My Horrible Cousin

Chapter 15

I looked in the bathroom, she was in there.

"Tika,  what the hell?!  You going around telling people I fought you!? "

"Well somebody had to blacken you're eye, you just better be glad that it wasn't me."

"How could you say that? Tika we have been friends for years !"

"I dont care. And I was never you're friend, I wish you would stop bringing that up. Just ew look at you, with your black eye, Im glad that you got punched in it."

"Tika you better chill !" I said

"What are you going to do Kenya Woods? Fight me? Are you forgetting that you are 18 now? You can't fight a minor." She said smiling.

I just walked out the bathroom. I felt my eyes getting watery. I was not going to cry because I was sad, but I was sooo angry !

I met up with Lenya in the hallway

"Whats wrong with you? You got in a fight with Tika?! What the hell, you didn't tell me! " she said

"I didn't get to fighting with that tramp. " I said angrily

"Well anyways,  come on, we're being signed out. " she said.

Thats weird. We never get picked up early.

We arrived to the office. It was my aunt Kim.

We finally got outside, and there was a limo.

"Aunt Kim, really!?  This is uncalled for. " I said.

My aunt Kim loves getting all the attention she can get. It's not often you see a limo pull up at school.

"It's Your birthday!  Anything is called for! " She said laughing.

We got in

"So, where are we going?!" Asked Lenya very excited

"Welll,  I'm going to take you shopping!" My aunt Kim said

"Wait no, have y'all seen my eye?! " I said!

"You will be okay!  Said my Aunt. 

Lenya took out her makeup bag, and started putting make up on my eye.

"Now Kenya,  why does Your sister have a phone and you dont? " asked my aunt Kim

"I don't really need a phone." I lied. I  really did want a phone,  but my mom could only afford to pay one of our bills.

But my aunt Kim really knew why.

"Here. " she said handing me a blue iPhone 5c. "It's already activated for you. And don't worry about the bill, it's on my contract.

"Happy Birthday! " she said smiling

"Oooooh thank you so much Auntie!! " I said hugging her.

"No problem Kenya,  I mean, you do need some way of calling your mother after you move in with me. " she said

I got off her. 

"Look, if this is Your way of bribing me, then I don't want it. " I said.

"Keep the phone." She said. "But listen, I want you girls to live with me in New York.  Imagine living the rich life. Getting everything you want! Come on! You're legal now! "

"I would love too. " said Lenya "But next month I'm moving in with my boyfriend Jerry. " she said.

"Well what about you Kenya? " said Aunt Kim, she had hope in her eyes.

"Nooo, I can't. My mom is already loosing one twin, she can't loose the other. " I said. 

"Oh whatever Kenya,  your whole life has been about making others happy.  Isn't it time for a change? " she asked.

I thought about it. 

"I think you should go. " said Lenya

"Just tell me that you will think about it." Said aunt Kim. Her eyes was about to water up.

"Okay,  okay, I'll think about it." I gave up

We got to the mall,  we got out the Limo. Everybody was looking at us, probably thinking we was crazy.

"Okay girls, I'm going to let y'all split up, here goes 4,000 dollars for each of you. We all have phones. It's 12:34 now, I expect for you to be back here by 4:00 because I have another surprise for you.  Now go knock yourselves out!"

Lenya took the money and power walked away from us. Well damn, I actually thought we was going to go shopping together.

"Wait Kenya. " said my aunt Kim. "Let me put my number in Your phone." She took my phone.

"Think about it Kenya. " whispered my aunt Kim

I shooked my head and walked away.

The first store I saw was empty,  so I went into it. I saw these cute bras and underwear only for 5 dollars!  I picked up a few pair.

A worker came up to me.  He was lightskin, curly long hair that reached to his shoulders, and a nice smile.

"Hello beautiful. My name is Jason,  how may I help you?"

"Um,  no thank you,

"Well,  a beautiful lady like you, can't possibly be shopping by herself, where is your man? " he asked

"I'm single. " I said looking through the shirts.

"Whattt?!  No way, I'm sorry, I didn't get you're name? " he said.

"Kenya." I said smiling

" Ahhhh,  Kenya , beautiful. " He said

" Yeah, but Hey I gotta go,  I only have a limited time to shop. " I said

"BUT wait! " he said, "How old are you?"

"18, today is my birthday." I said smiling

"Well good, because I'm 19. And Happy Birthday!!   Listen,  Kenya,  I'm not gonna lie, you are the prettiest girl I ever laid my eyes on. And you look special,  I just can't let you go, knowing I can't ever see you again, umm listen, I know this is a bit fast but I'm about to go on lunch break. Will you have lunch with me?" He asked blushing.

"Sure."  I said.   "I would love too." I said smiling..
