Not That Bad Bein A Side Chick

My name is Monica. At the time this all began I was 12. That was a bout two years ago. Boy does time fly.

When I was 12 I met a boy. More like a boy met me.

The year was 2011. I was about 5'4, apperently thats tall only to be 12 years old and fresh out of the 6th grade. Im very light skin and very skinny. Not thick at all. My eyes are big and brown and my hair stops at the middle of my back. I guess you could say I was average lookin but not top-notch at all.

Summer had just started. It was maybe the third week in June. My big sister who was 15 bought some water balloons because our block, 53rd and Plaza cracked day in and day out. There was never a dull moment on Plaza.

Like I was sayin, my sister Myesha and I where filling up balloons in the back of our friends house.

They where three brothers. Christian, Charles, and Christopher and a sister Sentra. Before, I had sworn that no boy would ever be good enough for Monica Rhae Stevenson but my friend Micky had recently convinced me to give the youngest boy Chris a chancd so I did. Implus it all worked out cause Myesha and Christian where already toghther and so where Charles and my favorite cousin Leigh who lived next door. As we filled the balloons up my mama stopped us when she called us to leave. We had plans to see that new move 'Bad Teacher'.

That day I had on a light almost lime green sundress that stopped at mid thigh with a black camisole, black gladiator sandles and my hair was swooped to the side in a bun meeting up with my ear.

We on our way back home now. You can count on 53rd and Plaza to have damn there every teenager in our suburb Overtown Park.

When we pull up I see Leigh sitting nextdoor with some small girl and two kids other than her little brother Tyler.

I ask "Leigh who is this?" "You never met my uncle LaVelle. Hes in jail now but he has two kids from Iwoa," she says pointing to the two kids "and this is there aunt Mya she bout our age. A year younger than Myesha. She just small" "Are they on your mama or daddys side?" I asked Leigh "My moms. Yep they are your cousins too. The big one is Leecy and the little one is Lola"

I pick Lola up and coddle her in my arms. Shes a good smellin baby.

My other cousin Raelynn who live across the street too comes to talk to us. Shes my age.

We all speak "You hear about Deja party?" Raelynn ask. Me, Leigh and Myesha say no. "Well she havin one. Yal down to go?" "Helll yeah! You know i am. But where is it at?" Myesha ask. Yep my sister is a bit of a party girl. "I dont really know. Just that its behind Spring Ridge Elementary". "Hell yeah! Spring Ridge Elementary aint nothin but a jump hop and skip away from 53rd. But where is it at?".

Raelynn has this loud nosey friend named Nicka. Ever hear if Ezel from Friday? Well thats exactly what Nicka look and act like.

"I know!" Nicka budges in "Okay Leigh you wanna go?" Asks Myesha.

I was hoping had praying like hell Leigh said ni cause if she go K went too. I have never been to a party. Well cupcake and balloon paries but thats it. I had no clue what went on in those things. Good wholesome dancing? Or a bunch of whores. No clue. I was really really counting on Leigh to say no. Please Leigh say no.
