Oh gosh this dude is tall as heck!

I was cut out of my thoughts as tall guy starts coming closer at full speed doing some type of handshake with Don.

I stared at the both of them being goofy as people walked past them, minding their own business.

This must be donnies' bestfriend , I thought as Donnie returned his hand to mine and we continued walking to the buses with Nessa beside me. Then Nessa discreetly whispered to me.

"Who is that tall guy walking with us?"

"I think he's donnies' best friend" , I replied thinking, at the same time, that this boy just got a new nickname.

We made it outside in once piece, all of us standing under the maple tree. Tall guy was asking way too many questions about me to be honest , even if it was just one.

"So Don, who is the girl your hand is attached to?" , I inwardly face palmed as Donnie just chuckled and replied.

"This is Janell" , I couldn't stop staring at the smile Donnie had on his face.

"Hi, uhm this is my bestfriend Vanessa" ,I had voiced to ensure I wasn't the only one in this convo. If I was caught in the hot seat, well Nessa was going to get burned with me.

He looked at Vanessa from head to toe before replying

"She's just so short." , then Donnie joined in as well.

"Yeah, she's like a little gnome size." Then they both began laughing.

"Guys stop teasing her, it's not nice. " I defended Nessa because I knew she hated when people would judge her height.

"Ok, I'm out" , I watched as Nessa started to walk away and ran after her.

"Don't let them get in your head, their just being one of them." , I tried to get Nessa calmed down.

"I don't care, it's good", I stared at Nessa once she said that. I can feel a change coming.

Getting home, my mom had waited to give me some information.

"Nella, your father said that your grandma wanted you to write her a letter."

Instantly groaned and jumped, face first, on the couch.

"Nella stop playing around, I need you to write it by tomorrow so it can get sent out."

"Mama, I don't want to write her."

"Well then call her on the phone then."

"Ugh, mom you know I don't like talking on the phone."

"Well, then I guess you're out of luck, because if you don't write her then she'll visit or vice- versa."

I stumped my way up to my room and face planted on the bed.

Nobody understands how much I literally don't want to be near my grandma. I can't say that I don't love her but my immediate family matters way more.

I remember that day in summer when she made my sister cry. Kianna is one person that rarely cries and I know that she was hurt, even at my young age. For grandma to not even acknowledge Kianna as her granddaughter just because my mom had her before she met my dad. Everyone saw that my sister only got things when I got things because it was fair.

My grandmother even disowns my mom for having a child before marriage and it disgusts me. If you don't like my mom or sister, then the "Love" that I'm given is just as fake. I share the same qualities as them, so where would I even fit in this situation.

Unlike my paternal grandparents, my family has always supported me on my career choices I've had. Though at first many ideas were brought down from my grandma saying they were "Dead end jobs, with no money". Like being a hairstylist or artist, it honestly broke my heart to be denied my passions.

My mom and sister are my world. I wouldn't know what to do without them in my life, and if I had to choose between them or grandma. The choice would always be my mother and sister.

Ok so this was a short chapter and more of a filler.
I wanted to give more insight into Janell's family, giving a 360 tour.

Tell me your thoughts, whatcha think?
