Tay'Shawn 
                          
Geo and I are currently sitting in front of her parents and my parents. She finally came to her senses and now she's gonna tell her parents. 
                          
"It is 10:30 in the morning" Mr. Pinston says. It's not even that early. I got to be at work at 7 but I'm off today. 
                          
"Daddy, I have something to tell you" Geo says. Her dad immediately looks at me. 
                          
"Are you pregnant?" He asks. 
                          
"No" I say quickly. My parents would kill me if I slipped up like that. 
                          
"No, I want to go to NYU instead of Tuskeegee" She says. 
                          
"Why?" Mrs. Pinston asks. 
                          
"They education system is great, plus my grades are more qualified than Tuskegee and match everything for me to get into NYU" Geo explains. Her mom got this look on her face like she doesn't care about anything Geo's saying. 
                          
"Ion know, we kind of had our mind made up, we rented a house down there and everything" Mr. Pinston says. 
                          
"Well y'all can move, that's no reason for me to move" Geo says. I'm getting irritated. 
                          
"I'm sure you'll make friends when we move Geovanni" Her mom says. 
                          
"Why won't y'all just forget the house, and let her go to NYU?" Ma asks them. 
                          
"Because that doesn't make any sense" 
                          
"Man, y'all trippin', y'all just gone force her to go some college?" Dad asks. 
                          
"It's a HBC-"
                          
"We know, but damn, y'all trying to benefit y'all, and not her" Dad continues. 
                          
"Anyways, we leave tomorrow" Geo's mom says catching everyone off guard. I roll my eyes and get up. I walk outside and go sit in my parents car.

I shake my head as Tay leaves and Geo gets up and goes upstairs. "Y'all really on that bullshit" I say. 
                          
"It's our child, worry about yours please" Shaun says. Lani grabs her stuff before getting up. 
                          
"I need to go cause my temper will have me in a jail cell in a hot minute" She says. I get up, and follow behind her. We get in the car, and Tay's on his phone. Lani gets in the driver's seat, and I get in on the other side. 
                          
"Dad, can I borrow some money to take Geo out tonight?" He asks. I grab my wallet out my front pocket, and thumb through it. I settle with my Black Card and hand it to him. 
                          
"Your mom and I got to handle some things, so we gone drop you off at Zay's house since it's closer" I say. 
                          
"Okay" He says. I pull my phone out and text Zay letting him know the deal. 
                          
We drop Tay off, and head over to my mom's house. We get out and head inside. 
                          
"Ma, I put in about 12 applications" Ariel says walking in from the kitchen. She hands me her laptop, and sighs. "I ain't working at a fast food restaurant either" 
                          
"You're gonna work wherever you get hired lil girl" Lani says. She was serious about the twins getting summer jobs. 
                          
"You applied to Ralph Lauren?" I ask looking through the list of places she applied. She smiles. 
                          
"Yeah, and I think they said I should get a call back sometime tomorrow" She says heading upstairs. 
                          
"Come back down, we about to leave" Lani yells.
