Raven POV
"Raven your late" the teacher stated.
"I know I know ,it ain't that hard to tell, always in my business." I shouted out for the whole class to here.
I sat down in my seat and noticed there is a new student in my class. A new student! Wow!!!! Everybody knows how I hate new people in my class but he doesn't seem that bad.
I seen haides and tried to tap her being that our seats are almost close to each other.
"Haides......haides" I said in a whisper tone
"Yeah raven wassup and why was you late?" She asked in a more reasonable tone.
"Woke up late, and .... that new boy kinda cute I mean he not all dat buh ehh."
"Hold on wait real quick the teacher talking and everybody body know I hate when she shouts my name out."
"Today class we will start a project and I will be picking the partners for this one because some of y'all don't know how to act."
The whole class sighed
"Why you always got to do tha-" jaquill was cut off by the teachers fast response
"I did not ask for an audience Mr. Bridgford now did I ?" Mrs.Truman said "Now to pick your partners,"
"Wait Mrs.Truman let us pick our partners just this last time?" Jamie announced
"Sure why not" she replied
Everybody got up out their seats to find there partner, I went straight to haides to make sure nobody trying to take my bestfriend. As I looked around I seen the new boy pick his partner, he picked marques. Well marques picked him. I guess to get to know him. But I found out some crazy news that I had to tell haides.
"Haides guess what I found out!" I shouted to her.
"What?" She said
"Well.... Kevin your cousin... he ..he got shot last night at Millburn state park, they say Joey and his gang was down there."
" not my cousin no no no I need to find out who did this like asap, ima visit Kevin after school you rollin wit me ?"
"Yeah you already know cause Kevin is like my other brother, and I was trying to visit him yesterday but they wouldn't let me in they said it was to bad to have people in the emergency room." I told her as I look down frowning. Then Mrs.Truman started to talk.
"Class the project is to do a history project on a famous African American person."
