Sanaa's POV

I woke up at around 11, to my phone playing Sweatpants by Childish Gambino. I went to my bathroom, took a ten minute shower, brushed my teeth, then put my hair in two cornrow braids. I went to my closet and contemplated on what to wear. I eventually decided on a white muscle shirt that said 'Compton', a pair of black leggings, and my combat boots.

'Mom, I'm going to the mall!' I yelled at the bottom of the stairs, towards the top, hoping my mother was awake to hear that.

'Yeah, okay, just be back in time for when your cousin gets here!' she yelled back to me. Man I was not looking forward to my cousin, Alexis, coming to live with us. She is such a bitch. I know I shouldn't talk about my family like that, but she really is. Let me take you back when we were 12, 6 years ago.

FLASHBACK

'Sanaa! Where the hell is my phone at?!' Alexis yelled in my face while I peacefully slept. Until she woke me up of course.

'I don't know, I don't touch your stuff, get out of my face!'

'AUNTIE ADRIENNE!!' Alexis yelled for my mother's assistance. I waited about 30 seconds until I heard my mother's feet shuffling on our wood floor towards us, probably upset she was awoken from her slumber.

'What is going on at-' my mom looked at my alarm clock on my desk '..- 4:00 in the morning?!'

'Auntie Adrienne, I was awoken early because of this storm, and since I couldn't go back to sleep, I was gonna text my friend, but I can't find my phone. And it was here last night before I went to sleep, and I went to sleep before Sanaa, so I believe it was her!'

That very night, she and my mother looked in our room for Alexis's phone. It was soon found in my drawer, and I was grounded for a week. So I couldn't go to a party with my bestfriend Sierra that was being thrown the following day, which was Saturday.

Alexis set me up.

END OF FLASHBACK

Ever since then, Alexis was out to get me. She visited every year. She always got me in some type of trouble. But sometimes she'd be nice to me. I never understood. It's been two years since I've seen her, and she's probably gonna make my life hell.

I left out the house and to my car, which was a white Mustang. I turned on 107.9 to hear that Drunk In Love by Beyonce and Jay Z was playing. Beyonce's perfect voice flowed through my car.

We woke up in the kitchen sayin

'How the hell did this shit happen?'

oh baby

Drunk in looooooove

we be all night..

I sang along to the entire song, plus others that came on the radio, for whole 30 minute ride before I pulled up to Lennox Square Mall. I parked next to a car of four boys, probably my age, blasting Chief Keef. I rolled my eyes, why do people like him? Although it is good hype music, he's shit.

Before I got out, I let my long, black hair out of its braid, it was wavy and slightly wet and flowed down my back and stopped just above my butt. I checked to make sure my mascara and red lipstick was intact. The lipstick faded a little so I put more on. When I turned to get my bag, the boys in the car were staring right at me.

I took a good look at them, they were all fine as hell! One had two long braids, and another had a regular short cut and the most amazing jaw-line I've ever seen. But the last one, good God the last one, had short curly hair, big, full lips, soft light brown skin, and you could see his muscles flexing through his shirt. He was.. perfect.
