Journey

End of August

Beep! Beep! Beep!
I swing my arm around and shut off my alarm. I wake up, stretch and just stare at my bedroom wall for 5 mins. It's the. First day of hell I mean school, eh whatever there the same thing anyway.

I make my way to my bathroom and stare at myself in the mirror, I  turn on the shower as hot as it can go and wait for it to warm up. I take off my clothes and stare at myself in the mirror, I run my hands over my ebony skin and through my faux locs that I've had in for quite some time now. I finally hop in the shower and do my hygiene routine and make my way to my closet to decide what I want to wear today.

"Maybe I want to go causal today." I thought to myself. I pick out a black shirt with black shorts, black sandals, a jean shirt to tie around my waste and I put my faux locs in a high bun. I add a few gold accessories for a little bling. I grab my book bag, and my keys and make my way to Dunkin' Donuts. I cannot function without a ounce of coffee maybe I'll even grab a donut.

As I was in Dunkin' Donuts waiting for my vanilla iced coffee, in walks in the most cocky, arrogant, irritating,sexy, tall, dark and fine boy that goes to my school. Jordan. He believes that he can get any girl he wants with a snap of his finger which is true but that doesn't mean he has to use that as an advantage.

"Hey Journey" Jordan says from behind me as I was getting my coffee getting ready to go.

"Hi Jordan" I say back trying to hurry out

"You look nice on the first day of school, I mean if you wanted my attention all you had to do was ask" he says with that beautiful smile of his

I scrunch my face up " Honey please, I look good for myself not you" he stands there kind of in shock as I grab my things and leave. That's what he gets for thinking he all that and a bag of chips.

If you haven't noticed my names is Journey. Journey Beautiful Williams. I am darkskin, plump as can be and I rock my faux locs. I continued on to my destination. Pulling up to school was dreadful, I stayed in my car feeling as though I forget something.

"On snap" I plastered on a blank expression, there we go lets get this show on the road. As I walk into school and head to my locker I hear my name being called down the hall.

"JOURNEY!"

"Who in the world" I think to myself as I turn my head and come face to face with none other than my best friend Jaelynn...Its the first day of school and this girl is already loud smh.

"Damn Jaelynn its not even 7:00 and you already loud" My other sista from another mista Yasmin says as she comes stands next to me.

"Its the first day of our junior year guys, aren't you excited" Jaelynn says while bouncing up and down

"I'll be excited once I graduate" I say as I place my bag into my locker, grab my books and head to my first period. I check my schedule and see that I have Spanish first period, damn are you serious.

"What do you guys have first period" I asked Jaelynn and Yasmin

"I have Algebra 2 damn" Yasmin says pouting.

"I have Chemistry" Jaelynn says looking down at her schedule

"Well I guess we all have to part ways cause I have Spanish, I'll catch up with yall at lunch" I say as we all go our separate ways. I walk up the stairs to my first period and when I tell you I was out of breathe I almost died whew I did not miss those stairs. When I got into my first period class I was not happy with who I saw.

"Hey Journey" OMG why does this boy have to be here. Before I could respond in walks the teacher.

"Good Morning class today we are going to assign seats so don't get too comfortable for the simple fact that we are going to be doing a lot of partner work" The whole class groaned. Oh please don't let me sit by Jordan, please please please.
