Love Changed Me

Chapter 1

''Armani breakfast is waiting for you dear'' says our maid Betty. I was still in the mirror taking selfies on my new Iphone 6s plus. After scoring a 7 on my Ap literature test my dad surprised me with it and took me on a shopping spree.

''Okay'' I say taking another selfie and grabbing my belongings and heading downstairs.

''Good morning everyone'' I say smiling.

''Good morning sweetheart'' my dad says walking over to kiss me on the cheek.

'' Good morning love'' my mother says. ''How'd you sleep?''

''Good. I was up all my phone most of the night but I made sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep. That's all that matters'' I say sipping my orange juice.

''It would of been even better if you would of gotten 8. Don't make that phone become a bad habit'' my dad says. I nod my head.

''I won't sir'' I say smiling.

''Good morning y'all'' says my older sister Brittney coming in the kitchen.

''Good morning Britt'' my mother says dryly.

''Morning baby girl'' my dad says.

''Morning Stanka'' she says hitting me in the head. She was always the different one in the family. The loud ratchet one while I was the sweet innocent one. Brittney did graduate from high school and now she's going to college to be a teacher. My mother is disappointed in her because she wanted Brittney to become a lawyer just like her. She says teachers doesn't make that much money and always end up broke. Brittney says its her life and she can do anything that she sets her mind too.

''Morning Stinka'' I say. 

''Aww Betty you just knew that I was coming over didn't you?" Brittney says fixing her a plate f pancakes, sausage and eggs.

''You're always popping up of out surprise so I figured today was your lucky day'' Betty says making me laugh.

''Girl this is why I always loved you'' she says fixing a tall glass of orange juice. ''Stanka you need a ride to school?''

''I would love to save some gas. I will also need a ride from school as well. Are you willing to do that?''

''Yes ma'am I surely am'' she says sounding proper.

''Take her directly to school'' my mother says.

''Where else ima take her?" Brittney asks.

''Somewhere with you'' my mother says.

''Yeah and I bet she'll love it with me more than she love it here'' Brittney says.

''Its time to go'' I say putting my plate in the sink and giving Brittney a glare. ''Have a nice day mother an father'' I say kissing them on the cheeks. ''An you too Ms. Betty'' I say hugging her.

''Bye Pops and Ma'' Brittney says. We were so opposite.

''Why do you call them pops and ma?" I ask.

''Cause I'm black and not white'' she says.

''So what are you trying to say?'' I ask.

''That you're not white so stop acting like it Stanka. You're black! Mom and dad treats you like you're a white kid. Doesn't even like you go out to parties or anything. You're a senior in high school. Grow up and let them know that you're ready to get from behind this mask and be yourself. Its aggravating and one day its going to pop in you and you're going to step up'' she says.

''This is who I am tho'' I say.

''Naw thats who you think you are'' she says turning on the radio and Justin Bieber song ''Sorry'' is on. 

''Oh my god this is my song'' I say singing along.

''See look at this shit'' she says changing the radio station to some hip hop.

''I just fucked your bitch in some gucci flip flops'' she says.

''Such cruel language you know'' I say.

''You need to come stay with me for a month or two.'' she says.

''No mom doesn't want me staying with you''

''Man you're 18 years old. Grow up and be in charge'' she says.

''What was your GPA in high school?'' I ask her.

''3.2 why?''

''3.2? I would absolutely die if I ever brung home a 3.2'' I say.

''You finna get kicked out my car'' she says.

''Why?"

''A 3.2??? REALLY?? That isn't bad at all. What you have? 4.567? ''she says trying to sound funny.

''No I  have a 4.1. I wish it was a 4.5. You just gave me a new idea to take some more classes online. That would re--'' she cuts me off.

''OH MY GOD SHUT UP ALREADY! I was just like you once upon a time. acting all like a goody too shoes until somebody finally put me in my spot and made me realize that this wasn't me. Its your senior year have fun and not worry about taking more than 7 classes. Geesh'' Brittney says turning up the radio. She could really hurt my feelings sometimes.

''Have a nice day'' she says dropping me off in front of the school.

''Same too you'' I say while getting out the car. My bestfriend Gabie had just texted me telling me to meet her by the girls locker room. I made my way towards the girls locker room and seen Gabie talking to a few other girls.

''Hey'' I say smiling at her.

''Wassup?" she says walking towards me '' I'll catch you guys later'' she says to them. They wave and walk off.

''Brittney has hurt my feelings once again'' I say.

''When doesn't she?" Gabie asks.

''That's not cool'' I say.

''You're not cool'' she says laughing. My feelings was hurt once again
