Chapter 2: Mommy
Rosalina POV
"Hey guys." Alex said as he and his friend, Juanita, got to his locker.
"Hey bud." I said, noticing his baggy pants. I pulled them up to their proper place on his waist. "Where's the belt I bought you for your birthday?"
"Right here." He said, bending down and pulling it out of his trashy locker. His pants fell down again.
Ignoring him, I say, "You know, you really should clean this thing out."
"I know, you tell me this everyday, mom." Alex complained. Since Nat and Alex's mom died almost nine years ago, I've been making it my job to look out for the boys. Even if they don't like it.
"So, Juanita, what are your spring break plans?" Nat asked, trying to change the subject.
"My older brother, Deon, and I are going to Florida to skate with some of the pros." Juanita said.
"Okay I'm done." Alex said, slamming his locker done shut. He gave Juanita a hug. "Have fun in Florida and tell Mitchie I say hi."
"Alright, have fun in L.A. dude." Juanita said as we walked away. Alex nodded his head. We walk out to my car where the rest of the guys are waiting. I pull my keys out of my pocket and unlock the doors. As Cooper, Thomas, David, and Qaasim piled into the back of my white jeep, Alex and Nat squeezed in next to me in the front.
"Seatbelts." I remind them, glancing in the rearview mirror at Thomas, who is known for not wearing his.
"Yes Mommy," They all say in a mocking voice. I started the car and backed out of my parking spot.
"Where are we going Cooper?" I ask as we stop at the light down the street.
"I'm hungry." Thomas announces.
"Great, Coop, where are we going?" I ask again.
"I'm hungry too." David complained.
"Let's make a quick stop at McDonald's then to the recording studio. We need to record one song before we leave for L.A." Cooper said. The guys started cheering because they know how much I hate when we stop for food.
"Thomas, don't eat that much." I tell him.
"Alright, whatever,"
