Saturday, March 26, 1995

Waking up with a smile on my face, birds chimping and the sunlight radiate into my bedroom. I wake up and turn on my t.v. and the wild adventures of Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes was on. I got up from the bed and did my morning routine, put on some clothes, did my hair and walk out of my door.

Walking across the hall into my sister's room. When I noticed that she was sad, I picked up the stuffed teddy bear and threw at her catching her attention and signed:

"I miss Gracie" she signed back. I guess those two did become best friends overnight and I miss Lucky. I guess I can kill two birds with one stone. "How bout we go over to Gracie's house" I signed to her. She smiled and nodded her head. After a few minutes of her getting ready, I took her hand and led her downstairs.

We were greeted by my brother and his 'friends' all sitting in the living smoking weed. "T.J. mama said you can't have your gang friend over here!" I yelled over their overlapped talking. T.J rolled his eyes and blow out the smoke in his mouth. "Don't worry bout it, Lil sis." he stood up and walk towards me."So you wanna tell me what the fuck happened yesterday wit yo white boy." he yelled.

"Nun of yo fucking business," I yelled back and start to walk off but he pulled me back by my arm. "Watch how you talk to my ya hear. Now how the fuck do you think I feel or even the Blood Diamond feel when we heard that Lil J.J got his ass beat by a FUCKING WHITE BOY THAT YOU WAS ON A DATE WITH!" he screamed.

"First of all, don't put your hands on me like that EVER!" I screamed back pushing his hands off of me. "Second of all, someone should have told you that Lil J.J mad disrespected me and Lucky defended me so if you wanna yell at someone yell at Lil J.J. and tell him how to respect a lady cuz I ain't wanna his hoes," I yelled back, grabbed Katie's hands and stormed out of the door. Stepping outside to fresh air away from T.J and his bullshit, I take Katie's hand and start to walk to the bus stop.

The ride pulls to a stop a block away from Lucky's house so I got us off and started our walk to his house. I rung his doorbell and I hear his bog Buddy started to bark. "Calm don Buddy," I hear Lucky yell before the door swing opens. He looked surprised at first but it was replaced with happiness. "Hello love," he said and he leaned down to Katie's height and signed

"Hello, again Katie," and she waved back at him.

"I didn't know you knew sign language," I said to him. He stood up to me and said: "Well, not really but I learned a few things just to impress you."

I took his hands and intertwined our fingers, "Well color me impressed." I said to him, he leads us into his house and Buddy runs up to Katie. "Gracie your best friend is here for you," Lucky yells out and tiny footsteps started running upstairs.

"Katie!" Gracie yells making her way to the bottom step. "Gracie!" she semi yelled to her and they both ran into each other. Lucky leads me to the L-shaped couch as Gracie and Katie ran upstairs. "So we need to go over Romeo and Juliet," I said pulling out my script. Lucky scoff and playfully pushes me. "What!?"
