After they ate breakfast, Ja dropped Keyarii off back at her home and went home to relax before attending workouts. Key had two classes for the day, and since she wouldn't be going home to Charleston, she took some time to herself. She washed her hair and cornrowed it. She cleaned up her entire apartment. And by 5:30 in the evening, she was done with her chores. Right as she sat down on her couch and took a deep breath, her eldest brother called.

"Yes, Sammy?"

"Lil nigga you better say hey first or some, don't answer like I'm bothering you."

"But you are tho," she mumbled, rolling her eyes.

"Excuse me, what was that?"

"I said hi, Sammy."

"Thought so. Anyways I'm coming home this weekend with Sana'a and—"

"And you want me to come home this weekend to meet your baby momma with everybody else."

"I knew you were smart."

"I'm also smart enough to know since you want me to come home, gas money needa come from your pockets to mine."

"Gas money? I'm broke."

"Caresha, please."

"What I told you bout calling me that gay shit, son."

"My bad nigga please, broke who?"

"Swear you the personal broke best friend of the family."

"Excuse you, sir, I'm YOUR broke best friend and little sister."

"Shidd."

"But in all seriousness, you want me to come home when I didn't plan to; I need gas to be put in my car."

"Swear you be bout to run me dry."

"Aht, don't do that cause I don't ask for anything."

"You don't ask for anything?" He scoffed, "A few weeks ago, you asked me for a Bentley."

"I was tryna see if you were gonna say no. I don't need or want it cause I love my car."

"We off-topic bobblehead be yo lil ass home this weekend. And don't make me have to come to yo college and drag you by your two front teeth."

"Last I checked, my daddy, is dead."

"And last I checked, I'm your big brother, and I pay for the expensive shit you want when momma won't pay for it."

"I-"

"Don't wanna hear it. Ni bye, lil sista, love you."

"Love you too, Sammy." They hung up the phone, and Key, once again, let out a sigh. She was bored, and a small inkling of her missed Ja's company already. And just as her boredom set in, she got a text from Savannah. Key thought 'Look at God.' Savannah was asking her if she wanted to hang out and maybe go party later. It was a definite yes for her. The girls agreed to meet up at the party with one another. The party started in about 3 hours, and Key knew if she wanted to look bomb enough, she would have to start getting ready. She took a shower, applied one of her glueless units, and did her makeup. Keyarii's outfit was simple.
