"Pumpkin, c'mon. Wake up." As I slept through my seventh alarm, my grandmother talked, startling me awake.

I looked at the time and saw that it was 6:30 A.M., which meant I needed to be at school in exactly a hour.

After what felt like hours of staying in my bed and staring at nothing at all, I got up to shower and start my hygiene routine.

"Pumpkin, you needa put some pep in dat step, so you don't get no more not late tardies, honey." From the foot of the steps, my grandmother yelled.

"Okay, Grandma. I'm almost done." I lied, while just beginning to put on my outfit for school.

I put on an all-white jacket with matching sweatpants, yellow crocs, and a yellow crossbody bag to keep it comfortable. My hair was already done into a braided ponytail, so I just removed my bonnet and tied a white scrunchie around it.

I was completely finished with everything at 7:15 A.M., which gave me a short enough time to make it to school.

"Grandma, I'm finna leave. I love you." I shouted, when I started approaching the front door.

"I love you too. Have a wonderful day."

"I swear on everything I love, I'm so close to dropping out this mothafucka." Destiny sighed as she reached the top the stairwell.

"It's only two months left. Y'all, we can do it." I gave her some words of encouragement.

"Yuhh, it look like we got s sub for Mr.Barker classs." Nova squinted her eyes down the hall, getting hype when she saw a lady instead of her normal male teacher.

"I'm so happy, because he literally calls my grandma for no reason... Like I'm damn near grown, boy bye. What are you calling this lady for?" I smacked my lips.

Someone bumped into me so hard, while we walked towards our classroom, causing me to drop my phone and everything else I had in my hand.

"Oh, so you can't see?" I held my phone gaped, before asking the boy who seemed to purposely bump into me.

"I seen where I was heading. You just need ta' watch the fuck out." He walked past her.

"Bitch, no, the fuck. You was in that phone not paying attention. Therefore, YOU need to watch the fuck out." Destiny raised her voice and came by my side.

"Nova, dem' yo friends annit?" The boy asked, pointing his finger in between us.

how the fuck everybody just seem to know Nova ass..?

"Yea, what difference that's making though?"

"ONE MINUTE STUDENTS! GET TO CLASS ON TIME, OR YOU WILL RECEIVE ISS!" An person on the intercom announced.

"Well, control these bitches." He stated before he walked off; also bumping into me.

"Bitches?" With furrowed eyebrows on my face, I turned to face him with surprise, but he was already walking away with his back to me.
