1980/ Houston TX.
I was sitting on the porch step writing in a diary about my future plans and of course it has a lock on it and I keep it and the key in my system storage but most importantly I need to start earning some money some type of way.
"Status" I thought while closing my diary and throwing it in the air with it disappearing to my storage.

"Maybe I can get some startup money from my deabeat dad since I heard he was visiting." I thought while making my status window disappear and got up and went inside the house while locking the door behind me and heading towards the living room.
As I walked into the living and seen big mama in the same spot as always.
"Alina make sure your dressed well because family members are coming over for your grandmother's 60tht birthday." Said big mama calmly.
I nodded and saidcorrecting her while also asking a question "I know and you mean her 56th birthday party but why aren't any decorations up."
"Because she doesn't want a big party." Said big mama clearly ignoring my correction while I was thinking about how big mama is 105 years old this year and just refuses to die.
I went to the book shelf and took a book and sat on the couch next to big mama and opend the book and started reading it to pass the time.
TIMESKIP: a couple minutes later.
While I was enjoying my free time my grandmother came back with my deadbeat father mathew who also brought his girlfriend with him Which is soon to be tina knowles lawson which is also beyonce's mom which I could careless about because if she has a problem with me i don't mind settling it.
I looked at most of my family walking into the living room and looked straight at my deabeat father while imagining a money sign on his face.
I looked away from the deabeat father and turned to my grandmother and said "Happy birthday grandma."
"Thank you alina." Said my grandmother feeling good about herself.
"Why does she look the same way she Looked when I was five must be genetics and she takes good care of herself and uses some good hygiene stuff." I thought while analyzing her from head to toe.
"What." Asked my grandmother catching me staring while flicking her hair.
"Nothing you just look the same as when I was five." I said while looking back to my book not wanting to boost her ego.
"Is that a compliment." Asked my grandmother while flicking her hair again either head raised upward.
"Duhh." I said While reading my book while my grandmother shrugged and walked to the kitchen to help the nurse prepare the food.
While I was reading my deadbeat father sat down next to me while celestine went to also help with the food.
"Did you miss me alina." Asked mathew wita smile thinking we are close.
"No." I said shooting all his hopes down on the spot.
Matthew had a shocked face and looked down sad but cheered up quickly making me wonder if he also had mental issues.
Matthew pulled out his wallet and took out five one hundred dollars from his wallet and said with a persuasive voice "I'll give you this if you can forgive me from my absence from most of your life."
"Yea, no that's not gonna work." I said while snatching the money out of his hands.
"Why I basically gave you five hundred dollars." Asked mathew with a confused and offended look.
"Because if you want my forgiveness your gonna have to start giving me allowances since not even money can earn someone's love." I said lieing halfway.
"Who doesn't love money" I thought while stroking the money in my hands.
"Deal." Said mathew immediately.
"Well that was easy" I thought while shaking mathews hand and as he got up and left I took the hand sanitizer from the stand next to me and squirted alot on my hands and started scrubbing my hands together madly.
I paused and said loudly and savagely to mathew who was walking off "I'm expecting my first check this meager five hundred dollars was just down payment."
Mathew paused and then continued walking while crying happily thinking he finally got a daughter's love, thinking he can jump back into my life and be a father.
"Now I can cross that off my list secondly how do I start doing some gigs to get some exposure maybe I can ask grandma mia" I thought while putting my money in my pocket but actually making it go to my storage.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR DAUGHTER HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU." Said Grandma Mia singing opera in a high note while walking into the living room just now arriving.
"MOMMA STOP." Said my grandmother screaming from the kitchen at the top of her lungs clearly embarrassed by her mother still treating her like a baby at her age.
I chuckled and jumped off the couch and ran up to grandma mia and asked expectantly and in case your confused which I would be two, grandma mia is my grandmother's mother and big mama's daughter and she's 76 years old, yeah I know right family genetics are strong "Grandma mia can you let me sing with you on one of your opera shows."
"Well I'll see what I can do but you might be at school depending on what day my concert is on ." Said grandma mia, clearly not caring about my age while rubbing my head.
I nodded and went and sat back on the couch and continued reading my book while grandma mia went to the kitchen to see what was taking so long and me being me I didnt follow.
*SNORES*
I continued reading my book not minding big mama at all.
*SNORES*
I looked up from my book and closed it and slammed it on the nightstand table.
*BAM*
"WHO DIED." Said big mama jolting awake making me seriously wonder how this family's brain operates.
I looked at her and rolled my eyes and turned to the tv to watch, to past the time.
TIMESKIP: a couple minutes later.
"Alina wake up dear." Said grandma mia waking me up.
I woke up, rubbing my eyes and looked around and seen everyone gatherd in a circle around my grandmother ready to sing her happy birthday.
"Oh is it time to sing happy birthday." I asked while adjusting back to reality and preparing my mentality for the craziness of this family.
"Yes." Said grandma mia.
I Nodded and got up from the Couch and went to join everyone while of course big mama was still in the same spot.
"Ok everyone on the count of three." Said grandma mia.
"One." Said grandma mia.
"Two." Said grandma mia.
"Three." Said grandma mia.
"OH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, OH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SELENA, OH HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU." Said everyone and yes my grandmother's name is selena.
"OH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU." I Said singing in a raspy high note, making everyone look at me in surprise.
"What." I said not embarrassed at all.
"With a gospel voice like that I'll definitely put you in one of my opera shows." Said grandma mia already thinking about the money.
I had a surprised look while ignoring celestines facial expression and thought while having some ideas "Yes fantasia's soprano voice was very suited for gospel"
"We should put her in a quire." Said big mama wanting to take me to church with her probably forgetting she killed someone.
"Who knows how many people big mama killed during her time" I thought while secretly staring at her.
"Yes that's a good idea." Said grandma mia while my grandmother also nodded and of course my deabeat dad having no say in my life since he was absent which my grandmother has been addressed
"TIME FOR THE CAKE." Said grandma mia loudly running to the kitchen making me roll my eyes for the zillionth time.
TIMESKIP: The next day.
I was currently at school in my classroom doing my work like the faithful nerd I am.
"Psst crystalline." Said a male classmate.
I looked up from my work and looked at the little boy In front of me and said with a stank face "What pipsqueak."
"Wanna be my girlfriend." Asked the little boy, shrugging the disrespect off.
"Fuck off." I said shooting him down with no guilt.
The little boy turned around with a sad face like he was about to cry and me being me I didn't care in the slightest like why in the seven hell's would I date a kid even if we are the same age, I have the mind of an adult and I'm already labeled as a prodigy by the teachers I don't need a pissy dick brat to ask what im doing every second.
I rolled my eyes and got back to work while thinking about what songs I should sing at grandma mia's opera show.
"I won't give up" thought the little boy, secretly clenching his fist, clearly not taking a hint.

THE END...
