My name is Riasha Johnson. I come from a family of five, a brother and a sister, and mom and dad. I am the oldest which means when my parents were out partying, I took care of the kids.
I was 18 when I moved out to LA. I couldn't afford anything better than I have now, but I still manage to buy lottery tickets each week.
I miss my brother and sister, but I can't go back. I didn't even tell my parents I was leaving, I had to get out of there. And if I go back they won't let me leave again.
It's been four years and I've gotten to know the people around me a lot. I don't have a boyfriend or anything. When people are surprised, I tell them I am an independent woman who doesn't need anybody. I really do though. But, I've managed.
I've been attending California Community College. I major in Business. School is one of my favorite things and it is most important. But now since its summer break I can relax and enjoy the beauty of California.


Today I woke up and looked at the clock.
"Crap! It's 12:00 pm I'm late for school!" I then realized it was summer break. What a relief.
I got up and went to my bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair. Then, i went to the kitchen and got myself some Cheerios, I finally got dressed and put on some high wasted jeans and a white strappy crop top.
When I left the house I grabbed the keys to my Honda and put on my black all star converse. I walked down the steps to go outside to my car and saw someone trying to break in. This is the first time I've ever had a problem with anyone, I immediately called the police not saying anything. When the man saw and heard the car it scared him away and he didn't get anything.
"We're gonna search for him, it appears that he didn't take anything." The officer said.
"Ok thank you." I said. I walked over to my car and saw a note.
I didn't look at it. I didn't want any trouble so I through it away.
After leaving the apartment, I went over to my friend Ayanna's house. She has a beautiful son named Mica and is 7 months pregnant with her daughter Lilac. She lives with her boyfriend Dre in a decent sized two story.
It takes an hour to get there and an hour back, but it's worth seeing my nefu and best friend with her big tummy. And Dre's okay, I don't really favor him much.
I knocked on the door. "The pizza's here!" I heard Dre yell. When he opened he looked disappointed. "Oh" he said, he opened the door and let me in. I sat with Mica.
"Hi, how are you?" I asked.
"Good." Mica said. He is shy.
Ayanna walked in.
"What's up?" I asked while giving her a hug.
"Good, hey Mica go outside me and Aunt Riasha are talking" Ayanna said.
We talked for about an hour until my phone rang.
"Hi" a person said.
"Who is this?"
"It's mommy." She said.
I hung up and blocked the number.
"I have to go, the lottery plays tonight." I said.
"Your stupid for thinking your gonna win." Ayanna said.
"Suit yourself." I said.
I gave a hug and a goodbye to Mica and left. I drove my car to the nearest gas station and bought one of the powerballs.
"Wow 500 million. Wouldn't it be nice." I said to the cashier.
"Yeah." He said back.
