Ever since my parents died early this summer, I haven't been the same. What's made it worse is that me and my twin sister had to move up here from New Orleans to live with my aunt.
Man this isn't fair! I thought, Life isn't fair! As I rammed my fist into the wall. Tears swelled up in my eyes as I mourned the deaths of my parents.

Sheila and Martin Reigns were a strong, hardworking black couple who did right. When my mother got pregnant with me and Amara at nineteen, my father did right by her and married her. Both still in college, they still made it work. Even though it was hard and long journey, they both graduated at the top of their class with my mother becoming a nurse and my dad a professional musician. (That's where I got my musical talent from.)

I loved my parents. Now all I have is Amara, music, and basketball. And in that order.

I turned over on my side with tears still streaking my face not looking forward to the second day at this unfamiliar school and city.
