Meet Lonnie

"Fuck." I whispered to myself while trying to start up my beat up car I laid my head on the steering in defeat.

I heard someone knock on my window, scaring me half way to death.

"Jesus Carter, don't do that" I mumbled while he got into my car.

"You wanna ride with me before I pick up my partner?" He offered.

"Dude I rather walk, I don't want show up on the first day know as the Cop sister." I said getting out of my car.

"You sure?" He offered again.

"I'm positive" giving him a thumbs up. " just get my car fixed, alright nigga?"

After about 10 minutes I made it to school, I was late, but shit at least I made it.

As I walked into the school the halls were still filled, hall monitors and teachers yelled at the students to get to class.

I didn't have that big of a problem finding the main office, because I just simply followed the signs that had pointed in the direction of the office.

"Fuck outta my face nigga" one boy said to another pushing him, knocking him into me, making me fall.

"Hey!" I yelled at both of them, only to be ignored, the boy who got pushed swung back, hitting him directly in his jaw, and that's when the crowd came.

I quickly got up trying to avoid getting trampled over, dropping my phone in the process. I tired to keep track of my phone as people stepped on it and kicked it around.

Teachers tried to break the boys up, but every time they separated them, they somehow got out of the teachers grip, it was only until the security guards came with the pepper spray and then crowd dispersed without them even getting a chance to spray it.

I saw a tall light skinned picking it up and started to walk away with it. Oh hell naw.

"Aye! That's my phone" I yelled at him, following him. I guess he didn't hear me, because he kept walking and considering the fact had headphones in so i sped up closer to him; taping him on his shoulder.

"Yo?" He said turning around, snatching his headphones out if his ears looking a little annoyed.

"My phone?" I demanded with a lot of attitude, holding my hand out.

"Dang no need for the attitude, I was going to turn it into the office anyways baby girl" he replied back smoothly, while placing my phone in the palm of my hand.

"Yeah ok." I said sarcastically, rolling my eye at him as I put my phone in my bag.

"I got my on iPhone baby girl, trust me, I don't need yours" he smirked while hold his new iPhone 5 in my face, I just have him a careless blank stare and brushed passed him and walked towards my locker.

******

"Oh my god, you have to be kidding me, just strike me down now" I mumbled to myself as I walked outside to see my brother patrol car parked outside of the school, waiting for me.

I quickly walked passed his car making sure he didn't see my face, but failed.

"Lonnie!" He yelled extremely loud, attracting even more attention to him.

"I hate him so much" I mumbled to myself and tried to walk even faster. I felt my phone ring in my back pocket.

'Carter'

"What?" I snapped at him when I picked up.

"I just embarrassed yo ass" he chuckled.

"Fuck you" I said before I went to press the end button my phone

"Before you hang up, I doing a late shift so I won't be back until the morning" he spoke quickly.

"Good, anyways did you put my car in the shop?" I asked while stopping to tie my shoe, hold my phone to my ear with my shoulder. Then I felt someone slap my ass.

"Hey asshole! Don't you ever touch me like that" I turned around yelling to at the person who did it, only to see a group of boys laughing behind me, I saw the boy who tried to steal my phone earlier wink at me, I flicked them off and turned back around.

"Lonnie are you listening to me?!' My brother yelled in my ear, getting my attention.

"No, I'm sorry now what did you say?" I asked, shaking my head at their stupidness.

"I'm not repeating it, so long story short, your car isn't any good anymore so I'm gonna junk it, and save up the money to buy you a new one" he said

"Great. Well I'm home now, so I'll talk to you tonight"

"Tomorrow" he corrected.

"Whatever" I said before hanging, before I started to look for the house keys in my bag.

I heard the group of boys break out in laughter making me turn my head in their direction.

"Tell momma I'm be home later and I got her van; to go to the back to school party around the corner" the shortest boy in the group said, to the girl I assumed to be his sister.

"You know she gon be tripping about it kendrick" I heard the girl reply before I walked into the house closing the door behind me.
