"I know something's on your mind sweetheart," Grandpa said.
"How can you tell?"
"You're my grandchild. What type of grandpa would I be if I didn't know my grandchild," he said.
"Well...a lot about to go down soon."
"I see...," he says.
"I'm scared it's not gonna go too good. Once we get an accurate location we gotta go 'check it out'."
"What ever happens I'll pray for you," he says, "Me and ya granny both."
"Thanks Grandpa."
"Yeah now lets enjoy the time we have together," he said as he heads toward the kitchen.
I follow after him.

"Alright Miracle time to go."
"Nooooo. I don't wanna go!" She said.
"Please can I stayyyy," she begged.
"I don't wanna bother Granny an-," I was cut off by Grandpa.
"It's okay. I'd love to spend more time with Miracle," he said.
"Well..."
"Please MoMo Pleeeeeeease," she begged.
"Fiiine. Imma go get your bag."
"Yaaaaaaay!" She yelled.
I go out to my car, and grab Miracle's bag. Then I go back in the house.
"Here you go," I say to Grandpa handing him the bag.
"I'm gonna get going."
"Okay. You should come visit more," Granny said.
"When everthing settles down most definitely."
I give Granny and Grandpa a hug. Then I give Miracle one.
"Have fun Mini Mi."
I left and I headed home.

Right now I'm in my room thinking about what I wanna wear tonight. I know it's still a long time until then, but I wanna know what imma where before hand.
Welp guess I'll go shopping!!!!
I decide to call up Amiya.
Calling MiyaMiya😚❤️...
"Wassup Girl," she said.
"Hey."
"To what do I owe this pleasure of receiving a call from you," she asked.
"Do you wanna go to the mall with me?"
"Girl of course. I was gonna make Cortez go," she said.
"monica saved you from having to come!" She yelled at Cortez.
I guess Cortez grabbed the phone because the next voice I heard was his.
"Thank god. I could not go to the mall that long just for her to buy one outfit," he said.
"Cory give me back my phone!" Amiya yelled in the background.
"You're welcome. I'll leave y'all alone now. Tell I said I'll text her."
"Okay bye," he said.
Call Ended...
"If I had a gun, I'd shoot you!" Trayveon yelled coming downstairs.
"I'll get you one!" Josh yelled back.
"You're the most annoying thing I ever met!" Trayveon said back.
"Can y'all, you know, shut up?" I yelled.
They looked at me like I was crazy.
"Both of y'all annoying."
"Now what's the problem?"
"This gay as nigga tried to get in the bathroom while I was showering!" Trayveon said.
"There's a window in there! He could get away using a shower as a cover up!" Josh argued.
I just busted out laughing.
"Oh my lord!" I said laughing with tears coming out my eyes.
"It's really not that funny," Josh said embarrassed.
"It is though," I said still laughing.
I stopped laughing.
"So...y'all go out now?"
I started laughing again.
"You so childish," Trayveon said.
"I know!" I said continuing to laugh.
"Josh just confess your feelings already," I said laughing harder.
"You know you not fixing the situation right?" Josh said.
"You know I got y'all to stop arguing right?"
He got quiet.
I continued to laugh a little while longer then stopped. My face was red and tear were coming outta my eyes.
"It ain't never this funny," Trayveon said.
"Bye cuz did I ask?"
"Anyway so I'm bouta go to the mall. Don't destroy my home with y'all fighting."
I texted Miya that I was on my way over to her house.
"Wait! Can I come with you? Ion wanna stay in the house all day," Trayveon asked.
"No," Josh said.
"Yeah. Come on."
"Ion wanna go," Josh said.
"Too bad it's not your call," Trayveon said.
Josh gave him a mean look and Trayveon laughed.
They could be something for real.
I laughed to myself.
I need to quit playing. Unless....👀
I got in the car and so did Josh and Tray.
I arrived at Miya's place, and she got in next to me. Then we headed to the mall.
______________
"What about this outfit?" Miya asked.
"Or this one," she said.
"Hmmm I like both...Imma just buy both and choose later."
"Good decision," she said.
"Trayveon, did you find some outfits?"
"Yeah but I don't feel right letting you pay for them," he said.
"Don't worry about all that. Just get what you like, okay?"
"Okay, but it still don't feel right," he said.
"Did you find some stuff?" I asked.
"Yep," he said.
"Okay after this we gonna get you some shoes."
"Monica...," he said.
"I don't want to hear it."
"Fine," he said giving up.
I went up to the cashier and I paid for the clothes. Then we went to a nike store and got some shoes.
"All this shopping made me hungry."
"I could eat," Josh said.
"Boy, I forgot you was with us. You was so quiet for the first since I met you."
"Man leave me alone," he said.
We went in the food court and got us some food.
Out of nowhere Trayveon started being stupid and messing with me.
"Yo get yo real goofy ass on."
He just laughed.
"Man if you don't leave me alone."
Miya pulls out her phone and started recording us together.
"Whaaaat? My friends are better than yours," she says.
"I wasn't even ready yet."
I started making a stupid ass face.
"Eeew ugly," Josh said laughing.
"Boy I know you ugly, long face, big nose, huge forehead ass ain't talking."
We all started busting out laughing.
"So like...what was in this food cuz we all acting like crackheads now," Trayveon said.
"Ight so like I got an idea."
"What?" Amiya said.
"I already know yo ass gon get us in trouble," Josh said putting his hand over his face.
"Shut up damn. Anyways, I wanna play hide n seek in the mall."
"How one person gonna find us throughout the whole mall dummy," Josh said.
"You always got something to say."
"Anyways, we only gonna use one floor. You only gonna have 4 minutes to hide and 15 minutes to find everybody."
"This gonna be fun as hell," Miya said.
"Yup," Trayveon agreed.
"Ight so we gonna do the 'not it' thing."
"So y'all ready?"
"Man yeah whatever," Josh said.
It's always him.
"Yup," Amiya said.
"Yeah," Trayveon said.
"Ight. One two three. Not it!"
"Not it!" Trayveon said.
"Not it!" Josh said.
"Not-. Dang it," Amiya said.
"Ight so set y'all timers for 5 minutes. Once that five minutes up, set it for 15."
"Ight close yo eyes Miya. No peaking."
"Start the timer now!"
