            "Kohlaia Muhammad" I heard my grandma say, right before I heard my curtains open. I sat up and see her looking out the window. She looked at me "good morning," she smiled. Grandma was a very beautiful black lady, she let her hair go all grey, she was kinda short and has been married to my grandpa for 34 years, she is my sun, her name was Aashi, which meant smile in Hindu.
"It's Saturday" I whined rolling over, only to meet my floor, well me, Kofi, and Jamison's floor. Kofi and Jamison are my cousins who I share a room with, Kofi is fifteen years old, two years younger than me, she is the daughter of my uncle Red, who also has Trey, but I call him T who is seventeen also practically my twin and Kai who is twenty-one. Jamison is a twelve year old boy and is the son of my uncle Emmanuel, who is also the dad of Jamir who is twenty, and Raymond who is sixteen, Emmanuel is my only uncle married, his wife is 
Taran Sosa-Muhammad, she is thirty nine and is Mideastern.
"I don't care you need to be there ready for tomorrow" grandma brought up things I didn't want to hear. My dad is getting married to this Korean women named Lee Moonlight, come to think of it I have only heard of her, I've never met her in person. They met about three months after the death of my mom, I wasn't angry at him for moving on so quickly, because Moon made him happy and that's all I could ask, even though I still haven't moved on yet. Almost a year ago my mom got cancer called Leukemia, I slowly watched my mom die. That's why I don't let people in, I have my circle why would I need anymore. The months after my mom's death were the hardest times of my life, my graded in school dropped that's why I'm homeschooled, well my cousins bring home my homework and take it back whenever I'm ready to go back dad says I can,  during that time our house fell apart, I cried myself to sleep every night. I still am scared from that. We moved in with my dad's family, Emmanuel's family, Red's family, my dad's sister Ida, and her two sons Sebastian who is four months old and Zuri who is a one year old, my two great aunt's Margie and Ava who don't have kids and I also live with my great grandpa Abdul but I call him Aba. I still need to get use to my family, only ones I'm comfortable with are Jamison, grandma, Pop, Trey and Aba. I'm still getting use to the rest.
"Okay, but do I have to be there?" I sighed getting up and walking into my closet
"You know you do" she smiled and walked out. I smelt my pits and they didn't stink so I didn't have to take a shower. I put on some black skinny jeans, a white tank top, and my black and white Converses. I pulled my hair into a messy bun, I didn't have full on curls because my mom was Mexican and white, so I had more like wavy hair. I left my face bare and left the room. In the hall way I saw Emmanuel, Raymond and Trey having a rap battle. I laughed and walked past. I walked down the stairs, and saw my suitcases I pack yesterday. My smile faded thinking of what new life might be. I shook it off and headed to the kitchen, in the kitchen was grandma and Ava cooking.
"Hey, girlie" Ava said getting something out of the freezer
"Hey" I scooted past them to get a cup
"What's wrong?" Grandma asked stopping her cooking
"Nothing" I grabbed the orange juice and took a seat on the kitchen counter "Just is going to be the first time I have flew with out Dad" I admitted. Dad is in London for "work" he's getting to Korea tomorrow night but I have to be there tomorrow for the practice wedding. My family will be flying in tomorrow morning.
"You'll be fine" Ava tapped my leg before she took food to the table. Trey walked in and grabbed the orange juice from me and drank straight from the bottle
"Ewww T" I hit him
"What I finished it" he smiled before throwing it away
"Doesn't matter, don't drink from containers" grandma backed me up. I smiled and hoped off the counter. I walked down to the basement and to Ida's room and saw her having trouble
"Need help" I asked picking up Sebastian, Ida looked at me and smiled grabbing Zuri. We walked up to breakfast and saw everyone but  Aba, I looked outside and saw him sitting by himself. I smiled and gave Ida Sebastian then walked out with Aba's food.
"Here" I held up the plate of food. Aba smiled,  though he was very old and can't do much, he can barely feed himself, he still had the most beautiful smile in the world. I gave him a bite
"Aba" I called his name, he didn't notice since his hearing is bad but I know he's listening "I'm going to miss you" I hugged him and he hugged back.
           I finished feeding him and helped him back in the house, I placed him on the couch and took the plate to the kitchen "Did Aba eat?" Kofi asked me and I nodded in return. "It's like he only eats for you" she complained
"It's cause, I feed with love and prayers" I told her my secret.
"Oh my gosh!, It's 10, we need to get you on that plane" Margie said
"Yeah, come on KohKoh" Trey said grabbing my bags, I hugged and kissed everyone goodbye, I know it's only one day, but these people are my everything. I walked out of the house and to Trey's car, I got in the passenger side. I shut my door and waved as Trey drove off. I sighed and sat back.
"Hey" Jamison scared the dirty out of me
"Ahhh… where did you come from" I held my heart
"My mom says hell, but Pop says heaven, you pick" Jamison smiled
"Your weird" I said looking outside.
       We drove for a bit, but finally arrived at the airport. I got out along with the boys, Trey grabbed my bags while I had my backpack. Jamison git out and bear hugged me
"What's this" I asked hugging him back
"What if you move to Korea?" His we're muffled  due to his face in my stomach
" Well… I haven't thought about it, why?"
"Who's bed and going to sleep in? Your the only one who doesn't sleep like  a maniac" he laughed
"Your right, plus it's only one day" I broke the hug
" Okay" he stepped away, Trey gave me my suitcases
"I'ma miss you Koh" he hugged me
"Me too" I almost cried "I got to go before I don't" I smiled
"Okay, bye…. Text me when you land" Trey got in the car. I walked into the airport and the the plane I was getting on, I made it through security good, and checked my suitcases. I checked my ticket and saw I should load on soon. We were finally able to get on the plane, when I got on I put my Carry  on up and  I took a seat then put my music on and my earbuds in. I put my seat belt on and laid back since the seats by me where already full I could go to sleep now.
