It's twelve in the afternoon and I've been doing nothing but chores all morning. Just two days ago Dragon put us in charge of the gang and it looks like I'm already finding any excuse to stay home.
Like I said, I never signed up to become a gang leader but what did I expect. I should have never joined in the first place.
I was close to being done mopping when the blasting music from the speaker cut off meaning someone was calling.
It's my best friend Melissa.
"Hey loca," I answered with a smile.
"Ronnie you finally answer! I tried calling you all day yesterday but you never picked up. You had me trippin', bitch," she yells all at once.
I bite my lip to hold me from laughing. Melissa is that girl that worries too much.Every time I don't answer a call or a text she immediately thinks I'm dead or some shit.
She isn't in the gang but she talks to everyone and is currently in a relationship with Raul.
"You called one fucking time bitch calm down! And I didn't pick up because I was busy all day," I explained.
"Tell me about it. The entire barrio already knows you and Diablo are in charge now. Why did you accept, Veronica?"
"Because I had no choice," I mumble as casual as possible.
She sighs, "well there's no turning back now."
"Nope there isn't."
A pause.
"Anyways," she says changing the tone completely, "what time are you going to the party?"
"Party?" I frowned. "Oh yeah, it's Raul's birthday today huh?"
"Yes! You're still coming right?"
"I don't know with all that's been going on lately I don't don't think so" I mumble.
"It's not really going to be a party... more like a kickback. Maybe drink a couple beers and just enjoy the night nothing crazy," she replies. "Oh and we have to get dressed up."
I groan, "Mel, really?"
"Yes Ronnie! We gotta look sexy for our man. It'll be fun. "
"Okay fine!"
"Yes! I'm so fucking excited now!" she shrieks. "But aye can you pick me up from work today? I get off at three."
"Yeah sure."
And then the call ended shortly after.

After exactly two hours of getting ready I finally finished. I never wear makeup besides a little bit of mascara and eyeliner for my eyes. Whenever I do wear makeup though I go all out.
[Veronica's Outfit Above]
Thank god I got Raul an early birthday present, the newest Iphone since I accidently broke his last one, or else I would have been going crazy.
Just as I begin putting all my makeup to its place Geo comes into my room.
"Hey don't you know how to knock?" I snap.
"Don't you know how to lock a door?" his smartass snaps back.
I give him a look.
"I'm just playing damn I'll knock next time."
"Whatchu want?" I asked getting my purse so I could get going to pick up Melissa.
"I need a ride to Raul's pad for the kickback," he rumbles.
