Forever Friends

Aridesint Tamela Rose

I remember the good old days when we use to just go to the park and play on the swings together.

"Arie get off the swings now, I wanna go on!" my twin Aliciana yelled standing way in front of me folding her arms, swinging her pigtails with attitude while she rolled her neck.  I sucked my teeth and rolled my eyes hard so she can see. She poked her lips out and shifted her weight to her right foot and put her hand on her hip, waiting for me to get off the swings. "Fine," I  put my feet down to stop the swing and hopped off pulling down my jean dress that mama dressed me in. Aliciana had one on just like it with matching white sandles. We were just the same but my hair was in one puffy pony tail.

Aliciana and I grew up in a middle class family, with our mother, our step dad, and evil little brother. I heard stories about how mama and daddy broke up after me and Cici were born. Mama says just after we were born daddy went and cheated on mama with some Dirty Loose Whore. Welll thats what mama  like to call her. Then mama dumped daddy and daddy moved away to Georgia to marry the girl he cheated on her with.  A year later mama met this guy named Michael Hartwright. Michael was a Med student at the University of Virginia. Thats where we were living at the time. They fell in love and after he finished Med School, they moved to hot and sunny Phoenix Arizona.  Mama said those were some of the happiest days she had here on God's green Earth. When ever she tells me the story I always smile because I can tell how happy Michael made her. Two years after they had settled down in Phoenix mama had the exciting news that she was expecting. Michael was shocked but definitely ecstatic that the woman he was madly in love with was carrying his first child. 8 months later, mama gave birth to my annoying little brother Jasean. Then our whole little family was finally complete.

Mehki

The only thing I can say about Mehki is that he is the most trust worthy friend I have. Out of all my friends him and I are the closest.  He's there for me always and I'm always there for him. Through every heartbreak,  through all my family drama, and through all my heated fights between my sister and I. I met Mehki in 4th grade at Hailey Grace Elementary School. His seat was right beside mine, and me being the outgoing person I am I just had to say hi. "I'm Arie whats your name?" I asked sliding him a piece of my chocolate bar. He smiled and took the candy taking a biting out of it before he answered "I'm Mehki," he smiled again and I laughed because he had chocolate on his teeth. He frowned and I smiled and pointed at my teeth. He looked confused for a second before be realized what I was talking about. He wiped away the chocolate from his teeth then gave a cheesy smile and put two thumbs up. I giggled and put my hand out to him. "Friends?" I asked politely "Friends," he shook my hand and then we both gave our attention to the teacher. Back then Mehki had these long braids I'm not saying he wasn't cute, but oh did the Lord bless him over the years. Mehki is short around 5'7-5'8 but he still was able to pull girls just like all the little basketball players that had flocks of chicks hanging off they arm. I always thought Mehki was cute but I never really had a crush on him but I always knew he had one on me. He would give little hints here and there but I would brush them off.

Now about me and my sister, we are nothing alike. Even our appearance is some what different and we're identical twins. We are both 5'3 a light brown color skin tone, except I'm a tad bit lighter than her. We have brown eyes that we get from our mother, but not the intoxicating green eyes that my father beholds. I have a C cup breast and my sis has a D cup. She just happens to develop a little faster than I do. We're not those girls with the tiny waist, the wide ass hips and big ass. I have a nice body and to get it the way I want, I wear a waist shaper and I hit them squats. If you wanna acheive somehing you gotta work for it. My sister is too lazy to go to the gym or do any kind of exercise period. She doesn't wanna wear a waist shaper because she claims her man loves her body the way it is. Which I wish she wouldn't have told me cause I could care less about her "man". Another thing that makes Alicia and me different is our hair. Alicia likes her shoulder length hair down and straight and she even wears extentions sometimes. I cut my hair short in the back, around the sides and left it a medium length in the front. I dyed it blonde to make it stand out more. My mother was furious with me when I cut my hair, but thats because she hadn't seen the finish product yet. After I dyed it and curled it she said it wasn't so bad. She even expressed how much she liked how it looked on  me. Mama can be so picky at times. Another thing that makes My sister and I different is the fact that she's not a virgin anymore and I still am. I wanted to loose my virginity a bunch of different times but always got cold feet because of what Alicia and mama told me. "Girllll its gone hurt like hell, Its gon feel like someone tryna stick a basketball in your vagina." "Baby you don't needa have sex yet besides, Its gone be like the worst pain you ever felt, and you might get all bloody and its gone be all in your vagina while you having sex thats nasty," Sometimes I think I'm just a scardy cat. But those things they be telling me makes me wonder why people think sex is so great.
