" why are you late from school!?"

My mom asked me as I walked in the door.

" I told you they making me tutor kids after school"

" I don't why they got a remedial kid teaching other kids, that's gone really make them not graduate"

desmond yelled .

" yo why are you even here, don't you have a life. You move out yet you here everyday, leave!" I yelled getting frustrated at his presence.

" lower your voice candice and don't talk to your brother like that again, you understand?. "

I stood there in disbelief.

" what?"

" you heard me"

" wow.. fucking wow" I mumbled

Storming off to my room I immediately turned on my music from my laptop.

As special affiar blared through out my room, the stresses of today melted away.

The students I taught today wasn't many, but they also weren't easy to work with either.

I just decided not to let it stress me out because if they chose not to graduate that's not my fault.

As the day got later I decided to shower and listen to music before I fell asleep, and with the day I had i knew it wouldn't take long.

Drying off and lotioning my body I grabbed one of my over sized t-shirts slipped on my boyshorts and climbed in to my canopy draped bed

Candice Room/ Bed in MM :

As I opened my laptop a Skype notification popped up on my screen, calling denise back I waited for her face to pop up.

" hey candy cane"

" hey D, Where you at?"

" girl I'm with zy' he wanted to go to the mall today, he shopping and I'm finding Job applications"

" oop got me some?"

Holding the paper to the screen she showed me the double applications she brought from different stores.

" you know it, if you get a job you can actually shop for yourself" she smiled.

No smile appeared on my face.

" who i gotta stab?"

I chuckled at her alertness.

" stop , I just - I just gotta hide the fact that I have a job"
