"Amen," my dad ends the church service with a prayer.
"Amen," we all say in unison.
We've been here for about four hours and I'm completely over it.
"All that loud screaming and preaching for what?" Nia nudged my shoulder.
I shook my head watching my dad shake the hands of all the church choir members.
"You tryna come over after this?" She asks.

We say hello to some of the church guests before getting the hell out of there.
"Hey stop by my house so I can change real quick,"
"Alright,"
We get to my house and I quickly change.
I put on some leggings and a T-shirt because I just wanted to be comfortable.
"Hey since the mall is back open, let's go there," Nia said.
"I thought you wanted to go to your house,"
"I know but I don't wanna hear my mom go on and on about today's service,"
"I get it," I nod.
"Soooo Panda Express or Canes?" I ask.

"So how's school been?" She dips her fry into the sauce.
"Bitch we go to the same school," I laugh.
"I know but we only have 3 classes together,"
"I mean it's good. Senior year is a lot more chill than I thought it would be,"
"You're right about that, " she nods.
"I heard you got a new boyfriend," I chuckle.
"Girl we're just talking, but I've gotten some recent tea on you,"
