Ma'leuh Grant
February 5th.
We lived in a beat up 2 bedroom apartment in the projects. I share my room with my two little brothers , Jay (10) & Siah (7). I took care of me and my siblings since our mom went to jail. We've been living with our grandma since until my mom can get out n get her shit to together she claims. But this always happens she goes to jail and go back but that's a story for another" day.
I'm a Jr in school but i barely go it's no money there. I do what I can to make sure me and my siblings good i'm only 17 so there's only SM i can do. We're still struggling real bad but i'll never let my siblings know or look like we are.
"I know You hear me talking to you" MY grandma yelled as she busted into my room with a mug on her face. We anit got the best relationship as you can tell.
"Yeen give me a chance to respond back" I shrugged as i put my money in a shoe box. 𝟒,𝟎𝟔𝟐 is what i counted.
"Ima go tomorrow damn get out bruh " I said getting up pushing her out the door and shutting my door.
I don't have a 9-5 .I bag weed and count money for my uncle like his assistant and that's basically my money. Oh and i also sale the clothes my mom left behind. She was a booster so i've been taking her sales.
It's not telling when my mom gets out again so i've been saving to get me and my brothers the fuck out of here.
My phone buzzed twice notifying that some one had texted my phone.
Looking down seeing my friend Elesia texted asking why i wasn't in school. I rolled my eyes at the text turning my phone off tossing it on the bed and and picking up my box of money.
Stashing my box in my secret spot in the hole in the wall behind my bed.
Looking at the time seeing it was almost time for me to get my brother off the bus Siah i threw on my grey Nike hoodie and my yellow crocs and kept my black leggings on.
Walking out of my room down the stairs passing my money hungry ass grandma on the phone gossiping with lord knows who. Ignoring her presence I walked out the door shutting it behind me turning my music on and making my way to the bus stop.
I needed to get me a car this is hella ghetto. I already live in the ghetto it's hella embarrassing to not have a car in the ghetto also like.. I also hated walking cause the hood dudes always stared at me.
I stood about a good 5'4 with caramel broke skin. Dyed split brown medium curly hair and a slim petite build with a plump butt but not to much but not to little.
"Hey Yo" I heard some one call out to me but i kept walking causing me to turn my music up.
"I need to get more airpods" I mumbled to myself as I came to my brothers bus stop.
It's hella cold out here.
"Hey SI" I smiled as my brother Siah came off the bus seeing him hold a frown on his face.
"What's wrong with you" I asked him because he's usually so happy and and full of energy and light. He's lowkey my fav brother ngl. I love him so bad.
"They talked about about my shoes again Pumme" He said calling me by my nickname and walking with his eyes glued to his shoes.
"Who the same kids? I told you just beat they ass i won't get mad at you" I told him trying not to get mad. His shoes was dirty but that's only because he plays in his shoes when i tell him not to. I can't afford much right now cause i'm trying to get us away from where we are right now.
"I'll get you new shoes Si but you have to take care of them you know i can't do much right now" I told him honestly. I haven't had any rides to do what i needed to do. I don't really have the spending money right now.
