Classy and Trashy

A Con Artist

~Mona~

It's that familiar buzzing that wakes me up.. I sit up puffy eyed as my vision comes into play. It's 7 o'clock! I jump from my bed and spring into over drive! I have to be in school by 7:45!

Running to the bathroom I'm not shocked to find my little brother in there. I run to the downstairs bathroom and Mom is in there smoking a bogie.

"Fuck" I Cuss under my breath. And run back upstairs throwing on a pair of fishnets some distressed shorts my grud combat boots and a black tee.

Finally hearing the bathroom door I dash pushing my little sister out of my way and running in.

"MONA!!! it's not fair! It's my turn!" She shouts banging on the door.

Ignoring her I look in the mirror I have bags under my eyes from not getting enough sleep. I spent all last night out getting money. With bogus card games. It's tough with having six brothers and sisters. And being the middle child. I was constantly sneaking money into the rent checks. Just so we wouldn't get evicted. Mom cries at night and dad drinks. But only cuz he's stressed.

Looking at my phone it's 7:35 and I open the bathroom window and jump into the tree and shimmy down. Running to catch the bus. I catch it just ontime.

Getting to school I got the usual stares. I met my friends Mickie and Jorge. Yeah they are both straight and I'm there gay friend. They make me laugh and what not. My partners in crime.

"Mona!" Mickie screams and runs into my arms.

"Mickie!" I scoop her up and swing her around.

Jorge comes over and picks us up and spins us around. We laugh as the school bell rings but we don't care. We just hang back in the quad.

Taking out my pouch and pull out my Baggie of weed. Lighting it up I take a puff staring at the sky.

"You guys, I'm so stressed out.." I cough it out. And Mickie comes and hugs me taking a hit. Jorge takes the next hit. We all just lay there staring at the sky laughing high as a kite. The loner squad... I wish I could tell them what's really on my mind....
