Talia POV

' I don't think they know the truth

Say they saw (A-A-to the L-I-Y-A-H)

I don't think they know,

how could they know

I don't think they know the truth

Say they saw

I don't think they know, how could they know'

My alarm on my phone went off playing Don't Think They Know by Chris Brown and Aaliyah. That song basically describes my life. They really dont know. How could they know? I dont let anyone into my personal life. But people think they know because they see a pretty face and a nice body. But they DONT know.

My name is Talia Smart. Im 5'2". I have captivating brown eyes. I have long dark curly hair. I hate how much I look like my mom. I start to hate her more and more everyday. She doesnt even show that she loves me. All she cares about is her stupid ass husband. If I tell her what he does to me she would probably turn it around and make it my fault.

The only person I know that cares about me is my bestfriend, Cole. We been friends since second grade when he beat down some kid that was harassing me. Cole is amazing and funny. He is like 6'3" and light skinned. He has cute little dimples and beautiful eyes and always a fresh hair cut. He is good for a gay guy. He is always there when I need him but I haven't told him about my struggle at home. I just don't want sympathy from people.

I looked at the time and it said 6:32 am. School starts in 2 hours. I slowly got up and went to the bathroom. I did all my hygiene stuff and straightened my hair. I went to my closet and put on a floral and light blue striped light blouse, blue shorts with a orange zig zag pattern on one side, my blue and orange Lebrons, and a bow ring. I put on some mascara and clear lip gloss. I grabbed my book bag and head downstairs. I went to the front door and opened it.

"Make sure your home early. Ima be waiting." Gerald, my stepdad said. I rolled my eyes and walked out the house. I put my headphones in my ears and made my way to the bus stop.

10 minutes later I sat on the bench waiting for Cole and the bus. I was listening to music and reading the new story I started on Wattpad. I heard a car honk and I looked up. I couldnt see anything because the windows was tinted. The driver rolled down the window and I took my head phones out.

"Do you need a ride ma?" He asked. I sucked my teeth at him. What do I look like getting a ride from a stranger.

"No thank you." I said. I focused back on my book but he didn't drive away.

"Alright. See you around ma." He said. I nodded and he drove away. A few minutes later Cole came and sat next to me. I gave him a big hug.

"Hey Tete. I missed you over the last week of summer. Why didnt you come visit?" He asked. I don't want to tell him that I had bruises that need to heal.

"I wasn't feeling good at all. But did you have fun?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Yah I guess. I went on a failure date. He was a broke nigga." I laughed at that. I love Cole because he always be rashing about his bad dates. He was mid speech when the bus pulled up. I really need to save up for a car.

We got on the bus and made our way to school. We talked all the way there. 30 minutes later the bus stopped in front of our school. Me and Cole got off and walked to the courtyard where everyone was. Some freshman were walking round like they the shit and some girls checked out Cole.

"Cole, I think them girls tryna get some from you." I said pointing at the girls. He scrunched up his face at them.

"Eww. Ion want they used crusty ass lop sided ass pussy. Nasty ass chicas." He said loud enough for them to hear. I busted out laughing and they walked away. We walked over to some people that we just associate ourselves with.

"Ms. Smart may I speak to you over here." My principal asked. I nodded and followed him. We walked over to a guy. When he turned around I noticed it was the same guy that asked me if I needed a ride.

"Ms. Smart, this is Jason Matthews. He is new to this school. I want you to guide him today since you both have the same classes. I know I can trust you." The principle said. I groaned and nodded my head. He walked away leaving me and Jason just standing here.

"Talia is a very beautiful name for a girl like you." He said. I looked up at him and he had a smirk on his face. I see him tryna spit game in the first few minutes of knowing me. Im not gonna front and say he wasnt cute. He was like 6'4", had gray eyes, a nice smile, a very nice athletic build, nice waves with a line up, and his swag was on point. But he isn't my type and I don't see myself with a boyfriend anytime soon. During my thought the bell rang and I heard Cole calling me. I collected my thoughts and started walking along side Jason.

As we were walking to first period, he was saying wassup to hella people. It felt like the whole damn school. We made it to Mr. Mitchelle's class just in time. I took a seat in the back. Cole doesn't have all classes with me this year unlike last year. Jason soon came and sat next to me.

Mr. Mitchelle just gave us our syllabus and made the rest of the class free time. That's a good hour to talk. People started to just bring chairs around me and Jason's table. I sighed and brought out my phone. I took a selfie and posted it on instagram.

"Hey Talia." This one guy that is nice to me but we barely speak, says to me. I smile and wave at him. Him, Jason and a couple of other guys started there own conversation.

"Talia, do you want a ride home after school?" Jason asked out of nowhere. I rolled my eyes. He needs to give up.

"No. I am taking the bus with my friend." I said not looking up from my phone. Jason just let out a sigh and continued his conversation. The whole day pretty much went like this. Him trying to talk to me,and me just ignoring him.
