As I inhaled the smoke, I thought about everything that has happened to me in these past couple of months. I shouldn't be smoking especially in my room. Or should I even consider this my room? Being taken away from your family, moving towns, and having foster parents was not in my intention. Although I do not regret anything that has happened to lead me here.
As I hear someone coming up the stairs, I quickly go to the bathroom to flush down the rest of the blunt. I grabbed some perfume and I frantically sprayed perfume everywhere. I quickly laid down on my bed pretending I was asleep. Someone was knocking on the door, so I ran to go
answer the door. "Are you hungry, the pizza is ready." My foster mom asked me, while looking around my room to see if there was anything suspicious going on. "No thanks."
I told her as I slammed the door on her face. I know I was being rude. But I didn't really care. I just had wasted my last blunt. "Now what the fuck am I going to do?" I have no idea who sells in this town. Well at least I could find out tomorrow. Tomorrow was my first day at school, Water Hills High school. My foster parents had showed me around earlier today. Deep down inside I was grateful. I started hanging up my clothes from my suit case. Just when I was about to hang my last shirt up, I got a text from Rachel. Rachel has also been put in foster care, a couple months ago we both got caught smoking weed in the alley. We had probation for about six months. Now these are some of the reasons on why we got put in foster care. Just two days ago a group of friends of mine including Rachel and I got kicked out of McDonald's. Now I know what your thinking. How can you be in foster care just by getting kicked out of Mcd's? I know it's nothing major but like I said Rachel and I had been messing with the law many times. We both had missed court one day, and the judged didn't take that too well. Also our parents wanted us to have some discipline. The judge had wanted Rachel and I far, far away from each other. But luck was on our side I guess. Rachel ended up only being thirty minutes away from me. I glanced at the text she sent me, she wanted to meet up.
"Come to my house in 30 minutes, it's kind of close by a school."
As I sent the message I decided to take a quick shower. Right after I was done I decided to wear some skinny jeans with a hoodie, and my converse. I didn't really feel like dressing up. She texted me that she was here already. My foster parents were already in bed. It wasn't even late but oh well. I quietly went down the stairs. I was about to open the door when I remembered that their was still pizza left. I grabbed four pieces of pizza and wrapped it around some towels. I heard someone coming down the stairs so, I ran to the door. It was windy outside. I was thankful I decided to wear a hoodie after all. I was surprised when I saw Rachel parked in the drive way. "Since when did you get a car!" I yelled as I got in. "Ever since I moved in with my awesome foster parents, they decided to buy me a car, since they can't take me to school."
"Omg you're so lucky ." I told her while taking a big bite out of my pizza.
Even though it hasn't even been twenty four hours since I've last seen Rachel, I've still missed her a lot. Rachel and I decided to go cruising for a bit. While jamming out to drakes mixtape. Rachel was telling me how she would be attending the same high school as I, and boy was I grateful. "I can't believe after all the shit we've done were still, best friends" I told her with a huge smile on my face. "So my foster mom has this hot son, I think I'm in love with him already." I think I just saw her drool. "Is that saliva I see?" I started laughing because she actually checked in the mirror to see if she had some. "Shut up Yasmin, your just jealous because your foster parents don't have any children." As much as I tried to deny it she was right. "You should take me back home it's already midnight, and we still have school tomorrow." I said while looking at the trees as we where passing by. As she was driving me back, I started thinking about all our friends we had left behind. I seriously needed to call them asap. "I'll pick you up at 7:40, love you." Rachel told me while saying our goodbyes. I decided to climb the tree that was next to my window. I don't think my foster parents would be too happy if they seen me coming home this late. As I opened my window to my room I noticed that my lights where on. Shit. I didn't remember leaving my lights on before leaving. Hopefully they didn't notice me gone. I got my outfit ready for school tomorrow and I went into a blissful sleep.
