"So how come we can't get Obama in office for another four years?" Manny asked confused.

I stopped eating my pancake and put my fork down. Dre and Jai was laughing while Manny was confused. "Manny it doesn't work like that bro. Read the twenty-second amendment of the U.S. Constitution," I said.

"That's not even right though sis. You know how we can change that?"

"You asking me or you telling me you have the answer to how we can change it?"

"Yeah I'm telling you how we can change. See, if us black peoples got together and start a petition we might can change the future," he said smiling like he said the smartest thing.

"Change the future?" Jai asked.

"Yeah. See if Obama can't get re-elected the future is already written but we," he pointed to all of us. "Can change that."

"Not gon' happen," I said mimicking New New from ATL.

"Man c'mon.. Let's start a petition."

"You can start one but we won't be included. Ion got time to be the donkey of the day and don't even try to bribe my sister," Dre said shaking his head.

"Black peoples, I tell ya."

He was killing me cause he kept saying "peoples" instead of people. I turned to look at Jai. "Why he keep saying peoples instead of people?" I asked him.

"For some reason he always had a hard time just saying people so it comes out as peoples," he shrugged.

I died right then and there. It wasn't even that funny but I couldn't help it. I glanced at Manny to see him glaring at me. Oh shoot he heard us.

I was still too busy laughing when Manny came and took the chair right from under me. My face was priceless as I sat there on the floor.

"Bruh help me up," I said

"Call life alert," Manny replied.

"Manny quit playing. You know she could have broke one of her bones," Dre said, trying not to laugh.

"You right, you right."

Once I got up it was over for Manny. He seen me coming and my ninja ran faster than sonic. I tackled him down and slapped the soul out of him.

"You slapping now? Ya mama ever told you to keep yo hands to yourself?"

"Nah. But my daddy said if they try you, give em to in the worse way," I smirked.

"Dre! Drelin?! Man, come get yo sister. Y'all got the same devious look when y'all about to do some damage. Her eyes turning colors. Bro where you at? Dre!"

"Rih let him be. Go get dressed we going to the mall."

"Okay," I smiled. Once I got up I kicked him where it hurts and left to go to my room.

"I didn't even finish my food," I mumbled to myself.

I was only in my undergarments when my door flew open. I already knew who it was so I continued to put my sweats on.
