 "Robby get your ass out of bed!" my mom called out. I jumped out of bed like I ain't never heard ass before. In fact, I get lots of it. And just when i'm putting on my shirt my brother Chad comes in naked. "Hey man! Feels good to be naked on this fine Monday morning." "Aw c'mon man I can see your dick!" I said covering my eyes. "You've my dick plenty of times. Touched it, smelled it, do you want to taste it?" 

"Hell no man! Get out my goddamn room!" I yelled. Chad studied me for a second like a did something wrong. I ain't do nothing wrong so he need to chill. He walked out and went back to his room. "Thank God that's over with." I said to myself. "Robby come down here and eat your breakfast!" my dad yelled. I laughed. I noticed that my household wasn't very normal. You know how most households have the American Dream. A man with his job, his stay at home wife, and their son who plays baseball. Well my dad is stay at home, my mom is the one with the job, and they have a lotta little naked babies running around here with no common sense.

"Robby! C'mon we're going to be late!" my little sister Lilah yelled. Is it wrong or is it that everyone yells around here. So 30 minutes or so passes and we finally arrive at school. I walk in all confident and shit. Like I'm actually something. "Wassup homie." my best friend DeAndre says. He goes with my sister Lilah. Can you believe it? But I'm not gonna be that hoe who wants to break them up. Cause I ain't shit.

And I can't forget that DeAndre will kick my ass anywhere, any how and any way. "So where's Lilah?" he asked like he actually cared where she is. "I dunno. She's your girlfriend." I snapped. "Well I guess that's true." he snapped back. "Do you guess or do you know." I snapped beginning to have an attitdude. Luckily Lilah walked up. If she didn't, then we might have been argueing.

"Hey guys! Whatcha guys talking about?" she said as if she didn't feel the tension. "Nothing. I actually have to go to class." I said beginning to walk away. When he thinks I'm far away enough, he says, "What the hell is his problem." I wanted to just walk away but my mind wouldn't let me. I turned around and said, "You wanna know what my problem is! You are all nonchalant over my sister and didn't ask me if I gived a damn! That's my problem!" Then I walked outside because everybody was staring.

Lilah walked outside right where I was. "Oh now that was unbelievable." she said. "I know right. Can you believe DeAndre. Sometimes he can get on somebody's nerves." I said. "I was talking about you, Robby. If you think that you can go around cursing people out then you're wrong. And if you felt that me and DeAndre going was wrong, why didn't you say anything? But let me tell you now. Don't bother to ask because I really don't give a f_"

"Ok. Hold up." I said interupting her.  "I think you and DeAndre going out is wrong. I hate every idea. You're my little sister." "Okay but your little sister needs love too. Your little sister wants to be happy too. So give him.....no better yet, give us a break. Please." I looked at her. I looked at her because she actually made sense. I was getting in the way of her happiness. 

I gave her a hug and walked back inside. I went to find DeAndre. Then I saw him walking out the bathroom. I walked up to him and said, " Look man. I'm sorry. I got kind of ticked off. Can you forgive me?" I said with a weak smile. He laughed. "Yeah man. I was never mad." We dapped and walked to class together. Like nothing ever even happened. That's how a friendship should be. A perfect friendship.
