As I woke up I heard the sound of the news on the tv coming from the living room

I rolled my eyes out of annoyance got up and went to turn it off

As I walked in the room I seen my mother laying there with a cigarette in her mouth and a half empty bottle of D'USSE in her hand with more bottles around her

I looked around for the remote turning it off

"Mora I love you" she mumbled as I was walking away I ignored her and continued to walk back into my room

I looked at the time seeing 5:26 I fixed my bed and went inside my bathroom putting a face mask on my face then hoping in the shower

I took a 20 mini shower before getting out and drying off

I slipped on some boxers and a matching bra set from ethika

After that I lotion up my body and brushed my teeth

When I was doing brushing my teeth I got a wash cloth and put some of my face cleanser on there washing off my face mask

When I was done I put everything in the dirty hamper and went to pick out my clothes

I picked out a grey body suit and some crocs cause I ain feel like getting all dressy today

I looked at the time seeing it was 6 I had just enough time to walk to the store and get some snacks real quick before walking to school

I grabbed my keys and put them in my purse and put my backpack on my bed

Before walking out of my room I put on a blue Jean jacket, my purse and my backpack

I walked out my room closing it and locking it behind me

I recently installed a new door knob with a lock because my mom would often go in my room looking for extra money for drugs, and alcohol

I walked past my momma on the couch and walked out the door

As I was walking out the door I seen the neighbor grandma walking out her door

"Hey mama Ray" I said walking to her

"Hey baby!" She said giving me a hug

"How school going" she asked getting her keys out her purse

"Good All A's" I said

"Now that's just wonderful, keep it up baby" she said

"Yes ma'am" I nodded

"Where you headed so early baby" she asked seeing all the stuff I had

"School I have a few stops to make on the way so I needed an earlier start today" I said

"We'll I'm headed that way you need a ride" she asked

"No ma'am, thank you tho" I said as we reached the bottom of the stair

"We'll look here imma give you this but be careful walking to that school house and I'm making some tacos  tonight your cousin said he would stop by and see me so come on over" she said handing me a $50

"I will" I said walking away

Mama Ray has always helped take care of and if I tried to say no to whatever she offered I'd get a cold shoulder for a while

I just learned to except her gifts and help especially since she know my situation

The only other people that know is my daddy, Tony from the gas station and my cousin Braxton
