Beauty's POV:
As we three, Justice, May, and I walked through the halls I was thinking. Only three of us. I gotta win this game that's for sure, they'll hate me if they find out my secrets. Especially if they find out I killed my father, they'll soo hate me! No ifs cause they won't!
“ So um, y'all did Ms.Rachel's homework?" May asked trying to make it less awkward.
“ Yeah." We all mumbled. I don't know what's happening to us, I mean even small talk can't make us smile like we use to.
“ Cool." She said forcing a smile. We went our separate ways. I was at my locker looking down at my phone. A few days back, mama was arrested for the assumption of the murder of my father. I feel horrible, I should be in that jail cell not her.
Her case was over in seconds, the judge found her ‘guilty' and sentenced her 14 years in jail.
I'm just waiting for that call from the jail, I really wanna hear her soft thick New Orleans accent again. I want her to make her famous meals and to see her bright beautiful smile.
“ Sorry mama." I whispered.
“ Aye you Ight ma?" Elijah said walking up to me and wiping my tears. I didn't even notice I was crying. I nodded and gave him a weak smile.
“ Come with me, let's skip school. " I hesitated at first but soon gave in. We sat in his car for a minute.
“ Toughen up." He said looking at me.
“What?"
“ Yes gotta toughen up,crying won't get your mama outta there. Own up to your sin Beauty if it want her free."
“ Wait what?How-"
“ Don't worry about that Beauty." I sighed. “ So your saying I have to confess to set her free?" I asked astonished.
“ Yes, you don't have to. " I'm confused. Maybe I should?I'll miss graduation, prom, and college, but this my mama. I'll do anything for my mama. But to do this I need some money.
“ Elijah, is there anything to get fast money?" I asked. He looked nervous to tell me.
“ I mean, you could...idk your too innocent for this." “What is it?"
“ You could be in my crew, you know like sell drugs?" “ What, hell no!" I yelled my voice getting higher.
“ Beauty I promise I'll teach you everything, and as long as your with me you'll be safe." I looked at him and noticed he looked caring.
I sighed and nodded. “ Fine, but this is only for my mother, strictly business. " He chuckled and grabbed my hand. “ Oh trust me, I will be strictly business, now buckle up."
“ Where we going?" I asked curiously. “ You'll see."
