today i was going over to malani's with flacka because she was gonna use us as hand models to practice new nail designs. although malani didn't really care about school, she really focused on her nail business. she makes around $200 monthly, which is pretty good for a 16 year old.
our crew hardly ever came by malani's house because of the area it was located in. it was really dangerous and had the highest crime rate in the city. crimes here were so common that the news didn't even talk about them. chile, the ghetto.
i could tell flacka was paranoid in this neighborhood, but i wasn't anybody to judge since every single hair on my back was standing up straight.
"i feel sick" flacka said to me
"don't worry" i tried to reassure her "we're almost there"
as soon as we passed by malani's house, we were stopped in our tracks when we heard a deep voice yell "ayo shorties"
me and flacka kept walking, as if nothing had happened, but the guy yelled again "i know y'all hear me, look at me." i was scared for my life. i've heard stories about girls who get killed for denying a man their phone number, and i didn't want to die today.
"y'all look good" the man said "too bad y'all lightskins think you're too good for this di-" he was interrupted by malani yelling from her window.
"ayo pitó, leave my friends alone"
"damn y'all malani's age?" said pito "my bad" and he drove away.
malani was now holding the door open for us
"ignore him, he's thirsty"
we greeted malani and went inside her house and sat on the couch.
"ayo, what y'all get on mr.smith test?" asked flacka
"he posted the grades?" i asked, pulling out my phone. flacka nodded.
"ha! i skipped his class that day" bragged malani
"girl why are you saying that so happily?" asked flacka, scrunching her eyebrows.
"because while everyone is stressing over school, i'm making bank at home"
me and flacka made eye contact
"malani" i started saying "do you expect to do nails in your bedroom forever? i don't expect you to get a PHD in biology, but at least your high school diploma."
"why don't you work at a nail salon?" asked flacka
"honestly" said malani "i haven't really thought about working at a salon since i'm so comfortable here at home. my dream is to open up my own nail salon"
"without a high school diploma?" i asked, staring at her.
"well i don't need chemistry to open a business"
"well you need preferably a high school diploma to even get a job at a nail place i bet" said flacka
"and probably a business associates to open up your business" i added
"and don't you need to get your license in nailing?" asked flacka
"i think that requires a high school diploma" i said, looking at malani
"enough" said malani, placing her index fingers on both sides of her temples "stop with all this futuristic stuff, im just tryna live in the now"
"okay okay" i said "just promise me you'll try to at least get your diploma"
"yea sure whatever" said malani, in an untrustworthy tone "let's just do some nails"
she got up and me and flacka followed her upstairs to her room. she went into her closet and pulled out her big plastic container of nail things.
"okay y'all so i got these new gel polishes that i want to try on y'all so whoever wanna go first, sit in front of me"
flacka quickly sat in front of malani criss-cross apple sauce and turned around to smile at me in a teasing way which cause me to roll my eyes. she is such a child.
"guys" flacka whined as malani is gluing the tips onto her nails "i don't think anthony likes me anymore"
"girl you think?!" exclaimed malani "ever since the game that boy has not been able to leave kayla alone!"
"flacka i thought you didn't even like anthony like that. you said you liked jay better"
"well even if i have a little thing with jay, i'm still going to miss the attention i got from anthony"
"shouldn't the attention you get from jay be enough?" asked malani
"i guess" flacka said, frowning "i just miss his attention, that's all"
"well at least he's giving it to somebody who deserves it" i said "kayla needs a good person like anthony in her life after everything that's happened with jermaine."
"true" said flacka "so, malani, how's you and glizzy?"
malani frowned "honestly i don't know. one day we're good and the next day we're arguing and it's like i love him bu-" she gagged and ran to the bathroom, we followed right after.
malani was throwing up and i went into the bathroom to rub her back and fix her hair. flacka stayed outside of the bathroom with her back turned to us.
"oh god i'm gonna throw up" she groaned.
as i helped malani feel better, i noticed she had a bottle of pepto bismol on top of her toilet. she finished throwing up and wiped her mouth and brushed her teeth. when she was done, i asked "malani, have you been throwing up a lot lately?"
"yea. i made an appointment for monday to check me for a stomach bug"
"do you have stomach bug symptoms?" asked flacka
"no, i'm just throwing up but other than that i just feel like i'm gonna get my period" she said calmly. me and flacka stared at her, shocked at her ignorance.
"malani" said flacka "could you be pregnant?"
"huh" she said "i guess i could be"
"when was the last time you got your period?" i asked
"like five months ago, but it doesn't really matter because my period is irregular" said malani "but i guess it could explain why i'm bloated lately"
"girl" said flacka "how could you not have noticed this earlier"
"i don't know" said malani "i guess since i have an irregular period, i thought it was harder for me to get pregnant or something"
"do you have pregnancy tests?" i asked
"no" said malani "but we can call glizzy to bring some. i want him to be here when i take the test"
malani texted glizzy and we waited
-
"yo these shits cost me forty four dollars malani so if you not pregnant i'm gonna get you pregnant" said glizzy as he walked through the door. he handed malani the bag and we all followed her anxiously to the bathroom.
she closed the door and we heard her pee, two minutes later, she opened the door.
"sorry y'all, it's just that i had to use both tests" she said. she had layed out the tests on her sink and we waited.
"are you nervous?" i asked
"not really" said malani "i think i can do this"
"i'm scared man" said glizzy "baby i want you to know that whatever that test says, imma be right here with you the whole time." he held malani's hand and kissed it.
suddenly, flacka's phone went off.
"three minutes is up" she said
"kiari and ashanti, i want you guys to read me the results, i'm scared now" malani said, squeezing glizzy's hand.
with no hesitation, me and flacka each grabbed a pregnancy test, forgetting that malani had peed on them, and read the results.
my heart was pounding when i read the test, and i was scared and excited as if i was the one who was pregnant.
"you're pregnant!" me and flacka yelled in unison.
