I Will Prosper

Chapter 1

She walks to the mirror and stares at herself. Taking in every inch of her appearance from head to toe. Her messy curly brown hair touching the mid part of her back, the Shape of her structure lips, the brim of her petite nose, and her eyes hazel as shone like sunlight on polished stone. She stares wondering why do I look like her? Why do I have her eyes? She touches her honey brown skin, thinking why do I look this way because all they do is call me different. She turns around and walks to the bathroom to get ready.

After she takes a hot shower she brushes her teeth, then she takes her hand and wipes the fog from the mirror.
" I am Prosper and I will! I will momma." She says.

Prosper got dress and ran downstairs trying to rush to get to the door before everyone else wakes up. She grabs an apple in fly to the bus. This has been a constant routine since she came to live with her aunt Maye. The faster you leave the less negativity you hear, most of it was directed to her most of the time. As she got on the bus she took a seat In the middle of the bus laying her head on the window.

"My last day at this hell hole." Prosper said.

"Look at the freak talking to herself. Don't you get tired of talking to yourself?" Shania said.

Shania was Bestfriends with Prosper at one point. It was when they got to high school Shania was down for stuff Prosper wasn't. Especially after Prosper granny died she blocked everybody out and was in her zone. Shania only said things to her out of anger of resistance.

"Get the fuck out my face alright. I woke up feeling good today, I don't have time for your attention-seeking ass today!" Prosper began to stare directly at her waiting for her to say something back.

"What the fuck ever bye." She said as she walked to take her seat.

Prosper wasn't taking no mess today it was the last day of school and summer was tomorrow. She just wanted to mind her business and get on about her day.

"Ay Prosper wassup man? Last day of school how you gonna act man?" As he started doing the dougie down the hall way.

She knew that voice from anywhere. Prosper turned around smiling ready to dap her main mans up.

"Hey gunny! I'm about to act chill as hell. Just ready for 1:30 to get her so I can bounce. " she said moving her leg to the other side.

"Word I feel you. I guess I'm going to be like you then so I don't look childish as hell. I'm just glad summer is here! Moe money and bitches!" He said smiling from ear to ear.

"Man you crazy but that's how y'all males get down in Philly I guess." Prosper said.

" Yeah you right!" I'll holler at you later alright? Stay poise youngin." Gunny said as he walked off.

Prosper met Gunny when she was in the eighth grade. Gunny over heard some girls planning to jump Prosper when they got off the bus. He didn't know her like that but he knew she didn't start with anyone. Gunny always watched how girls messed with her for no reason. That day Gunny threaten all them girls and made them fight them Prosper one one on one. Ever since that day they been joint to the hip.

Prosper made her way through school avoiding and blocking out everybody. She decided to walk home today instead of riding the bus. It was summer and she was definitely ready for summer. As she walked through the screen door she heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

" I done told you about walking out of here in the morning without saying you gone. You keep on and you going to be missing a tooth, think I'm playing prosper. Prosper!? What kind of name was my momma thinking? Ugh! Like you special or something just how she thought of your mother. To bad she died giving birth to you. Now look at you took momma away too. Your no better than any of us, just Prosper that will never prosper." Her aunt Maye walks off laughing at her own joke.

Prosper shakes her head as she hurried upstairs. Can't even drop a tear because she have heard it all to the point it stings for a bit, but then she begins to believe it and excepts the fact that her aunts right. Well that's what she believes. She hears the door close and just screams.

"I HATE MY LIFE!!! I'M TIRED OF THIS! I Didn't ask for this ...... I didn't mean too .. I swear I didn't mean too.." She began to rock back in forth crying hysterically. Actually believing she was the reason why the two most important people in her life was gone because of her.

"Granny I can't prosper." She whispers.
