I slightly opened my eyes to see my brother standing beside my bed
"What Deuce? What is it?" I groaned and pulled the cover over my head.
"If you going to Ming house you better leave now while ma gone. You know if she have to take you she gon ask a thousand questions and I dont think you want her to know about that little party you going to tonight."
I slowly pulled the cover off of my face and looked at him with narrowed eyes. He stood there with a smirk on his face.
"How did you know I was going to a party?"
"I know everything." He shrugged "And if you riding with me, you got 20 minutes."
"Can you pick up Diamond too?" I yelled
"20 minutes!" He replied
I jumped up from bed and ran into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I returned to my room and grabbed my bag, stuffing a few last minute items inside.
I slipped my feet into my Nike slides and unplugged my phone charger from beside my bed. I wasn't worried about how my hair or anything looked right now. I sent Diamond a quick text letting her know to be ready and I also let Ming know that we were on our way.
Going downstairs, I grabbed a cereal bar and koolaid jammer from the kitchen.
"Deuce!" I yelled "How you rush me but I'm down here before you?!"
"Chill." He jogged down the steps. "I was getting my keys."
We exited the house and got into his jeep. Diamond's house was only 1 street over so I told her to be outside waiting.

"Thanks Deuce." I smiled as I hopped out of his Jeep.
We had just arrived at Ming's house. I grabbed my bag and waited for Diamond to get hers before walking to the front door. Ming swung the door open before I could knock. We walked inside and greeted her mom as we went past.
"Hey Ms. Sakai." Diamond and I spoke at the same time.
"Hey babies." She waved

"Ya'll hungry?" Ming asked
"I cooked. Help yourself." Ms. Sakai added
Going into the kitchen, I washed my hands then grabbed a plate and fixed myself some eggs, bacon and potatoes.
"Mieko?" Ming's mom walked into the kitchen
"Yea?" She answered
"I'm about to go. My man taking me on a little trip to Jersey."
