Chapter 5

Tilee's pov

I just got my bills paid yesterday and now I'm sitting at the kitchen countertop, watching Yani make breakfast. Me and my sister take turns making breakfast each day, and today was her day "So, did u get some in?" Yani asked me yet another stupid question "I don know what u mean by that" I replied. Today was the day I've been waiting for, for a long time, it was Huey and Riley's big promotion day, even though Riley was the boss. We all invited out friends at a backyard party, I couldn't wait. I know neither of us mentioned this day at all, but it was not to be mentioned, because when we did, time seemed slower and slower, so we didn't talk about it.

"Ok, whateva than" Yani replied

"Did you even pick anything to wear?" I inquired, she just shoke her head "No"

"Pushover" I Mumbled "Bitch, I heard tat" I heard Yani yell

"Yea and I ain't waitin for yo ass to get ready" and with that, I walked upstairs. My life may seem perfect, but it's not really that great, I have bills, bad relationships, night terrors, more bills, bad habits that I can't break for shit. Life sometimes isn't worth dealing with I use to tell myself that every night, but I stopped, I soon realized that no matter how hard it gets, you have to live your life to the fullest, and since I have Huey now, life will be much easier for me than before.

A few minutes later

I wore regular skinny jeans with a blue crop top with a plain denim vest and black flats. I thought I looked simple but cute; after all, it's just a picnic.

"Tilee, get down here now! The girls are here!" Yani said from downstairs. I rushed down stairs to see

Cindy,Lilly. Laytoya, Rasha, and… Ming?! Who the hell invited this bitch? Everyone knows I hate her… wait a second, where's Jasmine? Ming just smirked at me; she wore a plain navy blue summer dress with plain blue flats, ugly ass hoe.

I crossed my arms over my chest and observed the other girls outfits

Laytoya wore her hair in her regular waterfall braid that ended at her back. She also wore a simple red low cut top with white short shorts, and red and white converse boots "Yes, the converse boots with the heels" Cindy wore a Blue, yellow and white basketball jersey white baggy blue pants, her hair in one braid. Rasha wore her hair down and curly with a simple blue and white striped summer maxi dress with golden sandels. Lilly wore her Mohawk as usual; she also wore a gray low cute top that said "20" in white bold colors, which was ironic because she was 20-years old. She wore white washed skinny jeans with white wedges "Heya Mate!" Lilly pulled me into a killer hug "Hey Bestie!" I hugged her back. Lilly and I went way back to my childhood in Los Angeles, Crenshaw. "Sup girl!" Latoya hugged me I hugged her back "I missed you!" Rasha said hugging me. Cindy hugged me and Yani, who came in late wearing the same thing she wore at Spark' night, Ming sitting there with her hateful self-crossing her arms over her chest like she wasn't scared of nobody. She better be scared of me, because I can kick her ass until next week "Let's just go" Ming said, all of us following her to Laytoya's Silver Cadillac ats. Somehow, we all fit in the car, but I just shrugged it off as Laytoya started the engine. "The boys are already at the park" Rasha started "Including my crazy ass Bro, Danny" Rasha finished "Can't wait" Lilly sarcastically mocked, making everyone except for Ming laugh "I can't wait ta see young reezy!" Yani and Cindy said in unison. I shoke my head as we were on the street, driving and acting crazy. "PULL IN HERE!" Rasha yelled at Laytoya for the hundredth time today "I know where the damn park is, hold you horses" Latoya chuckled, pulling into a parking lot "Yay! We at the park, we at the park! Yea-yea mate!" Lilly jumped out the car, her Australian accent booming with excitement. All of us got out in our cute, but simple, outfits, well except for Ming's, she looked like she got that straight from Wal-Mart. "Rasha" I asked, she was the one holding the picnic basket "Umhmm" She asked "How come Jasmine didn't come?" I asked, completely worried and concerned about Jasmine's disappearance "She was too busy to come, I guess" Rasha shrugged, but soon her lips turned into an excited smile "DANNY!" Rasha ran over to hug her little brother, who was 20 years old. The other boys sitting at the picnic table, talking about BS, except for Huey of course "Hey, Huey" I greeted him simply. "Hey" He smiled his rare and charming grin, which was so cute. "Nigga, where da food,I wanna eat!" Riley complained "Here baby" Yani handed him a napkin, laughing "I can't eat tis!" He yelled "then wait, inpatient ass nigga" Yani crossed her arms, making herself and Cindy laugh "The grub will be ready when it's ready, mates" Lilly shrugged. Rasha sat between her brother Danny and her best friend David, who was sitting next to Carmichael. Caesar sat next to Huey, Riley sat between Cindy and Yani, Lilly and Latoya and Ming went to the left side of the table to sit. Hiro sat next to Caesar's left, and I sat on Huey's right, smiling happily to myself, because I was having a long get together with my long time best friends"Kk, here's the real food" Yani placed sandwiches, soda, water of course, and some kind of dessert on the table "Uhh, Yani. This dessert looks like throw up" Riley repeated something from years ago "Nigga, what?!" Cindy and Yani hit him upside the head at the same time "OW!" Riley yelled, making everyone except Ming and Huey laugh.

"I worked hard on tis" Yani passed it to Rasha

"Word" Cindy threw up a peace sign

I already knew that this day was going to be a long one.
