"hey mae. i heard yo bond was finna get paid off?"

"mhm." i nodded.

"yea, and tell me why mr.stacy finna move both the girls and the boys in the same prison because he said it's goin save him more money. boy if you knew you was broke why would you make a prison? come on now."

"he slow." i nodded looking down at my painting.

"you need to talk louder. and more"

"nah" i shook my head and dipped the tip of my paintbrush in black paint.

"well i'm finna go get our trays"

"preciate it mora" i looked up at her.

"MAE! PHONE CALL." the loud ass prison guard yelled my last name.

i hate it here.

they put me in here for killing my step father. Wonder why?

well , he used to abuse my mama on the low because he didn't want me to find out. i guess one day he got mad or sum and shot her while i was walking in the house. thinking i was still out. i pulled out the knife i carried on me and stabbed him 73 times.

yes i carried a knife.

"yo." i said on the phone.

"hey liyah! i almost have enough to pay your bond. i can't wait to see you! it took 3 years to save this money up." i heard my best friend lee say with excitement.

"lee i told you don't worry about me. i love you but you got bills to pay. i only got two more years"

"i know but my life been boring without you. your the only friend i have"

"aw." i smirked.

"2 minutes remaining." the phone said.

"this stupid ass phone. but i love you lee and stay safe. and if anybody fuckin wit you tell me."

"i love you too! stay safe and out of trouble so maybe they can decrease your sentence and you can get out on good behavior"

"imma try. bye" i said and hung up the phone.

I walked back to the table i was sitting at and started finishing my painting.Most people see me and say i look intimidating, but in reality it's just the fact that i have a rbf.

"here you go baby" mora sat my tray infront of me.

prison food lowkey go hard sometimes.

sometimes.

"but yea like i was sayin , rumor has it that the boys are moving in here tomorrow"

"why couldn't we just move there?"

"their prison was pretty small"

"oh."

"mhm. todays desert is red velvet cake."

"yess finally. i love red velvet" i smirked.

8:00pm

"alright ladies get to your cell." mr.stacy announced.

I never had a problem with my cell. mostly because mora was my roommate.

The beds weren't the worst and the blankets kept me pretty warm at night. and i had two pillows to myself.

I got my art supplies and my red velvet cake that i was gonna eat before i go to bed.

We had a little tv in each dorm. Right now spongebob was on and at around 10 either family guy , the cleveland show , american dad , or king of the hill came on.

I wish prison had weed.

I got on the top bunk and  laid down with my cake sitting on the stand beside me.

I watched spongebob until i felt tired and i ended up falling asleep without eating my cake.



























this is pretty short but i promise imma make my chapters longer !🧍🏾‍♀️

can we appreciate monyaecertified for giving me this book idea!❤️
