"I honestly like my hair like this." I smiled while staring at my picture that Clementine just took of me. A week has passed by already with my arm and Roman situation. Yes my arm was still in a cast and sometimes randomly cramping, but Roman and I were back to being the best of friends. But this is something we always did when we argued. And I never be difficult when it comes to making up because nine times out of ten I hit him or came out the side of my mouth towards him. So yes we're Bonnie and Clyde again, just with being best friends. "Thank you. I like it too." She flipped her hair making me laugh at her. "So where are we going though?" I asked standing up and looked over my outfit. Dressed in all denim and my black Uggs, I been approved of this outfit. Wearing a little make up and a lot of lip gloss, I was more than ready to show off wherever the hell we were going. "Its a surprise, but since you're ready let's go." Clementine smiled grabbing her coat, so I did the same grabbing my black Montclair coat and slipped it on carefully. "A surprise? My birthday isn't until next month." I frowned. We honestly could skip Christmas and New Years because they won't be nothing compared to what I have for my birthday. Even though I'm only turning nineteen, hell that's something to celebrate ! "You just won't let me forget huh? And just relax girl. You'll love it, I promise." Clementine cooed as we left the room then the building. We quickly hopped in her car being that the winter air was finally catching up to everyone. "What do you want for your birthday and Christmas?" Clementine randomly asked me. I gasped and faked like I was wiping my tears away. "You don't have to get me anything boo, you do enough. I appreciate it though." I smiled and put on my seat belt. I wasn't really a fan of gifts, it just didn't feel right to me. And this when it reflects back on my parents not wanting me, so how could I let someone else waste their money on me ? They're not the ones who decided to keep me. "Why not?!" Clementine yelled making me look her way with a slight mug. That was honestly right in my ear, it even tickled my ear drum. "You do enough Cle." I said while shaking my ear. That girl got a voice on her. "Like what?" Clementine frowned. "Wake me up for class, do my crippled ass hair, help me get over me comparing people with my parents, you helped me gain more friends than I ever had in my whole entire life... That's a lot, I don't need no gift Cle. You are a gift." I smiled with a shrug. "Kaylee... Kaylee.... Kaylee I'm seriously ruining my make up as these tears fall down my face. But I don't care, that was like the sweetest thing one of my friends ever told me. I mean ever." She sniffle. I leaned over and wiped her tears lightly to fix her make up. "Stop it Cle, you don't need to cry. Its just the truth." I giggled and lightly dabbed under her eye again. "Thank you." She quickly pulled me into a very tight hug. "You welcome and stop crying!" I laughed hugging her back. We broke the hug and she turned on the music then pulled out of parking. Cle is such a teddy bear. I smiled and began to make snaps through the whole car ride.

......

Getting out of the car, I sucked my teeth and looked back at Clementine with a mug on my face. Calvin was standing next to Legacy while they stared at something on his phone. "Really Cle?" I whined while stomping my feet. She just can't get enough of that air headed yellow boy. I can't lie and say they ain't cute though because they are. "Sorry Kay Kay my baby wanted to spend time with me tonight. But he promised to not say anything to you." She smiled while closing the door and I did the same. "Let's pray." I mumbled with a eye roll. "Don't be like that Kay Kay. I swear he promised." She laughed while locking her car. I smirked and just started walking as we walked towards them. "Oh shit ya got here quicker than I thought ya would. What's up best friend?" Legacy smiled at Clementine then gave her a hug. "Hey Leggy and that's because I had little miss take so long pull out her outfit before we left to class." Clementine bragged making me playfully roll my eyes at her. "Sup gorgeous?" Legacy smirked and pulled me into a hug. "What's up?" I asked while hugging him back. "Ain't shit. You smell good though." Legacy smiled before spinning me around. "Stop." I laughed and tugged away from his grip. He smelled good too, it was that new Calvin Klein cologne. "And thank you." I smiled with a playful eye roll. "What did I tell you about that shit yo?" He grabbed me up by my jacket. I just laughed and stared at him with a smile. "Keep doing it because I looked good." I shrugged making him chuckle then let go. "Are ya done playing love birds?" Clementine teased, but was already wrapped in Calvin's arms. "Yeah. Let's go inside, a nigga hungry." Legacy said while throwing his arm around me. "Who told you not to eat anything?" I looked up at him. He looked down at me and laughed. "You talking to me? Like that?". I nodded my head, but started laughing lightly. "I'm just asking." I just shrugged with a small smile. "Nah this nigga Calvin said there's a soul food buffet inside so I wasn't trying to be fed until we got here." Legacy smirked. "Oh." Was all I said totally understanding where he was coming from. I missed the hell out of Mrs. Graham cooking. "You lucky I helped yo ass out because don't let me tell what you were about to eat." Calvin snickered making me look back at Legacy. "Ewww get away from me. Did you even brush your teeth?" I scrunched my face up then grabbed my Listerine mini spray. "Don't listen to that nigga Kay!" Legacy laughed, but I wasn't laughing. Calvin was too blunt to not tell the truth. "Open your mouth Legacy." I said holding up the spray. "What you looking for pubs?" Calvin laughed at me. I sucked my teeth and just sprayed the Listerine into his mouth four times. Not that I was planning on kissing him, its just that when he do talk to me, I'll swear that I'll smell stink vagina. And I didn't need to smell that while eating the closest thing Mrs. Graham's cooking. "Yo you just odee'd Kaylee. I feel my mouth going numb." Legacy complained while the three of us laughed at him. Oh well. Don't go planning to give oral sex to some random ho knowing that you were going to meet up with me later. That's not how it works with his slick ass. "Do you feel your tongue? Because that's where I mainly sprayed it." I laughed then walked inside of the restaurant. It smelled just like home, I no longer had a attitude and was more than ready to eat. "You smiling hard as hell!" Calvin chuckled. I was about to mug Clementine, but he didn't say anything too wrong. "It smells so good in here." I cooed making them laugh at me. "Welcome to Mama's Kitchen can I get you guys a table?" This girl smiled at us. She was so pretty ! Her dark skin that glowed like if someone rubbed high light and glitter all over her beautiful skin. She was slightly tall and very skinny like someone's lost model and her natural curls flowed carelessly off her shoulders. She had it going on and didn't even know it. I sorta felt gay by the way I smiled and thought of her, she was very pretty !! Like where's your gigs at beautiful and why aren't you on the cover of some very popular magazine. "Yes please, a table of four." Clementine smiled since I was still stuck. "Okay cool, follow me." The girl smiled and began to walk off. "And there's a skate key next door and you're going to love what tonight theme is." Clementine smiled at me. "What's the day?" I smiled still following the girl. "You'll see. That's the second surprise." She smirked. "Well let's pray its good because I didn't like the first one." I rolled my eyes, so she pinched me. "Be nice Kaylee." She scolded me. I frowned as I rubbed my stinging hand. "Here goes your table. The total is forty dollars." She smiled showing off her pearly whites. I was about to dig in my clutch, but Clementine slapped my hand. "They got it." She smiled after I looked at her like she was crazy as hell. Legacy mugged me and gave the girl a twenty dollar bill then Calvin handed his off to her as well. "I should've made you pay for your shit since I probably won't be able to enjoy mine." Legacy scoffed. "Would you like your ten dollars back? Hell I'll give you twenty just because you asked." I snapped then stood up and went to go make my first plate for the night. Legacy had me fucked up. Every time we get cool again he messes it up and we go back to being strangers, he's such a asshole. Snatching up the plate, I rolled my eyes and went to aisle of food. They everything from bake Mac n cheese to baked potato pies which I loved. So I went down both aisles putting almost everything on my plate. When I got back, they were all gone. So I sat down and sipped on my strawberry soda, one of my favorite sodas. Then I took a picture on snapped and next thing you know I was stuffing my face. Mrs. Graham had herself a little competition, but I won't dare tell her that. She'll probably move down here and really try to compete with them. "So let me guess you're not fucking with me again?" Legacy asked placing his plate down then sat down in front of me. I looked back and seen that Clementine and Calvin making jokes with each other, so I faced forward and shrugged. "Who said that?" I questioned. Legacy shook his head and began to his food as well. So there was silence at the table until Clementine and Calvin came back. "Ohhh told you there was yams Calvy!" Clementine laughed while taking a seat. "Oh shit you was right, my fault baby." Calvin chuckled and sat down as well. After this food I was planning to go home, I didn't want to kill their fun being that I had a attitude. Maybe Roman could come get me, I know he misses me just as much as I miss him. "Damnnn ya!" Clementine giggled making everyone laugh at her. I just finished my food and kept scrolling through my phone.

......

After eating four plates at Mama's Kitchen, I was more than ready to go home now. Legacy and I still ignored each other, while I also ignored everyone else. Roman was supposed to be on his way to come get me, but we were already outside for ten minutes and there was no sign of Roman. "Where Roman at? Its cold as hell." Calvin complained. Tonight wasn't the night, so I just begged myself to ignore him. I wasn't in the mood to be fighting and tomorrow I'll be calling Mrs. Graham myself to go see a therapist. I'm tired of trying to teach myself how to ignore people because it never works for me and I'm always snapping. Feeling my phone buzz, I quickly looked at it and seen that Roman sent me a text.

Ro : Kay I'm coming in like ten. There was accident on the highway.

Me : Omgggh no !! Don't come then !! Just go home Ro. I'll die if anything was to happen to you ! I'll be fine. Just go home.
