School is a scam. Somebody with lots of money wants me to go against my will for way too many hours out of my day and interact with people I don't know. Not to mention I'm forced to listen to foolishness. I made it though so I guess I'm proud. You know what's worse than going to school ? Going to a new school. The very luxury I have today.

Whoop-ty-fucking-doo to me. I was up pretty early because of the new school anxiety so rather than hide away from it like I wanted to, I just took care of my morning hygiene and got myself dressed.

My medium black and purple boxed braids fell to my mid-thigh. They matched my hair that I dyed black with a bottom purple half last month. Most people ask why I wear them because of my natural hair length but they save me time, plus my mom is a hairstylist so I've always been able to do my own or ask her. After being dressed and spraying my Victoria Secret vanilla scented perfume I went to the kitchen and saw my moms boyfriend of the last 7 years, Steve, with his hair all over his head.

"Well goodmorning......I think" I widened my eyes and walked past him.

"Long night Pumpkin." He runs his fingers through his hair and sits at the counter with a sigh.

"With what ? The toe tickler ? You look terrible"

"I know you hate school but don't take it out on me." He said with a pout. "Let's just say Keison won't win today"

"You actually practiced to beat me ?" Keison laughs as he walked in. "Told you Mani, I'm the best at Mortal Combat" He smiled and patted my shoulder.

"You'll be late if your not on that bus" I remind him.

"Aw shoot you're right." He kisses my cheek and scurries away to catch the bus. "Love you guys bye!"

"Have a good day!" We both yelled at him.

"Was that Kei running again ? He's always trying to bRUsh hIS bRAcEs and keep them ExtRA cLeAn. You braces people and your cleaning habits."

"I could help you need braces if you'd like?" I threaten my younger sister Essence, who came in and sat her backpack in the chair next to Steve.

"I didn't mean it like that I mean it's a loooong process of teeth cleaning"

"It's because he's four months in. He won't care as much by the sixth month. The constant brushing? We don't do that we just brush in the morning, carry floss brushes and brush them before bed." I explain to her.

"Dont you have another year or something on yours ?" Steve asked

" Eight months " I groan with an eye roll.

"It'll be fine. Are you two ready ?"

"Yep."

"Alright let's go. And don't forget mom is working also today so we'll be home tonight. Don't worry about unpacking these things your brother and I will finish"

"Fine by me" We both said, making Steve laugh.

He's not my real dad obviously. If you saw him you'd be even more convinced. He's about as pale as Snow Whites grandad so let's just say mom got somebody's dilf dad or whatever.

He's really cool though and he never pressured us to call him dad even though I'm sure he'd love it. He calls me Pumpkin because his first time meeting me was at a Halloween party. It's not a holiday but that doesn't mean my family gather like it's one I mean who doesn't love dark and creepy shit right ? Anyways, it was the adult hours of the party and in my family after 15 and up you can hang with the adults at these parties so we played a card game and I started yelling about 'a damn pumpkin'. Ma let me off since I was intoxicated. Sadly I still remember everything. I happen to be a very aware drunk but not aware enough to control my curse words.
