"It's my fucking birthday ! Fuck outta here dickheads !" I jumped up recording myself on snapchat

"Shut the fuck up !" My mama threw a comb at my neck making me choke up "Get ya shit so you can go to school."

I mumbled under my breath and rolled my eyes. She ain't even have to throw the damn comb. I probably got a mark on my neck now cause of her.

I got dressed in my boring ass uniform and grabbed my id. I put my hair in two french braids and walked out of my room. I brushed my teeth and washed my face, makingh sure not to miss any eye boogers.

"Can I drive to school today ?" I peeked my head in her room

"Drop me off to work, I'm getting off late tonight." She ran her fingers through her straight hair "You not getting your presents until your party."

"But tomorrow is a whole day away." I frowned

"Or you could just have some empty ass hands and no party at all." She shrugged

"You got it lady." I said before going to get my phone "Indya, Indya, Indya !" I shook her

"What ?!" She jumped up scared "What ?!"

"It's my birthday." I smiled

"Bitch get the fuck out my face." She laid back down

"Rude much." I grabbed my charger and headphones "Me and my mama leaving, you the only one in the house."

"Alright." She mumbled

I walked out and met my mama at the front door. She tossed my the keys and I walked to the drivers side. The whole ride, she complained that I was either going too fast or too slow.

"Just because it's a Friday and it's your birthday don't mean you can wild out and set shit off in that damn school." She lectured

"Yes ma'am."

"Now have a good day and don't beat up nobody child." She kissed my forehead

"Ew don't kiss me, you probably out here kissing somebody son peepee." I mocked her

"Girl please, if anything he kiss my cat."

"Ew ew ew, have a good day." I covered my ears

She closed the door and I pulled off once she entered the hospital building. I stopped at a red light and clicked shuffle on my apple music playlist. Lauryn Hill Ex Factor came on and I started jamming out.

"It could all be so simple but you'd rather make it hard. Loving you is like a battle and we both end up scars." I sang along

In the midst of the song, I got a facetime call. I sucked my teeth and answered it with a mug on my face.

"Why you got that mug on your face ?" Ben asked laughing

"Cause I was listen to Ex Factor and you just interrupted it."

"Fuck that song, girls only sing that when they into it with they mans." He shook his head "I got a question though."

"Yes you have to wear your uniform when you go to school." I sighed

"Not that, you driving ?"

"Yeah, so get your shit ready cause I'm ready to come get you."

"I need to take a quick nap—"

"Ben no because last you said that, I was waiting 30 minutes for you to come outside."

"It wasn't even my fault though, I ain't hear my alarm."
