Inside

Me: *unlocks door* Chresanto. I'm back. You won't believe what just happened.

Chresanto : Hey, Syl. I just got in too. *turns corner* whoa!

Roc pov

I've never laid eyes on a girl so beautiful. Oh my gawd. Is she even human? She must be an angel.

Sylvia: -can you believe it? I called the court house to get me a consular to talk about this in 2 months. 2 months?! That's the earliest I could get. Crazy or what?

Me: uh-huh.

Sylvia: you weren't even listening.

Me: uh-uh

Sylvia: go sit over there you 2.Don't touch nothing-gco

YN: don't break nothing, and don't say nothing. Yeah yeah yeah

Sylvia: see what I'm talking about. I can't handle taking care of girls.

I know I can😏

Me: so you're babysitting?

Sylvia: until further notice.

Me: who are they?

Sylvia: I told you. Their my run-away sister's daughters.

Me: oh, I kinda see a resemblance between you and the older one.

Syl: you mean the one with the attitude.

YN: I have a name

Me: really?

YN: yeah, so does everyone else in the world.

Me: Syl, I'm gonna...go do homwork.

Syl: okay.

Me: *walks over*what's your name?

YN: YN, your richness. *fake bow*

Me: my names Chresanto. Most people in school call me Dollar.

Chastity : Hello, Dollar. My name's Chasity . I'm 10 years old but, I'm in the 5th grade.

Me: you skipped a grade?

Chasity: yuh-huh

Me: you must be a smart girl

Chasity: I am. Uhh You don't seem like a "Dollar". that name doesn't fit you. You seem more like Boulder without the "e" or Rock without the "k"

Me: I like that. Roc. Thanks Chasity.

Chasity: No problem

Me: so how long are you staying with your Aunty?

YN: Hold up, you trying to say you don't want us here long? Break a vase? Take your money? steal something?

Roc: not at all, quite the oppo-

YN; save it. We won't be here long. I promise you that. Chresañto

I heard that Spanish in the way she said my name. Shawty bilingual 😏

YN: don't you have money to be spending somewhere?

Me: 😔 No.

YN: from the looks of it, you do.

Me: I mean I do. But after 3 years of it gets tiring.

YN: if I had your kinda money, only the lord knows what I would do.

Me: tell me?

YN: tell you what?

Me: what would you do with all the money ?

YN: I don't know you well enough.

Me: not yet.

Syl: AYEEE!! What I told you? Don't speak-

YN: unless spoken to. And he was speaking to me.

Syl: didn't you say you were doing homework?

Me: I lied.

Syl: boy, get upstairs.

Me: yes ma'am.
