"PAYTON GET UP" my yelled for the fourth time. I rolled over to see it was 6:30 in the morning.
"For what?" I sat up in my bed and she folded her arms across her chest and I did the same.
"I have to go register you and Pierre for school today" she said and I smacked my teeth.
"School isn't it still July?" I asked and she smacked her forehead.
"Payton today is August 1st" she said and I was shocked.
"So we go to school today?" I asked her and she shook her head.
"Payton yes can you get up so we can go" she said and I threw the covers off of me in frustration. I didn't know today was school. In Harlem we would go to school next week.
I went in the bathroom brushing my teeth and washing my face. Once I finished I decided to at least be cut for school. I didn't wanna get all fancy because I just didn't feel like it. I picked out the grey overall and my red 11's. I got in the shower for about 30 minutes or so and got out and got dressed.
"Payton y'all got school today?" Amarin walked in my room as I took my bonnet off my head.
"Sadly" I said as I combed my weave. I was already ready to take it out and I just had got it last week.
"Aww so that means I leave today" she whined and I smacked my teeth.
"Again sadly" I told her and she giggled.
"I can tell you not feeling today" she said and I shrugged.
"I mean it's just I don't wanna go to school today" I told her as I flat iron my hair.
"You scared" she said and I damn near burnt myself with the flat iron as I turned my head.
"My name may start with a P but that don't mean I'm pussy" I told her and she smacked her teeth.
"Bestoo I don't wanna leave yo" she complained and I shrugged.
"I don't want you to leave" I told her as I flat iron the middle of my hair.
"Are you coming to song release party?" She asked and I combed thru my hair.
"Amarin that was a dumb question I'm Fashoo gone be there" I told her and she got teary eyed.
"Did I say something wrong?" I asked her because me purposely I don't like when people cry. I don't know how to comfort anybody.
"P no. It's just I umm- I going to miss y'all" she said strutting over her words. I knew she was lying because she switched it up to quick.
"Amarin you lying but you know what imma let that slid because I gotta go to school" I told her and she wiped her tears.
"So you gone drop me off when you get home?" She asked me and I nodded my head yes as I unplugged the flat iron.
