"I felt weird." I chuckled. 

"It's beneficial." My mom shrugged.

She was on her way to drop me off to school after we came from pampering ourselves, it was around 11 o' clock. I didn't really wanna come to school but then I didn't wanna miss a day so I was going to just go.

"Can we stop to get food?" 

"You got food money?" 

"Mommy." I whined making her look at me scrunching her face up.

"You're not a baby no more."

"I'll always be you and Face baby." I folded my arms.

"True." She nodded pulling into a parking lot. 

"What's this?" 

"A soul food restaurant."

"Let me find out you be secretly eating." I side eyed her.

"Girl bye." She waved me off opening the door for me. 

"I want some crab legs."

"I do too, a seafood boil."

"Can we do that when I come home?" I asked.

"You keep whining, disgusting." She scrunched her face up.

"Girl bye." I rolled my eyes.

"But yeah, I'll go get all that shit after I drop you off cause I'm not going out the house for nothing."

"So who gon come get me from school?" I frowned.

"You got a boyfriend sis."

"Alright sis."

"Yana." One of the workers smiled making my mother turn her head around and smile.

"Damn, so you secretly been here that much that they know yo name?" I asked making her look at me as I shook my head going to the menu to order.

"Where you at?" Saymon asked as soon as I answered the FaceTime.

"Getting something to eat with NaBlood." I showed her talking to the worker.

"Who that nigga?" Face asked. "Ayanna fucking Parker."

"That's a worker here, boy shut up." I chuckled.

"Why you not in school?" Saymon asked sitting on somebody porch.

"My mom and I went to get a vajacial."

"The fuck is that?" 

"Facials for ya vagina."

"So somebody was all in your shit?"

"Yes, the same lady who do my waxes."

"What you needed a vac-vaj- that shit for?" He asked making me laugh.

"So any dead skin could go away, stop ingrown hairs and more. I liked it." I shrugged. "It was rejuvenating."

"Do you know what you wanna order?" A girl asked making me look at her.

"Can I have turkey wings, macaroni and collard greens?" I asked. "Then I want another tray with oxtails, macaroni and candy yams with a side of collard greens. I want a lot of oxtails though so if I have to pay extra that's fine and add cornbread to both please."

"Who that other tray for?" 

"Spencer." I told him making me nod as my mother came to order her food.
