The Beautiful Struggle

Chapter Six

time here at this house was cool. believe it or not it wasn't that bad. I did lose a few pounds tho. with this fool being organic and what not. I didn't have a taste of a burger in a minute!

the only bad part about everything was that I had to sleep on the floor of Nash's daughter room. don't get me wrong I did love that little girl. she was like a little sis. but her room smelled so much like piss that I would wake up with my nose burning.

then finally my birthday came. and my gift from my mom was enrolling me in school. awesome gift huh? -____-

but on the good side redondo Union High School. was were my life began to change.

it was February 5 the day after my birthday me and my mom walked down to the school since it was walking distance.

as we came on the campus it was so much people I almost freaked out. there was so much whites And Mexicans I was shocked to see the blacks. there was so many good looking niggas too. even the teachers looked good. I couldn't wait to go to this school.

"you like it" my mom said as we started walking back to the house.

"yeah its straight. I seen a lot of people looking at me like who's that?. don't know if that's good or bad. I said starting to feel nervous.

"you'll be fine don't worry" she said giving me a hug.

"thanks ma. can we go to the beach now?"

"sure let's go"

we stayed for a couple hours till it started getting cold. then we headed back to the house

****First day of school****

first day of school. my hair was on point! my mom did take her time and money to make sure I was looking fly. I had on fresh pair of yellow and green Nike high tops. tight fitting skinny blue jeans. with a yellow tight sweater with the Roca wear loco on the back in green. I was looking so cute!!

all my classes went basically like this...

got in all eyes was on me. people started whispering but IDGAF. I was feeling myself. the end. :)

at lunch I ate by myself in the bathroom stall. only because when I walked in the cafeteria all the girls looked at me like bitch don't come this way.

I couldn't wait to get home.

once the last period was over I ran out of class trying to make my way to the house quickly as possible.

as I turned the corner to the parking lot I ran into this tall black guy. I've never been that close to a guy before so I quickly put my head down as I said sorry. then tried to walk away only to have him grab my arm and turn me back around.

"yo I'm sorry bout that." he said with a smile on his face.

"oh its cool it was my fault anyways. I wasn't paying attention" I said back shyly.

"what's your name? I never seen you around here before."

"oh im kiara." I didn't know what to say I was still shock that he was still talking to me. I mean he was fly tho. polo geek swag up and down. curly hair. and the cutest smile I've ever seen.

"Kiara? hmm that's different I'm daveon. or D for short."

"oh that's wassup. well I should get going. I don't want to keep my mom waiting. nice meeting you D." I said as I was walking away.

he looked like he wanted to stop me but he didn't. just said "iight Kiara I'll just see yourr tomorrow"

"yeah see ya!"

I started walking even faster trying not to let him see me blushing. he was the first boy that seem interested in me. I had to tell my mom about this!

****15 mins later****

"lucky I'm home!" I sung thru the door.

"well you seem happy. how was it."

"it was iight class was whatever and people we nice I guess. but I did meet a boy name D. omg he's so cute. like now sexy cute more like adorable cute. but we bumped into each other and started talking!" as this point I could feel my face turning red.

"hmm that sounds nice but slow it down little girl. you just started. focus on school first then these ugly little boys!" she said chewing on her nail. (which was weird to me cause I never seen her do that).

"do you understand me?!" she said snapping me out of my thought. "yeah I got you!"...I said rolling my eyes. like yeah boo you got some nerves.

"but what's wrong with you tho?" I asked her

"nothing why?"

I grabbed her finger and pointed to her nails. "when did you start this trend?" I asked sarcastically.

she looked at me. then took a deep breath and slowly said,

"I don't wanna be here anymore..."
