School sucked again . Walking home in this Memphis heat is fun too . Rounding the corner I see mom pulling out the drive way. She's headed to work 3-11pm shift . As I walk into the familiar empty house I go straight to my bedroom. Put down my books and purse ,so glad to finally be home. I'm exhausted! !! 10 th grade sucks !! Frienimes sucks ! I'm not so sure I can take another minute of this dam heat . I swear it's 110 degrees outside today. Late sept.. I decide to make a small salad and some sweet tea ,u guessed it it's the southern girl in me .. the ol familiar chore list is on the counter ,the one mom leaves daily so I can scrub the house like a f-ing maid. Ugh. I do everything around our home. And there must be nothing out of place !! Tea made and fresh towels in the cabinet. .. so yeah I basically go to school come home and clean house for hours and then study go to bed and do it all over again. As I'm eating my salad, I hear a knock on the door ,but she just came right on in too. My best friend Tammie !! She's here as much as I am. Hey Chicky do !! She says as she pulls a glass out the cabinet and pours her self some sweet tea. Hey ,why wasn't u in school today missy ? I ask . Tam gives me this side ways grin that says I wasn't being a very good girl .. Tammie has been seeing one of the hottest guys at our school for quit some time. She's doing the love Thang as she calls it. I tell her it's a dumb thing !! She laughs. We have been bff's for like 10 yrs. Ain't one thing we hide from each other. We tell each other every detail of our lives ,daily. We talk a lot . But today Tam seems a Lil shy with the info .which is not how Tam is ... so this makes me wonder. Tam is there something u want to tell me ? Her face beat red . She says I did it . Knowing my best friend ... I knew exactly what she had done. My face wouldn't allow me to lie , so I just kept it at that ,the look of disgust !!! I finally burst out with ..ewwwww!!!! She's laughing so hard. But with mild embarrassed face . I walk to the sink ,put the bowl in and walk to my room. Tam following me.. we lay down on the bed and start to gossip about the event. Tam hasn't been a virgin for quite some time. She just took it to other levels we will say .. my water bed is way too warm. I HATE to be to hot !! I guess living with a asthma mom ,which she keeps the house at a nice 20 degrees so she can breath ,has made me use to cold. Tam ,I have to get a shower now I'm sweating .you know I itch if I sweat. Lol Tam looks at me as if she's known this her whole life !! So I grab a towel and head to the shower . Tam of course sits on the side of the tub and talks to me as I wash . She's asking me what our weekend plans are .. I'm so ready for the weekend. Tomorrow is Friday !! Yes teens live for the weekends! ! Although we never really do anything other then hang out at my house with most of the town .. all the teens come to my house ( no parents ) lol. Just me and mom live in this house. So when she's at work everybody comes here to hang with me . It's always some drama ,tears ,fights, but mostly FUN !! We are teens after all. I tell Tam it will be another fun filled drama fest !! She smiles . Later that night sitting alone on my bed I realize it's 11:42pm so I go to the living room ,must open door for her queen .. as mom walks in the door. She tells me I need to tell ya sum thing . So I follow her to her room where she proceeds to undress ,taking off the nursing uniform she hates so much. .. she says. Melanie u know I've been seeing Rick for a while now. And I've ask him and his son to move in here with us .. ..... OK this is weird . My mom don't do the living together Thang !!! I stare at her . Not saying a word. We kids were never allowed to say anything. U just agree with her. My two older sisters who live else where now. Never question mom either. We like our teeth firmly in our head ,and if u messed up. Mom would have knocked them out. . So I ask.. calmly. When are they moving in ? Tomorrow. I think my eyes bulged out my head for a sec ,but I put my head down facing the floor so she wouldn't be mad.. I always look at the floor when she speaks. It's how it is around here. She's was comfy in her bed clothes now and getting all settled in ,she reads for hours every night. Insomnia or some shit .. I don't know. .but the pharmacy on her bed side table says she Cleary had issues. She tells me to get her some tea so I make the tea hand it to her and head off to bed. I have school tomorrow. ...
