The Plus Size Drummer Girl

Miya POV
3 months later...

"I'm so nervous. Today is PROM and I don't know how to act" I said rambling to my best friend on FaceTime.
"Girl we gon look good tonight. No stress. You and Andrew gon kill it and me and Kofi gon kill it. Simple as that" she said while getting her makeup together.

It was 9 am and my hair appointment was at 10. I decided to go ahead and get dressed for my appointment. I got a text from my mom saying my sister was taking me to the hair salon.

Once I was ready, I went downstairs and was greeted by my sister eating the food in MY home.

"You always eatin food in the house you no longer live in" I said walking towards the refrigerator.
"You always in my business apple head" She said throwing her plate in the trash.

I shook my head.

"So rude" I said while making my plate.
"No I'm not. Definitely the sweetest sister in the world" She said cheesing in my face.
"Girl if you don't get yo stank breath out my face" I said mushing her face.

"Did you even care to brush YOUR teeth today?" She replied.

My facial expression showed everything.

"That's a bet" I said grabbing my food out of the microwave.

When I was done eating, she took me to my appointment and my cousin got straight to work.

She washed my hair, did a deep conditioning treatment, and blow dried my hair. While she was doing that, I was texting Andrew.

Once she was done with my hair, I said my goodbyes and headed back home where my sister was waiting to do my makeup.

As soon as I walked in, I saw my sister setting up her palettes and brushes on the dining room table.

"You ready?" I asked getting something to drink.
"Yeah, mama watching Trinity. They in the office" She said getting paper towels.

I walked towards the office and heard somebody banging on my keyboard... Trinity.

"Trinity, why are you banging on my keyboard" I asked standing at the door of the office.
"Because Im a rockstarrrrr" She said banging her head and smashing the piano keys at the same time.

I went to my mama and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Hey mama, Cousin Brandy said hello" I said checking out what she was doing on the computer.
"Oh okay, I'll text her. My appointment is on Tuesday" She said typing.
"Any update on the jobs?" I asked.

My mom has been unemployed majority of my senior year and FAFSA still didn't take that in consideration when deciding how much money they were gonna give me.

"No, but I know God has something in store for us" She said grabbing my hand.

I smiled at my mom.

"Alright I know He does, but let me go get this makeup done by yo big headed daughter" I said laughing along with my mom.

I walked out the office and saw my sister sipping on some sweet tea my mom had made earlier today.

"Can't stop eating and drinking our stuff. Might as well move back in" I said sitting down in my seat.
"Maybe you need to start brushing your teeth" She said sipping her tea.
"Childish. Come on child it's 3:12 and Andrew supposed to be here at 4:30 for our little photoshoot."
"You must really like this little boy."
"Sissy, we've been together 5 months. You should know this by now. I love the lil ugly ass boy" I smiled.
"Ooh Chile young love" She playfully rolled her eyes.
"Girl you know that's exactly how you and Nic was when y'all reuniteddd"
"That man get on my damn nerves"
