[2:15 am]
A piercing scream in my ear woke me up in the middle of the night. I shot up from my bed, and Kamyra was right there crying. The people in the room slowly woke up, hushing her, and cussing under their breathe. I held Kamyra in my arms tight, close to my chest as i tried rocking her back to sleep. This has been the 5th night in a row she’s done this, not counting how before shse goes to bed she wails for her mom. I wonder whats wrong with her
Laneya: Shh, its okay...
Kamyra held the bear close to her, and held onto my hand. I used to hold onto La’Kia’s hand when i tried falling asleep too. That’s crazy. After soothing her for another 10 minutes, her crying went down, and she fell asleep. With that, i did too. Tomorrow is my first day back to school. I stopped going for a while, because i got the job at Foot Locker. But the manager convinced me to go back to school. If i did, she said she would double my pay and change my hours. How could i say no? But then Kamyra came up, and she even agreed to watch her. All i had to do was bring her to her house, and she’d give me a ride to school. Soon, i’d have enough money to buy me & Kamyra some more clothes, and food so we didnt have to eat this garbage
[5:30 am]
i woke myself up, along with Kamyra, grabbin all our stuff and heading to the showers. She was hella cranky, but hey... I gotta do this
Kamyra: Im sleepy!
Lanyea: I know, but we gotta go bye bye.
She groaned, and i showered the both of us. I need to get some hair bows for her. She has gorgeous hair, that would look cute with some bows. After we was done, i waited at the bus stop with Kamyra at my hip. People passing looked at me in disgust. I returned the look, and held her closer to me. I still had 15 minutes until the bus came, so i went across the street & into Newtowne Variety, buying donuts & apple juice for us. Kamyra’s face lit up as i gave it to her, as we headed back out. The bus ended up coming 5 minutes early, which is better for me. I payed the bus, and walked to the back. I heard a lady comment “A baby with a baby... Aint that a shame?” I hate people that jump to conclusions, and just assume shit! I hate people in general, to be exact. Im sort of a hard cookie, and i dont let nobody’s words get to me. I dont believe in loving anyone anymore, either, with exceptions of Kamyra. Because the ones that i have ever loved, is now gone. And yeah, im talking about my grandma and sister. That’s why i keep Kamyra with me at all times since she came. I dont want to loose her. She’s really all i have, and just too young to understand that. Dont even get me started on boys. Their all pigs. And that’s all im saying about them. The bus finally came to a stop in Central square, and i walked over to Pearl St. Finally, i found the house, and rang the bell
Angie: Hey Laneya, good morning
Laneya: Good morning
Angie: And good morning, Ms. Kamyra!
Kamyra: Morning, Ms. Angie!
I smiled, and Angie let us in the house
Angie: So school starts at 8:00, and ends at 2:10.
Laneya: I could work with those hours...
Angie: Good. I see so much potential in you, but you just downgrade yourself
Laneya: I know... I just been through so much. Life is hard
Angie: I remember when you first walked into my store. I knew i had to hire you. You seemed like you been through a lot
Laneya: Yeah...
She is so nice,which is what i like about her. Angie’s only 23, too. I just havent told her about where i live. Im ashamed to say that i live in a homeless shelter
[7:55]
I opened the glossy doors of Cambridge Rindge and Latin. The familiar smell came back, and i rolled my eyes. I hate school. With a passion. And the people in it. I walked down the halls, looking for my locker. It hasnt even been 10 minutes of me walking in, and boys started whistling at me. I cut my eyes, and continued walking. They can all lick my a_s crack. I aint here for them, shit
