Harlem

Six

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty!" Leona greeted, walking into Harlem's room as she snatched back the curtains allowing the sun to shine throughout the room.

"Mmm, no can I just start next week?"Harlem groaned placing one of her extra pillows on top of her head as she turned her back towards Leona.

"No, but what you can start doing is getting dressed, I'll be back in ten and you better be out this bed." Leona said more so in a warning tone as she walked out of Harlem's room.

Kissing her teeth Harlem screamed into her pillow as she sat up against the headboard. "What did I do to deserve this?"

Pulling the covers from her body she grabbed her phone from the small white table beside her bed, her eyes nearly budged out of her head seeing that it was only six thirty in the morning.

Releasing a deep sigh she made her way toward one of her suitcases pulling out something to wear. After googling about the school she found out that they can wear whatever they like as long as it was appropriate in public school, unlike private school where you had to wear uniform and that was about the only thing she liked about this new school of hers.

Finding a pink Chanel shirt that her mother bought her for her sixteenth birthday a few months ago, she found the perfect pair of jeans and a pair of shoes that went  with her outfit.

Walking inside the bathroom she took a shower washing her body, but also purposefully wasting time hoping Leona would change her mind and let her start on Monday, instead of today a Friday.

Drying herself off she lotion down and began to record on her phone.

"Hey guys it's me Harlem, I'm so sorry it's been so long since I last updated a video. Ugh! So much has happened within the past few days. I'm sure a lot of you may know, and some may not but my parents were arrested for embezzlement. Yeah, yeah I know, it's a shame." She sighed. "It's a lot pray for ya girl." She said shaking her head.

"I'm sure as you can see from the tacky background I am not in my own bathroom at home, I'm currently staying with my mom's mom, whom I just met just a few day ago.. so yeah. That's the update on that. Um so today's my first day at a public school and I gotta say I'm kinda nervous. Not sure what to expect but good thing is we can wear whatever so that's cool. "Fit check, fit check." Harlem smiled, moving the camera so she could get a glimpse of her outfit.

"Something simple a shirt from Chanel, and this is the real shit, not that knock off Chanel we don't do that around here boo." Harlem laughed as she began doing her makeup.

"Some cute jeans and my Jordan 11 legend pink and I will be carrying my bag which is big enough to fit my books in."

Hearing a loud bang on the door a scream escaped Harlem lips. "Little girl you better be ready soon, while you in there talking to yourself." Leona spoke from the other side of the closed door.

"And that right here ladies and gentlemen is Leona my mom's mom." She rolled her eyes as she finished her makeup and flat ironed her hair.

Opening the door she jumped back startled that Leona stood across the hall with her arms folded and a scowl on her face.

"You scared me." Harlem spoke walking past Leona into her room.
