Change The Bad Girl

Chapter Twenty-Five.

Normani's POV

"Normani!" Grandma yelled.

"Yes grandma." I said.

"I'm gonna run to the butcher shop and get some hot links, do you need me to pick up anything while I'm gone?" She asked.

"Some hot cheetos, please." I said with my eyes focused on my laptop.

I could hear the door slam downstairs and I looked up to see my grandma getting into her car. Now that's she's gone I can focus on this little thing I've been writing. What started off as my private thoughts had turned into a story with real characters in real situations. Not to toot my own horn but this is a bomb ass book. If I was in a bookstore looking for something to read, I'd give this one a shot.

Who knows, I might take this to a publisher and get it published once its complete.

I was just grinning and typing away when I got a FaceTime call from Arin on my laptop. I answered the call and Arin was in the camera brushing those weak ass waves of his.

"What nigga?" I asked.

"It's nice to see you too partner." Arin said.

"Arin I ain't got all day what's going on? And where's my deposit?" I asked.

"I literally just sent it to you. But the reason i called is because business has done really good here and Dwayne wants us to expand to another campus. He told me to run it by you first before he started making moves." Arin said.

I thought about it for a minute and the opportunity sounded amazing. Another campus equals new clients and new clients equals more money. Then I looked down at my screensaver, it was a picture of me, Noelle, Choie, Timmy, and the babies. We looked like a little family in the picture. For the first time in my life I had an actual family, people that I loved and loved me back. I didn't wanna mess that up.

"Arin, tell Dwayne that I'm out." I said.

"Wait what?" Arin asked.

"Look Arin I have too much to lose. I'm done." I said.

Arin sighed, "Alright, I'll let him know." He said.

"Bye, bye." I said.

"Hold up, I ain't no you had a sister. She's kinda bad." Arin said.

"Hey boo!" Noelle said loudly.

I flinched, turned around, and punched Noelle in her stomach. "She's not my sister, she's my cousin and goodbye Arin."

I ended the call and went back to writing, "Okay but he was kind of cute though." Noelle said.

"I dated him." I said.

"Nevermind I don't want your sloppy seconds." Noelle said.

"Mmhm, what brings you by sis?" I asked.

"Girl nothing. I took my last exam and I aced it. This girl made straight A's this semester. #BlackGirlMagic." Noelle said.

"Ahhhhh get it bitch!" I yelled.

Noelle and I had a quick little twerk party then sat down. "So does this mean you're graduating soon?" I asked.

"Yes I just have to get my certifications and I'll be able to work as a dental hygienist." Noelle said.

"That is so amazing Noelle, I'm so proud of you." I said.
