London:

"Paris u got your shoes on" I called out to my 3-year-old daughter. "Yes Mommy" she replied running into the living room where I stood getting all of our stuff together.

Let me properly introduce myself I am London I'm 22 years old I do hair and nails for a living right now I'm working on getting my own shop. I have a 3-year-old daughter as Y'all can already see.

I live in a 4 bedroom 3 1/2 bathroom house in which my 16-year-old sister China lives with me. My brother comes by every once in a while to check on us being that he lives way across town and has to work most of the time so we barely see him. You probably wondering where my parents are...well my mom disowned all of us and moved to another state with some man that is now her broke ass husband she only comes around when she needs money and I don't give it to her and that leads to 'London your disrespectful your supposed to give me money I'm your mother' or 'You ungrateful b***h I took care of you why won't u take care of me'.

In all reality, my mom walked out on us when Israel was 10 I was 7 and China was 1.

My dad is the biggest drug lord of Atlanta even though it's dangerous I'm proud that he actually cares for us and actually treats us like family. I don't really visit my mom's side of the family they well some of them are too boujee and too grimy but I do visit my granny.

Stopping and checking myself in my living room mirror making sure I looked good I gave my self a huge smile. "China let's go, you already late" I called to her opening the door as Paris raced to the car leaving me to get her bag. I picked up the bag as China walked past me with her headphones in and walked to the car shaking my head I closed the door and locked it and pressed the unlock button on my keypad unlocking all the doors.

Everybody got in and got themselves situated I double checked to make sure Paris was secure in her seat before driving off and heading towards the closest Chick-fil-A to get breakfast.

Pulling up to the drive threw I let down my window and lightly tapped China and pointed to the menu as I browsed through my purse for my wallet once I found it I took out my card.

"I want the chicken biscuit with the hash browns and an orange juice" China said as I nodded already knowing what Paris wanted I ordered and drove up to pay and drove up again to collect my food. After I check the bags I drove off heading towards China's school shes late but she will be all right.

She attends South Forsyth High School as a Junior. Which reminds me her birthday is in 2 weeks. Pulling up at the school we got out as China grabbed her food and book bag and Paris latched onto my hand as I grabbed the bag of food along with Paris' bag and walked into the school.

Y'all probably like why do I need all of this to go into a school and I don't even attend school. Let me give you an insight my Uncle is the Principal and my other auntie is the cosmetology teacher here so when I'm free I come and help with the cosmetology class.

We walked to the office as China signed in and I went to my uncle's office. He was on the phone with someone. Paris ran to him and gave him a hug as I walked towards him and hugged him also before walking out with Paris and proceeding out of the office and down towards the cosmetology class as I entered I smiled and waved at the students and went to my Auntie's desk.

"Mommy food," Paris said while pointing at the bag. "Yeah Pearbear hold on," I said while placing my belongings behind the desk and gave Paris her food.

"Hey Ms. Hilton," one of the girls said walking up to the desk I looked up and it was Malaysia she's a pretty girl she just gets picked on a lot by the other students. I mean none of these girls have anything on her she is really pretty and keeps herself together... like she wears the latest styles, she keeps her hair and nails done, and she is very smart and also cares about the way she carries herself. She has been through a lot i know this because we have these type of conversations she has been through the same type of situations.

"Malaysia I tell you all the time to call me London," I said smiling a little if anything this is my baby I always buy her lunch and she is at my house sometimes because she and China are friends. "Sorry London you know its a habit I'm so used to talking to your auntie and saying Mrs. Hilton," she said while giggling lightly. "I know what you mean" i said "My brother got a crush on you he said he had one on you since high school" she said causing me to laugh her brother always had a lil crush on me and he will not let it go when i was in high school he use to come to my dads house to be with my brother and he use to constantly pass by my room when me and my best friend had our lil sleep overs.

"Your brother liked me for a long time he ain't had a gf yet?" i asked while laughing lightly. "He had dated two different females and still is dating one of those girls" she said while rolling her eyes and looking down. Right then and there i knew something was wrong. "What's wrong babes" i asked hugging her. "he doesn't pay attention to me anymore and when he does his gf always ruins it" she said while wiping her face.
