"Sooo yea then she was calling me out my name so I said 'that's why I ate the rest of your son fruit snacks' then we got to fighting"

Ximora laughed as she listen to her client.

"And what did he do?" Ximora asked.

"Girl his sorry ass stood there, just watching his baby mama get her ass beat. Then I had to dog walk his ass" she told Ximora.

"And you're going to prom withhhh-"

"With his homeboy" she laughed.

"Who you going to prom with?" The client asked.

Ximora shook her head "I'm not going, ion gotta dress or nun"

"You gottaaa come" she told Ximora.

"Okayyy I'll see" Ximora said.

"Hey" Ximora said setting her backpack.

KJ waved as she sat at the table eating.

"Wassup" Draco said standing up to hug her.

She hugged him back then sat on the couch.

"A nigga need a retwist soon" he told her.

"We can do that" she nodded.

He sat next to her while she texted Brooklyn back.

"How was your day?" He asked.

"It was good, after school I went to this girl's house to do her hair. How was yours?" she replied.

He nodded "It was straight"

They sat in a silence for a while because Ximora didn't know what else to say.

"Imma go to my room" she told him.

As she got up he grabbed her arm "Why you be dodging a nigga?"

"Ion be knowing what to say"

"Just talk to me" he smiled.

"Ummm I got an acceptance letter today from TSU, they emailed it" she told him.

"Congratulations. That's where you wanna go?" He asked.

She nodded "Yea, it's the most realistic cause I still need to be close for KJ"

"Oh yea her teacher put a letter in her bag, I saw it when I was checking her homework" he pulled a paper out.

"Yeaa I already know what it's about" she frowned.

"I paid it-"

"We don't need you to-" she started to raise her voice until her snatched her up.

Luckily the living room and kitchen were divided to where KJ couldn't see them.

"Who you getting loud wit? Watch your tone" he spoke lowly.

"Sit down and talk to me like you got some sense" he let her go and leaned against the wall.

"I don't want you to have to take care of everything for me"

"I just wanna help you Mora, you only 18 and doing this by yourself. That shouldn't be on you" he said.

She nodded "But I feel like we're not your sole responsibility"

"Ight and KJ shouldn't be your sole responsibility either, so I wanna help" he told her.

"Can y'all just date?" Brooklyn asked laying on Ximora's bed.

KJ and Draco had went out to get dinner.

"You want me with Kyrie sooo bad" Ximora laughed.

Kyrie was someone from their school that liked her but she definitely didn't like him back. He wasn't ugly it was just the way he treated females.

"Ughhh"

"Can you just stay still so I can take this last loc out, you gon be mad if I cut some of that hair" Ximora said turning the TV up.

"MATERIALLL GWORLLL" KJ yelled walking in the room.

"I want Chanel nine boots, all these niggas steady jockin cause they know Brooklyn the truth" Brooklyn rapped.

Ximora rolled her eyes as she took the drinks out of KJ's hands.

"Stop teaching her shit" Ximora said.

"Haterrrr" Brooklyn said digging in the bag.

Ximora walked out the room to get napkins from the kitchen.

As she finished getting a handful, she felt hands on her waist and a hard body slide against hers.

" 'scuse me" Draco said grabbing a fork out the drawer next to her.

"Y-you good" she mumbled quickly leaving the kitchen.

"You straight?" Brooklyn asked as Ximora quietly came back in the room.

"Mhm" she sounded sitting in the bed.

They all sat there watching BAPS until Brooklyn decided to head out.

Ximora walked her out then headed back in the room to see KJ playing with Draco.

"Wassup" he smiled staring her down, she gave him a shy wave and sat on the bed.

"Y'all don't got school tomorrow you wanna go shopping?" He asked.

KJ quickly nodded.

"Yea we can go" Ximora told him.
