Few weeks later

School was finally over and I was headed to get my bag out my locker. I was so happy to go but that went out the window when I remembered I have work right after. I closed and locked my locker and begin walking downstairs to the first floor.

Nothing happened these past few weeks except my dad continuing to be on my ass about the littlest things. So was my mom but luckily she laid off me a for awhile. So most of the time I'll be with Anthony or the girls.

Even though I still kind of felt some type of way about him still talking to Monica about her baby, I had to mind my business. He told me that they taking the test after the baby's born.

After the big fight at the community park, I haven't seen Candice here at all. I see Jared sometimes and those times he'll be staring or trying to talk to me. And from what I heard there was a video of the whole thing but I haven't seen nothing yet.

Anthony was barely talking to me and would be too busy to talk or hang out. But today he apologized and said he was gonna pick me up.

     "Naeeee." Someone shouted, making me turn around. It was my girls.

     "You riding with us home or your man picking you up?" Chilli smirked, making me blush.

     "He's picking me up Chilli." I chuckled, shaking my head.

      "Okayyy. You got work don't you?" Chrissy asked and I nodded.

        "Awww we wanted to hang like a dangalang." Chilli pouted. "Well we'll walk you to your man." She looped her arm through mines and we all begin walking. We stood by the doors that lead to the main area and sat here waiting.

        "We need to plan a girls night out. It's been awhile." Nicole said.

         "No, what we need to do is plan your birthday party." She said all happy. "Any plans and ideas?"

I shrugged not really knowing. I never went anywhere on my birthday because I didn't have anyone to hang with during those years. The family of course gave me wishes and got me things. I'm happy they're here now because maybe we can do something.

      "I told you she wasn't thinking about no damn birthday." Chrissy chuckled.

       "Nae, you turning eighteen! We doing something! And we gone make sure you look bomb as well while doing it." She smiled proudly, making me laugh.

"Y'all know I'm not too big about about it. Everything gone be closed and everyone gone be home, eating. So what's the point."

"Girl it's Chicago, since when isn't anyone out and shit ain't open?" Chilli raised a brow.

"It's a holiday girl." Nicole chuckled.

"And your point? You know folks gonna be out and about." She opened the bag of Cheetos and begin eating them.

I begin to think about if I was to do something for my birthday, what would it be? Having a party is out of the picture and if I do have one, it's mostly gonna be family and my parents close friends. I wouldn't be able to invite people I want. Even though I don't know many people but still.

    "Ooo! We should get an Airbnb and throw you a little party." Chrissy suggested. The other two agreed, nodding they heads.

"Yess Nae." Chilli Agreed, geeked.

"Okay." I simply said. I was down for it since I never did that before. I've seen plenty of people on Instagram Renting out those. But the thing is, I don't know anyone else but them. "Who gone come?" I giggled. "Y'all the only people I hang with."
