"now ya stuttering fuckin pussy." i said.

"please sit down acadia i don't want to send you out also."

"not you buying me food." i said as malia sat down a bag infront at me.

we were currently at lunch,"of course i did." she said sitting beside me.

"as you should." i said and watched as she took one of my fries.

"i ain't ate all day." she said.

"i- why??"

"cause when i eat before practice i throw up." she said and i narrowed my eyes at her.

"fine fineee i'll tell you later though." she said and i nodded.

"ohhh about earlier...well like my other mother is back." i said before taking a bite out of my burger.

"i- huh?? i thought it was only adaliya...and sahari."

"nigga i've told you, about journey." i said and she stared into space.

"ohhhh- wait she's alive." she said and i nodded.

"how-"

"girl i ain't telling allat hell know she's alive." i said and she nodded.

"she know you gay yet?"

"damn can she get settled in first, plus mama probably then informed her already either way it don't matter...like we all really a house of gay people well i don't know what sahari will be." i said and shrugged as i took a sip of my sprite.

i felt sumn cold water hit my back making me get up fast as fuck,"yo—" i stopped mid-sentence seeing one of malia's ex.

i don't think shawty understand...her name is lisa and she use to date malia freshman year then they broke up due to lisa cheating and some other stuff.

and now shawty got all kinda beef wit me just cause me and malia talk now like what-

"oh my fuckin god— dawg the fuck wrong wit you." malia said pushing lisa back to put some space between us.

yeah...she know i'll beat that ass.

i let out a frustrated sigh taking off my hoodie, well...it was a hoodie from mama that she actually got from journey-

"what you mean what's wrong with me!? you were just wit me last night and now being all friendly with this bitch!" she yelled making me snap my neck her way.

"wanna call me out my name again???" i asked but malia immediately pulled me back to her.

"hold...hold on- she was with you??? what time??" i asked lisa..

"uhhh...10 o'clock..." she said and i laughed.

"now i know your fuckin lying me and her had been on facetime since 8 o'clock and ain't nobody sleep till 12am hoe." i snapped and watched her face drop.

"lisa gone somewhere always tryna start shit." malia said throwing napkins on the floor where the spill was.

"b-but please malia i'm sorry i miss-"

"don't even finish that dumbass sentence that shit was two years ago ight let it be and stop messing wit me or acadia got it??" malia said

"and don't ever call her out her name again, like deadass i'm tired of yo shenanigans to try and make us stop talking to each other but me and her gonna be fo' life whether anybody like it or not." malia added on making me smile a lil.

okay daddy tell em-

the bell rung and i had noticed some people paying attention.

where tf the teachers-

"hey hey who made this mess???" a janitor asked.

"i got it mr.wright where the mops at?" malia asked and followed him.

i grabbed my trash and could still feel lisa watching me,"if you got sumn to say say it now..." i said and she only looked me up and down before walking away.

"what i thought scary hoe..." i said rolling my eyes.

••••

"MOMMY!!!!" i yelled walking inside and my mama instantly popped into the living room.

"shut all that hollering up, journey just got sahari to take a nap." she said and hugged me.

"and the school called me about your first class, and no i'm not mad at you you stood up for a kid and yourself so." she said making me smile.

"hey ma." malia said gaining her attention.

"ohh hey i didn't know you were coming over today." she said.

"oh i was just dropping acadia off, i was gonna head out-"

"you can stay if you want chile i don't care." mama said then walked to the kitchen.

"see i told you." i told malia and she flipped me off as we sat on the couch.

"when???" i asked and she smacked her lips.

"gurl gone...last time i had yo legs shaking just from fingering you." she said.

"i don't think i was suppose to hear that-" i quickly looked back and saw journey aka mom.

"she's playing aint nun been in my cooter." i lied and i knew mom ain't believe me.

"mhm...don't worry i ain't gonna say nun y'all do y'all shit." journey said then walked into the kitchen.

i grabbed a pillow and quickly threw it at malia,"really???" i said and she laughed.

"my bad...she came in wrong time anyways, so that's my other mother-in-law?" she asked and i just shook my head.

"she seems cool." she said.

"i mean i've only known her the past weekend but she's chill." i said going on my phone.

"i- damn if you ain't wanna talk to me just say that." malia said and i put my phone down.

"awe i'm sorry stink." i said hugging her and mushing my face against hers.

"girl— get the fuck off me before one of them come in here-" she said tryna push me back making me laugh.
