B.

"Mommy, I'm hungry." Karim said dramatically falling on my bed.

I don't know if he was over the situation, but our relationship was definitely going back to normal. Especially because he's been getting on my nerves lately.

I rolled my eyes. "You are 15 years old, go make yourself something to eat. And make me something too."

He frowned and I looked at him over my phone. "Karim, we'll be leaving soon. Either hang tight or go make us some food."

"I guess we both hanging tight then. What are we even waiting for? You aren't even ready!"

"We're waiting for Solange to get here with Grandma."

"Why?"

"They want to be here for your championship game. Then next week is spring break and we'll bring going somewhere with them."

"Okay, but how long will it take? I'm starving." He groaned making me roll my eyes. I know he's anxious for his game or whatever, but he doesn't need to get on my nerves.

I can feel myself being more irritable. I don't know if it's because he's more annoying or something, but damn. This dude makes my blood boil sometimes.

"Karim, these are my nerves." I said holding up two fingers. "And this is what you're doing to them." I explained as I started plucking my fingers.

He busted out laughing. "Oh I get it! I'm plucking your nerves!"

I tried not to laugh. "Yes."

"Ok ok. Sorry. I'll shut up."

It got quiet and we both ended up falling asleep until there was banging on the door.

I rolled my eyes as Karim slept through it. "Who is it?!" I yelled before looking through the peep hole and seeing none other than my mother and sister.

I swung the door open. "Mommy!!" I fell into her arms like the big baby I was.

"Aww. Hey, my baby." She cooed.

Solange sucked her teeth. "Are y'all done?"

"Solange, I see you everyday. Excuse me for being happy to see my mother whom I haven't seen in ages."

"If y'all don't stop." Mama said with a smile.

"Karim upstairs sleeping. He'll be happy to know y'all are here." I said changing the subject.

I went upstairs to wake him up and to quickly get myself ready.

"Bitch, your legs look delicious

"Bitch, your legs look delicious. I'm so jealous." Solange yelled. We were always flipping back and forth between hating each other and loving each other, it's a sister thing. We'll fight and then love one another again 30 seconds later.
