Moving Day

I am so fucking happy I'm finally leaving Oakland like there is literally nothing out here for me although I'm gonna miss the little friends that I do have it's time for me to start my new life, all of my friends are very understanding about the decision I'm making but my mom on the other hand is trippin about it hell I don't fucking know why I'm fuckin grown and I got enough money stacked up to live very comfortably and I have a bad ass condo that's fully furnished that's patiently waiting on me so she doesn't have no fuckin reason to be trippin nor worried, I'm a big girl I can handle myself. Oh shit my bad I ain't get a chance to properly introduce myself you should already know my name but if you don't the name is Lira I'm 23 years old and I'm 5'3 but now that I properly introduced myself lets get back to the story.

As I'm sitting on this bench I hear a "aye ma" I knew he was talking to me because I'm the only one outside like one thing I hate the most is to be approached by a "aye ma" like that right there is so fuckin disrespectful so I pretended I ain't hear shit, "I know you hear me" he said "actually I didn't but since your here what may I help you with" I said "damn ma why you gotta be so fuckin rude I was just trynna see if I can get them numbers" he said "my phone is off sorry but I gotta go nice chit chattin witcha" I said after I said that I hopped in my uber ride and the uber driver pulled the fuck off I don't know what it is wit these Oakland niggas I'll be glad when I get the fuck outta here. When I approached my first destination which was the UPS store I had to finish shipping the last little boxes that I do have to my new address.

"$88.23" he said I handed him my debit card "your all set miss you should have already received an email with your tracking number on it" he said "okay thanks for your help have a nice day" I said "its my job but your welcome and you have a nice day as well miss" he said and with that I walked out. When I walked inside the house I regretted it because my little sister Aaliyah is always making unnecessary ass noises "hi Lira" she said "hi Aaliyah" I said and I walked to my room to finish packing my clothes when I finally got done I went to my mom's room to tell her I'm ready.

When I finally arrived to the Oakland airport I got out and got my bags out the trunk and my little sister and my mom got out the car to give me hugs and to say bye "I'm gonna miss you sissy" Aaliyah said "I'm gonna miss you to little girl" I said "my baby is leaving me" my mom said "mom stop acting like a big baby" I said "I can't help it my first born is leaving" she said "you act like I'm not gonna come visit" I said "I know but still" she said I gave my mom and sister a hug that seemed like forever "okay you got a flight to catch" my mom said "before I go I just wanted to tell you thank you for everything and I know your feeling some type of way right now but its time for me to show the world what you taught me" I said "yeah I know now go catch your flight" she said "okay I love you mom and I love you Aaliyah" I said they both said it back and we both went our separate ways. After I checked in and got some snacks and stuff it was finally time to board the plane as I was trying to find the section where I would be seated at I received text messages from my friends about how much there gonna miss me when I responded to them I turned my phone off and got comfortable hell I'm gonna be on this damn plane for 5 damn hours.
