Haniah P.O.V.

I woke up with a banging headache as I slowly rose from my mattress that was taped to the floor with a thin brown cover that I was wrapped in. I threw it back on my mattress then headed to the partially small bathroom. It included a circle bathtub, square shower, small filthy counter with a sink, square fair sized mirror, and a dirty toilet . You may think the counter and toilet was trashed with dirt and hair, but its with cocaine and weed. Although I live with crackheads, they seem to waste most of it . Anyways I brushed away the image and did my hygiene without looking in the mirror.
My "ma dukes" always says that I'm a "worthless , ugly , pitiful, embarrassing animal that will break the mirror !" She's said that so many times that I believe her.

I came out with my towel perfectly wrapped around my small body. I'm 5'5 1/2 , light skinned , medium thick straight sandy red hair, brown eyes , pink plump lips , a dimple on my left cheek and I wear a size 7.5. I walked over to my dresser and arranged me a fit. I chose a blue crop top , high waisted denim ripped skinny jeans & Gama Blues . I might not have the best house or the prettiest face , but I love to dress . My uncle gives me $500 a month because he knows what I go through, but my ma dukes doesn't know. I use that money and walk to the mall to buy me stuff which is right around the corner.

I put in my earrings and put my hair in a ball. I grabbed my bag and headed into the living room. It was small with an old tv and ripped couch . The carpet was dirty and it reeked of alcohol and smoke. I didn't bother going into the kitchen because there wasn't any food . I walked out of the house and went across the street to Marrisa's house. Before I knocked on the door she had already opened it and greeted me with a smile.

"Girl who you tryna pull ?" She eyed me making me bust out laughing.

"Princeton , Jacob , maybe Diggy . " I counted on my fingers as she unlocked her blue Mercedes and we got in it.

"You just might pull them." She winked at me and made me blush. I plugged up my ipod to the radio and played Yayo. We were turning tf up it was live ! In 5 minutes we were pulling up at the school. Everybody was cuddled up with their boo , wish i was pretty enough to have one. I brushed off the loneliness as Marissa parked her car. We got out and did a check.

"You're beautiful Marissa stop looking in the mirror so much."

"I will when you stop being insecure about yourself!" She told me putting the mirror away . Just then Deontae, her boyfriend since 7th grade, came up, kissed and greeted her. Im not going to lie I was slick jealous, but they were a cute couple. He told me hey and I replied with a smile. I let them be and headed up the steps of Shiloh High School. Here Goes Another Day.
