•ARIANA•

Laying on my bed I scroll through tiktok laughing at a few videos.

"Ariana are you going to the fucking store or not".I heard my stepmom yell from my room.

"Why can't you do it you ain't doing anything anyway".I yelled back continuing to scroll through my phone when my door was swung open.

"Just do what the fuck I said Ariana the list is on the table with the money and don't be out being a fast-ass Lil girl".She yelled slamming the door, rolling my eyes I stand up and walk out of the room snatching the list off the table and walking outside putting the money and paper in my pocket.

"Bitch where you going wait on me".I heard my best friend Tati yell causing me to look over at her house. Tati was 2 years older than me making me 17.

"Girl why you hanging out the window and I'm going to the store come on it's hot as hell out here".I say putting my phone in my pocket just as she came outside.

"So bitch I heard Nadia is having a party tonight we in or we in".She asked while walking in front of me almost walking into the street but I grabbed her.

"First off turnaround and second that didn't even sound like you was asking to me".I say laughing because I knew I was going to end up going no matter what I said.

"You damn right bitch you got all that ass and ain't trynna throw it I know if I had all that ass I would be in that bitch like pow pow pow".She said bending over in front of me.

"Aye get it bitch".I said smacking her ass with my tongue out.

"Whew a bitch is tired that's a whole fucking work out niggas just don't know".She said wiping her forehead causing me to laugh.

"Right my legs be hurting when I get low".I said just as the store came into view and I could see Muhammad leaning against his car with his right hand Abdul and his crew dealing.

"Oh shit Ariana there go your man".Tati whispered and Tati looked down as we passed him.

The reason people look down when walking past Mahammad is because he's that nigga and he demanded respect wherever he went. I however didn't give a fuck and I wasn't putting my head down for anybody.

"So what does the list say, sis".Tati asked as I pulled it out and gave it to her to look at.

"What the fuck she need sardines for who eat them nasty shits".She said scrunching up her face.

"Girl you know papa tear them thangs up whenever he gets the chance".I say picking up five packs and placing them in the basket.

" I forgot papa be eating them but I'm gonna get the top half you get the bottom and meet me at the checkout counter".She said ripping the list in half and handing me the bottom half.

"Alright and don't be taking too long like you always do".I said laughing at the face she made before walking off.

Walking down the aisles I was picking up whatever was on the list when I bumped into someone. Looking up to apologize I quickly look away.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention".I said quickly but got no response and it was only then did I realize he walked away.

After getting all the things from my list I walk up to the counter just as Tati was coming up.

"Bitch tell me why I ran into my future man Abdul and I apologized and he just walked off".She said taking things out the basket and placing it on the counter.

"That's crazy I bumped into Muhammad and he did the same thing rude bitches".I said and I saw Tati flailing her arms to tell me no.

"Girl what is wrong with you they are rude, bum niggas".I say rolling my eyes and she motions her head and eyes to the side with her head down.

"Sis omg you can't take a hint they're behind you".She said sighing while shaking her head slowly I turn around.

"I didn't mean it, it was just a joke".I said nervously.

"Watch yo fucking Ight you lucky I don't kill your ass right here".Muhammad said as he wrapped his hand around my neck squeezing it.

"Don't put your fucking hands on me".I say reaching up to remove his hand but he smacked my hand away.

"Don't touch me I'll move when I'm fucking ready now pay for yo shit cause I got places to be".He said pushing me back as everyone in the store watched but were too scared to do anything.

"Um, sweetheart you don't have to pay you know I never make you pay". The old man behind the counter said as he bagged my things and handed them to me. When they were in my hand Muhammad pushed me out of the way and placed his things on the counter.

"You got one more time to put your hands on me". I say pointing my finger in his face.

Tati quickly grabbed my arm dragging me out of the store in a rush and when we made it outside she let me go.

"Girl That was fucking close we almost died".She said causing me to look at her like she was crazy.

"I think you mean I almost died why you ain't tell me he was behind me".I said pushing her playfully.

"Bitch what you thought this meant".She said stopping and demonstrating what she did back at the store.

"You should've said something silly I wasn't looking at you at first".I said laughing as she playfully rolled her eyes.

"Anyways bitch what you wearing to the party,".she asked throwing her arm over my shoulder since she is taller than me.

"I don't know stay at my house since you got most of your clothes over there".I said as we walked up the steps to my house.

"You right about that but yo stepmoms better stay in her lane".She said as we stepped in and my stepmom came from the back.

"Why you take so fucking long and why this hoe in my house".She said mugging Tati who mugged her back.

"Watch yo mouth don't talk about my sister like that and mind your business here".I said pushing the bags in her hand.

"Girl you 17 stay in a child's place before I put you in it".She said and instead of replying to her I walked to my room with Tati following close behind.

"Come on the party start in a few hours let's look for you a sexy outfit".She said looking through my closet.

Feeling someone shake me I open my eyes to see Tati with two outfits in her hand.

"Get up we have to get ready".She said handing me mines and I looked at it.

"No fucking way Tati I'm not wearing that". I say shaking my head standing up.

"Bye get dressed".She said walking out to go use one of the other bathrooms.

Finishing up my makeup Tati walks into the room fully dressed looking like a snack.

"Come on we leaving".She said walking back out I stand up grabbing my phone purse and the money I kept from the store before walking out of my room.

"Where you going baby girl".My dad asked lying down on the couch.

"To a party with Tati".I said looking at the tv to see what he was watching.

"Okay be back before 1 and I'm not even gone get started on your outfit get out my face".He said laughing and waving me off.

Walking off I get inside Tati's mom's car and she drove off to the party.
