Picture of Quani

Quani POV

It's been two months since mama died and I have decided to move me and Noni to Atlanta to start over. Since my deadbeat sperm donor was never around, and my mama was a crackhead that used all of our money every chance she got, I had to become a stripper. I know I know it's a big jump from one thing to the other but I had to provide for the house since my mother didn't have a job. I mean come on $2,000 a night is great money. I also had to save up so that I could take my mama to court so I could gain custody of Noni. I hated for her to be around while my mom was bringing niggas in every other night or while she was doing drugs. But now that she's dead the courts let me keep Noni since I'm about to turn 18 in a month.

I was standing at the bus stop waiting for her as I do everyday. While waiting I was thinking about how to tell her about the move. Right now we are living in California and don't get me wrong I love it here but I just want to get as far away as possible.

"Hey Quani!" Noni yelled as she ran off the bus, breaking my train of thought.

"Hey munchkin." I said picking her up and kissing her on the cheek. "Let's go inside. I think we have some ice cream."

"Wanna race?" She asked me.

"Of course. But don't cry when I beat you." I said laughing.

Once inside I went to the kitchen in our small two bedroom apartment. I looked in the freezer and got the ice cream out. While scooping it out into the bowls I started to tell her my plan.

"So munchkin, how do you feel about moving?"
"Moving where?"
"Well to Atlanta. You know to start over. We would have a better house and make new friends." I said watching her face.
"I don't want to move." She told me, looking back at me like I was crazy.
"How about if we get a dog? Would you go then?" I knew this would work because she's been asking for a dog forever but the apartments we live in wouldn't allow pets. She made a face like she was thinking but I already knew the answer.
"Ok I guess we could." She said smiling.
"Ok good. You finish your ice cream so we can get packing." I laughed. I went to my room and booked us a flight. Then we started packing. We were only taking clothes and small stuff. The other stuff we would sell and buy more when we get to Atlanta.

Ice POV

So wassup. I'm Tremane but everyone calls me Ice. I'm the biggest kingpin in Atlanta right now and everybody knows it. Right now I'm at the trap with my nigga Zion. We been best friends since diapers and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him and vice versa.

"Ight nigga you ready to head out?" He asked as he stood up.
"Yeah I'm coming." As I walked out I gave some of my dudes some dap and went out to my car. I had to drive Zion's dumb ass home cuz he wrecked his car while driving high. I really don't mnow what's wrong with him. After dropping him off, my twin sister, Kim called me talking bout her and mama wanted something to eat so I had to stop at McDonald's.

**At drive thru**
"Hello, may I take your order?"
"Uh yeah, lemme get three burgers, three large fries, two large sweet teas, and a large sprite." I said into the intercom.
"Will that be all for you today sir?"
"Um yeah that's it."
"Your total will be $10.50, please pull up to the next window."
When I pulled up to the window I seen this dusty looking hoe. She was licking her dry ass lips like it was gonna help. I'm so tired of females that think they cute when they really not.
"Hey sexy." She said
"Listen ma'am. I'm just tryna get my food so could you hurry up. I got places to be now." I told her.
"Oh um, ok." She looked a little hurt but she'll get over it. She gave me my food and I pulled off from the drive thru and headed home. When I got home my mom and sister was sitting on the couch watching some ratchet ass show.
"Aye y'all come get yo food. It's all the same so no need to fight over it." I laughed. Everytime I wanna be nice and get different stuff we argue over who gets what. I took my food up to my room and sat down on my bed to eat and play my video games. I might call one of my hoes later if I'm bored.
