Chapter 1 • Too Worried
"Come on Tanya & Teresa. Y'all mama just said it's time to go. And make sure y'all get that baby powder to get that sand off y'all cause it really works." Topanga yells at me and Teresa, my 14 year old sister.
Topanga has been my bestfriend since we were sucking on pacifiers. She and her parents came are from Canada. Our parents were best friends for a while and gave birth to me and Topanga 10 minutes away from each other. I was first at 11:58 pm on December 7th and she came out at 12:08 am on December 8th. And since our parents knew each other for a while, my mama named me after Topanga, which is my middle name.
Teresa is my second bestfriend. She looks mostly like my daddy. She has a nice skin complexion and has natural nappy hair. She slapped me when my mama wanted me to comb her hair out after she took her hair out. Teresa is also mean. Sometimes to me but other than that she's ok. And since she's my sister. So I guess I love her.
"Ok" Me and Teresa shout back.
"Tanya where are my seashells?" Teresa asked.
"I put them in your bag. Now come on mama and Topanga are waiting." I said, and she nodded.
After applying the baby powder on ourselves we ran to the car. My dad didn't feel like getting in the hot sun so he stayed in the car in the driver's seat.
There are three rows in our Dodge Durango. Teresa sat on the middle row and Topanga and I went to the back.
My dad started up the truck. "Who's hungry? Anyone?" My dad said backing up the truck.
Everyone said me so my dad said McDonald's should do.

Everybody ate their food and made our way back home.
"So, May is creeping up on us. Let's go out to the mall, and after we could do something for fun." Teresa said.
"Ok boo. I'm going to sleep for now."
"I'll wake you up." She said closing her eyes. And then I went out on the window.
~
"Wake up baby girl." A familiar voice said.
I woke up tired and groggy. That was Topanga who woke me up. She handed me my iPhone 6s and charger and let the seat down for me to get out.
"Hey can you stay the night with me please?" I whined.
"Sure. I don't have anything better to do." She said.
It was already night time so I just gave her a tank top and she just had her panties cause all my shorts were too small for her. And I wore the same thing.
Before we got in the bed, she gave me a tight hug.
"I love you girl. Don't forget it." She smiled.
"I love you too best friend." I said.
We hoped in the bed and trailed off.
~
I woke up to my room light on above me and hands shaking me.
"Alright I'm up TT." I said sitting up in the bed. That's my nickname for her.
She threw me some clothes. I got up and rushed to put them on. When I did I noticed that Topanga and I have on the same fit.
"We look sexy, Tanya!" She said fiercely. She put on her purple vans and so did I.
By the way, the outfit they had on was a purple tank top, galaxy joggers, and yeah the vans.. oh and a Michael Kors watch. c:
I already did make up and hygiene things. I grabbed my purse and stuffed my phone & charger inside along with my wallet. I have my own car, so we used that.

"Plan on dating someone, T? This is your last year of high school ya know.. " Topanga stated turning on the radio to 107.9 ( the best radio station )
"You know, I'll be too busy with my life and the rest of my work. I want an education and be successful. I don't wanna be a drop out from high school and a prostitute." I said getting worried.
"T!! School ain't even ended yet and you already talking bout it. But babe, I'm telling you if you don't find a boy by the end of the week that you like, I'm killing you. I want us to give birth together like our parents did." She whined.
"I know I know.. I'll try Topanga." I said putting both hands on my steering wheel.
~
We made it to the mall and walked to Journeys. They have the good shoes. I grabbed me a pair of black Timberlands. I paid and Topanga rushed me into foot locker and bought some black and white Hoorachis.. (however you spell it)
We went up and paid and left. Standing outside out Footlocker we were trying to figure out where else to go.
"Ooh! Food court! My behind is hungry!" I said running to the Chick-Fil-A room. I ordered a chicken sandwich and Topanga got some fat chunks of chicken.
~
We got our drinks to go and make our way back home.
~
We made it back to my house and I threw my junk in my closet and Topanga put hers on the side my bed.
"Topanga I don't want to go tomorrow. I'm like so scared I won't make it out of high school. And you know how people were saying trash about me calling me a nerd and all that other mess" I whined.
"TANYA!! I better not here nothing like that EVER come outta yo mouth ever! You ain't supposed to say that. Your my nerd. Nerds are smarter than the others baby girl. Don't worry about that. And if I hear some ISHH they won't have a mouth to say ISHH no more!" She said punching her hand.
"That's why I love you Topanga.." I said smiling.
"That's why your my bestfriend. And I love you too." She said. She reached over the bed and squeezed my body tight.
We told eachother goodnight and pray we could make it pass our last year of high school with no problems.
