Chapter One

"’Cause I’m getting ready, I sang along with Tasha Cobbs-Leonard, for my birthdayyyyyy." Okay, so the song doesn’t actually go like that, but I was so excited! I was in my bedroom getting ready for my twelfth birthday dinner celebration at Pappadeaux’s, one of my favorite seafood restaurants.

Now that I was twelve, there would be no more birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese, Funplex, or The Main Event. I wanted to do something more mature, which is why I decided on a dinner with my family and close friends. My birthday outfit was a Victoria’s Secret PINK hoodie, a pair of ripped blue jeans, and some pink UGG boots (if you haven’t guessed pink is my favorite color), and I’d gotten my hair relaxed and flat ironed at the hair salon.

An hour later, I was screaming my head off at the restaurant as my parents presented me with my very first cell phone. I jumped all over my mom and dad, hugging and kissing them as if they were near death. Now everyone within my circle of friends had their own cell phone. I was so happy to no longer be the odd one out.

Yesss, we can blow up each other’s phones all night! my friend Cierra Douglas said. She and our girl, Kacee Howard, high-fived.

I don’t think so, Ahmani Stewart my mom said, looking like a bigger version of me with her long hair and hazel eyes. Remember your nine p.m. phone curfew. And the minute I peek into your room and catch you sneaking in some texts or calls past nine, the phone is mine.

She didn’t have to worry about that because I didn’t plan on doing anything stupid to get my phone taken away. I felt truly blessed. I was twelve years old with an awesome family, give or take my big-headed eight-year-old brother A.J., which was short for Ahmad Junior, and I had the bestest friends in the entire world. Yes, I said bestest.

I met Kacee and Londyn Parker in the first grade when we were all in the same class. Pretty soon we were spending some Saturday nights having sleepovers and would attend church together the next morning. Cierra and her bad attitude came along in the fourth grade. She’s chilled out a lot, but I’ve still gotta check her sometimes. We have sleepovers every second and fourth Saturday of the month, and we get up and go to our church, Life in the Word, on Sunday mornings. My daddy nicknamed us The Slumber Sisters, and our theme scripture is Matthew 18:20, For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.

But from the looks of things, Kacee and Cierra may end up as sisters for real! Kacee’s mom and Cierra’s
