I set down on my drive way holding my basketball , I thought where and the fuck is she? My step mom was supposed to be here to pick me up 42 minutes ago to take me to practice. I sighed I reallly do HATE her , every since my mom passed away from cancer my dad has been all over the dang place. I cant really remember a time he asked me about basketball or about how i felt about this "Step mother" crap. Man forget this i thought ill just find my own damn ride to practice. I pulled out my IPhone 5 and dialed Jaralon number , It rang 4 times before he picked up. He answerd the phone with a rude "WHAT" I replied " Jay can you give me a ride to practice my Step mom is tripping ." He soon replied " Yea , ill be there soon" I said " Okay" He hung up. I put my head down between my legs and waited. 10 minutes lates he pulled up in his 2008 Cadillac CTS, I grabbed my bag and my basketball and hopped in his car. It wasnt long of silence , He reached over and pecked my cheek and I rolled my eyes playfully. I said "Take my to practice" He replied " I am dang". The car took off and I arrived at my High School i jumped out and said my bye and rushed to the gym.

When I got in the gym I walked up to the coach and she looked at me and frowned. Before I could give her my reason why i was late she cut me off and told me I couldnt play in tomorrow game. I got frustrated and yelled " What! Coach please ! I NOO!" She replied " HAVE A SEAT ON THE BENCH". Fuck not this , I sat on the bench and crossed my arms. I sat like this the whole practice.When practice ended i didnt bother to stay for our meeting. I just walked all the way back home. Which was a 42 minute walk. I got home , walked straight pass my dad and step mom and ran up to my room and kicked off my shoes and flopped on my bed. i pulled out my phone and called my best friend Ericka. She answerd right away and said " House of beauty this is cutie" I repiled " Hi ugly" It wasnt long before we taled about our troubles . I started telling her what happen today and why I was so upset. She understood everything, see shes like the other half of me when shes not talking about guys. You see , she likes those "Thugs" thats why she probably quit basketball because shes trying to talk to some guy named Trey and all he do is take up most of her time. I ended the conversation and said Night. I fell asleep .

The next morning I woke up to my kik getting blown up in this group conversation with my homies ( Jaralon , Faith ,Jenna , Kayla , Akeem , Kennedy ) I replied to them OMG SHUTUP . About a minute later Kennedy said Get out and Akeem then added on with saying "withco Thot ass" I cracked a smile thinking about how stupid they are. I got up and toke a shower and got ready for school. When I got to school I rushed to my locker before it got full . I was putting my things away and grabbing my books for my next class when Akeem walked up and bumped me on purpose. He laughed and I rolled my eyes I said " oh no it's crazy eyes" ( I said that because he always looking at people like they crazy). He told me to hush and he gave me a light hug before walking away. I finished up with my locker and turned around to see my ex hugged up on some girl . I thought in my head "Never a failure always a lesson" thanks Rihanna. I brushed it off and began walking down the hall to the restroom. I walked in the restroom and put my backpack on the floor and fixing my hair , I look in my reflection and frowned when I saw some poor girl crying coming out . I knew her..... It was kayden . I didn't even think I just reacted I hugged her and asked what's wrong
