It's the next day and Ray DID NOT call me and I'm pissed. Woke up in the worse mood possible even after everything that went on wit ma dad yesterday.

I sit in my bed staring at the wall. He said he would call me and he hasn't yet. I mean I understand but damn. I just got used to him always putting me first. Shit sucks.

I got to the bathroom getting ready with a frown on my face the entire time. Brushing ma teeth and lips before washing my face then taking a shower.

Yes I was ma face before taking a shower.

I get out and put on sum underwear and baby lotion. The only thing stopping me from calling Ray is ma own ego right now. I'm tryna stand on bidness but it's hard.

Especially after he told me niggas was after his head. I'm worried.

Sadly school ain't fucking over so that's what I'm getting ready for. But I honestly don't even wanna go. School be boring den a bitch.

I put on ma gold necklace with my name on it, sliding it across ma neck. I take a step back and look at ma outfit. I'm wearing my brown essentials hoodie with sum brown baggy jeans and brown Air Jordans 4's.

It's too hot for a puffer jacket.

Felt like I haven't dressed up in a min. I need some weed, fuck going ta school, I'm drained. Worked hard all year, I need a break. Maybe I'll ask Allison to hang out, I need someone to talk to.

And I needa learn howda drive. Lord help me. I sigh getting ma phone from off the bed and calling Allison. The phone rings one time before going through.

"Heyyy bae bearr! You gone be at school today? I'm getting ready now." I hear jiggly noises on her side.

"No actually, I ain't goin ta school. I'm tired of it, you tryna go out? Just me and you." I walk over to my desk, opening the drawer and grabbing my notebook. I throw it on the bed then grab a pencil before falling down on my bed.

"You asking the right personnn! Hell yeah, what we doing? Shit we seniors, we'on need ta be at school 24/7 anyway. And I know you be working hard so you deserve it." She says and I smile.

Glad she at least noticed.

"Ion know let's just go out, I still got money from Ray. Ion mind buying you shit. And we gettin weed too." I hear her getting lit on the other side causing me to laugh.

"Omg! Thank you baes I won't let you pay for everything tho." She giggles.

"It's fine, he gave me a lot and I don't even shop like that, but shit today we is." I sketched out my outfit I was wearing on a new page of paper.

Eileen sent me the fashion design class schedule and even though I missed a lot of days the teacher somehow still kept me in and she said I can start tomorrow. I'm grateful.

"Alright I'm ready now, you ready?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, imma take ma mom car then be over thereee." She says.

"Okay, call me when u get here. Luv youu." I continued to finish my drawing.

"Byee, luv you." She hung up. I stayed in my bed drawing while waiting for her to arrive.

......

"Bitchh! I'm heree!" Alli yelled into the phone making me pull it away. "Okay, okay, I hear you." I chuckled before hanging up.

I put my notebook back and grabbed my wallet and put it in my pocket then heading out the room. I open my mom's room door and see her watching tv laughing mad loud.
