"Honestly Carolyn, you know Mrs. Clay has it out for me and it's not because of my attentiveness," I spoke as I was walking down the hallway with my little sister.
"Victoria you're reading too much into it! She's always been a bitter old lady."
She said annunciating the words bitter old lady.
"Seriously Care! She's so rude to me but sweet to everyone else. You know I'm the only black kid in that class. I'm telling you she has it out for me."
"Whatever you say Vic, meet me under the rotunda after the bell. Mr. Weeks will GRILL me if I'm late again!"
"See ya care bear!"
"Later Icky Vicky!"
Look ya'll , we live in the south. The Deep South. Eli Whitney Preparatory School. If you don't know who that is, he invented the cotton gin. The thing that caused my people to be removed from the motherland. Pretty much everything down here is named after white supremacists. Which is great! (SARCASM) I honestly hate it here, all the white kids call me and my friends mutts except the one white friend I have. Her name is Jordan.
I walk into Chemistry and sit next to Tianne. She looks like she's about to snap. I send her a text.
Vic: Girl what's going on with you ?
Tianne: Ashley got one more time to keep calling us monkeys and I will GO APE ON HER.
Vic: Don't you know Principal Slader will just suspend us both. And that's what everybody in this school besides Jordan wants.
Tianne: You right, I bet if we smile and act like she doesn't exist it'll piss her off.
Vic: You know it lol
Tianne instantly smiles and gives me a boisterous "hey girl" and I see Ashley make the most disgusting sneer I've ever seen in my life. So I give the biggest smile I can and return the greeting for my dear friend.
Doesn't Ashley know? My black is beautiful and I will not be told otherwise. She better quit frowning though, she'll get premature wrinkles.
This Chemistry class should be quite interesting.

General FictionI'm so sick of how my people are treated. A white man can kick and spit on a police officer but let my people walk down the street in below zero weather with their hands in their pockets and we get questioned ? What the fuck ? Something must be done...
