It's another day in this raggedy apartment. Man I can't live like this. I gotta job but that's not gone change anything. My paycheck takes up the bills that my mama doesn't pay. It's to hard for me and my little sister Neveah and I'm only 17 in the 12th grade. Anyways, I'm mixed with Arabian and black. My name is Karina Marie Dale. I go to Montgomery high school. And I really don't have good clothes so imma wear some dirty jeans and I sprayed perfume so they don't smell bad. I put on a regular shirt. Nothing special. I left my hair natural.

"When me and Mony were looking for some seats there wasn't any so we  went over to those two boys.

"Can we sit down?"
