick him up?"

"Yeah Ryan." I sighed.

She put the phone to her ear. "He said we can come get you."

Kourtney was on the other line.

"No you hang up first. No you." She cheesed.

I got out the bed, snatched the phone and hung it up. "Oop, I hung up first. Who said you can call your little boyfriend on my phone anyway?"

"An angel appeared and handed me your phone and said 'call the love of your life'. Who am I to go against it?"

"Love of your life? Slow ya roll." I wrapped my arm around her head. "Right now, I'm the only love of your life."

"Get away from me, musty self!" She pushed me. "Hurry up and get in the shower."

I pushed her as I walked out the room. "I shoulda left you at Granny house, mean ass."

"I get it from my brother." She replied and went in the kitchen.

I did my hygiene thing and put on some clothes. Then I grabbed my bag and keys.

"Pass me an apple and let's roll out." I told Ryan.

She tossed me an apple and grabbed her backpack.

We got out the door and into the car.

"You excited about your first day of 6th grade?" I asked her after biting into my apple, looking in the rear view mirror.

She shrugged. "I guess."

"Don't sound too excited."

"I just need you to promise me something."

"What?"
