"quin..wake up boy you finna be late.." .. ... "QUIN!" my mom yelled for the final time as i slowly arose my head from my pillow. "i'm up.." i said as i yawned into my arm and stretched before slowly peaking at the window beside my bed, then to my phone which the alarm just now rung. 6:30 .. on the nose . meaning time to get up and deal with the lies , anxiety , and bullshit called high school. saint lawrence high school to be exact. i got up and slipped my feet into my slides , getting up and drowsily walking to my bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror as i observe the sleep in my aura and face.
"do i really have to go ma..my grades are fine, i can miss a day." i say as i wash my face off and pat it with a towel to get the excess water off. i then get my toothbrush and toothpaste and start brushing my teeth as she bickers me about going to school. "one day turns into another then you've had missed the whole week..yes you gotta go , bud." she says as she pokes her head in my door. i sighed as i then spat out the toothpaste and took my bonnet off and laid it on the sink.
i then walked back into my room and yanked my outfit from the side of the bed as i turned on my tv and played some music from spotify while taking off my night clothes and putting on my clothes.

as i slipped on my air forces , i looked in the mirror and turned to the side. examining myself. analyzing making sure i didn't look like the other fuck faces at that stupid school. had to make myself look at least somewhat presentable since i was class president. meaning i was seen as a fuck up. a teachers pet. a suck up. that wasn't me though. i just happened to get good grades even if i didn't always pay attention. i walked downstairs into the kitchen. along with my mom who was standing over her coffee maker, watching her coffee boil in the pot. "ah..see you dressed for the cold today huh?" she said as she smiled and patted my shoulder. "nice color on you quin - quin." she said as she poked my shoulder and grabbed her now ready coffee.
"thanks mami..imma head out , late shift tonight?" i asked as i grabbed my backpack from the side of the couch and opening the door. "yeah sunshine..but i'll pick you up something from that ice cream shop you like .." she said as she smiled as i shut the door behind me. waiting for the bus to swing by my house. i put my airpods in my ears and slipped my phone out of my pocket. turning on the only thing that could keep my sain. music.

as the bus pulled up , i slowly approached the door as i waited for the slow thing to open up. as it did and i walked up the steep steps , the whole bus just suddenly came to a stop. they all looked at me and watched me pace to the back of the bus with my head high. the only one to break the silence was nam-ra. damion to be exact. the tall, asian pretty boy who everyone wanted to be and date. damn, sometimes i wanna be in those shoes. those popular..great shoes.
" oi quinin ! sit with me , twin !" he said as he stood up and smiled at me. i returned the smile and sat my bag next to his in the isle as the bus broke back into the rampaging , ghetto chatter it was in. as me and nam-ra laughed and goofed off , we were here. hell itself. school.

as i walked into school, nam-ra gave me a peace sign and walked to his locker, which of course was on the other side of the school. as i got to my locker i pushed the lovey dovey couple that were kissing on my door to the side and side eyed them as they wanted to rebuttle, but realized who i was. they just walked away and kissed on someone else's locker. thank god. i opened it and grabbed my books out my locker.

i slung my backpack in it and grabbed my binder and then i felt it. a soccer ball crashed into my head and i immediately dropped my stuff and looked down. the hallway stopped again like it did on the bus as i slowly gathered my things and slowly lifted myself off the ground. but the only thing stopping me was someone's shoes. right in my eyes. i looked up with a squint and saw him.
