       Erica p.o.v.

Hey my name is Erica I'm 17 years old And I'm a brown skin beauty 😝I'm  5'2 i have naturally curly hair as well . I never knew who my biological daddy  but I did grow a bond with my younger sister father that was until he was  looked up for something so stupid I go to Hill Crest highschool I live with my 35 year old mother and my 14 year old sister kya, my household is not like a regular household my mother go's out every night and she thinks I think she's working...... She is   working alright.
I'm basically the mother around here I watch after  my bad ass sister Kya when my mama isn't around. And she hangs out with this ghetto ass girl she calls her bestfriend I been trying to tell her something not right about that girl she gives me a bad vibe she not up to any good but she don't listen they get into trouble all the damn time I wouldn't say they it's always Kya in the trouble mostly

It was a Sunday the last day of the weekend before we went back to school on Monday. I was at home mama was laid out on the couch knocked out  before she went to work later and I was in my room bored out of my mind and Kya was outside in the front of the house with her friends, and then my phone rang it was my friend Tyresha........

Me: hello

Tyresha: hey gurl wyd

Me: nothing  in this house aint doing shit

Tyresha: come hang out with me

Me: yea only if you coming to get me ,mom's car ain't got no gas

Tyresha: sure if you got some gas money

Me: bitch how you gon invite me out and ask for gas money too

Tyresha: Ughh fineeee bitch it's not like you give me any usually anyway

Me: Damn !

Tyresha: I'll be there in 10mins tho

Me: Ight bye

I loved tyresha she was my bestfriend  she's  5'4  dark skin she got long hair because she wore weave mostly but it ain't nothing wrong with that  .She has always been  there for me when I needed her she never let my down and she never gave reason not to believe her. And that's why she's my bestfriend .
As I walked outside my front door to the summer scenery my sister and her friends were  there and one of them  had the nerve to ask me where the hell I was going I couldn't do nothing but laugh cause who she talking to ......

Tee tee: where you going Erica

Erica: 😂😂

She didn't have any response hell I wouldn't either

Erica: Kya be in the house by 8:00p.m

Kya: 8:00p.m. mann its still gon b light outside

Erica: ight 11:30p.m. and you better be in the damn house

Kya: ight

Tyresha finally got here and it took longer than 10mins more like 20mins ha ass never on time

Tyresha:  Erica come on

I walked over to her car and got in

Erica: yo ass took longer than 10mins

Tyresha: my bad girl I had to make a quick stop

Erica: ummm hmmm where we going

Tyresha: to a party with a couple people I kno

Erica: a party with a couple people is not a party and party's usually don't start at 5:40p.m. in the damn evening

Tyresha: Well shit a hangout spot

When we got there it was hella  people in the front of the house  it looked more like a bbq but no damn food . In the inside of the house it was just more people a lot of guys too .It was a guy who called out to Tyresha  and she walked over to him and I followed behind because I didn't know where the hell I was going

Mike: Aye Tyresha

Tyresha: Hey babe

And she leaned over and kissed him and she introduced me to him and his brother......

Tyresha: baby this my bestfriend Erica

Mike: hey how you doing

Erica: hello

Marshawn: How old are you beautiful

Marshawn: Lol you funny

Me: Naw you just laughing cause I'm right lol but it's cool I understand you do what you gotta do

Marshawn : I like you shortie you alright

Me and Marshawn had a decent conversation and I found out him and Mike were really step brothers and they were drug dealers too which I already figured. Until Tyreaha called my name and it was 11:23 p.m. I had to get home mama was probably out like normal and I knew Kya was still out in the streets when I told her lil bad ass to be in the house by 11:30p.m.....

Tyresha:  Erica come on we headed out

Me: ight I'll see you later Marshawn 

He told me we should hang out another time and we exchanged numbers .Then me and Tyresha left the house ......
