"You know Rhonda told me they was hiring at the family dollar store she work at" my momma told me as I fixed myself a plate of food she cooked for breakfast
"What that gotta do wimme?"
She stopped eating her food and looked at me some way while I slapped a spoonful of the stiff grits on my plate
"Because yo ass needa get a job and stop sittin round here following them lil fast ass girls up"
"Always doing the most" I mumbled and she sat her cup of apple juice down
"Apparently the most ain't enough to getchu to push yourself nunu! Look at you! You about to be 21 with so much as a phone to yo name and I still pay to keep that on. You ain't in school, you livin rent free! The least you can do is get a job to show you trying."
"But you don't" my brother, Kyran said as he came into the kitchen and reached over me for a piece of bacon. When I looked and saw that it was actually turkey bacon, I frowned
"Why you got turkey bacon?"
"Cause kyran wanted turkey bacon"
I rolled my eyes and he smiled. I hated how my momma held him up on a pedestal just cause he actually went off to college and supposed to graduate next May which will make him the first in our family to do so
"I'm ready for you to go back to school"
"And I'm ready for you to get a job but you too busy chasing that no good boy around" my momma said to me and kyran looked at me
"That nigga tre?"
"Yeah tre. Yo sister so stuck up his ass it don't make no damn sense!" She ranted before lighting a cigarette and inhaled deeply before staring at me
"I DONT chase tre around so chill on all that"
"I heard he got shot the other night"
"See!" My momma threw her hands up "all that drama he be in. It probably was over some stupid shit"
"Ion know what happened but I just heard somebody popped him at his own shit" kyran said as he shook his head and I put my hand on my hip
"Probably one of them lil boys he be arguing with on Facebook"
"Actually it was yo nephew being ignorant"
Kyran grabbed another piece of bacon "Benji? I ain see that nigga since I got home"
"Cause he too busy chasing after some hoe he met. Milani sister that just moved out here"
"If anything Benji shot that boy because of something HE did. Benji don't just shoot anybody" my momma tried to defend Benji like he was her child "and stop being jealous cause yo cousin gotta girlfriend"
