Dark Nights

"Arianna Marie Jones if you don't get up right now you're gonna be late for school now come on!" Mrs. Jones yelled outside of Ari's door. "I'm uuupp ma just chill out".

Arianna got out her bed and headed to her closet. She brought out her blue ripped jeans and her swamp green crop top along with same color jacket. She rushed to the her bathroom until she heard her phone ringing. "Ughhhh it's too early for folks to be calling me"

Arianna : Man who is this and why are you calling me this early?

Isaiah : Dang you ain't save your own boyfriend number? And it's 8:00, I'm outside.

Arianna : sorry baby I didn't look at the name, just give me a little more time, I just woke up.

Isaiah : bet, just hurry up.

I can't believe it's already 8:00, If I get another tardy from school I get dentition after,  which mean I miss basketball practice, which means I can't play, and I have to play. "I really gotta start setting my alarm"

I rushed down stairs kissed my mom on the cheek and headed for the door. " uh Ariana jones?" I already knew my mom was finna start.

"ma'am?" I already knew what she was gonna say but I still didn't say anything.

"How many times have I told you that as long as you're living under my roof you will cover up". There she go buggin🙄.

"Ma I am covered up tho".
"You're clearly not with your stomach showing like that".

I always hated when my mom made me change but I was already late for school and I didn't have time.

"Look ma if I zipped up my jacket would that help? I mean I'm already late for school so I can't change". My mom looked at me with a annoyed look.

"Zip up your jacket and head on out, I love you". 

"I love you too"

I rushed to Isaiah's car to see him smoking a blunt. "Really Izzy? You know I don't like you smoking"  He quickly put the blunt away and started the car. "My bad babygirl".

We pulled up to school and I was already 20 minutes late. As soon as i was about to walk into class I heard someone call my name. "Jones!"

Dannng man. Coach Mitchell. " look I promise I'll make up all my work and even go to tutoring if I have to just please let me play next game" I was nearly begging on my knees to play.

"I have already given you too many chances Ms.Jones. Go ahead and sit out next game and get your work done.

I can't believe this. I've been waiting all year to play this team and I cant. I have to get my grades up by next week. I just have to.

I couldn't focus at all at school today. I've never missed a game before and basketball is like my passion. I decided to go straight home and do homework instead of going to Izzy's house.

As I was finishing up I had got a text from Izzy.

Isaiah: aye baby there's a party tonight at Drew's  house wanna go?

Arianna: I have to study for that Spanish test tomorrow so idk.

Isaiah: we won't be there long I promise.

I already knew that even if I wanted to go I still had to ask my mom. I ran downstairs and started helping my mom cook.

"What are you doing? My mom always knows I want something when I help her without her asking.

"I can't just help my lovely mother cook?" I started to laugh but I was really trying to be serious.

"No you can't, so what do you want Ari". I hate the fact that she never thinks I want to just help her.

"Fine, I wanted to know if I can go to a party at Drew's house tonight, I won't even be there long".

"No Ma'am.

I never like to argue with my mom so no was a no. I didn't even wanna go to the party tbh so it was fine with me. I went back upstairs and checked my phone.

Isaiah: can you go or nah?

Arianna: I wish I could but I have a lot of work to do plus my ma said no...

Isaiah: Have you ever snuck out before?

Arianna: no why...

Isaiah: keep your window open, I'll be there at 11.

I hate when Izzy doesn't listen to me. No way was he gonna get me to sneak out the house. I live in a black household.
