Monti packed two of his suitcases as quick as he could and was ready.

Monti: i guess this vid gon have to wait.

Dad- GET YO IGNORANT, LAZY ASS DOWN HERE!! YO SISTERS AND BROTHERS ARE WAITING!

He got to the cab and they set off for a two hour journey to the Airport. When they arrived and hopped on the plane Monti put on his Airpods and started to listen to rap.

Dad: aye Carlissa, tell Monti to take that shit off, they want us on Airplane mode and shit.

Carlissa: *gives Monti a nudge* Dad said something bout yo phone and airplane mode.

Monti: *kisses teeth* fine, fine.

The plane heads up and makes its way to Florida. In the space of an hour, they get off the plane, their driver gets them to their destination and they put all the suitcases down.

Dad: HURRY UP, TIME'S FLYING. *sighs* son look, i dont care if you don't want to play bball i just want you to secure your life, and do something worth being proud of, if you are unsure then what will happen when you're an adult and still unsure? Just plan ahead of time..

Dad walks into the car whilst Monti walks slowly to it.
