Romani Farrah.

Sitting at the dinner table with my Mom Sherry, brother Messiah and baby sister Dalila eating a hot meal Mom prepared for us.

Ever since Dad got locked up, it's been awkward.

"Uh, Mom. I got a 96 on my earth science post test." Messiah said breaking the silence.

My mom was feeding Baby 'Lila. "That's great son, go get ready for school, you guys."

Getting up, I grabbed the plates, emptied them out and slid them in the dishwasher.

"Thank you, hun." Mom said kissing my forehead.

I smiled and walked to my room.

Picking out my outfit, crème spaghetti strap, a black, crème and pink Aztec Cardigan with some black high-waisted skinny jeans with my pink sandals.

Fixing my curly hair, I grabbed my bag and started my day.

Making my way to my locker, my best friend Jasmine walked up to my locker.

"Hey. How ya holding up?" She asked referring to my father's situation.

I grabbed my Chemistry B textbook and closed my locker.

Looking at her, thinking about avoiding the conversation. But, there's no point. She won't let me go around it.

"I'm good." I said faking a smile and walking away.

She grabbed onto my shoulder, stopping me.

She gave me a look that is undescribable.

"Come on now Ro. And how ya mom and brother holding up? My mom said if you guys need a chill out spot, our house is open."
