The day begins with Elizabeth, or Liz for short, coming in and opening my black curtains, "Rise and shine bitch!!" She chimes. I groan and put my pillow over my head, "Maria, get the fuck up before I poor water on you."
I peek from under the pillow, "You wouldn't dare," I croak, my throat was dry. "Yes sweetie, I would. Sounds like you need water anyways, so I'll just go-" I cut her off, "Oh my lord I'm up!! Damn woman you never quit, you're so tenacious." She smiles sweetly and heads downstairs into the kitchen.
I go into the bathroom and take a look at my curly mess of hair and cringe. I shower up and just let my hair dry naturally, normally I would do something with it but we were going to morning classes today and I'm not one to do my hair very well while I'm still tired and besides it looks very curly when it dries naturally I like it.
Liz and I, Maria attend university of California here in Los Angeles, but We live in west Compton. So we have to get up 2 hours before class starts which is at 9. Liz and I had been friends since middle school and eventually we moved in together now we attend UCLA together, awesome right? Well maybe for her, not for me. I hated going because you think bullying would end in high school right? Wrong.
Especially when there's so many fucking frats and sororities, we'd rather deal with living in what those girls call the "slums" rather than hearing some annoying pop song playing at 3 in the morning from the dorm next door. Fuck. That. We finish breakfast and whatever else we need to do and head to the bus station, as were walking we hear shouts and gun shots and there was a louder gun shot, "SHUT IT," snapped a loud voice. I recognized that voice, it was Taylor's.
She was from east Compton and she was a blood, she also goes to UCLA with us. And I'm also in love with her. Ever since she got dared to kiss me in 7th grade I liked her but it was nothing more after that because she ended up with that bimbo bitch Jessica, I was pretty sure she liked me though. Now she's with Veronica and she's gorgeous, had long dark hair to her mid back, flawless curves, and tall and I hated her with a passion. While she was all sexy I was short, and my hair was very curly and short. I had good curves but they weren't as gorgeous as hers, no wonder Taylor picked her.
Luckily my inner turmoil helped me escape the fact we escaped a shoot out and were now on the bus heading to UCLA. "Swear she's so violent, but sexy. Man imagine having her as your girlfriend Maria." Liz gushes from beside me. I roll my eyes. "As if she would ever notice a girl like me," I sigh. I fall asleep the rest of the ride and when I wake up were here at the bus stop across from UCLA. We get off and walk onto campus and I see Taylor, Veronica and 2 other bloods, but those were Veronica's friends because Taylor didn't like them.
I'm surprised she was still standing there, she all of a sudden makes eye contact with me and I freeze up. Fuck. She winks at me and looks away and I'm stunned, "Hello!!!!!" I hear shouting. Liz is snapping her fingers in my face, "We're gonna be late and those dumb twats are gonna come fuck with us, hurry up foo." Yeah she looked like an angel but nope living in the hood had taken its toll on both of us though I'm more shy.
I begin to walk with her to class and I bump into someone, thus causing my books to go everywhere. Great. Oh and what was even more great is that the person was Taylor. "Shit, sorry." She says glancing at me and Veronica rolls her eyes and they walk away. I mentally smack her in my head. We finally run into class at the last minute and frantically go to our seats, luckily professor kade didn't notice, and class drags by.
I try to remember that it's about to be spring break so I should be excited right? Just nervous about the tests that's all, then I'm supposed to get a letter from my mother because she's not well I also am going to visit her, so hopefully the week goes by fast. My mom had liver cancer, just like my grandma did, and my great grandma, and before that. It runs in the family but I doubt I'll get it, I'm quite healthy. Class goes on by and I stare at the clock awaiting my spring break to arrive.
