"No, I'm not going"

"Please Silas, for me"

I said as I pouted and batted my eyelashes. He looked away only to see Everly doing the same thing. He sighed and ran his hands on his face.

"Fine, I'll go"

I started cheering and clapping my hands. Everly copied my actions making Silas laugh.

Tonight is the mid year party that the football team decided to throw. I didn't even want to go until I started to consider the free drinks and food.

"What about my kids? I'm not going unless I know someone I trust is going to watch them"

That's how he is and I love it. He always makes sure that the kids are taken care of and safe. If we're going somewhere the kids can't go we don't go at all.

"Don't worry inky my parents volunteered to watch after them. They get to bond with the kids while we eat free food"

He nodded his head and went upstairs. I followed him so I can pick out my 'I'm here to murder you hoes' outfit.

I picked up my white skirt, white tube top and my black and white vans. I added my pearl earrings and diamond necklace.

"I swear I'm only cute in the mirrors at my house"

"Don't say that sunshine, you look beautiful no matter what"

"Yeah then I turn around and I'm meet with a sheet of paper"

I said out loud. The mirrors in my house makes me look thick even though I have nothing. It gives me false hope and everything.

"I don't care what size your booty is, I still love it"

He said sending a hard slap to my butt. This boy better stop before we make a Everly.

While I was fixing her bag for the night I realised she only had a couple diapers left. It's not enough for the night. I Know my mom too. When she runs out of diapers she's going to use a trash bag as a diaper.

I would buy some on our way to the party but I didn't have any money. I spent it all on food.

"Silas can I get fifty dollars?"

"Fourty dollars damn. What you need thirty dollars for? Do I look like I have twenty dollars? Look man take the ten dollars and don't ask for anything else. The five dollars is on the drawer"

What the hell did he just do? How did I ask for fifty dollars but I end to with five dollars.

This is why I don't mess around with Silas. He picks and chooses what he wants to hear. Just the other day I told him to wash the dishes before I went to the grocery store. He claimed all I said was 'the'. He was too involved in playing his video games.

"Silas I need the money to buy more diapers for Everly"

"You Should've just said that. I thought you needed it to buy a bed full of food again"

He said while he took the money out of his wallet. I did that five times and now he doesn't trust me. The nerve of some people.

After everyone was dressed and Everly's bag was ready we left. We bought the diapers then went to my parents house. The party started at six but we decided to arrive at nine.

Nothing is better than being fashionably late. Not only am I black but I'm half Haitian. I'm going to be late regardless.

Once we dropped the kids off we made a bee line to the car. My dad didn't exactly know we were dropping off the kids. My mom told me to put them inside and run.

Silas was pulling out of the driveway when we saw my dad running outside of the house with his 'You're dead because I said so' bat. Silas quickly pulled out and pressed the gas.

"Tell me how Anthony was supposed to go to the party but Nova's parents refused to watch Xavier because she didn't clean the dishes. Anthony decided to watch him while Nova's going to the party"

Silas said while he laughed. I told Nova that even though she doesn't live with her parents right now she still has to kiss up to them so they can watch Xavier for her. She didn't believe me. Her and Anthony both would've went to the party if she listened to me.

When we arrived to the party the smell of raw fish and sewer water hit me. As if right on cue Emily and her dust mites walked up to us.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the cow of the school"

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the fish market of the school"

I looked next to me but Silas was gone. He forgot to wear his hoodie tonight so he's been avoiding all human contact ever since we walked in here.

He said the thought of Emily seeing his face makes him want to shit everywhere.

"If you would excuse me I have people to kill with my looks"

Emily said as she wobbled away on her heels. She looks like she's going to collapse any moment now. As if right on cue she slipped on a drink and landed in a half split.

Her skirt must have ripped since I saw her holding onto the thin fabric. Her friends covered her back while she covered her front.

Laughter was heard from behind me making me turn around. I was meet with Silas and Nova who was out of breath laughing at the scene that was in front of us.

Ever since Nova found out that Silas could talk she lost it. She wasn't used to him talking much like she wasn't used to seeing his face. She only found out because she caught Silas singing Everly and Jordan a lullaby.

I mean I knew she was going to find out one day. She's our neighbor after all. Let's not fogot about the time Anthony threatened to tell her because Silas ate his bag of hot chips.

"Let's get this party started" I said as I lead Nova and Silas to the food table.

I have a feeling this party is going to be really interesting. I smell tragedy in the air.
