Karma Brown Chapter 3

I walked into the living room and sat beside my mom. My brothers and Kyra were all looking at me. "Wat yall looking at?" I said getting annoyed at them. "We are looking at you. Because you got dudes calling you." Kevin said. Kevin, Chris, and Sean all look like my dad. They’re all tall and they have his black eyes and his long black hair. All four of us have my mom’s brown sugar complexion. "Why you worried about it." I asked. "We worried about it because we lived here for only two days and you already got dudes calling." Chris said. "The last time I checked, you weren’t my daddy. Besides he just called to see wat school I’m going to. I wanna know why yall all up in my bidness but not in Kyra’s." I said. Kyra rolled her eyes at me. I blew her a kiss.

"Kevin you still want me to do your hair?" I asked on the stairs. My brothers always wear their hair in braids. I do them most of the time. My brothers are really gansta, so they only get them going straight back. "Yeah, so hurry up." Kevin said unplugging the X-Box 360 and going in the den. "Don’t rush me nigga." I said back. I went up to my room and grabbed my supplies. I also changed into some sky blue booty shorts that showed my belly ring and a sky blue tank that had sequined hearts all over it.

I went back downstairs, right when I was about to turn the corner the doorbell rung. My mom just got in the shower and everyone else was in the den. I sat my stuff on the couch and answered the door. In front of me were two sexy looking brotha’s. One had light brown eyes and one had a tattoo on his neck. The one with the tattoo was holding a cake. "Wuz up." I said. The one with the cake spoke first. "How you doin, my mom sent us over to give you this cake." He said handing me the cake. I took it. "Thank you. But why would you wait until it was 9:00 at night." I asked. "My mom was the one that sent us over here. We didn’t ask to do this. So why don’t you take this cake, so we can go on with our bidness." The boy with the light brown eyes said. In my head I’m thinking ‘Who the hell he think he is.’ But instead I say this…"I don’t know you talking to, cuz you aint talking to me like that. All I did was ask why you came over here so late, ya don’t need to get loud. Cuz I will go straight ghetto on you." I said with major attitude.

Then I yelled for Chris to come to the door. He came a few seconds later. "Wat is it Karma? I’m in the middle of a game." Chris complained. I forced the cake into his hands then I grabbed my supplies. "You handle them before I get ghetto on the bammas." I said. I walked out the living room and into the den.

"Who was at the door?" Kevin asked. I sat my stuff down and got behind Kevin. "These two bammas, AKA our neighbors." I said with a lot of attitude. Right after I said that Chris came back into the den, followed by the bammas. I rolled my eyes at them then started to braid Kevin’s hair. "Karma stop calling people names. These are my new homeboys: Malik and Maurice." Chris said. Maurice and Malik gave dap to Sean and Kevin and gave Kyra and me a head nod. Karma we got company now, go change your clothes." Sean said. Not even looking up from Kevin’s head I asked… "Why do I need to change?" "The shorts are to short and the top is to tight." Sean said. Now I looked at him. "I wear outfits like these all the time at night, even when we have company. If someone is bothered by the way I am dressed speak up, and I mean the guest." I said with attitude. When no one said anything I went back to braiding Kevin’s hair. "So we should get going. Hey it was nice meeting yall." Maurice said. "Hey wat school you going to?" Malik asked. We’re all going to Johnson High." Chris answered. "Fo sho. Man we got yours and your peeps back." Malik said. Then they left.
