Heaven.

SEVEN

Friday. Personally, it's a great day of the week. I can get my weekend started, thankfully it's only a half day so we can get ready right after school. We aren't really sure what our mom has planned considering our mom didn't tell us but, it's something special I heard.

I started to head downstairs to the kitchen because our mom was making us all breakfast. As I enter the kitchen, she's basically done. She made a lot of food for only four people.. so I'm confused. Was Zi and Ms. Irene coming? Myles and his mom? Ms. Keisha and Georgia? All of them? Pretty confusing. Yet, I still sat down at the island anyway.

"Hey mommy, how come you made all of this food?" Of course I'll greet her and then pop the questions. "You'll figure out once your siblings come down." As she places everything on the counters, I text my siblings to get down here immediately. It might not be that important but, I would like to know some answers. Soon I heard footsteps entering the kitchen. "Okay, now I understand." Jonathan announced while Heather nodded her head. "Okay everyone sit sit. I have some big news." Are we in trouble?

"Okay, so you all know how we have some extra rooms in this house?" Huh? "We do?" Heather asks, "I didn't even notice." Jonathan adds, "I literally went to my room and once I knew where the kitchen and bathroom were, I didn't care enough to explore." I finish. Guess we all didn't know.

"You kids are terrible, anyway so we have a couple of extra rooms. Obviously all of you got the upstairs and I sleep downstairs. Now down here are three more rooms, two are guest rooms, and the third is the surprise. I believe only Heather noticed I came in late because she was in the living room watching some movie. The reason why I came in late is because I adopted two more kids. I know what you all are thinking, but you're getting older and I miss having younger ones around. Their names are Ava and Alexis, they have the same last name Janell as all of us and will be joining our family," She handed us a picture of them two next to each other.

I guess it was a headshot of them, in all honesty they were adorable so having them around won't as bad.

"Now Jonathan since you're the only boy, I wanted to make things more fair for you. So whenever you want to invite someone over be my guest and you can have all the fun you want because you're the only boy. So, you can be on the game all night, go over to friends houses, but you inform me and still do well in school. At least try your hardest, that's all I'm asking for because you won't always get good grades but just try your best. Anyway, girls you both are the oldest and are in charge of the twins at all times. Except for this weekend, they will be your responsibility afterwards. Do I make myself clear?" We all nod our heads. "Okay great, I will go wake them up and for as of right now, you can all grab breakfast." And with that she walks away.

Personally, the idea of two little ones running around doesn't sound pretty bad, I actually like kids and knowing they'll be my younger siblings sounds pretty cool. I always wanted to have a little me in a way and take care of someone younger because my brother pretty much has this figured out in some sort of way.

Well, that's our morning start off and then we have a party to attend tonight but I guess for the day we'll be doing something fun with Ava and Alexis.

Heather and I arrived to school with energy due to us having a balanced breakfast. We went our separate ways and since I had everything I decided to stop at Zi's locker. "Hey best!" I greeted Zianna. "Hiii!" Zianna says very excitedly. "Dang who has you smiling?" I chuckle.

Zianna is normally a bright bubbly person but today Zianna is smiling from ear to ear. "Girl what? Nobody. I'm just in a really good mood." She answers. "Oh okay, I got a surprise for you." She looks confused as we continue to walk to our first class. Our half day schedules ended up combining except for our last class so we got lucky.

"Surprise? I wanna know but I don't. I'm kind of scared" I playfully roll my eyes, she always thinks I'm pranking her. "Girlll it's not bad. It's actually really cool." I replied. "Okay, so what is it?" She looks confused. "So tell me why my mom adopted twins." She stopped walking. "What do you mean she adopted twins?!" She raises her eyebrow.

"Exactly what it sounds like. Their names are Ava and Alexis. Here I'll show you a picture we took this morning." I pulled out my phone. "Awwww they're so cuteee! I can't wait to meet them." Zianna loves kids but not in a creepy way. She just really enjoys the bond and considering Zianna is an only child she enjoyed coming over a lot. That's what I love about her, she also always made sure to never make Jonathan feel left out. Bless her soul.

"I know. I just don't want to overwhelm them because they're new to the family and they're still young so I want them to be more comfortable first." She nods her head indicating she understands. "Yeah I get it. Once they get comfortable then I'll be back over more. Hey maybe I can introduce them to Nova!"

I know the move was hard for Zi, she had to leave her baby cousin behind who she literally claimed was her daughter. Nova is definitely Zi's pride and joy, you would've thought she gave birth to her. We eventually made it to class and sat down and then started taking notes.

Eventually Zi and I had to split up and go our separate ways but now it's lunch which technically our last "class" before we all start the weekend. "Twin!" I heard as I made my way to the lunch room. "Yoo. Wassup gang" I dap up Myles. "Ain't shit, just been chillin." We talked for a bit more cracking and making jokes to each other. Myles has been working on improving our friendship which I truly appreciated. He's really like another brother and no not like one of those "he's just my brother" but we fuck on the low. He's like blood brother from another motha. Love him down.

We reached the cafeteria still talking then he made a joke. "Bruh I swear her breath smelled like straight up shit." I started laughing, he always somewhere talking mess about someone. This time was his Biology teacher Ms. Randell.

"You laughing like shit funny g, shit was not cool on god." I just shook my head then gave him a side hug before heading to the table with my friends. I took a seat next to Zi since she was already here but she had her headphones in watching YouTube so she didn't really pay attention to what's going on around her. Sounds about right.

"Hey everyone!" I say with energy. "Hey Heaven, who was that?" Kat asked. I looked back at who she was talking about then realized she meant Myles. "Oh him? He's just my childhood friend." Everyone nodded and then I went onto Instagram.

"Wait how do you know Myles?" I look up from my phone confused. I didn't even recognize a new face at the table cause it feels like hella people are here. Yet what I'm not fucking with is some random girl questioning my business, especially business I already addressed.

"I'm sorry. Who is she?" I look at the table. "Maya. That's my name. Now can you answer my question?" She asks with a raised eyebrow. Who she feeling like? "Wooo so scary. What are you two dating or something? He's a friend, I just said that. Nothing more, nothing less."

Not about to ruin my friendship because he's like a brother to me. The girl looks and nods away. Pressing me over some dick boo?

"Do y'all date?" Kat speaks up. I look at her then the girl to see her answer. This must be the girl he was ranting about all summer. "Something like that. Just wanna make sure he isn't talking to other girls." She snapped her neck at me. Bitch bye. "Funny cau- actually nevermind." I just hopped right back on my phone.

Shawty not even worth it to go back and forth with. Especially over MYLES out of all people. Considering the fact that Myles be popping shit about her and I defended her without even knowing her. That's cool, she got it. I see what he means by 'she be acting crazy' low-key. Bitches do be bonkers.
