Is Love What I Need?

Chapter 1

My life
Lexi

I woke up to the ringing of my alarm as I hurriedly tried to turn it off before my mom woke up. This was my daily routine wake up brush teeth, wash my face, do my hair, lip gloss, then clothes. I did all of this in less than an hour. If I wasn't out of the house by 7:50 my mom would literally drag me out of the house. Let me explain my mom or should I even call her that? But anyways, she's a hard drinker. She smokes weed and she's a prostitute. She leaves at 9 everyday and doesn't come back until 10 that night. So that's really my free time. Her name is Joseline but people in the hood call her Candy. Yes the hood. We live in the most worst part of LA. But next to my two older sisters. Their names are Armoni and Keloni. My mom liked them more then me so she made their names close to each other. They are like the best of friends which is what makes my life worst. Sometimes all three of them will jump on me and beat me. So I have no say in this house or right. But my first chance I get, I'm moving out but you know what sucks about that idea....that's right I'm 17. I can't move out until 18. But I most definetley will but that's a whole year away. I guess I'll make it. But let me get ready before I get thrown down the stairs again. I grabbed my toothbrush and went into the bathroom and started brushing my teeth. I heard the door open and I looked and saw Armoni. She gave me a ugly look and pushed me out the way." Move bitch" she said as she forcefully pushed me into the wall. I didn't do anything I just finished brushing my teeth and washing my face and walked out. That's a everyday thing. I went in my room and lotioned my body down. I grabbed some white ripped shorts with a red and white shirt that says "Baddie" on the front. Even though my mom doesn't like me she makes sure she keeps me fly so she can keep her "reputation" as she say. But never as fly as Armoni or Keloni. They always have new stuff. I get new stuff once a month but them every weekend. I grabbed my red and white Jordan's and laced them up. I put on my lip gloss and my necklace that my Aunt gave me. She's the only one that loves me but she lives in Chicago. I grabbed my iphone5 and bookbag and walked out of my room. I was almost out the door before my mom yelled my name. "LEXI GET YOUR SKINNY ASS UP HERE NOW". I sighed and walked back upstairs and stood in the doorway. Waiting for her to turn around. She turned around and continued"when you get out of school take this money and buy some food from the grocery store with yo bony ass you need to eat and get thick like your sisters and momma..now take yo ugly ass on" she said before slamming her bedroom door in my face. I picked my stuff back up and walked downstairs out the door. I was walking until I heard a familiar voice cone up behind me." Lexiiii" I chuckled once I knew who it was. It was my best friend since 6th grade Camilla."Hey milla what you doing the bus will be here in about 5 minutes" I said while hugging her."oh really I didn't notice" she said sarcastically. I laughed at her sarcasism. "Alright lady then let's go" I said while turning to walk.
1 hour later
"Wassup Lexi baby girl you free this weekend" Julian said smirking. "No Julian now walk away and go back to your thick girls that you oh so love" I said while rolling my eyes. Julian was my ex he cheated on me with Keloni yes my own sister. "No problem baby girl but I'm gone get yo skinny ass back" I sighed and started walking to my locker. As I got closer I saw Camilla standing by my locker waiting for me. Camilla was a lightskin pretty girl with a big butt and medium boobs. The boys were crazy over her. Me on the other hand I was brown skin and had medium boobs and a little butt. But it fitted my body I didn't look weird or anything."Lexiii guess what honey" she said as she saw Me approaching her." What now Milla" I said while grabbing my books for math."Don't be like that but I was wondering if you would come to this party that my cousin is throwing this weekend every one is going to be there" she said with hope in her eyes. " No milla you know how my momma is she'll murder me". I said looking as if I was frightened. " I wish I could murder her" she mumbled. I chuckled and started walking to class. "We will finish this conversation Lexi!!" she yelled while walking down the hall. "Okay!!" I yelled back. I chuckled and ran down the stairs as the warning bell rang. I got in my class and sat down in my seat. I started waiting for the teacher to come only for the principal to come instead and say that a substitute was coming instead. I put my head on my desk and started drawing." What you drawing..how good you wish you look even though you look like a rat" I heard a girl voice say out loud causing the class to laugh. "No but if I was drawing that you would wish that was you because you ain't nothing but a fat girl u ain't thick and you ugly. I wish you never were my sister you hoe" I yelled as I looked at her intensely, sneering my nose. Next thing I know Keloni grabbed my hair and banged my head on the desk and whispered in my ear"Wait till we get home bitch" she said before letting go of my hair. The whole class just continued what they were doing because they knew she was wrong. I shook my head and grabbed my things and walked out of the classroom. I went into the bathroom and fixed myself. I looked into the mirror and asked myself am I greedy or Is Love What I Need?
