"Fuck you Jermaine! Fuck you and your hoe!" Ayanna yelled as tears streamed down her face. She grabbed her daughter, Mason, and all of there things and walked towards the door. "She's not my hoe if I married her!" Jermaine yelled following behind Ayanna. "And I don't give a FUCK if you leave!!! GIVE ME MY DAUGHTER!!!!" he yelled tugging on Mason's arm. Ayanna picked up Mason and walked outside into the rain. Jermaine followed her to the taxi. Ayanna got in and shut the door and told the driver to drive. Jermaine banged on the door as the car drove off. "Where to?" the Driver asked Ayanna looking into the review mirror. "Airport." She said holding Mason. Mason looked up at Ayanna and Ayanna kissed her forehead. "Where going to LA Baby girl."

AYANNA:
It was 3 in the morning, well in LA it was 12. I heard a car horn honk and looked in the direction. My face lit up and my best friend since elementary school, Courtney ran up to me. "OH MY GOSH!!!!" She hugged me tight as Mason hugged my leg. "Your gorgeous!!! And so are you little bit." she said kneeling down to Masons level. Mason hid behind my leg. Courtney stood back up to my height and helped me carry my bags to her car. Mason held my hand. I put mason in the back next to Courtney's sleeping son. I got in the passenger seat as we took off down the road. "So...I see your having another one CC." I said looking down at Courtney's stomach. She smiled before her smiled slowly dropped. "Yeah...but I don't think I'm ready to have another one. Josh...he...he left 6 months ago and hasn't came back. And Corahn is a handful." I smiled at her "Well your not alone CC. You got me boo! I'll help you raise your kids as long as you help me raise Mason." She laughed. "Deal...But I'm gonna give you a heads up. We have a 2hr drive before we get home so sleep." I looked in the back seat and Mason was asleep with her head on Corahns laps. I smiled before slowly drifting off to sleep.

MASON:
I ran out my house behind Corahn to his house. We were going to the park to play some basketball. I tripped Corahn and he fell and grabbed my leg and I fell next to him. "Corahn! Hey!" We both looked across the street at Athena. She walked over and Corahn stood up. He helped me up and dusted me off. "Hey Corahn, Where you going?" She asked not even acknowledging me. "To the park to play basketball with the boys and Mason." She looked at me up and down. "Oh...I didn't even know that was you Mason." she said with a fake smile. I rolled my eyes and gave her a fake smile back. "Bye Athena!" I said grabbing Corahns hand and walking towards his front door. "Bye." Corahn said following behind me.
***
"PASS IT!!!!" I yelled at Vinny. He looked at me and shot the ball but missed. I groaned in frustration and grabbed the ball from Vinny. "I know you heard me say pass the damn ball! You know you can't fucking shoot! Like damn." I said walking away from Vinny. He laughed. "Chill lil bit. It's just a game." He said. "Is that Malone? Mason there goes your girl friend." I rolled my eyes and grabbed my water bottle and walked over to Malone. "What's wrong?" She asked as we walked home. "Vinny! First we lose because he sucks ass at basketball and then he keeps calling me gay! I don't like girls!" Malone patted my head "He was probably joking." I gave her the look. "Stop sticking up for him just because you like him." I said as we turned the Corner onto my street. "Malone...nvm." "What?" "Don't worry about it." I said as I unlocked my house door and went up stairs to my room with Malone. "You know the 8th grade dance is coming up." She said making her eye brows dance. I shrugged. "So." I said digging inside of my dresser for some clothes to change into. "Where going." "Nooo you can go but I'm not going." "whhhyyyy!!!" she whined. "1. I would have to wear a dress and you know I don't like them. 2. Nobody wants to go with me so there is no point in going." I said turning around to look at her. I shut my dresser with my hip before leaning up against it. "I'll go with you!" "Ew no. No offense Mel but people already think I like girls." "Well...Ask Corahn!" "Never!" I walked towards my bathroom. I looked backed at Malone. "Besides I'm pretty sure Athena likes him so he'll go with her." I walked into my bathroom and shut the door. "He likes you! I know it! I can FEEEEELLLL IITTT!!!!" Malone yelled. I laughed. I turned on the shower and stepped in.
***
I walked out of my bathroom and saw Corahn, climb into my bed room window and flop onto my bed. I finish drying my hair with my towel before hitting him with it.
"What if I was changing?" I asked as I grabbed my iPhone off its charger and flopped onto my bed. He smirked.
"I guess you'll just be changing." He winked before laughing. I punched him in the shoulder. "That's not funny fagg." "Fagg? Last time I checked I had girls screaming my name and all I did was smile."
He flashed me that 'award winning smile' as he calls it. I rolled my eyes. "Your not as cute as those girls exaggerate you to be." I said while texting Malone. "So you think I'm cute?" He asked me, laying on his back looking at me. I looked down at him.
"I never said that Fagg." I sat up and he rolled off of my bed. "Anyway...Can I show you how ima get girls? I showed Vinny and he said it was gay 😒." "....uh...yeah I guess." He walked over towards my Ihome and put his IPhone in and played take you down. I busted out laughing. "Nigga you can't be serious right now?" "Shh! Just watch." I sat on my bed giving him the dick look as he slowly grinned in front of me. My expression slowly changed as I watched his hips move in ways I never knew hips could move in! He walked over towards me and was hovering over me grinding and he looked dead at my face with a smirk. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! I pushed Corahn from over me and he fell on the floor and rolled over towards my computer desk. I fell on the floor and unlocked my iPhone pretending that I was texting Malone. My mom walked in and looked at us. "...dinner will be ready in 10mins Co are you staying?" "uh...yes Ms.Mitchell" my mom nodded her head and eyed us one last time before walking out. She closed the door and Corahn looked at me. "so...did you like it." He asked making his eye brows dance. "1. Where the hell are you going to go to be doing that with a girl?" He simply shrugged. I walked over towards my dresser and pulled out a tank top. I took off my sweater. "Damn Bee (he calls me that because beez are annoying and he CLAIMS to say I'm annoying.) I didn't know you looked like that underneath THAT." he said making a disgusted face at my sweater. I put on my tank top then looked at him. "Shut up." "I mean you got a bad body." He said starring at me. I walked towards my room door and looked back at Corahn. "Are you coming or not?" He got up and rushed out the door with me. He grabbed my butt and I punched him in the chest. "What the hell Coco?" "I was just checking if you had a ass." I walked into the kitchen and sat down across from my mom. "Mommy Coco is Harassing me." "Co leave my daughter alone." I swear she likes him. Like everything he does is just so cute to her. If he rapped somebody 'Awww coco. You raped her' and she would have a kool aid smile.
***
My mom left for work so it was just me and Co. It was after 9pm and I was stretching. I heard a knock at my window and it was Vinny. *rolls eyes* its not that I hate him it's Just the things that he says that makes me hate him. "Wassup lesbo." He said as he sat on my bed next to Corahn. This the type of shit that makes me hate his crusty ass. "I'm not gay Vinny." "I know you don't like boys." I groaned in frustration. "Vinny get out! Who invited you here?" "Corahn." He said with a simple shrug. "So where your girl friend at?" "I DONT LIKE GIRLS!!!! Corahn why did you invite him? UGH!!!!" I walked out of my room down to the hall to the guest bathroom. I locked the door and sat on the toilet seat. I hate crying but I couldn't help it. Vinny just makes me mad and Corahn just sits there and lets him talk about me. I needed some way to release my anger. I dug inside the drawers until I found a razor.
CORAHN:
Damn. Vinny! I punched Vinny in the arm. "Why TF would you say that to her!?!" he laughed while shrugging. "It's funny to see her get mad." "well just stop. She doesn't like it and it's not that funny anymore." I walked down the hall looking for Mason. I knocked on the bathroom door. "Bee...are you ok?" I heard her sniff. "Go away Corahn." I sighed and grabbed the key from on top of the door and unlocked it. Mason hid her right arm behind her back. "Are you ok?" she nodded. "Your crying? I thought you said crying makes you weak?" I pulled her right arm from behind her back. "WTH!!!! Did you cut your self." "Leave me alone Corahn!" "No...Why'd you do it?" She shrugged. "I was mad." she looked away from me and down at her right arm. "If you were mad you could have punched me. I give you ALLL permission to beat me up!!!" she laughed. I smiled. "Tell Vinny to leave." I nodded and went back into her room. Vinny was gone. Mason came back in and I changed into some basketball shorts and a t-shirt before climbing into her bed next to her.

"Your going to the dance wether you like it or not." Malone said to me as I leaned against my locker holding my binder close to my chest. "Nooooooo you go. Have fun." Corahn walked over with Vinny. "Co please knock some sense into your best friend. She doesn't want to go to the 8th grade dance cause she has no one to go with." "Well I guess your not going Mason." Vinny said. "I guess your not going either." I said looking up at him smirking at me. He slapped the locker above Malones head. "You coming with to the 8th grade dance." he said to Malone winking at her. She blushed. "O-ok. But I'm wearing Purple so I expect to see you with something purple on." Vinny through his hands up. "What ever you want Latino. Now let me walk you to class." He dropped his arm around Malones shoulder and walked off with her. I looked at Corahn. "Hey Corahn...Mason. Are you going to the 8th grade dance?" Athena asked. I was about to walk away but Corahn pulled me back. "Yeah. I'm going with Mason." My eyes grew wide. "Noooo I'm no-" Corahn cut me off. "Your not gonna wear green? Good. Bye Athena." He said walking off pulling me. I hit him in the chest. "Why the hell would you tell her that?" He shrugged. "You weren't going to the dance and I wanted to see you get all dolled up." "But I thought you like Athena." "Correction. Athena likes me." He said with a smile. We stood outside of my 1st period class. "You gonna color coat me like Malone did Vinny?" "...we'll finish this discussion after school." I walked into my class and took my seat near Justin.
***
ATHENA:
I sat at the cafeteria table talking to my friends about this 8th grade dance. "I can't believe he would rather go to the dance with Mason rather than me!?!" "well...Mason does have a pretty smile." Ebony said looking over at Mason and Corahn. "Don't complement her! She's ugly and acts like a boy. I guess Corahn is doing it out of pity." I said shrugging my shoulders. I looked back at them and Corahn sat down next to Mason as she hit him in the chest. "I'm going with Justin." I got up and walked over to Justin's table.
CORAHN:
I'm not going to the dance with Mason because I feel bad for her. I'm going because I...I kinda sorta just a little tiny widdle bit like her. I know she dresses in sweats and basketball shorts and always has her hair up and acts like she has no care in the world but she's pretty damn cool. She's funny, and smart, and pretty.
I sat down next to Mason and gave her her ticket to the dance. "Where wearing Pee Pee yellow." I said eating a frie off my trey. Mason hit me in the chest. "No TF where not. Where wearing red." "Y'all going to the dance together?" Duhwayne asked us eating his burger. Mason stuffed a frie in her mouth and nodded. "Yeah, can't miss a chance to see her wear a dress." She hit me with that dick look. I tickled her and she fiddled around in her seat laughing and trying to stop me. "Cooooo STOOOPP!!!" she yelled in between laughs. I stopped and she looked at me. "That's not cool bro." She said poking me. "I'm taking Ebony." Duhwayne said looking at Ebony across the cafeteria.
***
I waited outside for Mason. Vinny already left to walk Malone home. Mason walked out and saw me and ran over. I put my arm around her neck as we walked home. "Sooo...you wearing a dress? Do you have hairy legs? I don't like hairy legs." Mason grabbed my left nipple and twisted it. I screamed in pain and rubbed it. "No I don't have hairy legs you jitt. You've seen my legs. Did you ever see hair on it?" "No. But why'd you have to do that? Now I can't breast feed my kids." I said rubbing my left nipple. Mason busted out laughing then straight faced me. "Your to young to be worrying about kids. Besides your man boobs aren't big enough to satisfy a baby anyway." "But yours are." I said poking them then running. Mason chased me and I tripped over Crystal, my little sister, holla-hoop. I turned over and Mason fell on me. She sat on my torso hitting me in the chest. I wrapped one arm around her waist and used the other one to cover my face. "CORAHN!!!!" I peeked through my fingers and saw Athena. *sigh* this girl just won't quit. Mason tried to get up but I wouldn't let her. "Co let me go." She whispered to me as Athena walked across the street to us. "Hey Co....Uhm Mason? I think your hurting him." "nah she good." I said patting Masons but. She looked at me and got up. She took my hand and tried to pull me up but I pulled her down so she would fall on me again. She laughed. "Co your to heavy for all of this. Just get up dude." She said trying to escape my grip again. "...anyway. I'm going to have a little after. Party after the dance. Your welcomed to come." "Can Mason come?" I asked as Mason finally stopped struggling to get out of my grip. She just sat Indian style on top of me. "Yeahsurewhatever" Athena mumbled before walking back to her house. I looked at Mason who was on her phone. I tapped her and she got up. I got up and dusted my self off and walked inside my house following behind Mason. "Crys-Crys-CRYSYY!!!! Mason yelled when she saw Crystal sitting in the kitchen. "Wassup thug." Crystal said to Mason throwing up west side mean mugging Mason. "Nothing lil G." Mason said back to her sitting across from crystal at the island. I shook my head while looking in the fridge for something to drink. "Crystal go clean up your toys outside. Almost lost my life." I said taking the apple juice out. "But cooooo can I do it later?" "No! Go clean it up now before mom gets home. Making are yard look a mess." She groaned before walking outside. Mason was giggling. "Your so mean." She said taking my apple juice away and drinking it.

MASON:
The whole Corahn taking me to the dance thing is the gossip of 8th grade. And there's a rumor saying he's doing it out of pity. Some part of me believes that. The other part wants to believe he actually likes me. *sigh* I don't even know right now. I don't know why I'm stressing so much over this. I mean it's 8th grade, we got 4 more years left and it's not like it's prom...
I smacked Vinny in the back of the head and played in Corahns hair before taking my seat across from him next to Malone. "Why'd you hit me?" "Because...I don't like you." "Well then." Vinny reached across the table to hit me back but I punched him the chest and he fell back into his seat. "Co get your girl." "I'm not his girl." "If I'm taking you to the dance then I guess you are." "But you-" the intercom came on. "Mrs. Long? Mason Mitchell and Malone Rodriguez for check out. " I packed up my things and got up. "Where you going?" Corahn asked me. "Don't worry about it."
I walked out with Malone and we raced to the office. "Hey mommy!" "Hey sweetie. Come on you guys hair appointment starts at 12:30."

My mommy finished applying my lip gloss as Malone twirled in front of my mirror. "Baby you look so beautiful. You do to Malone." She hugged us both. "Ms. Mitchell. I can't breath." My mom let go of Malone and I and looked at us up and down with a smile. I pulled down my Gina Tricot Jenny long red dress. It was starting to ride up. The doorbell rang and my mom went down stairs to get it. I put on my concords and looked in the mirror. I looked hella good. "You look sooooo pretty Bee!" "Thanks Baloney. You like mad cute too."
CORAHN:
Vinny and I went to Masons house. Her mom answered the door and told us how handsome we looked. "Are you guys ready to see your dates?" "Yeah." "Malone." Malone walked down the stairs in a purple too too like dress with silver out lining the top. Vinny was pleased by that smile plastered on his face. Malone did a quick spin and smiled. "Now. For my daughter! MINI AYANNA!!! Lil bit who's too th-" "MOM!!!" Mason yelled from upstairs. "Mason." Mason walked down the stairs and my mouth dropped. That dress on that body was killing me. And then she actually straightened her hair and died the ends red. She smiled and walked over towards me like a pimp. I laughed. She did that guy head nod. "Wassup SHAWT!" "PICTURES!!!!!"
***
MASON:
We took like 100 pictures! First is was me and Malone. Then Corahn and Vinny. Then Vinny and Malone and Me and Corahn. Then Corahn and my mom and me and my mom then Vinny, Malone, Corahn, and I. And we got tired so we started acting a mess. Corahn throw up west side and I stuck my booty out doing the duck face. Malone did that MySpace pose and Vinny did one too. "all right let's go." My mom said grabbing her keys "FINNALLY!!!!" we all said running outside to the car.
***
We arrived at the dance and everyone's eyes fell on me. Corahn grabbed my hand and led me to the dance floor. They were playing Chris brown's wall to wall. "Dance bee." "I don't want to." Corahn straight faced me. "I didnt buy you a ticket, waited on you to get dressed, took, a million pictures for you not to dance." I laughed and started doing the shoulder dance. "You happy?" "No." Corahn put his hands onto my waist and swayed them from side to side. "Dance!" I moved his hands and he untwined his fingers with mine. I swayed my hips side to side and was pushed into Corahn. I looked back and it was Athena. *sigh* she just won't quit. "Hey Corahn...who's this?" "Mason." I said turning around to look at her. She stepped back as her girls all gasped and mumbled. "You...you like pretty?" "uh...thanks?" she walked away and I looked at Corahn. He smiled. I blushed. Roc by beyonce came on and everybody started slow dancing. I looked down and Corahn put his hands around my waist and pulled me closer. I put my arms around his neck as we slow danced in a circle. I rested my head onto his chest, he's taller than me. I felt him belly roll against me. I looked up at him with that TF? Expression. He smirked and did it again. So I did it back. So for the rest of the dance our body's moved in sync against each others. The song ended and people were staring at us. I got on my tippy toes and whispered into Corahns ears. "Is it possible to get pregnant the way we were dancing?" He laughed. I was being dead ass.

We sat in my basement in our pajamas. Malone told me all about her first kiss with Vinny. I was tired as a mug. We were watching a movie and I was slowly drifting off to sleep. "Co...you know you were my first kiss." I whispered to him laying on his chest. Vinny was knocked out with Malone. Corahn kissed my forehead. "I know. You were pretty damn good at it." I laughed silently before falling asleep.

Time: 5:48am
My mommy woke me up and rushed me up stairs. "Sweety. I just got a call from your dad. Your going to stay with him for the summer." "no! I can't leave Malone! Or Co!" "Baby. You have to go. Your 13 and you haven't seen your dad in 10 years. You have no time to pack so go put some shoes on and lets go." "What about Corahn? Isn't he gonna wake up and notice I'm not there?" "I'll tell him just hurry." I ran upstairs into my room and grabbed my 'No Rachets' Beenie and my white doc martins. And ran down stairs. I grabbed my phone and left my note in the basement for them. I ran outside and got into the car.
I was seated on the plane and I just wanted to cry. I don't want to go to new York and see my dad. I was perfectly fine with face time and Skype. I was looking out the window with my beats on. I looked to my right and saw some hella cute dude sit next to me. He smiled and I smiled back. He was talking to me. I took my beats off. "huh?" "It's gonna get cold on the plane lil bit." He handed me a blanket. "thank you." I said wrapping up in it. "You welcome lil bit. I'm Jason." "I'm Mason." "aha. Our names rhyme." "They do don't they." "You don't look happy to be on this plane Mason." "I'm not. I was sleeping with my friends and my mom woke me up and I had no time to pack so all I got is my beats, phone, and Shoes." "Damn...well you going to new York. There's tons of stores there." "I have to go to my dads house and I'm letting him know I'm not a cheap person." He laughed. "You cute lil bit." I blushed and looked down. "Thank you." the plane started moving and I got comfortable in my seat. "Here. It helps with the ear popping." Jason handed me a piece of gum. "Thank you." I said while putting it in my mouth. I put my phone on air plane mode and put my beats back on looking out the window.

I got in my dads car after he hugged me repeatedly and kissed my face all over. I looked out the window as we pulled up to a red light. "Here." he handed me a New IPhone. I looked at him. "Uhm...I already have one." "You have a new one now. I don't want you to be in contact with anybody from LA." he said as I finish transferring my moms number into the new phone. I was about to transfer Corahns number but he took it from me and threw it out the window. I gasped. "DADDY!!! What the hell!!!" He hit my thigh. "Watch your mouth." "You just threw my phone out the window!!! What the fuck yo!!!" He hit me harder than last time on the thigh. I hit him back on his thigh. "Don't hit me!!" He hit me back. "I'm your father and your disrespecting me!" I hit him back. " I'm your daughter and your disrespecting me!!!" I turned around and looked out the window. He sighed. "You are a handful."
***
We pulled up to a house. All the houses looked mad close. I saw the blinds moving around inside of the house we parked in front of. "Uh daddy...who are they?" I asked as 3 girls ran out the house and stood on the stairs with big ass kool aid smiles. I got out the car and they all ran over to me hugging me. I held my hands up in the air. "Uhm...little stranger girls. I don't like hugging so stop touching me. Alright girls. You do realize I'm not hugging you guys back right? Daddy please remove them." He laughed before tapping the one with the straight hair sides. She looked the same age as me. "Alright girls. Jase show her to her room." The two little ones grabbed each one of my hands and dragged me up the stairs into the house. Outside looked dirty AF. but the inside was to die for. I followed them up the stairs and down the hall. They opened up a room door. "Ok so this is like a jack and Jill room. This is mine but I don't sleep in it so you can have it." Jase said to me. "Uh thanks. But who are you?" "Your sisters. Silly! I'm Romeo and that's my twin Carmelo." I smirked. "Good choice of names lil bit. You too jase." they all smiled. "Thank you." they all ran out of my room through that door that I'm guessing is the bathroom that connects to the other room. I sat on the bed and called my mommy. She didn't answer. *sigh* I thought about the fact that I couldn't call Malone or Corahn because my dumb ass never took it upon my self to remember there number. I started kicking and screaming into the pillow on the bed. I got up and walked into the hallway. "DADDY!!!!" "MASON!!!" he yelled back walking to the end of the stairs. "wassup?" "I have no clothes. And when did I get sisters?" "when your mother left me. GIRLS!!!!" "Yes daddy!!" they all said running up behind me. "Where going shopping come on." They all bum rushed down the stairs. I walked behind them and was the last one to walk outside. Jase, Carmelo, And Romeo were all googaly eyed for this boy who just walked out his house. "Hey Diggy." they all said in unison. "Wassup. Who dat?" he asked looking at me up and down with a smirk. I rolled my eyes before walking towards the car. "That's are older sister. Mason. Mason that's Daniel." "I prefer Diggy." "Great." I said with sarcasm. I got in the passenger seat as the girls got into the back. Diggy walked up to my window. "I guess I'll see you later lil bit." he said winking at me. I rolled my eyes. Your not Corahn so don't talk, look, glance OR think about me! I slumped down in my seat. I miss Coco. And Baloney and a lil bit of Vinny.

Wassup with Mason's phone?" "Where'd she go anyway?" "She left to New York this morning." "What?! Why?" "She went to go with visit her dad for the summer." I walked up stairs into my room with Vinny. I fell backwards on my bed and looked up at the ceiling. "That's cold how she just left with out telling AND her phone is off?" Vinny said shaking his head. I heard giggling under my bed. I got up and grabbed Crystal by her leg and pulled her out. "Mason left?" "Get out of my room." I said pushing her out. "But why'd she leave? Does she hate me?" She asked as she stood outside of my room door. "No she doesn't hate you." "Can I talk to her?" "Her phone...doesn't work." I said before closing my door. I called Malone. "Baloney? What's up with Mason's phone?" "I don't know. Call her mom." "Ok." I hung up and called her mom. "Hello? Co I'm working." "What happened to Mason's phone?" "What do you mean what happened?" "It's disconnected." She groaned and mumbled something. All I heard was Jermaine then she hung up.

Location: Manhattan, New York
MASON:
I was walking around Manhattan carrying a few of my bags and still trying to put my apps back on my phone while Carmelo was holding onto my arm. "Hello?" I looked up and my daddy was on the phone. "I gave her a new phone...I didn't want her talking to people in Cali while she's with me..." "Is that my mommy?" "Yes...where just shopping....ok ok OKAY!!!" He handed me his phone. "MOMMY!!!!...yeah! He threw my phone out the window! And then he had the nerves to hit me! I was about to swerve that damn car around!" "Watch your mouth!" My daddy yelled to me as we walked into Aldo. I glared at him before sitting on one of those little couches. His phone started ringing and he took it away from me. "Aye!" I yelled as he answered the phone. "Jermaine Cole." He said walking off. I looked at the girls who were sitting across from me. "...You guys like to stare don't you?" "Your really pretty." "Thanks lil bit. You pretty too. All of you are!" They all smiled. We sat in the store for like 30mins. I grabbed my bags and Carmelo's hand and walked out with Jase behind me holding Romeo's hand. I saw my Dad leaned up against a pole on his phone. Then he walked away towards his car. "AYE!!!! I know yo ass was not about to leave us in that damn store!?!" I said stomping off behind him. He covered his phone screen with his hand and said something to me between clenched teeth but I wasn't listening because I walked ahead of him to the car. "You curse a lot don't you?" Jase asked me climbing into the back seat with Romeo and Carmelo. "I mean it just happens." I said shutting my door.
