I see my mom pulling up. Oh my god I'm scared of what she's gonna say.. I hope she don't beat my ass.

She see's me sitting on a bench near the parking lot and rolls down the window, and boy she does not look too happy. "WHAT THE FUCK LE'LANI HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET SUSPENDED ON YOUR FIRST DAY OF FUCKING HIGHSCHOOL?!?" She says.

I see Ke'Mani sitting in the passenger seat. I'm suprised he's not laughing at me. "Momma I can explain-" I mutter. "Whatever. Just explain in this goddamn car."

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping she doesn't slap me or anything. I open the back door and sit my bookbag down, eventually sitting down aswell. When I close the door mom glares at me from the rear view mirror. "Start talking."

"Mom, I was just running away from a new friend I made and I ran into this rude girl. I apologized and everything but she wouldn't leave me alone. I even tried to walk off but she kept pushing me and stuff. Then she slapped me so I punched her tried to walk away. She punched my back as I was walking so I just whooped her," I explain. Mom isn't looking as angry anymore as she was when I first saw her pulling up. "Yeah. Then the teachers came and pulled me back, but she punched me in the face while I was getting held back."

I'm so glad she's not giving me the death stare anymore. I felt like I was gonna die right on the spot. "Well, I'm not even mad at you anymore, you lucky," She says. "Actually I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself. I will definitely talk to the principal about this though-"

"Please don't. I don't even care it's just a week." I beg.

"Why?" Mom says.

I honestly don't know. Maybe it's because I dont wanna go back to school... or maybe it's because I don't want to get embarrassed having my mom walk up in school complaining. I mean it is my first day of high school. That is kind of embarrassing if my mom is already walking in complaining. "Just don't... please." I beg even more.

She sighs. "Whatever Lani. Fine.. but if something like that happens again I won't hesitate to come up to that goddamn school and beat some lil girl ass." I chuckle.

We arrive at the house and mom puts the car in the garage. We lived in this neighborhood for about 3 years now. This house is a single family home and it's kind of medium sized. Big enough for a party. Mom works as a professional hairstylist, she gets a good amount of pay too. Hah.. atleast I get my hair done nicely for free.

It's now 5:23 p.m. I don't even know what I would do for a week. Just started school and I don't even attend for a week. Whatever, I'm just gonna go on Instagram. I scroll past one of Christians post. Looks like he's with a couple of our friends from middle school. Gosh I gotta text him.

Received 5:32 p.m.

What the hell. Someone posted my fight on Instagram... this is gonna ruin my image so much. He screen recorded the fight off this one nigga page and damn it has 100k likes already..

Of course Christians gonna tell me I'm trending. He was one of my first friends in elementary school, but sometimes I think he's just my friend because of my brother. That nigga had a huge crush on him once we got in middle school. Christian was pissed when Ke'Mani told us he got a girlfriend. Well Christian never has a chance anyway.. Manis not gay.
