Jasmine's POV I walked across the hall to my older brother's room. I knocked, but there was no answer. I slowly opened the door to make sure he was decent. I looked to see him passed out on his bed. "Get up, Josiah. Liangelo, Melo and Eli will be here in 30 minutes." I slightly yelled. I heard him groan a few explicit words. I trudged to the bathroom to perform my daily morning routine. After I was done, I scanned myself in the mirror. I had on mock neck tank top that showed a sliver of my stomach, light skinny jeans and black Birkenstocks. I managed to tame my natural curls into a half up - half down style. I grabbed my bookbag and walked downstairs.

(JasmineandJosiah) Josiah was at the table eating a bowl of Cheerios. "Damn, finally" He said while shaking his head. "Shut up, Jo. I was the one that had to wake yo ugly ass up" I rolled my eyes. "I KNOW YOU NOT CUSSING IN MY HOUSE LITTLE GIRL!" My mother yelled from upstairs. "Shit" I mumbled "Sorry Ma!" "Mhm" She walked down the stairs with her fiancee, Tim. "Y'all know better" Josiah and I have never met our real father. Our mom has never talked about him, but we don't bother her about it. We know she will tell us when the time is right. She is currently engaged to her boyfriend of 2 years, Tim. He's nice but he's had his sketchy moments. We all heard a honk outside. "That must be our ride. Bye Ma, bye Tim." We waved to them "Bye."
• • • "What's good y'all?" My brother said as he dapped Gelo, Melo and Eli. Josiah, Gelo and Eli were all seniors. Melo and I are sophomores. "What's good Jo" They all said "Where my hey at?" I pouted "Hey Jazzy" Eli and Gelo cooed. "Hey butthead" said Melo, laughing. I flicked him off. "Shut up. Witcho Lite-Brite headass". He smacked his teeth. "Whatever." My family and the Ball family have been close for as long as I can remember. We've lived on the same street my whole life. I can sadly say LaMelo is my best friend, other than my other friend, Kamila, or LaLa, for short.

(LaLa) I grabbed the AUX cord and connected my phone. Loyalty by Kendrick Lamar blasted through the speakers. We pulled up to Chino Hills High School ten minutes later. I walked straight to the girls locker room to put my bag in my locker for track practice after school. "Hey bitch!" I turned around and saw LaLa. I smiled and hugged her. We haven't seen each other all weekend. "I missed you LaLa" I said as we walked to Chemistry. "Wait up y'all!" We turned around and saw Melo, jogging toward us. "You can't leave me" He pouted. "Whatever Melo just hurry up" I giggled. We all walked to Chemistry together.
