Stoke POV:
I'm walking home from school minding my business then I get stopped by the bitch ass cops... I didn't even do shit! I can't afford to get into more trouble bruh I can't. "Stop right there young man," the cop says to me. "Yes, officer?" I say a bit nervous because I know if they search for me they will find something on me. Luckily it's a black cop so maybe it won't be so bad. "Nothing, I have reason to suspect you are coming from a place where you shouldn't have been for someone your age. You young cats always rushing to be grown. I just want to do a minor search and if I don't find anything I will have you on your way" the officer says looking at me as if he knows he'll find something. I have never been searched before but I complied hoping he wouldn't find the secret pocket in my bag. I'm only 17 and I don't really be in school so of course when I should be is when I get stopped. "Yea no problem officer" I hand him my bag and let him pat me down. "What's your name young blood." "Uhh, Stokeley sir.." "Stokeley huh? Your parents around.. dad? mom?" "Yes sir both of them are around," I say getting more nervous as he keeps dissecting my bag. It's only been five minutes but it feels like an hour and I just want to go home. "Well you check out Mr. Stokeley but I am still going to have to take you in because you are underage and skipping school." I look at the officer nervous and angry but I comply and get in the cop car and we head to the station. We get to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department and I walk inside with the officer. He sits me down and tells me to wait as he goes to get someone to contact my parents. As I waited, which felt like forever, a police dog walks by and begins to sniff and then bark at me. I was confused but then I remembered the dog can probably pick up the scent of my weed. The officer comes back and looks at me and he asks if I had some food in the bag earlier and I say no. The dog continues to bark and then it rips my bag open lets my weed fall right out. The officer looks at me, looks up my record, and lets my parents know that I am being put into juvenile detention. "Stokeley Goulbourne, you are now instated into this juvenile institute on May 10, 2013," the officer says. I just put my head down... FML😡
May POV:
".... and that is how we can save the world from global warming by cutting back on plastics. Thank you for listening" The class claps as I go back to my seat. My homegirl Ayana and I are talking in the back of the class just watching the minutes run by. "Girl I need a new music app because I am tired of paying for music." Ayana says to me. "Girl just get Musi or Soundcloud, it's free music as well as being able to find new artists," I say. The school was over and I began to walk home when my ex walks up to me "What do you want Eric?" "Now shawty don't do me like that, I know you miss me," he says trying to lean in for a kiss which I dodge and keep pushing forward. "May... May? MAY" he calls after me but I disappeared into the crowd in the school hallways and leave school. I get home and reminiscing about my birthday party, I just turned 16 in April... 2013 has been a good year for me so far. I live in palm beach and I am almost done with school! A few more months!! I make myself something to eat, change into my house clothes, and start with my homework. Today felt strange but I knew whatever changed was going to be good. I get to writing...
