Three hours later we was out of court. My mom being the happiest woman on earth and I wish to know how that nigga Jason was feeling. He kept smiling like a creep, I don't like him at all but either way I was happy for my mom. Even though we seem to fight a lot but if she's happy then I'm Alright. Right about now we were officially the "Williams". They got me to sign some documents declaring me to take the new surname, I had no choice but to sign it.

We were now driving to what's supposedly to be our new house or home whatever it is. To me it ain't no home because I don't even feel like I'll ever be home. I left home back in S.A, so this ain't my home. We pulled up in some neighborhood, with really nice houses, chilled to be honest. Seemed like everybody was minding their business. Good! Jason parked in front of a 2 storied house and smiled, "this is us", he said looking at my mom then back at me. I half smiled and spat out a cold "Okay".

My mom got out of the car looking like she can't wait to see the inside. Jason followed her and unlocked the door. They got inside the house. I sighed getting out of the car with my bags in my hands. I took notice of my surroundings, big houses with very wide porches. Green trees filled with life, green grass looking like it's even greener on the other side. There were not a lot of people out here, just a few sitting on their porches minding their own businesses.

I didn't even notice people sitting opposite my house. Some nigga gave me a head nod. I nodded back. He stood up looking like he was coming to my direction, and yeah he was. "Wassup?" he said standing next to me. "None much man", I replied. "You must be new here", he said.

I don't know if this nigga is stupid or slow but he surely sees the bags I have with me meaning I'm new here. "Actually I am", I answered his rhetorical question. He sticked out his hand for me to dap up "I'm Orlando", I dapped him up. "I go by Shane", I said.

"I guess I'll see you around Shane, you really seem like good peeps", he said walking off. "Yeah bet", I said walking up to the house. It was really big in the inside, smelled like coconut and a tint of coffee. Dim lighting and few touches of silver everywhere. "Hey, your room is all set and done, just waiting for you", Jason said. "Okay thanks", I said giving him a smile. "It's three doors to the left down the hall". I just nodded and went up the stairs.

I went down the hall and found my room. It was painted in blue, a white couch sat beside the window, picture frames on the wall but no pictures at all. I was glad there was a bathroom in here because a nigga likes walking around naked if she has no clue on what to wear and of course back home I'd do the naked run from the bathroom to my bedroom. I found that very funny especially knowing there were people in the house.

I placed my bags down and started unpacking. After I was done, i laid on my new bed, face first. Growled at the fact that I'm starting school tomorrow but it's whatever. I took out my phone and switched it on. A dozens of messages from people back home flooded my phone. I had a text from Ginger that mainly caught my eyes. It read:

Ginger💯: Now a nigga can leave without saying

goodbye, huh?

Shane: Don't be like that man. I had a lot on my mind. I

apologize bro.

Ginger💯: It's all good my guy. I love you and take care

of yourself.

Shane: Yeah bro. I love you too. Talk to you later.

Ginger💯: Alright.

After that little conversation with Ginger I felt a bit drained. Honestly I missed him, he was the only closest homie I had down there. Niggas weren't really down for me, they only treated me they way they did because they knew not to fuck with my dad, that's the only reason. But Ginger was like a brother to me, he still is and I'll forever be grateful for his real love and care.

"Shanice! Dinner is ready", my mom shouted from downstairs. If you haven't noticed, she's always shouting and always loud. It's mad annoying really. I got up and went downstairs. I didn't struggle finding the sitting room. Food was already on the table. I sat down and stared at my food. "Let's pray", mom said.

We held hands and she started praying "Lord bless the food we are about to have and also bless our new family", as mom was praying the nigga Jason started making circles on my hand with his thumb. I slightly opened my eyes and he winked at me. The Fuck! "Oh Lord we pray, amen", mom said. I quickly snatched my hand from Jason and mugged him. "Amen", I said.

We ate in silence and he kept looking at me, I was really uncomfortable. So I got up and thanked mom for the food. "Okay baby sleep well." " Don't forget you got school tomorrow," she continued "Blacky will drive you there." "Okay, Goodnight." I went to my room and locked the door. I really hoped I'd live a peaceful life over here but I feel like this Jason nigga will cause problems for me. As I was deep in thoughts, I fell asleep.
