CHICAGO IL,
MARIYAH'S CRIB

                             Mariyah's POV:
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, It was Jayla Face Timing me. Me and Jae Jae have been besties since 1st grade and, I'm very lucky to have her as a best friend because she's been my ride or die for as long as I could remember. Especially since she helps calm down my anxiety whenever I'm feeling stressed, nervous, or scared.  She's such a loyal friend to me and I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have her In my life.

I reached for my phone and accepted the Face Time call. "WAKEY WAKEY MUTHA FUCKA!!" Jae screamed into the phone. "Girl shut the hell up it's too early for that shit" I said. "Damn someone's inna bad mood" she said giggling.  "Chile anyways so..." I sat up from my bed and stretched my arms. "Well thanks for waking me up, I'm finna hop in the shower and get ready I'll call you later" I said getting outta bed. "Ight bet" she said then hung up.

I walk towards my dresser and start picking out my clothes. I decided to wear a white crop top with grey sweats and my white Air Force 1's.  I also got my skincare products and my daily hygiene care. "Hmmm.. I think I wanna smell like vanilla today" I said to myself as I picked out my Dove shea butter and Vanilla Body Wash. I also picked out a brown sugar and coconut butter scented exfoliating body polish with my Tahitian Vanilla Bean shea butter scrub from Tree Hut and lastly, a coconut scented perfume.

I got all my hygiene care and went to the bathroom connected to my bedroom. I got a towel off the rack and turned the shower on and started to undress.

Jayla's POV:
"Well thanks for waking me up, I'm finna hop in the shower and get dressed I'll call you later" she said. " Ight bet" I said and hung up. I got outta bed and walked to my closet and picked out a long sleeved black crop top with camo print flap cargo pants and, black converses.  I tied my hair in a ponytail and went over to my dresser to get my skincare and hygiene supplies.  I decided that today, I wanted to smell like pumpkin. (Sorry that sounded weird)

I chose my Dr Bronner's 18-IN-1 Hemp Tea Tree Pure Castile Soap. Next, I chose my Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte Scent Shower Gel from Bath and Body Works. I got Pumpkin  Pecan Waffles scented body lotion also from Bath and Body Works and lastly, my Pumpkin Pecan Waffles perfume.
I took both my clothes and hygiene wash in the bathroom that was also connected to my bedroom like Mariyah's. Except, hers is towards the right and mines Is towards the left.

I started thinking back to Riyah. Me and Mariyah have known each other since 1st grade and has always been close friends.  I know her well enough just as she knows me. Riyah has always had an issue with anxiety, the reason for it..well.. It's because of this girl name "Tasha" I swear to god ion like that bitch one bit. She used to bully my bestie all the time in our sophomore year plus, she has a boyfriend name "Corey" and always think we wanna mess with her man. Like girl that's all you don't nobody want yo man honey.

Mariyah's POV:

After I got outta the shower I wrapped my hair in a towel and walked to my vanity.  I plug up my blow dryer and started blow drying my hair until it was dry.  Today  I felt like wearing my hair down so, I parted it and brushed it since I didn't have time to flat iron it. Which is not bad since my hair is long anyways it'll just look like I got a blow out or something. "MARIYAH COME DOWN HERE BEFORE YOU BE LATE!!" My mother shouted from downstairs. "Shit" I mumbled as I rushed towards my closet to grab my book bag off the hook and hurried downstairs.

Today was Monday which is the worst day of the week if you ask me. Nobody liked Mondays because It was the worst day to start off the week. Not even that but, that's the clear reason why so many of my classmates skip class which I don't blame them. Me and Jae Jae thought about skipping before until the thought of our moms whooping our asses or taking our phones for months popped up in our minds.  Nope, absolutely not. I'm not risking my phone up just to be dumb and skip class. Don't get me wrong I hated this damn school but I ain't bout to risk what I got.

Anyways, I rushed down the stairs and saw my older brother Adam watching a basket ball match in the living room. The smell coming from the kitchen was Heavenly. I walked into the kitchen to see my mother pouring OJ into two small cups. She handed me a plate of waffles and eggs and gave me a small cup of OJ before rushing me out the kitchen so she can clean up. I sat down and tried to eat as quickly as I could knowing that I had to be at school in the next 30 minutes. I managed to eat all my food and ran out the door to walk to school since school wasn't a far distance away from home.
