"of mankind, if he lyin', color should never rival beauty is what you make it."

I SLIPPED ON MY old beat up black converse and slid my keys into my back pocket as I walked out the house closing the door behind me.

I pulled my hoodie over my head and placed my hands into my pocket as I walked to the dollar store wanting some candy.

It was about a five minute walk when I finally reach and open the door, quickly walk inside, scanning through each aisle until I find the extreme sour skittles. As I go to reach for it I could feel another hand on top of mine.

I look up and see Devin, he looked pretty damn good in that nasa jacket but I'm not going to tell him that. He looked down at me, but he didn't smile. He didn't look happy or mad, just emotionless.

"Hey babe did you find th- what is she doing here?" I looked behind him and saw Aniya walking out way.

Babe?

"It's a public store you dumbass I can be here if I want too." I said nonchalantly, grabbing the skittles and holding them to my chest.

Aniya just glared at me but i just shrugged it off and walked to the cashier, paying for the candy and walking out, but as soon as I step foot outside the door I felt someone pull my body to face them. It was Aniya.

"I know you like Devin." She said smiling but it wasn't the good kind.

"I d-don't like Devin." I backed up a little.

"Don't play dumb with me, I know you like Devin. He wouldn't like you you're too black and ugly, dark as coal. Nobody would be caught dead to me seen with a creature like you, Devin wants someone like me light skinned and pretty, not you so stay away or I'll tell him got it."

I nod not trusting my voice and turn to run away. I could feel tears streaming down my face but I didn't care I just kept running.

She's right he wouldn't like someone like me. I roughly wipe away the tears and open my house door rushing up the stairs. I ignore my mothers calls out to me and go into my room, curling up in my bed crying for the rest of the night.

Eh it's not that good but whatever.
