I woke up to my alarm clocking blaring. Blinded by the sun peeking through my curtains I shut the clock off seeing it was 6 in the morning. I sighed getting out of my bed letting the cold air hit me. "So glad when I'm done with this shit." I said to myself going into my bathroom. It was my last year in high school and I only had one week left. I went to the tub turning on the water beginning to strip for my shower. I stepped in letting the warm water hit my body. After about 15 minutes I stepped out drying myself off. "What to wear." I said looking through my closet. I settled for a pair of ripped jeans pairing it with a graphic tee and my Jordan 1s. I lotioned up my body putting on my under clothes before putting on my outfit. After finishing up my routine I admired myself in the mirror applying my lip gloss. I grabbed my backpack walking downstairs to the kitchen where I was hit with the smell of weed. "Goodmorning knucklehead." My brother Keem said rubbing my head. I swear he thinks I'm a fucking boy with all that rough shit. "Keem cut that shit out." I said smacking his hand away fixing my hair. "You know ma don't allow smoking in the house." I said opening the refrigerator. "Ma ain't here." He replied letting smoke escape his mouth. I heard the front door open and soon appeared Von, my brothers right hand man. He was so damn fine, yes I have a crush on him. My brother would kill me and him if he found out. "Wassup." Von greeted my brother as they did they handshake. "Wassup little Liyah." He said pulling me into a side hug. "Hey." I said shyly causing my brother to mug me. "Ummm I gotta go before I'm late gotta pick Kels up." I said grabbing my keys off the counter. "Aye tell Kelsey whenever she ready to quit playing daddy waiting on her." My brother said making me gag. I walked out the door headed to my car in disgust. I pulled out the driveway headed to pick up my bestfriend Kelsey or Kels as a lot of people call her. Me and her been bestfriends since middle school we clicked instantly and she been my bitch since. We're total opposites, she's wild and free I'm more so calm and shy. I pulled in front of her house honking the horn making her come out the front door. She hopped in the car kissing my cheek. "Morning bestfriend." She said putting her seatbelt on. "Goodmorning." I smiled as I started the drive to school. "Ugh I'm so happy we're almost done with this school shit." She said applying her lip gloss. "Me and you both." I replied pulling into the school parking lot looking for a space. "Soooo it's Friday the block party is today." She said making my look at her blankly. "Okay." I said backing into a spot. "Come with me pleaseeee." She begged as we got out the car. "Kelsey you know I hate parties." I replied. "Come on Liyah it's our last year of high school it's time to finally start going out and living." She said as we walked in the school. I thought about it for a minute and I must say she is right. "Fine I'll go." I replied hoping I wouldn't regret it. "Yay ! It'll be fun plus all the hood niggas will be there..like Von." She said wiggling her eyebrows. She was the only one that knew about my crush on Von. "Kels stop." I said blushing hearing his name making her laugh at me.
