Newark, New Jersey 📍

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear lani happy birthday to you" they sung
I looked at my family and did nothing but smiled because I finally got to see the age of 11, I know y'all over here wondering like why the hell she worry about being alive at 11well long story short way back a year before I was born my mom had a another daughter who would be now 12 but when she was a newborn she died from crib death 😢 sadly I didn't know her so I don't show emotion towards the subject but my family does they tell me how much me and her would love each other and how much I look liked her when I was a baby so yeah that's the reason why I'm glad I made it to the age 11 because after my mom told me that it really made me want to live my life another day.

"What you wish fo" kerria my oldest sister asked

"For me to be able to see my life at its fullest" I smiled
"Lani how was you day today at school" mom asked
"Well this boy I used to have a huge crush on name Arian wished my a happy birthday and gave me this.." showing them the pandora bracelet he gave me
"Awww that's so sweet of him, but I noticed that you said 'use to have' when you mentioned who he was"
"Ma that's because all the girls told me that he ain't like black girls with happy hair"
"Baby you beautiful and you hair isn't nappy it's curly, let me guess these girls are white?" I nodded my head yes "well tell them white bitches that your mother said your beautiful and at least you have culture and didn't steal anyone else's style to be seen ok and I want you to tel them just like that" "yes ma'am" "ok baby go and get some rest"

The next day
Cedar Creek Middle 📍
Walking down the hall what my mom told me replayed over in my mind I jut couldn't wit to eat these bitches straight like my momma said making my way to mr.davis class I see Bethany and Becky already seated so I approached them with confidence
"Uhmm who the hell told you to come over her" Becky barked
"Yea nigger" Bethany tagged on
"Well I just wanted y'all to know that my momma told my to tell you that y'all ain't nothing but some white bitches with no culture and steal other people's culture to be notice"I said bluntly "ooooh mr. Davis kehlani is cussing"
"is that right kehlani" he asked concerned
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't so yes I told them exactly what my mother told me to tell them" I shrug
"Kehlani make your way to the principal office to call your mother"

" kehlani make you way in my office" principal Eddy said with a sadden voice

"So tell me what happen with you and the Olsen twins"

"For starter I would like to say thanks for not calling my mom in here just this minute but it kind of started over a boy Becky and Bethany told me that the boy I used to like a LOT didn't like 'black girls with nappy hair' it hurt my feelings because it happened on MY birthday *voice saddens* so when I got home yesterday I told my mom what had happen yesterday she told me to tell them what she said exactly how it was worded to me so that why I'm here joe in your office sir"
"Now may you repeat why your mom said" he asked

"Y'all some white butcher with no culture and steal other people culture to be seen and noticed"
"Wow" he said shook ikyfl🙃
"I know I sound like I may not care but that's a lot to take in hearing a mother tell her child to say that to some 12 year old children"
" but listen I didn't do nothing bad and in the ten commandment it does say that a child should honor thy parent(s)"
"May I ask you a personal question" I nodded hesitantly

"Is your father in you home or life?"
"No" dropping my head down
" don't cry it's ok because you my or nay not believe this but I was in the same shoes as you when I was once your age I only had my mother growing up that in which made me labeled as a mamas boy I grew up in a struggle having to sell dope on the corners of New Jersey o support my mom and little sister t the he of 11"
"No go sit in the lobby until you mother gets her ok" I nodded my head and walked my way to the lobby
