It's nine-something in the morning and I'm awake as if I've had 12 hours of sleep. After showering and doing my hygiene, I decided to walk into the closet to find something cute but comfortable. I put on my pink jogging set with my Dior sneakers and put my hair up in a cute bun. I didn't want to do much to it since Trina's doing my hair later. I heard a soft knock at my door and walked to the front to see who it was.
"Hey Miss, I'm Ron from the leasing office. This is for the Adams household. " a tall blue-eyed, red-haired white man said to me smiling. He has pretty white teeth and deep dimples.
"Thank you so much. Have a good one." I said to him smiling and taking the envelope.
"I hope you enjoy your day." Ron said to me still gazing before walking off. I closed the door.
"Oh God I hope they not putting us out already." I said lowly.
"Bitch we getting evicted?" Angel said walking up to me while wiping her eyes.
"I don't know, shut the hell up. Mama still sleeping." I whispered to her.
"Open it, shit." Angel said while pointing to the envelope in my hand.
I signaled for her to turn and walk toward the kitchen with me. I opened while walking over and noticed that it was in letter form.
"Greetings Ms. Keisha M. Adams,
We are writing to thank you for your payment in full of $25,756.00. Your balance owed is zero dollars for the remainder of your lease.
We are grateful to have you as our tenant and if there is anything we can do to make your living experience nothing short of luxury, please let us know.

"Bitch mama paid the rent in full that's why she had to stop this semester." I told Angel.
"What? So she's not going to be at the hospital anymore?" Angel said whispering a little louder with the most horrified look.
"Ugh bitch go get the keys! Lets go to the car I have so much to tell you but I don't want mama to hear!" I whispered to Angel.
She walked softly to the foyer as I tiptoed behind her. She grabbed the keys quietly and we went to the truck.
"Girl okay so remember what happened with Ryan?" I asked Angel while she was trying not to freak out.
"Duh." She said whole staring at me with a blank expression.
"Girl long story short Kev deposited the $100k in my account because he had that on his head. It's been sitting in my account the whole time bitch!" I told Angel.
"What the fuck? Wait. So you have one hundred thousand dollars right now? That's cap." Angel said while shaking her head.
"Bitch shut the fuck up. You know I don't even play like that. Anyway, mama was sad and shit yesterday and I found a letter that said she had to pay 72,000 by Friday and I paid that shit. " I said while catching my breath.
Her jaw dropped. She knew I was serious by my expression.
"Girl so you still twenty eight racks up right now! I'm so blowed! Bitch you can finally get a shop!" Angel said laughing and smiling.
"We need to think smart about how we gone flip this!" I said with a serious face to Angel.
"Yesss! Let me go get ready so I can come with you to Trina house." Angel said excitedly. We exited the car and as soon as we got out we saw Ivy's car pulling up.
"What's up?" Angel said walking up to his car.
"Here fat mouth. What's good sis?" Ivy asked me while handing Angel a huge plate of hot breakfast.
"Shit I'm good, you know how real bitches rock." I said still walking to the door.
"Yessss thank you bae." Angel said while kissing Ivy.
"Oh hell naw. Angel hurry yo ass up because I have to be to her by 11, she has things to do." I said while pointing at my wrist.
As soon as I entered the apartment I heard my mom in the kitchen singing.
"Good morning ma." I said walking over to her to give her a kiss. She seemed like she was in good spirits and happy.
"Hey baby, where your sister?" She asked me while giving me a kiss.
"Outside with Ivy, she coming back in though." I told her as I took a selfie in the living room mirror.
"Oh Lord. Anyway, what is it that you didn't want me to hear earlier?" My mom asked me as she turned the sink off and turned toward me.
"Mom why didn't you tell me that you had to leave the hospital? I could've helped with the rent and got another job." I asked her while handing her the letter she folded.
"Girl what have I told you about snooping into my things? This is none of your business! You need to be worried about college next semester!" My mom shouted at me while snatching the paper.
"Mom I'm not trying to upset you but instead of paying the rent in full, I could've gotten another job to help and you wouldn't have had to leave Johns Hopkins." I said softly to my mom.
"What are you talking about pay the rent in full? I only paid it two months up. That's why you need to stay out of my business mami because you get things confused." My mom said to me. She always calls me mami, ever since I was a little girl.
"I'm only going to be out for a little while, you don't have to worry about that baby." She smiled and held my chin.
"Well actually, the balance is paid off ma. I saw on the letter that you can be reinstated immediately upon payment. Please don't freak out. I borrowed the money from Kevin." I said softly while looking up.
"London Chanel Collins...do you want to tell me the truth? Do you think that I don't know my own child? I know you didn't ask that young man for any money. DO NOT PLAY WITH ME RIGHT NOW. London Chanel what did you do?" She asked me while stepping back and folding her arms.
