I ran down the old steps of my two bedroom apartment carrying my bookbag. Racing down the street making sure I jumped over puddles trying not to get my shoes wet since it's been raining. It's been four days since my mom went on a business trip.
Being by myself has become a normal thing. I'm very responsible for my age.

I made it to the bus stop just as people were loading on the bus. Stepping on I looked around to find my bestfriend Karla,

She of course was in the back with some dude all up in her face.

Walking through the aisles of the cramped school bus, I managed not to bump in to anyone. For a 18 year old I had a body of a 12 year old. I never been the type to be self conscious but I swear when I get the money I'm upgrading myself.

" Do you have a nigga" The guy asked

" No... Why?" She lied

I made up my face then cleared my throat to catch their attention.

"Oh hey Aaliyah " I looked back and forth between the two.

" um Shawn this is her seat." He got up looking me up and down then licked his lips causing me to roll my eyes.

" My bad, My bad " he repeated as he purposely brushed passed me.

"Karla what was that about?" I questioned "What was what about?"

"You just told this nigga you don't have a boyfriend. Knowing damn well you have a whole husband"

"Now you know I was just playing" "Yeah whatever. Now if Branden find out don't say nothing about him not wanting to be with you"

" Please. Branden does not want to leave me i'm the best thing that has ever happened to him" not wanting to argue, I put my earphones in the rest of the bus ride. As soon as the bus came to a stop i quickly jumped out my seat only to be stopped by people before me. "Hoe wait for me" Karla said behind me tryna get her stuff together.
