3 Months Later...

Jalani's POV

Dear coco,

It's now June 1st and school is almost out. Hollywood High is something else. I feel like I'm in the movie highschool musical only without the preppy music also with an urban twist. I joined the volleyball team and I'm pretty good at it for the most part. That cheerleader that started with me on my first day is still giving me shade. Her name is Toi. I don't know if her name has her all fucked up, but I'm not the one to play with. I've grown some thick skin and I'm just basically not the same little fragile Jalani. I feel like I have to stand up for myself by any means.

Enough about school. I have goals for this summer. I really want to get a job and join a gym. I wanna be beautiful and feel beautiful. Even though my family says I am I don't feel like its true. I just want someone to want me for me you know? Amir and Michael have been coming by the house lately just to chill with my brother. For some reason I can't help but think about telling Amir what I saw between his "girl" and that nigga she was with. Amir is really nice and he simply doesn't deserve to get played.. Well that's all for now.

Signed

Lani.

After I finished writing in my journal I put the pink and purple notebook back in my hiding place. I can't have people all up in my business because these hoes ain't loyal.

Anyways its Friday and Michael is throwing a party. He's also a Gemini! I heard the party is suppose to be turnt! Although I really don't party I need to get out more according to Roc, so he's my ride. First things first is the mall! I head downstairs in the living room where I see my parents on the sofa watching "Orange Is the New Black" on Netflix. This show is fire, but that's not why I came down here.

"Mom, dad uh can I have some money for an outfit and borrow the car?"

"Money for what?" my mom asked.

"For a party mom. Roc and I are going" I say trying to sound as sweet as possible.

"A party? With little hormonal boys tryna slick talk my baby girl into some shit she don't have no damn business getting into? I got an answer for you hell no!" My dad says bringing redness to his light complexion.

"Dad please! You know I'm not like that besides no guy even looks at me like that. I just wanna have fun and be a teenager for once. Roc will be there and you know you two are just alike when it comes to me. He won't let anything happen to me or anyone push up on me... Daddy please let me go!" I say looking into my father's gray eyes. I give him my puppy dog look and he eases up.

"Alright sweety. Where's your brother?" He asks while digging in his wallet to give me his black card.

"He's upstairs daddy." I say in a sweet tone while smiling like a big baby.

"Go get your brother baby" my mom says while using the remote to put the show on pause.

"Roc!! Come downstairs!" I yell to my brother.

"Lani when I say go get your bother I mean for you to actually go get him! Don't yell his name." my mom says annoyed.

"Oh well sorry. Here he comes." I say looking at Roc enter the living room.

"What's good niggas?" Roc says pissing my parents off.

"Boy you ain't out with yo little friends, show so damn respect." My dad says.

"Alright what's up?" Roc says flapping down on the sofa next to my mom.

"I heard you're going to some party. I don't care what time y'all get back sense it's the weekend, but I'll tell you something watch out for each other, no drinking, smoking, fucking. Don't do any of that shit that's gonna piss me off. As for you Roc don't let nothing and I mean nothing happen to my baby girl." my dad says as real as ever. I'm just stuck though all those damn don't do rules were for me and all Roc gets its "Don't let anything happen to my baby girl?" Some straight bull.
