Melanie POV:
"New hair who dissss?" I said barging out the front door with Maddie behind me.

"How I look yall?" I asked twirled around on the porch.

"Like a damn strawberry" Tayda chuckled.

"Okay nah Miss Red Velvet cake" Nyny joced making the guys laugh.

"Y'all some damn haters my best hair look da fuck cute!" Maddie said waving them off.

"Ain't they best!" I chimed in, looking up seeing my granny pulling into the front yard.

I ran over to her truck waiting for her to get out so I could show her my new hair.

"Hey granny, I missed youuuuu girl!" I sighed being dramatic.

"Girl you ain't missed me nun you just seen me this morning." She waved me off stepping out the truck, making me pout.

"Awweee Hey my Lani boo, hold up nah. Okay well look atchu' looking all cute and stuff." Granny giggled squeezing my cheeks and fluffing my hair hyping me up.

"This why you my favorite lady thank you granny. What you got in that bag tho it smell good." I replied tryna figure what was smelling so good in the bag she was clutching.

"Aht aht nothing for you! Y'all eating spaghetti tonight. Hey my babies." Granny said walking onto the porch with me hot on her trail.

"Spaghetti? Oh my gosh Granny we had that last night." I whined.

"And.. Y'all having it again tonight, don't get on my nerves nah Lani." Granny warned going in the house.

"D0Nt gEt 0N mY nErVeS nAh lAni" I whispered mimicking her, rolling my eyes watching her walk further into the house.

"What you gone do is she turn around?" Nyny instigated.

"Shut up I don't care if she do." I rolled my neck.

Granny turned around coming back to the door and I hurried up and ran and sat next to Nyny.

"Thought you ain't care... scary ass" Nyny nudged me laughing.

"Oh and before I forget Nahjour you got court in the morning so don't be out too late hea'? And Lani you got a guilty look all over your face and i don't like that" Granny said standing in the doorframe, eyeballing me suspiciously before walking off.

"Damn I forgot bout that... but shit least ion gotta go to school" Nyny sighed.

"I'm not going to school tomorrow either then, I'm going with y'all" I stated matter factly.

"You think they gone drop yo charges?" Tayda asked.

"Shit ion know, really it's just a hearing to see if I'm getting sentenced to a program. But Nasir my codefendant so yunno how that go."

"I ain't seen him in a minute, fuck he been at?" KD asked.

"Shit he was still locked up when I got out so ion know."

"I guess we'll have to see if jit shows up to court tomorrow or not" Nyny shrugged.

I got up and went to sit on the stoop, going to Instagram playing in the filters feeling myself.

"Let's go live on your page best." Maddie said jumping in the camera.

"Okay" I replied sliding over to the live feature. I stood up positioning my phone up on the post of the porch.
