"Ri, make sure to lock up and there's money on the kitchen table to order you something when you get hungry!" My mom yelled up the stairs, she was going out with a couple of her friends tonight so I would have the house to myself.

"Ok!" I responded.

I walked out of my room and made my way down the stairs.

"Bye baby." My mom said as she kissed my forehead.

"See you later mom." I said as she walked out and I closed the door behind her before locking it.

I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a water. I took a sip as I glanced at the money on the table. I grabbed the $40 dollars and went back upstairs.

When I got to my room, I grabbed my speaker and paired my phone to it. I ended up playing SZA - Broken Clocks which is my favorite song at the moment.

Run fast from my day job
Runnin' fast from the way it was
Jump quick to a pay check
Runnin' back to the strip club
I'm never going back, never going back
No you can't make me
Never going back, never going back (nah)
They never take me (yeah)
I've paid enough of petty dues
I've had enough of shitty news
I've had a thing for dirty shoes since I was 10
Love dirty men alike
Ooh
Better day than yesterday (keep cuttin' up)
Ooh
I just take it day by day
Ooh oh oh
Never hearing what they say
Ooh ooh
I just do it my way
All I got is these broken clocks
I ain't got no time
Just burning daylight
Still love and it's still love, and it's still love
It's still love, still love (still lovin'), still love
It's still love but it's still love
Nothin' but love for you.

I danced around the room as I sang along before my phone dinged, stopping the music. I walked over and looked down at my phone and it was Amani.

Mani: What are you doing tonight? I'm sooooo bored😩  - 6:12pm

I laughed at how dramatic she was before I texted back.

Me: I'm home by myself, come over. - 6:13pm

I looked down at my phone as she read the message and then replied "Ok." I then called Amaru but he didn't answer so I ended up calling Amani to see where he was.

"Hello." She answered.

"Where's Amaru?" I asked.

"With Amanda." She said with annoyance in her voice.

"Oh, well hurry up and come over. My mom just left out." I said.

"Ok, I'm about to try to call Amaru and see if he'll drop me off there, if not I'll just call an Uber." She said.

"Ok." I said before my phone made a noise indicating someone was on the other line.
