Our birthday was tomorrow and I was excited to be with family again. We were on our way to our hair appointment and then the mall to get each others gift. Since I've saved over 900 from allowances in the last 6 months I decided on getting our small immediate family matching neckalce/chains. I was using our most recent family picture that we took on Mother's Day. It was one of the off guards that we all agreed looked the best. On the chain/necklace it was a quote our father was known to say "Love the family God gave you because you never know when he'll need them back". He told us that no matter what love your family, forgive but don't forget but when their time was over that was it. I wanted us to all have a piece of each other no matter where we went in life. Also I was gifting Khya with a new make up and nail kit since she wanted to be a cosmetologist. I knew she was going to love her gifts. Our mom and Khyler came to the mall with us while Kyndall went to our grandparents house. Luckily for us Mickey was out of town for the next week so we could have our mom to ourselves without feeling like we were sneaking. I didn't want any of them to see their gift so I told them I was going to get a cinnabon. I went and picked their gift and had to go to cinnabon but decided to get Khyra's gift while I was actually that way. I ended up running into JaMar and his bestfriend. I knew if Khyra seen him she would throw a fit since she said he was always popping up out of nowhere. I was going to keep walking until one of them started yelling my name. I turned around and pretended this was my first time seeing them. "Hey, what y'all doing here?" Instead of JaMar talking his friend spoke up, "Lover boy here came to find your sister a "friend gift" so he say. I just came for the food." I knew my mom had invited JaMar to the dinner because he had messaged me on instagram and asked me what Khyra liked. "Oh okay. Well I've got to get going. I'm supposed to be meeting back up with them for a quick lunch before we get our hair done. Oh and JaMar dress nice. Our family is going to be there and talking." I walked away to head to the food court when I heard them following me. Khyra is going to think I set this up. 

When I reached the food court I went and ordered Taco Bell and went to find a table at the semi packed area. "Yo my mans is sweating yo sister hard. I've never seen him this way over nobody." I looked behind me and seen his friend. I didn't know his name nor did I care to know. "That's nice to know but every guy say that. JaMar already knows if he hurt my twin IF she lets him in he's gone have hell to pay." He looked at me amused like he didn't think someone like me could ever hurt somebody and typically it was that way. Usually Khyra was the one who swung first but better believe I was right there after the hit connected. Our mom told us girls were going to try to fight us  because we were pretty and we were twins and although we didn't believe her we had the most problems when we started high school. One girl got mad at Khyra because there were rumors that JaMar liked her and the girl and her friends had tried to jump Khyra at lunch. I had stopped to put my books in my locker when one of our friends, Michelle, came and said that was Khyra was getting ready to fight 6 girls. I think I made it to the cafeteria in less than 30 seconds. When I seen them standing near Khyra I walked up and tried to pull her back. When she turned to me one of the girls had shoved her into me. She turned around and the girl JaMar was "dating" tried to slap her. After that me, Michelle, and Khyra went in. 2 on 1 for the three of us and we didn't lose. Since then the girl always tried to fight Khyra and Khyra was willing to fight but I always reminded her that we won the first fight and we were outnumbered. 

He went to say something until my order was called. I walked up to get my food and condiments I was going to need before I spotted my mom and sisters sitting at the table near by. I walked up to them when Khyler asked who the boy was. I told them one of JaMar friends and Khyra rolled her eyes like I knew she would. "Khyra don't be that way. He's a good boy. I like him", our mom told her. Khyra didn't say anything instead she busied herself on her phone. We made samll conversation until it was time to head to our appointment. Mom and Khyler was also getting their hair done but by another girl who worked in the salon. I walked over to Khyra when I saw her holding her phone up to me showing me a picture of a girl with pinkish red hair. I know she wanted to go for a new look so I agreed. After being in the salon for almost 3 hours we were all finally done. Mom approved of our hair color and even decided to do her highlights a redish brown color. I just hoped mom didn't have anymore plans because I was tired. Unfortunately sleep was nowhere near on my agenda because mom wanted to go to the party store and get decorations for our hotel room. She decided to get a conjoined room so she was still able to monitor what was going on. Mom said she wanted the room decorations to be a surprise so we stayed back in the car. After a half hour mom was finally walking out with a cart full of bags. We both stepped out to help her before she pushed us away. We finally headed home and when we pulled up I rushed inside to go take a nap. It was going to be a long weekend.
