"Hillary Banks"

"Yes Trevor"

"Willll yooouuuu marryyyy mee-" (crash)

"Oh shit" Sky said as her mouth dropped open as we watched Fresh Prince of Bel Air. We looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"That's exactly why I'll never go bungee jumping" I told her as I shook my head and my momma walked into the living room with a lit cigarette in her mouth, putting her uniform on for work

"What y'all in here watching that got y'all laughing so hard?" She asked while looking at the tv. When she realized it was fresh prince, she shook her head "I should've known"

"You know we had to watch our show ma" I said while looking up at her

"Well y'all go ahead and watch y'all little show. I'm about to head to work"

"What time you get off?"

"Around 10. Unless they ask me to work a double again" she shrugged and walked into the kitchen.

"You gonna ask her if they can come over?" Sky asked me, referring to Kentrell and his friends. After we chilled at kentrell's place the other day, I realized that Sky was so eager to chill with them again so I made her come clean and she told me that she was feeling Ben.

"You can go ask her, since you wanna see Ben so bad"

"Don't act like you'on wanna see kentrell too" sky pushed me a little and I rolled my eyes

"Let's not start that. But just know, you owe me" I replied as I got up off the couch and went into the kitchen. My mom was wrapping a plate she saved from dinner last night, for her lunch at work. When she heard me walk into the kitchen, she stopped and looked at me before resuming what she was doing

"You either want something or you did something, which one?" She asked and I looked at her some type of way

"Huh?"

"Gracie, every time you have that little grin on your face that's when I know somethings up" she laughed and I smacked my lips and leaned against the counter beside her

"Do you mind if me and sky invite some friends over"

"Friends? What friends?"

"Just some people we know" I told her as I shrugged and she nodded, filling a glass with cherry kool-aid then took a sip and popped her tongue as she put the glass down

"Girl that's some good Kool-Aid... but anyways. These friends of Yalls, are they boys?"

"Ummm Yeah"

"You know I don't mind. As long as you remember my only rule, NO BABIES!" She pointed her finger at me and I nodded

"Okay ma, I know that. And it's not that kinda friend"

"Is it that same lil boy you're always on the phone with?"

"Yeah" I sighed and she side eyed me while sipping her drink again

"Yeah that's your lil boyfriend"

I smacked my lips and rolled my eyes while she laughed

"Ion see why you gettin so upset Gracie. I really did like Darren, but it's about time you move on and whoever this boy is always putting a smile on your face so..."
