Night Skylines

Chapter 1

Today is gonna suck ass. It's my first day at my new school for like the 5th time in 5 years. My name is CJ, short for Chuck Junior. Im average build, 5'8, low cut with waves. smooth mahogany skin, not muscular at all. Just an average black kid you feel me? I like weird not thought to be black shit such as: anime, house music, and I can't play basketball or rap. I read alot, and work on computers in my spare time. As you've probably guessed i get tons of action from the ladies. Nah, I've never had a girlfriend, no kisses, barely a hug. It's my senior year. I'm doomed to be lonely forever. This year is Seattle. My mom vows that this year will be better than last year in Denver, which she vowed would be better than Los Angeles, which she vowed would be better than Atlanta, which she vowed would be better than Charlotte. I'm over it at this point I'm ready to graduate and ascend to college. My mom is such a mess. I love her but she's on honorable discharge from the army, she's single, and has been on the run from my dad for 5 years. Every year he finds us and she takes off and leaves. I keep telling her just file a restraining order but she doesn't listen. She'd rather run than admit defeat.

I walked into the state of the art building which happened to be my school. There was new everything. The walls looked clean, lockers were shinning, and thousands of new faces crowded my brain. This school seemed to be pretty evenly mixed between black and white as far as i could tell. I pulled out my schedule to see where I was headed. Organic Chemistry. That sounds like a lot of fun I thought to myself sarcastically. I began to walk to my class but i decided to go to the bathroom first to get my nerves a break before I dove head first into a new year. When I finally made it to the bathroom I was walking to the men's door past the women's door when suddenly wood was in my face. The door swung open and knocked me off my feet. "Get out of the way Bitch" said the person who opened the door as I lay on my back dazed and confused. It looked to be the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. A black girl. Long black hair, red lips, skinny to the point that she was almost anorexic looking, Atleast 6'1, with as least amount of clothes as she could possibly get away with not wearing on. Aside from her sickly skinniness she was gorgeous. I had already forgotten that she called me a bitch, or that I peed on myself when i hit the floor. She walked with a mysterious confidence, but I found myself soon pushing her to the back of my head. I don't ever talk to girls, especially girls that look like her.

So on my first day I had been called a bitch and peed on myself and I hadn't even made it to first period yet. I being the pessimist that i am always have a change of clothes with me, so I went and changed my pants and proceeded to go to first period. Class was super boring. All my classes were.

It was now my most dreaded part of the day: Lunch. I grabbed a tray and sat at a table by myself peacefully eating my lunch. I was enjoying the Kaytranada blasting through my headphones when I noticed someone i front of me. It was the girl who had hit me with the door. "Hi I just wanted to say" "that you're sorry for hitting me with the door" I interjected "the fuck, nigga no. I just wanted to introduce myself. Im Lexi." The girl said as she reached out her hand. My mind was blown. Not because she was totally just so rude to me but because she introduced herself to me. I reached out and shook her hand. "May I sit?" she asked. "Yeah sure, sit wherever you want" I said so fast scrambling my words. "So do you have a name kid?" she asked. "CJ" I responded. "Well CJ what are you a Sophomore?" "Nah I'm a senior" I responded. "Oh okay cool me too. Hey do you need a ride? I saw that you live in my neighborhood and thats kind of a long walk." "Oh my god that would be so dope" I told her. "Okay its a date then" she responded and got up and left. A date? she used the word date. Was it a ride home or was it more? What ever it was. It interested me.

School was over and I found Lexi and got in her car. Migos blared out of her speakers when she cut the car on. "How was your first day son?" she asked as she pulled out of the student parking lot. "Other than meeting you I have to say I hated it" I responded chuckling from nervousness. "I hate my personal finance class" my teacher has a speech impediment and that shit bugs me" I said laughing. " Oh you mean Miss's Cambridge? Yeah she twalks like thwis" Lexi said almost dying. It just occurred to me that Lexi was not going near my neighborhood at all. "Yo Lexi I thought you said you lived in my neighborhood?" "I lie sometimes" she responded. "I figure you'd enjoy doing homework with someone than being all by yourself." "It's the first day Lexi." "Who the fuck cares CJ? Don't you wanna hang out with a pretty girl? I'll just take you home then." Lexi says as she pulls a random u turn. "WOAH WOAH chill girl" you say laughing. "Nah we can go do homework. I'd like that you tell her." "Thats what the fuck I thought" Lexi says.

Lexi's house was big af. "where are your parents?" You ask her. "My mom works 14 hours out of the day. And my dad well that's a good question. Where is he? I've never seen him before." Lexi says pretending to be in deep thought. She goes into the kitchen and brings out a bottle of vodka. She pours six shots and calls me over there to her. "You get 3 I get 3" she says. "What the fuck happened to homework" I asked her, concerned. "Its the first day biiiitch right?" She says as she down her first shot. "Take one CJ" she urges. I grab the glass and throw it to the back of my throat and instantly die. I start coughing and I feel like im going to throw up. Lexi unconcerned says "take a hit of this and passes you a bowl full of weed." "where the fuck did this come from" I asked her momentarily taking a break from dying. "Just hit the shit" she responded . I was already in too deep. I grabbed the bowl and lighter from her and decided to take a hit. I was now officially dead. I knew i was gonna die. That shit hurt. "I don't feel good Lexi, do you have any aspirin?" I asked her. "No but I got 2 xanax's" she said shoving them in my mouth.

20 minutes later I was laughing at my hands. Lexi was seemingly gone too. "Why are people so shitty CJ" She asked randomly. I looked at her and we simultaneously burst out laughing. "Come hold me CJ" she says in low tone. That statement made me stop laughing immediately. I started walking to her well stumbling and she says "no lets go to the bedroom" We made it to the bedroom where we cuddled. And soon i drifted off to sleep with the most beautiful girl in my arms.

I woke up to a note that read: Sorry I had to go home my mom is about to get off. BTW I don't live in this house, The door was open when we rode by and I know the people that live here. They're not home. They will be soon though. You should probably get going. I had fun with you today even though you're lame as fuck. Also I took all your clothes but your underwear to make this fun for you. I also took your book bag. I did leave you your cellphone though. I put my number in it. Kisses- Lexi.
