The Pure One

The bell rang. The final bell of the school year sounded throughout my high school. If anyone thinks i am gonna stick around that would be a HELL NO! High school is not for me. i wasn't a nerd or anything but i wasn't a pretty popular cheerleader either. I guess  i should tell you that my name is Kayla Winter and I live in New Orleans Louisiana. My birthday is a week after school lets out but i never make a big deal out of my birthday. Every year something goes wrong on my birthday. Someone close to me either dies or i get deadly ill or best yet i was homeless last year but now i live in a small house near the French Quarter which is where i spend most of my time anyways. I work as a street performer. i do all kinds of things to get my dollar. and no i don't mean a stripper or prostitute. i play my guitar or magic tricks i come up with, but dancing is my favorite! I'm the only 15 year old that works it seems like. I have been out longer than usual lately so i can hopefully buy me a car for my birthday. my family isn't the best my mom is a elementary school teacher and my dad ran off. but that's OK he was an ass anyways. he emotionally abused me all the time and even got physical but nothing too serious i know it could've been a lot worse so i don't complain. he is gone and my mom is dating a cool guy. his name is Robbie and he is an ex-military and currently in school for being a cook so he is pretty cool i guess you could say.

I walked down the long stair way out of the school with my headphones in. i like all music so my spotify starred list has something for everyone except contemporary christian i hate that stuff! I walked down the street to get to the community bus stop.i hopped on already seeing drunks at 3:00 pm but that's New Orleans for  ya! I love it here! The bus dropped me off at canal street in front of the Marriott hotel. i kept walking till i came to the turn on Bourbon street. the cops were already closing the streets for street performers and the many drunks that are tourist or just got off work

I could see the Dragon Master Showcase already starting their dance. They always had a big crowd, and if their name sounds familiar that's because they preformed on America's Got Talent but lost. They played "blurred lines' by Robin Thicke. I didn't know what i was gonna do yet. it was only about 3 and i didn't want to work since i want to celebrate graduating sophomore year. i was really scratching my head on what to do until nightfall when the real fun begins. I saw a figure on a skate bored coming my way i smiled when Luke finally reached me. Luke is one of my best friends. he is a year older than me but he dropped out of school last year, but he is quite smart he is gonna have a bright future. he has a tattoo sleeve on one arm and his ears pierced. his short light brown hair was always styled and even though he is my friend and only that, i can't help but say he was hot.

"good afternoon Kayla, and how do you plan to waste another summer?" he asked me with a stupid grin on his face, his smile was perfect and that bothered me cause he could be an ass at times but he looked Innocent despite all the tattoo's.

"shut the fuck up! and i wont waste it, actually i plan on working towards my career" I always planned on moving to L.A. to be an actress but i will probably have to wait till i graduate high school, but i figured if i could somehow talk to some talent managers perhaps one will like me and my dream may take off sooner.

"ah right the plan" he turned and started walking signalling me to follow him skate bored tucked under his arm.

"what have you been doing today" kinda laughing. He doesn't go to school so what does he do with his day. he is a waiter at Channing Tatum's club "saints and sinners" so we hang out there whenever he works, but that is at night 3 times a week. I feel like i never have enough time to do anything during the school year but i have no clue what i would do when i didn't have to go anymore. how would i stay entertained? what ever i did it would be better than high school.

"I actually visited someone" he replied and he has a weird look on his face.

"who" i asked now very curious. for some reason the mood changed but i am not sure what it means.
