"Get up before I smack the shit out of yo fat ass" I heard someone say as I felt my covers being pulled back from over me. It was cold as hell and my big ass pink comforter kept me warm. "Whoever you are, your moms a hoe"

I mumbled putting my head back underneath the covers and pulled the pillow over my head. It is too early for this, it's probably not even 9 in the morning and I'm being forced to wake up.

It was quiet for a minute... It was too quiet. "Shut up hoe" I heard, then the covers was pulled back and I felt a hard smack on my ass then was pushed off the bed. "OW BITCH THAT SHIT HURTT!!" I yelled rolling on the floor. So called a good morning..

"Thats what your ass get for being mean as hell."  She laughed, laying down on the other side of my bed. "Why you rolling on the ground like a small ass kid?"

Robyn peered over me before falling in a fit of laughter and I just mugged the hell out of her big five-headed ass.

I was on the floor anyways so I grabbed the gun that was hidden underneath my mattress, "Don't underestimate me bitch" I grumbled as I got up pointing it towards Robyn and was met with a gun towards me in return. "Same goes for you hoe" she gritted aloud making the both of us burst out laughing. She ran her fingers through her hair as she was trying to calm herself down from laughter.

Today our first day of class and I oddly was excited. You may be thinking why me, a well known leader of one of the most dangerous gangs going to college. Right?

I've always wanted to be a lawyer. Things change. Life happened. Now I'm here successful, fine as hell, and is graduating this year. Funny how a well-known but unknown who is literally wanted by just about everyone, probably including the law wants to know who I am. And I'm right here in their faces and they don't even know it.

First, no one actually knows who I am except for the people I trust. I guess I don't fit in the description of being a gang member. Let alone being a female in charge of men who constantly test me.

But the mottos my men follow is "underestimating gets you killed" and "be the hunter not the hunted" there is meaning behind both of those I'm not ready to get into right now.

I took a shower and did my hygiene, then put on a black crop top with black skinny jeans and black heels. I wore my black curls and put on red lipstick. "Girl hurry yo ass up we almost late as it is and it's the first day." Robyn said with a mouthful of my gummies in her mouth.

"I know you not eating my damn fruit snacks." I said grabbing the box from her hands as we walked down to my car.

We live literally right next to each other. We have a joint house and share a back yard with a big ass pool.

Believe it or not I did not know we had a class about criminal defense. All I knew was the best defense attorney, Beyoncé Knowles was the professor for this class in Houston. But I didn't know she was going to be the professor.

We finally arrived to class and this class was literally full. This must be a popular class, the seats were just about all full so Robyn and I grabbed a seat in the back.

As soon as we took a seat a woman with caramel skin and a dress that hugged her in all the right places with a case in her hand, walked in. She then placed it on her desk and walked to the board. "Hello, I am Ms. Knowles. Professor Knowles to you all."  She said as she finished writing her name on the board.

She could stay turned around if it means I could stare at her ass.

"Dr. Knowles works too" She smiled as she scanned the classroom with her eyes, but stopped landing when she landed on me.
