sinar, ray sinar, ray is sketching a drawing of nikita simmons in his sketchbook as he is on his tempat tidur and his room is a mess. His mother already told him dozen of times to keep that damn room cleaned.
Beyonce: Before I get halaman awal i expect this room to be clean and spotless. (ray sinar, ray starts to mimick her words with his hands

Ray: Yeeeeesssss mother i hear you.
B: Don't play wit me now
Ray: Alite.
After he puts the finishing touches on his artwork, he hears a knock on the oor in the distance as if it sounds like the front door, followed oleh a doorbell chime.
Cedric: COMING!
Cedric opens the door and In comes roc wit a hug for his kewl uncle.
Cedric: Heyyyy little man what's happenin? (he asked roc)
Roc: Nutten much, jus hangin and wanted to see anda guys as he pulled away from his uncle's embrace. Ced asked roc...
Cedric: Where is little bit?
Roc: Lol, she's coming as he walks around looking for me (ray ray)
"Little bit" (china) as my dad calls his niece comes runnin in
China: UNCLE CEDDY BEAR!
Cedric bends down to scoop up china and kissess her on the cheek.
Ceddric: How's my niece doin?
China giggled out loud as dad tickled her tummy and her legs were kicking, tryin to make him stop ticklin her, So he got the idea and placed her down on the floor.
China: I'm doin ok Uncle ceddy
Ced: Are anda ready for middles school young lady?
China was nervous but politely nodded yes.
Ced: Aww, don't be nervous it's gonna be ok, you'll see. Besides you'll have your big brother going along with you.
China: Yea, that is true she admitted.
But sadly, her face turned into a frown because she knew it would be roc's last tahun at South holly Middle School. Just then raven walked, leaned backward, tilted her head and shouted HEYYYYYYY anda GUYSSSSSSS, (Suike, i'm juss messin wit ya) But she said
Raven: HEYYYYYYYYYY FAAAAM
With her arms wide open waitin to see who gone hug her first. Dad imitated her gesture but shouted...
Cedric: HEYYYYYYYYYY RAVEEEEN
As he walked meneruskan, ke depan to her and she walked meneruskan, ke depan to him until they met each other and they both laughed out loud and hugged one another.China sat on the sofa in the living room with a discerning face at her big sister raven. She thought to herself as she balled up her hand and had her arm propped up against her right cheek wondering why she doesn't tampil the same emotion towards her like that? Just then Fizz came in rockin a sean jean hoodie, dark washed jeans, nikes, a fitted hat, an stunna shades wit his pony tail hangin in the back and walkin up in our house as if he was somebody famous.
Fizz: Wass up, wass up, WASSUUUUP FAM?
(crickets chirping)
He asked to anyone who was listening. Most times Fizz can be so lame, but at the same time he looked fresh doin it. At first nobody had berkata anything like, who is dis nigga and why is he here? He then took off his shades like a boss atau so he thought and reasked the pertanyaan like he asked earlier except this time he threw his arms out to the side and asked
Fizz: Oh yaw'll dont hear me up in dis piece?
Everyone in da room turned around and faked replied with a little hint of enthusiasm and said
Everyone: Heyyyy Fizzz
Cuz u know he is the unpopular sibling lol. Anywayz, Fizz is a college dropout. He claim to have gone to Ashton Community College which was out of town, a perfectly good reason why China and Roc didn't see their brother often because let's face it he's lame and he be actin major ratchet most of the time. He's unsuccessful as well. He berkata he had wanted to open up his own business when he was seventeen. He wanted to own a car wash, but that didn't happen. He failed to go out and get a job he just sits in the house all hari eatin up uncle cool j and auntie lisa's food while eveyone is out an about at either school atau work, he's mostly at the house. Since he claimed that Bojangles didnt want to hire him because he was too much of a boss and that the managers was actin ratchet and that they were juss hatin on him and his so called swag. Well one night he saw an ad on tv for Ashton community college where they will help anda find the right career with the best tools, skills, and resources ashton community college does it all, what lies, but anywayz yea the commercial worked and hooked him in and the very selanjutnya hari he went and applied online. He ain had no kinda scholarship cuz his grades were awful back in highskool. He had no job to pay for the tuition so who do anda think he went to and asked for some money from? If anda guessed his parents, then anda WRONG!
It was my brother drizzy itik jantan, drake that offered him a loan. Fizz's parents don't just throw money out there anda gotta earn it an since he wasn't workin no where, nor continued to pursue other opportunities and ftry to land an interview, oh well i guess he thought that ship had sailed long time ago. So yea, drizzy gave him a loan cuz fizz looked up to drake. He was what "ideally," everything fizz wanted to be. My brother is very successful, he is a bidness man, he owns and manages a barbershop chain called itik jantan, drake Cutz. He has excellent work ethic, (it comes from mom oleh the way) and he is supafly with the ladies. Sooo, anywayz, fizz thanked itik jantan, drake for the loan and took the money for the tuition and left the shop. But before fizz could get any further itik jantan, drake shouted after fizz...
FLASHBACK SCENE
Drake: AYE YO FIZZ!
itik jantan, drake opens the door and is outside the shop.
Fizz turned around countin the cash
Fizz: Huh? Oh hey itik jantan, drake wassup?
itik jantan, drake caught up to fizz and told him
Drake: Yo, I gotchu on my tab so I kno how much anda borrowed from me.
Fizz not looking at itik jantan, drake continued to count the money and nodded to whatver itik jantan, drake was saying
Fizz: Yooo, I gotchu my nigga, don't worry about nothin ok?
itik jantan, drake thought to himself, that is exactly what I am worried about, NOT gettin my money back.
Drake: So listen, before anda go out to the college anda need to deposit the money into a checking account.
Fizz stopped counting because what itik jantan, drake berkata threw him off and yet it was sounded like something that needed to be heard.
Fizz had that slow face on while itik jantan, drake had the ok-I'm-gonna-have-to-break-it-down-for-you face on.
Drake: Ok, fizz ....
As he laid his right arm around fizz's shoulder and pulled him in close to him so that fizz can hear and comprehend every word that was being said. This was between him and fizz while fizz is putting his thinking topi on. itik jantan, drake looked around to the right, then to the left, and squinted ahead with his left hand over his eyes but he saw no one of importance and he began to tell fizz about putting the money in the bank first before going down to the college because it takes time for the money to be processed. Fizz nodded
Fizz: Ok, I got that
Drake: anda sure anda got that?
As itik jantan, drake released his arm offa fizz's shoulder he pointed towards him askin him again because one moment anda think fizz understands you, but then when the situation occurs he be lookin so dumbfounded it's like nigga was anda payin attention atau was anda in la la land? itik jantan, drake snapped his fingers around fizz's face to get his attention. Fizz snapped back into reality.
Drake: Ok, well unfortunately, I have to go back to work, but anda just remember what I berkata alright about the money, and anda gotta put it in the bank first, processing, then wait to go and pay for yo classess ya hear?
Fizz nodded
Fizz: Yeaaa, dang why anda keep askin me If i understand whatchu be sayin and anda think anda gotta keep remindin me like i'ma child, geez i understand money.
Drake: Oh do you? Cuz last time I check anda have NO job, NOR do anda have a college education.
Fizz: Yoooo I'm tryin to get a job at ummm....
Drake: Where? Where are anda tryin to get a job at? Is it someplace that I know? Is it legit? Is it local?
Fizz: Mannn, yea it's legit. What kinda pertanyaan is that?
Drake: Hey, it's a question. I wanna know what kinda plans my cuzin hav in regaurds to looking for a job, anda know I can hook anda up at da barbershop.
Fizz: (shoots drakes offer down): If I wanted to work there, I would have already applied.
Drake: Well, I'm just tryin to help anda out.
Fizz: NO, you're just tryin to tell me what I need to do.
Drake: Nahhh, anda make your own decisions, but I want anda to tell me right now, what it is that anda want to do?
Fizz: (looks up at the sky): Umm, I wanna be a uhh, I wanna do...(looks down at his shoes)
Drake: okk sooo I see anda haven't put too much thought into this. anda do know that there are places and people that can help anda on your journey for employment right?
Fizz: Huh? Oh for real?
Drake: Yesssss, there are. Matta fact I can help anda out right now.
Drake: Take this card.
Fizz takes the card with a puzzlied look. He skims the front and reads the back. itik jantan, drake turns the card back to the front so that fizz can read the front side first.
Drake: I saw some of these cards displayed in one of my otha shops so as I was membaca them they reminded me of anda and how anda were seeking out a job so that anda can be a productive member in society and grow up already.
Fizz was kinda mad when itik jantan, drake berkata what he had to say juss now. He didn't really want to work. He just wants to just collect money, eat it up, spend it on a bunch of new shoes, clothes and especially on women atau at least try to impress them as to say hat he is rollin deep in money.
Fizz: Ok, thanks he berkata with a non-chalant tone
Drake: Well anywayz anda call that number and ask for reggie smith he can get anda where anda need to be, but anda will have to take that initiative and to act on it. So I did my part, twice actually but anyway I gotta holla atchu later, hit me up if anda have any pertanyaan atau need to talk, peace!
Fizz thought over what itik jantan, drake told him because most of it was true and he knew it. No need tellin him twice, but at the same time fizz knew he wuz just lazy and that he would slide back into his old habits again. The pertanyaan remain, would he decide to change and be a man or, remain a little boy and watch his family basically doin all the work in which he is the oldest and he should be helping out financially. Fizz stuck the card in his hoodie pocket and walked towards his car and drove off.
BACK AT THE HOUSE
After everybody berkata hey to Fizz (the college dropout), a fly atau two had flown in. I hated him for that. Cedric (my dad) was intrerupted oleh the flys buzzin around him that he was swattin like crazy and he was swattin like he had to pindah around like he was dancin a jig atau suttem. China was chucklin at him oleh coverin up her laugh with her mouth but finally asked him
China: Uncle Cedric, what are anda doin over there? The funky chicken?
Raven had to pindah to the living room cuz she didn't want to deal with the flies period sayin
Raven: Ooo chile, I ain't got time for this I just got my hair did and If I pindah my head around too much it's gonna all fall apart and hav me sweatin like a pig anda know what i'm sayin?
As she finished her "you know what i'm sayin phrase," she usually looks around the room to see if anybody was laughin but as usual nobody was cuz it was not that funny in the first place. I don't know where she gets that from but that thang she does be buggin me. So fizz finally closes the door but very slowly and two lebih flies fly up in da house and everybody throws up their arms up like...
Everyone: COME ON, FIZZ!
China: Daaaaaang man, anda don't know how to close a door quick-light. It's simple. It's just like (snaps fingers) that.
Fizz was like..
Fizz: Oh my bad
He knew damn well it was his bad. Oh my goodness I swear this boy is sooooo slow. Raven swats the flies that is surrounding her do in an elegant manner and she wrinkled up her nose and scratched it poised-like. Oh roc is knocked out on the couch
with his mouth wide open, lol. China points at roc and laughs out loud. Roc suddenly snores aloud. Dad is tryin to find the fly swatta which is usually kept in the dapur on the floor for quick access. So we can hitta fly WA-POW! Butchu hav to be strategic and quick-like to hit them and the timing is everything as well. I finally get up from my bed, but I had to stand up to spot a clean luar angkasa to walk in and to be able to get to the door of my room. As i finally got safely thru the rongsokan, sampah on my floor i opened my door and saw my cousins in the living room and dad twirling round like a lost dog tryin to find those ratchet flies. I opened the hall closet and handed my dad the fly swatta like a boss and berkata in a non-chalant matta
Ray: Here dad, take care of business
Cedric: Oh thank anda son, I appreciate anda handin me the fly swatta in dis time of crisis cuz anda know, I gotta handle business.
I pretend to play along and say
Ray: Don't worry dad your secret is aman, brankas with me and he's like
Cedric: What secret? and he slams the fly swatta on the counter.
China: Ewwww. anda hit the counta wit da fly swatta?
Cedric: What secret?
And he slams the fly swatta on the counter.
China: Ewwww. anda hit the counta wit da fly swatta.
I shrugged
Ray: So?
Raven: So?
Raven overheard us talkin.
Raven: That's just nastay
Ray: Oh word?
I folded my arms and stood against the dinding wit one leg kicked back and the other on the floor watchin my dad as I try to hold back my laughs, so i bit my lip to try and keep from laughin but i couldn't hold on much longer. He just steady swingin wit two flies circling him and his eyes are following their every flight movement. They are now above him, then they ayunan low, then to the left, and then to the right. When they swoop near the counter, dad hits the counter really loud and china jumps becuz of the sound it made caught her off guard. Too bad the tv isn't on to drown out the slaps. Just then a knock is on the door and I shouted
Ray: I GOT IT!
I opened the door
Lisa Raye: Heyyyy baby berkata auntie lisa.
I hugged her with a smile
Ray: Finally sum distractions
Auntie lisa had brought some bags from the car with her. She patted my head and asked how was I doing i told her I was fine.
Lisa: Everything alright?
Ray: Yea, it's cool I smiled.
But I just remembered that we were still standing in the door, and we let in two lebih flies in da house dad was like
Cedric: Awww mannn now we got a whole house of dem as he stumped. He was frustrated. I turned towards dad and had my hand up in the air facing towards him
Ray: Dad, chill u got this
Dad was like
Cedric: I got dis. (he is now pumped) Yeaa I got dis.
He slapped down on the counter cuz he was excited, cuzju kno I b givin my dad pep talks and motivational speeches that sumtimes he gets stressed about things and I remind him that it's gonna be okay. After that slap, dad jerked his hand back in pain and held it towards his chest to soothe it. I looked back at him as I was worried and wondered like
Ray: Dad, anda alrite ova there?
Dad played the pain off.
Cedric: Yea, son I'm ok. Thanx for askin. I got eeeeeeevrerythang under control as he had his arm out like he was on puncak, atas of the world.
Me and china helped aunt lisa with the bags so we can close the door. China asked auntie lisa
China: Where's dad?
Ciara: Oh he dropped me off and went on to work.
China: Oh, berkata china with a confusing face. So does that mean we are gonna be staying here as she tried and comprehend the situation so that it can be confirmed.
Lisa: Yessss china if that's ok with Ceddy
Cedric berkata in a playful tone
Cedric: Gurrrl, anda know anda and your kids are alwayz welcomed here at our home.
I must mention that Auntie lisa and beyonce are sisters oleh blood
