School just ended. Today I had dance practice so I walked to the bathroom and got changed into my Spandex shorts and a old baseball shirt. I stuffed my clothes into the bag and carried my shoes. I walked out the bathroom as Niyah and Kodie was entering.

Kodie: Oh hey.

Me: Hi.

Kodie: Here.

She handed me a piece of paper. I opened it and it was my last night's homework that I had lost for Science. In the corner was a note. I read it aloud.

Me: Zoe had dropped her papers in the hallway and I helped her pick them up but we both over looked this one. I hope you will still accept her homework. Kodie Williams.

I looked back up at her.

Me: Why the note?

Kodie: So the teacher doesn't think your lying about it.

Me: Oh. Thanks. I think.

Kodie: No problem ma.

I rolled my eyes and walked out. I walked up my my Science teachers room.

Me: Mr. Gapp?

He looked up.

Mr. Gapp: Ms. Matthews , come in.

I walked in and over to his desk and handed him the homework. He looked at me disappointed.

Mr. Gapp: Ms. Matthews , you know I don't accept late work.

Me: Just read the note in the corner.

He read over it and sighed taking the paper from my hands.

Mr. Gapp: Alright. Just this time and just because I know you wouldn't lie. Don't let it happen again.

Me: Alright thank you.

I walked out and down to the gym. I placed my bag beside Kathy's. Kathy and I weren't friends , just acquaintances like everybody else who spoke to me except London , Cloe and my mom.

Kathy: Hey Zoe!

Me: Hey Kathy!

I walked across the gym over to where she was standing.

Kathy: Did you hear?

Me: I don't know.

Kathy: The basketball players are going to be in here today.

Me: Are we going to the other gym?

Kathy: No silly. We're staying in here.

Me: Oh. Okay.

She dreamily smiled.

Kathy: I can see my baby.

I laughed and brought my knees up to my chest wrapping my arms around them.

Me: London is not your baby.

Kathy: Hey , I can dream.

I laughed.

Me: Keep on dreaming chica.

She laughed.

The doors opened and the basketball players walked in. London stuck out her tongue at me. I laughed and did the same to her. She walked over and sat on me.

Me: Girl. You heavy as hell.

She laughed and slapped the back of my head lightly.

London: I am not heavy.

Me: Don't lie to you self.

London: Fight me.

I stood up and she took off I laughed and ran after her.

London: You'll never catch me!

Me: I will when you run into the wall.

She suddenly stop which made me jump on her back.

London: Hey , there's no wall.

Me: Exactly.

She laughed and gave me a piggy back ride.

London: And you got the nerve to call me heavy.

Me: Fuck you.

She laughed.

London: Anytime you want sweetie.

She dropped me.

Me: Ow. That hurt my beautiful butt.

London: I wouldn't call it beautiful.

Me: Shut your face.

London: I would , but to much work.

The coaches blew the whistles and everybody stood up. London slapped my ass and ran off.

Me: I'm gonna get you for that!

London: I wanna see that.

Me: Oh trust me. You will.

We started stretching.

( Cloe )

School had just ended and I knew Zoe had dance practice. I was supposed to have cheer practice but I was gonna skip to go with Jamie and our other friends Carrie and Jasmine to the mall. I had already packed my bag for overnight , so I was gonna stay overnight. Just cause Zoe told me I couldn't go , doesn't mean I have to listen to her. She's my sister , not mom. Therefore she isn't in charge of me. Plus mom is on a business trip , so I can do as I please.

I walked to Jamie's moms car with Jamie , Jasmine and Carrie. I got in the back.

Jamie's mom: Hey girls. How was school?

Us: Good.

Jamie's Mom: Good. I decided to take you girls to the mall.

Us: Okay.

She drove off and I started texting my friend Brandon. We were kinda friends with benefits. I guess. Like we've kissed a few time , but that's probably it for now. We were working on having sex. We were either gonna do it when Zoe and mom isn't home or when his parents isn't home.

Anyways , we pulled up to the mall and we got out. I grabbed my card that mom puts money on. Speaking of mom , she's texting now.

Maaa🌻: Hey sweetie. I'm not gonna keep you for long. I just wanted to see how you and Zoe was doing.

I let the text be and slipped my phone in the back pocket of my Hollister jeans.

Jamie's mom: Okay girls. Have fun , call me if something's wrong or you want to leave. I'll be walking around.

Jamie: Ok.

We walked around.

Jamie: Ugh. Parents.

Me: Older siblings.

Jamie: What? Zoe said you couldn't come?

Me: Yep. She said cause it's a Tuesday. So? It could be Monday , I'll still be here with y'all.

Carrie laughed.

Carrie: She needs some dick.

Jasmine: Dude , she's gay.

Me: Obviously she ain't had nobody eat her out lately.

Jamie: She's probably all dusty down there cause she's like what 30 something?

Me: Try 16.

Carrie: Damn. Then she need to live some , cause she ain't doing shit.

Jasmine: Maybe cause she's busy with school , practice and this knuckle head.

I laughed.

Me: I'm no knuckle head.

Jasmine: You keep telling yourself that.

I laughed and we went in Champs.

Jamie: Hey Cloe , you wanna buy me this?

Me: Not really.

She groaned.

Jamie: Fine.

Me: I'll be back. I'm going to this different shoe store.

Jasmine: Oh. I'm coming too.

Me: Okay.

We went into the shoe store where I get all my customized shoes at and the new releases and other ones. The owner was sitting behind the desk.

Me: Hey. Did my shoes arrive yet?

Owner: Yea ma'am. Here they are now.

She handed me the shoes and I opened the box. I looked at the custom Timbs.

Me: Perfect.

( Zoe )

Practice had ended and I was in my car on my way to pick up Cloe. I didn't bother changing out of my clothes. I just slipped my shoes on.

I pulled up and didn't see her outside like normal. I honked and she didn't come out. I'll just wait. Maybe they ran over.

I waited about 15 minutes before I get out and walked in. The lady behind the desk smiled at me.

Lady: Hi. How may I help you?

Me: You have the attendance for cheer practice right?

Lady: I'd sure hope so considering I'm the coach.

Me: Can you tell me if Cloe Matthews have left yet?

Lady: Actually , Cloe never showed up to practice.

Me: Are you kidding me?

Lady: No ma'am. Everybody showed up except her and another girl.

Me: Okay. Thank you.

I walked back out and got in the car. I called Cloe and she never answered. See , this is why I had a tracker put into her phone knowing her ass may do something like this.

I tracked her and saw she was at the mall. I was highly pissed. I sped off and drove to the mall.

I pulled up and got out getting my keys and phone. I still had my tracker on her. I was furious. She had me out here in spandex and a Baseball muscle tee that barely covered my butt. I walked in the mall and my tracker took me to the food court. I smiled seeing her. I went up to her and stopped when I heard my name come from Cloe's mouth. I stopped to listen.

Jamie: So what are you gonna do?

Cloe: Nothing. I mean like Zoe isn't the boss of me. She acts like she is but she ain't. She really needs to stop acting like our stuck up mother who doesn't care enough to be there for us. Always working. Ew and like Zoe is just ugh. Like she always tells me no , I can't do this and I can't do that. That bitch ain't my damn mother.

I was furious more than I already am. I went up to her and pulled her out the chair by her hair. She turned around and I slapped the hell outta her.

Cloe: Zoe? How could you hit me?

Tears came to her eyes.

Me: I ain't the boss of you!? I need to stop acting like our stuck up mother who doesn't care bough to be there for us!? I always tell you no!? And bitch!? I got your bitch!

I slapped her again.

Me: For one , I am the boss of you cause mom ain't here. Two , our stuck up mother who doesn't care enough to be there for us? Sweetie , whose the one whose busting her ass to make sure we have everything we need and want!?

Zoe: Mom.

Me: Exactly. So that's why she can't be there for us. Three , when have I ever told you no beside when I said you can't sleep over because of a Tuesday.

Zoe was quiet.

Me: Exactly. So get your shit and let's go.

??: You can't take her.

Me: Watch me. She's my sister , and who are you?

??: Jamie's mother.

Me: Well mother of that girl , you need to start have sleep overs on Fridays or something. Like the fuck.

Zoe grabbed her things and I took her phone.

Me: You'll get this back when I see you've changed. Now walk.

We walked off.
