Jasmine

"Get back here!" The officer Jenkins yelled,running after me.

I'm laughing so hard,watching him run after me with a donut in his hands.

It felt like subway surfers, officer Jenkins was indeed over weight.

Looking back,over my shoulder seeing him catch up to me.

I put my skate board on the ground,skating away from him.

"I'll get YOU NEXT TIME!" He yelled, making me smile," IF YOU CAN BYE OFFICER!" I shouted.

Hi, my name is Jasmine Ayanna Jefferson. I'm 16,im not a normal teenager, i don't have the suburbs money or suburb life.

I don't live that life at all. I don't come home everyday after school doing my homework,having dinner with my parents. None of that.

I was placed for adoption at 8, CPS was called & i never went back home. I didn't have one honestly.

Every family they put me in i ran away,did they catch me? Yes they did,but did it stop me? No it never did.

Was i running away today? Yep! This so called family are all white.

I'm not about to sit there & eat with a whole bunch of white people staring at me.

It was weird & their son had a weird obsession with me. Like have you never seen a black girl?

But they were hella rich tho. I had enough money for about a month because of my weekly allowance.

Now you're probably wondering why i was running away from Jenkins.

It's because i stole on of his donuts. I love messing with officer Jenkins,his my fav.

His always telling me to stay out of trouble. It was fun.

I didn't realize that I was at the house yet. I didn't want them to know i was there.

I hoped the fence, going back into the window of my room.

Grabbing my backpack , i quickly packed necessities, made sure everything was charged at 100% before going through the window again.

I hoped over the fence again. I start walking away,but i turn around,waving at the house.

"Bye bye house,bye Zoe" Zoe was this cute 5 year old that really liked me a lot,she would ask me to braid her hair all the time.

Turning back around, i plugged my headphones into my phone. Putting my skateboard down.

I started playing,'young dumb & broke' by Khalid, skateboarding down the street.

Feeling the air brush against my face & my curls. It felt good feeling free skating.

It made me smile feeling the air,the sunset,skating away of all my worries.

Not knowing where im going next was worrying but exciting to figure out what's happening next,adrenaline.

I related to the song, because i was indeed young,dumb? Maybe a little, broke? Might be.

But then again all good things somehow end for a reason.

This moment was gonna end, but it's about the present & not the future..

2 months later

"Jasmine you need to stop running" the adoption lady said, "i dont think
you'll like boarding school with this free spirit of yours.

I shrugged my shoulders,"you're lucky that there is a family that wants you" she said jolly.

"Woohoo yay clap my hands three time confetti" i said with sarcasm shaking my hands in the air.

"Pack up! This time I'm sure you won't run" she exclaimed.

"I don't have to pack, my whole life can fit in a backpack" i rolled my eyes, miss stacy shared a sympathy look.

It's true my whole life can fit in a backpack.

We arrived at the house. Miss Stacy knocked on the door. It opened revealing this tall Hispanic man & a short black woman.

"Oh my gosh! Hi jasmine!" She said hyper as fuck. "Alani!" She screamed.

We're at this point full blown in the house. I see this tall stud, making her way downstairs.

"This is your adoptive sister Jasmine!" Her mom said. Alani was way taller than me.

But i was wondering if i was just short as hell or was she tall as hell?

"Say hi" her mom hyper as fuck." Hi im Alani" she spoke up.

"Hello" i felt uncomfortable under her gaze. I put my body weight on my heals,shift as i look up seeing her still staring at me.

"Let's get you settled in! Alani will show you,your own room" her mom said.

She signalled me to follow her upstairs . She entered this big room. "This is your room"

Her voice was a little deep but still having that small feminine touch to it.

"Thank you" i said. "How old are you,you seem young?" She asked me.

"I'm 16 how about you?" She nodded her head.

"I'm 19" she said walking out the room. Well what a way of meeting.

She was fine but i had to chill out. I just got here.
