"Hey" a boy name Melvin said.

"hi!" I said.

Ok basically me and Melvin go wayyy back. We went out in 8th grade but now were super close. He's the one i tell everything to when me and Ashley are in our fights.

"Yooo you going to Kendra baby shower?. Mostly the whole school going" he said

"i guess" I said

"Alright see you there bestfriend" Mel said.

I slammed my locker and headed to algebra. Thank god its Friday.

Later....

I was just on instagram and chilling on my bed. I was trying to fix my Iphone charger which went off and on.

I then got a call from a block number. I ignored it, it was probably Ashley playing a prank on me. But it kept ringing. Then i got a text message saying:

"I know you see my calls, i will find you.

lol this girl crazy. I decided i'll go to Ashley house since I'm bored. I got up left my phone on that stupid charger and went to take a shower.

I got out put on some grey sweat pants a black t-shirt with my Jordan slides.

I pull my phone off the charger and headed downstairs.

"Where you going missy" grand mama ask.

"ohh just to Ashley house for the night".

"Ok be safe byee" she said.

"byee i said closing the door.

I started walking to the bus stop. I payed for the fee and found a seat in the back. I text Ashley Im coming.

I lean my head against the window. Soon sleep took over me.

Last stop i heard a man voice say.

Damnit. I turned around to see i was last the on the bus.

"Last stop missy" the bus driver said.

Ok, ok. I got off the bus. I checked the time 1:57. I look around to see where i was. I was on the south side.

this is just great. I'm on the south side of Harlem.

I tried to call Ashley

*no answer.

I tried to text her

*no answer. My phone buzz. I looked and my battery was at 10%. Damnit i hate that charger.

I started walking to the 24hr Corner Store.

I got an Arizona, sour cream and onion chips (my FAV chips) and a Jamacian patty. As i was making my way towards the cash register i saw a young man with his head low just walking around.

I payed for my stuff and headed out quickly. I turned around to see the guy pulling out the gun and shooting the cashier in the head.

OMGE! i ran as fast as my legs could carry. I glance back to see the guy chasing me. I decided to hide in the big garbage behind the pizza point.

"Where are you Mariah" The guy said.

How in tf he knows my name.

He started to shoot at everything. I know because i saw through the tiny peep hole. He had on a ski mask.
