Last night Sani and Reniyah stayed up till 4 watching Power. It was 8 and my ass was still bout sleep.

I reached over from my phone and saw I had got a text from my best friend 

Sani

8:03: Sani - best friend !?

8:05: Me - what ?

8:05: Sani - De got shot ! last night at like 4 , hes at the hospital , im here with him , aint no one show up , but he asking for u...

Shit ! I dont know why De asking for me because we aint even that close but Ima try and get back to clt as soon as I can.

I wanted to go shopping to get this off my mind so I got up and scrubbed down in the shower, lotioned up, put my hair in a low sleek pony and I put on a black sweatsuit from pink and my white file disurptors. I picked up my purse with the offwhite yellow straps and put all my stuff in it.

I brushed my teeth and did all the hygiene stuff and sprayed some perfume. Ms G was at work because she works at some doctors place downtown so she call time is like at 4am.

I left out the house and caught an uber to center city, while I was in the uber I texted Reniyah and Sani in our group chat that I went to center city and call me if i'm not back by 1. Because I knew they were sleep still.

I made it to the mall in the middle of the city and went straight Pink, I got some slides, a cute blue jacket, and some body wash. Next I walked to footlocker and picked up some all black 97's and a couple of shirts. Then I went to vans and bought some checkered slides and stickers because they be cute on my phone and computer.

By now is was only 11 so I decided to get some food from the sushi place down the street. It was really cheap but good quality so that was a steal.

There was an Ulta a couple stores down from the sushi place so I picked up a couple of hair products and makeup stuff. Like mascara, lip gloss, and eyebrow stuff. I walked back to the mall and walked into Urban Outfitters and got a jean jacket, a fila tracksuit, a jumpsuit and a phone case.

I saw a lot of cute decor but I'm barely gonna be at home and I can't decorate Sani and Reniyahs rooms. That was my shopping, my expensive ass, I think I have an addiction. I called a lyft to chinatown because it was cheaper than uber. I also wanted some boba and I know this really good place.

I bought a matcha green tea boba slush with mini mochi and whipped cream. Shit was poppin. I checked the uber and lyft prices and it cost way too much even for uber pool. I called Reniyah because I know she can drive, no answer. I tried callin her like 10 times and I don't know what the fuck she was doin. I scrolled down my contacts list and saw my aunts and my mom. That was a no go, they bout to curse me out for buyin all this stuff.

Ian have no bus token or money for a taxi, fuck.

There was Carlos, he should know how to drive.

I didn't have a choice, I called him and surprisingly, he answered.

"uh - huh  uhh Hey mama, wassup"

He sounded occupied but I really was tryna go home

"Can you pick me up , unless you got sum to do"

" na , where you at?"

"Ima share my location with you hold on"

"ard bet i'm on my way ma, don't move"
