H.E.R

The patch tightens.

Monday morning. Eww school.
I'm looking through the heap of clothes Yas,Kob and I bought. And regret kicks in,I can't wear these out. They give slut vibes. I walk into my closet and find my dad's brown hoodie,I pair it with beige joggers and my white Air Force, it's a good thing it's cold today,I have an excuse. I straighten my hair and apply a little mascara and lipgloss,I am not a fan of makeup because I do not like to be noticed. I check  myself out in the mirror,I actually look really good.

"Kierra get down here" mom yells
"Coming momma"
I pick up my bag and get downstairs.
"Oh momma you look really pretty"
Mom is wearing a flower print gown and some brown heels as her hair falls on her shoulders.
"Thank you baby,now get into the car or you will be late"
I get into the passengers seat,before I get in I see a truck park opposite my home,in front of the vacant house. New neighbors,oh great! That's sarcasm.
Mom's car smells like fish and ice cream,weird.

I get to school late and see my best friends waiting in the hallway for me.
"Why are you late?" Yas asks
"Didn't even feel like coming" I reply
"Come on we have maths" Kob say
"Wtf right now?" I ask
"Language young lady" Kob says
"Oh let her be,I have the exact same reaction"
"Hold up you guys" Yas says
oh no
"Kierra why aren't you wearing what we got?"Yas asks.
"Uhm it's cold today and they're so tiny and exposing,I can't wear that out" I reply.
"Right,the moment the cold passes you wear them do you understand?" Kob says..
"Well understood" I reply.
Ugh they can be so frustrating!

We walk into maths class and get a pissed off look from our teacher. Mr Donald. There are three empty seats back. I take a look at the board and we're learning algebraic equations. That's easy. I look at the board understanding the lesson but I suddenly drift away,I see my dad coming home from work and kissing my forehead,giving my mom a kiss and holding my hands.
"How was work dad?"
"Stressful my princess,but it's all worth it,I don't want you to suffer,I want the best of life for you"
"Honey please don't stress yourself,I'd be broken if you fall ill"
"Yes daddy,momma's right. I don't want anything to happen to you"
"My beautiful ladies,I'm strong and nothing bad can happen to me,I'm always here for you"

I feel a drop of tear on my cheek,then I hear my name being shouted loudly. I leave my trance and see Mr Donald in front of my desk and the whole class staring at me.
"Young lady,can you go up to the board and solve the problem there"
I get up and walk up to the board,and quickly solve the question. Like I said the lesson is easy. Mr Donald looks at me with hate.
"This would be a warning to you,listen attentively in my class or else you get detention"
I walk back to my seat,and wonder why I'm in school again.

Break period.we're all in the cafeteria eating.
"Kie are you okay? You spaced off in class" Kob asks
"Yeah is there a boy in your life that's making you loose your mind? Yas says
" I was thinking about my dad"
"Oh" they both say
Kob takes me into his arms and gives me a bear hug and I sob. Not minding all my school mates staring at me. I cry and try to let it all out.

After our little emotional session,I sit down with my best friends in the hallway and a shadow covers me,I look up only to find the school popular girl,Lisa,standing and staring at me.
"Your fit is cute,where'd you get it" Lisa asks while smacking gum between her teeth loudly.
"My closet..." I reply. I don't have the energy to interact with anyone today.
"Cute,here's an invitation,due to the fact that you look snatched today,I'm inviting you to my party this weekend and your friends...Kobi you're specially invited" Lisa says while handing three pink envelopes to all of us.
"I'm sorry,can't make it,I have to babysit my younger sister." I lie.
My friends get the hint quickly.
"I have soccer practice all weekend" Kob follows.
"Gotta help my mom in the office" Yas follows.
Way to go team!
"I know y'all are lying,I really want to see you guys pretty pretty please" Lisa says while kneeling in front of us and begging. I swear the whole school is looking at us and I hate the attention.
"Fine fine fine,we'd come, can you please leave now,you're causing a scene" I reply
"Good,don't wear sweatpants to my party" she says as she struts away.
"What was that" Yas asks
" I had to discard her" I reply
"Well we've got a party to plan for" Kob says
Well screw me.

Mom drives into the driveway as I look opposite our house, I see the truck still there,I wonder what's happening now.

I run up to my room and lock the door,turn off my light and play the saddest beats I could find on YouTube,as I imagine me day cuddling me.
