Your love
Is a one in a million
It goes on and on and on
You give me a really good feeling
All day long
One In A Million~Aaliyah

Evangeline's POV

"How was uncle Rick doing?" I ask.

"He's fine. He is thinking about proposing to Patricia." my mama sits next to me.

"Really? I hope he does. She has been with him for three years."

"Yeah, my baby brother is finally ready to settle down." my dad walks into the kitchen.

"Daddy, since you're in there, can you get me a yogurt?"

"I don't know, can I?"

"How many hands do you have?" I ask.

"Two."

"And how many thumbs?"

"Two."

"Is a thumb on each hand?"

"Yes."

"Well, yes you can get me my yogurt."

"What kind, smartass." my daddy remarks.

"The key-lime pie one."

"Do you want anything sweetie?"

"A bottle of water. I have to take my medicine."

"Don't forget a spoon." I remind him.

"I'm getting it."

I hear the fridge open and things being moved around. After a minute, my daddy comes back with a beer, a yogurt, and a bottle of water.

"Thank you daddy."

"Your welcome."

We watch the rest of the movie and then I go take a shower. I change into my Minnie Mouse tank top and matching shorts set. Putting on my purple house shoes, I go into the kitchen and get a bag of those Chips Ahoy, with Reese in them, cookies. I grab a blue Gatorade and go back to my room. I put in How to Train Your Dragon and eat my cookies and drink my Gatorade before going to sleep.

"Cupcake, get up." I hear someone.

"I'm up." I mumble.

"Come on, get up. You're late as it is."

"No I'm not."

"Um.. yes you are. You were supposed to be up an hour ago."

"What!?" I sit up.

I look at the time on my phone and see that it's eight ten. I jump out of bed and go straight to my closet. I pull out a pair of grey sweatpants and a light blue tank top. I get dress and put on my light blue KDs. Throwing my hair into a bun, I get the coffee cup my mom has made for me and leave the house.

"Ahh, Miss. Willams. How nice of you to join us." Mr. Rhyme speaks.

"Sorry I'm late." I hand him my late slip.

"You didn't miss anything. Go ahead, take your seat."

Class goes by quickly and so does the next two. The bell rings for lunch and I get out of my seat and go to the cafeteria.

"Hey wifey." I say to Angie.

"Hey."

"Sup E.V." Peanut gives me dap.

"Sup. Where's Pookie and Tay Tay?"

"In line." Angie points to where they are.

"Did you tell them yet?" I ask.
