Dark Ocean.

A New Beginning.

CYN

I shut my locker closed once I had my side book bag and all my heavy books were in my locker. I scanned through my report card, while waiting for Lucky to come by to pick up his jacket. Its been four days and I really didn't need it anymore.

"Cynthia, Right? " I look up to see Lucky tall self standing a few inches higher than me.

" Cyn. " I answered dryly. I handed him his jacket before walking away. Before I could walk far, Lucky grabbed my wrist pulling me in his arms.

" Whea' yo' fine self running too ? " He asked letting my wrist go taking my report card.

" Home. " I answered, I had to get ready for tonight. My first night at my first job. I was nervous as hell, I had to get half naked in front of a crowd of niggas. I would consider thirsty but the money is all that I'm worrying about.

" Straight A's. I love me a smart bitch. " He commented handing me back my report card. I was taken from his words. Yeah, I've been called a bitch before from people. But the way he said it made me want to smack him across the face.

" Yeah, I bet you do. All the hoes you fuck were stupid enough so now your dumbass is looking for someone smart enough to back your dumbass up. I got my head in the game and I'm always gonna be two steps or maybe three ahead of you. Pick your head up Lucky. " I spat before walking away. I didn't mess with a lot of people.

"Aye ! " I turned to my left to see Lucky driving a '80 Buick Riviera, a Cherry Red to be specific.

" Cyn, you got me. I didn't mean to say it like that. I just wanna spend time with..." Lucky yelled. I wasn't having it not, today not tomorrow.

" I don't have time to give you Lucky. I got important shit to get ready for and your certainly not worth my time. " I spoke walking away.

" Damn, you so damn stubborn. " He commented.

" Don't be surprise, Lucky. I have to stand my grounds. "

" Just get in the car and Ill drive you home. " Lucky offered, I stopped in my tracks and looked at him,. Even though my feet were hurting I could use a ride.

" Ill be fine. If I needed a ride I would of gotten on the bus or called a taxi. " I added with an attitude making my way towards the apartment complex.

" Man, fuck you Cyn. Stupid ass bitch. " Lucky spat before driving off, I gave him the middle finger. I hummed to myself a old song I grew up to by Sam Cooke, Bring it home to me. I finally got up the steps to my apartment to find the Landlord, Mr. Kurs on my level. I didn't want to talk to that perved ass nigga who thought he could get me.

" Aye, you leave in fifty five days. " He stated handing me the eviction notice.

" You don't think I know ? " I snapped crumbing the paper up and handing it back to him walking around him to my apartment. I rummaged in my purse for my keys while watching a pretty black girl moving in with a sexy ass man following behind her. She had on Cool Greys with grey sweat pants and a white crop top on showing off her belly rings . Her long black hair made her look really good.

" I'm Porsha. " She greeted, she flipped her hair and smiled at me.

" Cyn. " I answered.

" The fuck ? What kind of name is that ? " She asked loudly making a funny face which made me laugh.

" My mama choose it. She said it means, graceful and loving to her. " I explained.

" I see. Imma holla at cha' lata' girl, a bitch gotta finish unpackin' and I gotta work ta'night at taht Strip Club Taste. " She said, this girl was already ready to tell me her whole life stories.
