Jayla walks inside her room and takes off her shoes I was at my friends house mom.
kendra follows her into her room and stands in the doorway with her arms crossed
at 11pm? You know you were supposed to be home by 10pm
she said with a firm voice
I'm sorry. I didn't realize what time it was.
kendra rolls her eyes
you’re always sorry, how many times I have to tell you when I say 9pm your ass should be home by 9:30!
Jayla walks inside her room and slams the door behind her
kendra walks up to her room and opens the door

i’m sorry mom I had to take care of something
kendra look at him with her arms crossed
you could’ve called me first or text me and let me know you’re gonna be late
she say sternly while looking at him
I'm sorry I lost track of time...I was at the library studying for my math exam.
kendra raises an eyebrow, not entirely convinced by her daughter’s excuse
The library, huh? At 11 pm? You know they’re closed by then, Jayla. Are you sure that’s where you’ve been all this time?
Christopher comes into the house tired from working all day and night
kendra sighs as she sees him come in she’s still pissed at Jayla

kendra says as she goes into the kitchen to get a bottle of water

kendra turns her head to look at you
Oh hey she says as she walks over to you and whispers in your ear
