just a little bit.

My grandma was at work while I was getting ready to go to work. My schedule is beyond hectic for week. I asked for extended hours just, so I can have extra money. Drew found a job as well. She works at Kroger. Not to far from me. We finish our Junior year in about a month. Finals are coming up and stuff. I'm beyond stressed out, and I'm praying Drew doesn't get stressed out. But then again, Drew can cope with things. I'm not really good at it. I'm working on it though. I feel beyond under pressure at this day and time.

"Pen, I'll need you do inventory. Basically count what we have a write it down. It shouldn't take long." Mrs. Clark told me, "I want your first day to be easy, so just relax after that. Tomorrow you'll have more work. Any questions?"

"Yes," I was indecisive about how I was going to word this, but I'll just go with the flow. "Is it possible for me to have more working hours although I'm in school?" She sort of scrunched her face up with displeasure and confusion.

"Why do you want more hours? I think 2-3 hours a day is good." I really didn't want to put my business out like that, so I beat around the bush.

"Uh— I'm just having family issues. Money is tight, and I need to help my grandma." Okay it wasn't a total lie, but it worked for the moment.

"Um.. Okay... Yea. I'll see what I can do. Now get to work Mr. Griffey." I nodded heading to the back of the store.

Inventory wasn't bad at all. Pretty simple. Around 9:54 I left work to head home. I went to Kroger to buy some kool - aid packages and  sugar. I spent just about 3 dollars I had in spare change. I drove home arriving at 10:35. I still had homework, but I was pretty tired, so I didn't do it. Thank god I have a study hall.

Walking into a silent house is so awkward. My grandma was obviously sleep because I didn't hear the tv going on in the small living room. I walked into the kitchen putting the Kool - aid on the counter. I walked down the hall to the bathroom to start my shower.

The shower lasted just about 20 minutes. I put a skin so soft lotion on, and some deodorant. Soon followed by some dingy pajamas. I went back to the kitchen making my red Kool - aid. I put it in the freezer, so it could get cold. I warmed up my food that was in the microwave. It was mash potatoes, chicken, and green beans. My favorite. I sat a the plastic table in our dining room analyzing my home. I realized we had tons of groceries. And only one thing popped in my mind. Food Stamps. It's like that's the only highlight of being poor. Free food, ain't nothin better then that.

After finishing my plate. I poured myself a cup of Kool - aid. Maybe about 3 cups. It was good as hell. I placed the pitcher in the refrigerator, heading upstairs to my room. It was 11:24. I was definitely in the mood for making a song.

I'm up right now, got drank in my cup
right now
Dank in my blunt right now
I can't give a fuck right now

Drake How 'Bout Now song is very inspirational. I had to make a remix. Well working with him would be sick as fuck. I'm just, so ready for my time. I laid in bed thinking of some more verses for my song until I fell asleep.

9:57 a.m

Working so late put me in a slum. I was deep in my sleep. I didn't even hear my alarm go off, or my grandma wake me up.

I'm so sorry baby, I'll make it up to you.  - Pen

She had a big test today, and she's not really a fan of staying after unless she's really required to. I hope her parents took her, or she caught the bus. I stretched sitting right side up on the side of my bed. For some reason I was hard, and I didn't know why. I tried to ignore it, but it want working. I went to my piano, reading my lyrics that I put together. I grabbed my Jenkee android phone, going to YouTube. I searched Drake's How 'Bout Now Instrumental. Rapping my lyrics to it. Quite impressed. I'm such a genius. Musical genius.

I decided I'll save that song for a later purpose.

Did you get to school? - Pen

The bell for the next class isn't until a quarter after 10, so she wasn't going to respond until then. Well that's if she's even there. I walked into the living seeing my ma laid out slumped. Dressed and ready in her work clothes. I'm so confused on why she didn't wake me up. "Grandma," I said shaking her a bit.

"Hmmm," was her response.

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You looked like you needed the sleep, so I left you alone,"

"Thanks, I did."

Since I had a lot of time on my hands, I wrote some more songs. Well just three. I'm trying to put together a album. Something worth listening to.

I couldn't necessarily figure out the right a decent beat, so I just chilled after that. My grandma left around half past 1. I rolled up a blunt and smoked it.

Cloud nine. Drew did text me. She made it to school taking the bus. She told me she was lonely. I just wanted to dick her down, but I remembered she was pregnant. Great.

"Pen, we need to schedule a doctor's appointment." Drew advised.

"I know. Uh we'll call the women's hospital tomorrow." I told her.

"Okay, great. I'll call you later babe." I hung up the phone after she said that. I was high, and ready to go to sleep. Completely forgetting I had to work.
