"Zay, Time to get up" My aunt came in.
"Aight, you get paid yet?"
"No" I sat up, and pulled out $500 out my wallet.
"Here, that should take care of all the bills" I got out my bed, and threw on a pair of Grey Sweats, White Tee, my White Low Forces, and a Silver Chain.
"Zay, I can't take your money" I started brushing my teeth. I finished, and walked out.
"Auntie, you are raising 3 kids by yourself, just think of it as my end of the bargain" I kissed her forehead, and grabbed my backpack.
"No, your end of the bargain is graduating high school, and going to college" I smiled.
"I know, but still, just take it, I'm off to school" I walked downstairs, and my lil cousin Ke'Asia walked over to me.
"Zay bug, I wuv you" I picked her up and kissed her cheeks.
"Love you too princess, and I didn't forget about tomorrow" Tomorrow's her 3rd Birthday.
"Okay, be good" I put her down.
"K, BYE CHRIS!" I said referring to my other lil cousin Chris who's 10.
"BYE" I walked out, and got in my White Camaro.

~Ja'Quan~
"Jay Jay, get up" I looked at my lil sister Jasmine.
"I'm up ma, are you ready?"
"Yeah" I got up, brushed my teeth, and shit, then got dressed. I put on a Red and Black Striped Tank, Cut-Off Jeans, and my Bred 11's. I added my Red and White bulls Snapback. I finished, and grabbed my stuff.
"Let's Go" We walked downstairs, and my mom was messing with her hair. She works with Lonte's mom. "Yo mama, I'm taking Jas to school"
"Okay, y'all have fun, and stay outta trouble, Quan what are your after school plans?"
"Trap House, Lonte's house"
"Okay, have a nice day" I hugged them both and walked out. I got in my Grey Maybach.

~Alonte~
I pulled up to the school, and got out. I checked my outfit, and smiled. I had on a Black and Grey Tupac Tee, Grey True's, and my Black, Grey, and White 9's. The guys pulled up after, and then the girls.
"Lonte, what up?" I dapped Quan and Zay.
"Nun, chilled at my mom shop, and hung with Tay"
"Coo, you and Lani finish y'all's project?" I nodded.
"We video chatted and she typed it, she said she added something, but I couldn't see it until she got here"
"Well you get to see it cause there they go" I looked behind me and saw the girls pull up" They got out, and I couldn't help but look at Lani. She had on a Black and Pink "Fuck The Police" Tank, Pink and White VS Sweats, Pink, Black, and Orange Jordan 5's, and a Pink and Orange "Bad Bitch" beanie. She wasn't even trying and she looked good.
"Morning peoples"
"Hey, some one is today's lazy day" I said poking her.
"Yeah, and don't poke me"
"Well lets go, can't be late" We followed behind Quan. We walked into class, and sat down.
"Alright class, as you know, your reports are due today" Our teacher announced. "So now, we will present"
"I wanna go last"
"Up first Ja'Quan and Harlem" I laughed. They got up and started their presentation.
"What's wrong witchu?" I asked Lani.
"I'm tired, I watched Malcolm cause Harlem wanted to hang with her mom at work, and it was too late for Mal to be up, so I volunteered to watch his over-hyper ass...lil nigga had me up to 3 in the morning"
"Trust me, I know how you feel, that's how Tay was his first 3 months living" She laughed.
"I bet"
It was now time for Lani and I.
"Alonte and Leilani" I got up, and Leilani followed. She handed me a folder, and she had one. It was a Red and Grey Folder with a Clear Cover. Her folder had her picture, and my folder had mine. Everything in it was the same tho.
"You go first" She poked me.
"Aight.....Well this chick next to me is Leilani Jai Turner" I looked at her.
"And this dude next to me is Alonte Malik Warren" She laughed at me, and I started our presentation.
"So to start this off, Lani was born September 3, 1997, in Compton, California" I continued, and after each paragraph, we switched.

"Aye, I'll meet y'all at Lonte's house, I gotta go somewhere" Zay dapped us, and got in his car.
"Well to my house it is" I said hopping my car. "Lani, you wanna ride?"
"I guess" She hopped in my car. "Harlem, CeCe, I'll meet y'all"
"K Chicka" I started the car, and pulled out. I started out the parking lot, and headed to my mom's house.
When I pulled out, I realized I didn't introduce Lani to my mom.
"Stay right here for a second, I'm not getting Tay yet"
"K" I smiled and walked into the house.
"MAMA"
"What boy?" She walked out the kitchen.
"I have someone I want you meet" Her face went from smiling to a straight face.
"You better not bring no hoe in my house"
"She's not, she's far from that....it's the girl I took on the date" Her face lightened up.
"Okay" I ran out to the car.
"Come on" I opened her door.
"Uh-Uh, you tripping, do you see what I have on"
"Girl you meeting my mom, not no damn celebrity" She laughed, and got out. We walked in, and my mom hugged her. Lani was looked confused.

~LeiLani~
Lonte's mom hugged me, but I wasn't sure what to do. She stopped and smiled at me.
"Ma, this is Leilani, Lani, this is my wonderful mother Aaliyah. I smiled and waved.
"Hi"
"Hello Dear, I just want to let you know, whatever you're doing, keep doing it" I looked at Lonte then back at Ms. Aaliyah.
"I'm not sure what you mean"
"Well since Tuesday, he's been making sure he looked 'extra' good, and stop talking to his 'hoes'" I laughed.
"Awe"
"So have you met Tay'Shawn?" I nodded.
"Yeah, that's my lil buddy"
"I like her, don't fuck with her feelings or I'ma tore ya ass up" I bust out laughing. Lonte looked embarrassed. I pinched his cheeks.
"It's okay, at least we know you're smart about what you say....if it's okay, could I go get Tay?"
"Of couse, room next to Lontes"
"Thanks" I walked upstairs, and went to the room next to Lonte's. I walked in and Tay started bouncing in his crib. "Hey baby boy" I picked him up. We sat on his play mat, and we started playing blocks.

~Xavier~
"Auntie" I walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah?" I sat my stuff down.
"I was wondering if I could bring Asia with me to Lonte's house"
"Yeah, but watch out for her" I smiled.
"I got you auntie, but here" I handed her my folder.
"You got an A?" I laughed and nodded.
"Yeah"
"Good job, and Chris is at Landon's house, so don't worry about picking him up later" I nodded.
"Aight, well I'ma go" I kissed her forehead, and walked to Ke'Asia's room. "Princess"
"ZAY" She jumped on me.
"Hey, grab your backpack we're gonna go see Lonte, and Quan" She squealed and grabbed her stuff. We walked downstairs, and Asia ran into the kitchen.
"Bye mommy, I'm lweaving with Zay"
"Okay, have fun"
"Otay" I picked her up, and we walked to my car, got in, and headed to Alonte's house.

~Harlem~
Everyone had finally arrived at Lonte's house, except Lonte, and Lani.
"I wish his slow ass would hurry up, damn" Zay complained, the little next to him pinched him. "Ow Asia"
"Mommy said you not suppwosed to be cussing"
"Alright princess I'm sorry"
"Mhm"
"You not gone tell auntie on me are you?" He looked sad, and it was hilarious.
"No"
"So you stay with your aunt and cousins?" CeCe asked.
"Yeah"
"Zay, who's she?"
"That Cece, Harlem"
"Y'all are pretty"
"Thank you, you're pretty too" She came and sat between me and CeCe.
"We're back" Alonte, and Lani walked in with Tay.
"Bout time"
"Hey Lonte" Asia ran to him.
"Wassup Ke Ke?" Everyone sat in the living room, and we just started chatting.

~Leilani~
Harlem and CeCe left cause Zay and Quan were taking them on dates, at two different places of course, so I picked up Mal, and we stayed the night and hung with Lonte.
"Lani, can you braid my hair up?" Malcolm sat next to me.
"Sure" I braided his hair, and he went upstairs......somewhere.
"Well Tay's sleep, and I'm bored, what you wanna do?" Lonte came outta nowhere.
"I'm already doing something, watching NCIS, you can get some food and join" He sucked his teeth, and walked into the kitchen.
"Don't eat all my food now" He came back with everything, and we started watching tv. I soon fell asleep after the 12th episode.
