Thank you, Kenzie (wit yo wanna be smartass) for correcting me. Candace isn't anorexic, she's bulimic.
The alarm clock woke me up once again this morning. I did my routine and headed out the door.
I bumped Lil Uzi Vert on the way to Granny's house. When I got there, I said "knock knock" before coming.
"What I tell you boy!" Granny yelled with a skillet in her hand.
"I didn't feel like waiting, my bad."
"Alright, and I won't wait to put a big knot upside your hard head."
"It's that serious?"
"Yes sir, it is. Try me boy. When is my Candy coming back to see me?"
"I don't know, I'll ask her when I get to school. Why does your granddaughter take all day to get ready?"
"So she can look cute for her little friend."
I raised my eyebrow. "Who?"
"I know she done told you bout Kourtney. She tells everybody she meets about her 'bestfriend'."
I just shook my head. "Where's mama?"
Granny smiled. "You ain't never asked about that woman. She sleeping in this morning."
"I was just wondering, that's all."
"Well you just keep wondering baby. It's a good thing to wonder."
"COME ON RY!" I yelled up the stairs.
"I'm coming." She replied with an attitude.
"Migos might've said pipe it up, but you need to pipe it down when you talking to me lil bit."
She mugged me, which I returned. "Let's go." She said. "Bye Granny."
"Bye pumpkin, y'all have a good day."
We got into the car and were off to school.
"You been practicing for that play?" I asked.
"Yupp, every chance I get. I'm going to get the lead. You're gonna be there when I do, right?"
"Duh lil girl, why wouldn't I be?"
Ryan shrugged. "Just asking."
"Yeah right. So... How did you feel about yesterday?"
"I feel good. I got that word you said."
"Closure."
"Yeah that. Are you okay? That's the first time I've ever seen you cry."
"I'm straight. And I wasn't crying, mama accidently poked me in the eye." I lied.
"Mhmm, whatever you say."
"Yeah whatever I say, so get ya ass on out my car and have a good day."
"Bye negro." Ryan waved while getting out the car.
"Bye lil girl."
