Corey's POV

I was sleeping peacefully until I heard this sound coming from my night stand. I looked over and saw my phone light up. I automatically answered not knowing who it was.

"Nigga wake-up!" I heard Courtney say.

"Huh!" I said confused.

"Nigga you missed the bus. I been calling you for the past twenty minutes." she said.

"Are you serious?" I said as I shot out the bed.

"Yeah and I know ya momma ain't up either so good luck with that. Later." she said laughing and hung up the phone.

I know mom and dad sleep and I know my sisters are gone. Now I gotta wake this woman out of her sleep to take me to school. I'm so glad tomorrow is Saturday. I walked out of my room to my parent’s room. I open the door and there they were sleep. I tip toed to moms side of the bed and gently shook her.

"Ma" I said shaking her and she's not waking up.

"Ma" I said again shaking her a little more and she starts to move.

"What boy!" she said eyes still closed.

"I missed the bus, I over slept." when I said that her eyes shot open.

"Shawn, how did you oversleep?" She said.

Ok she called me Shawn, she's pissed.

"I forgot to set my alarm." I said.

"Are you dressed?" she asked.

"No." I said looking down at my basketball shorts 'cause I had on no shirt.

"Hurry up and get ready." she told me as she got up.

"O.K." I said as I left they room to go back to mine. 

Good thing I laid out my clothes last night. I took a quick shower and got dressed. I put on the white polo and khaki pants. I wore some Jordan's, my Jesus piece and a black fitted snapback. I grabbed my backpack and went down stairs. My mom wasn't down there yet so I grabbed an apple out the fridge and munched on that. When I was almost finished with the apple mom came down the stairs with some jeans, Nike dunks and shirt. Her hair was in a messy bun and she had on shades.

"Corey let’s go!" she said.

I threw the apple away and followed my mom out to the car. We got in the range rover and she turned on the radio. She didn't talk to me at all. Damn, is she really mad?

"Ma are you mad?" I asked her.

"No, you just woke me up out of my sleep and y'all know I like my sleep." she said.

"Yeah, we'll I didn't mean to over sleep. If Court didn't call me I would still be sleep." I told her.

She nodded her head and kept on driving. When we arrived she had to park and had to sign me into school. When me and my mom got into school we walked to the office. On the way there I ran into to the same girl that talked to me earlier in the week.

"Hey Shawn." she said as we were walking towards the office.

"Hey sweetie." I said as I kept walking.

I looked to my left and my mom was staring at me.

"What?" I said smiling.

"Who was that girl you was calling sweetie?" she asked.

"To be honest I have no clue, I don't remember her name so sweetie is the first thing that popped up." I told her.

"You better watch that." she said.

We kept walking until we got to the office. She signed me in and left. I went to my class. It was almost the end of second period. I walked into the class and showed the teacher my late slip. He gave me my assignment and told me I could turn it in tomorrow. I sat in the back where I usually sit and waited for the class to be over. When the bell rung I left class to go to my third period class which is my computer graphics class which is almost a free period. It's also the only class me a Court got together. I saw her when I came in class.

"Look who got out of bed this morning." she said.

"Ha ha, real funny." I said sitting down next to her.

"So how did your mom take being woken up this morning?" she asked laughing.

"She called me Shawn." I told her.

"Damn, someone was pissed." she said.

"Yeah, what you doing tomorrow?" I asked her.

"I gotta ask your mom if I can stay for the weekend cause my mom going out of town." she said.

"O.K. Cool. Will figure out something to do because this is the last weekend for a while that mom and dad will be here at the same time." I said.

“Nice chain, but aint that your dad’s.” she said

“Yeah, you can say borrowed it.” I said

“Or took it, I guess it means the same thing.” She said laughing.

"Oh whatever" I said before the teacher started talking.
