Dawn

Chapter 1

Dawn^^^^^ Pov.

My 1st grade teacher once told me that I was the smartest student in her class. I had an A in her class for all 4 nine weeks. They even gave me an award. I was happy.

My mom was too, she took so many pictures and even bought me a new toy. She said I deserved it and to keep up the good work.

I have, but she doesn't take as many pictures as she use to. She doesn't buy me new toys either. Now, whenever I give her my report card, she just nods and doesnt say much.

I think that's because she's tired. She hasn't been getting a lot of sleep much lately with her new job. She use to be a lawyer for some small firm, she did such a good job with arguing. That's why they moved her to a bigger building. She was so happy, so was her boyfriend, Ray.

I don't know much about him. All I know is that, he likes the couch a lot. He sits on it all day. And he stinks.

Sometimes my mom talks to him about getting a job which makes him mad. Really mad.

He makes my mom scared but I'm not afraid of him. He says I'm stupid but my teachers say I'm smart so that's whats really matters.

Others think I'm a little stupid too but I try to pay them no mind. My report card looks better than theirs anyways.

"Dawn." I looked up and saw my teacher staring at me from the board.

"We're you paying attention?"

"Yes ma'am." I answered.

"Okay." She continued with her lesson and I continued writing something in my special notebook.

I usually write song lyrics in here or poems. They're not as good as the ones I read online.

The bell rung and I went to lunch. Us special kids always go to lunch earlier than the other kids, Ms. Tina said it's cause they're not as well behaved as us.

I don't really believe her cause there some kids in my class who act worse than my mom's boyfriend.

"Dawn!" I heard someone call. It was Ms. Tina.

"Ma'am?"

"You need to start paying more attention in my class. I usually have to get your attention everyday just to see if you're listening. "

"Okay." I said and left. I didn't feel like talking to her any longer cause I knew she'd talk more and more and more. Plus, I was hungry and they were serving pizza in the lunch room.

Chris pov.

"Trey, you seen my notebook?" I asked looking through my locker.

"Which one?"

"The one I lost."

"Nigga be specific, you lost several of them." He laughed.

"Shut up." I closed my locker and leaned against it.

"What subject was it for?"

"Math. I got a test today and I need that notebook to study."

"Use mine."

"What math you take?" I asked as he grabbed it from his bookbag.

"Pre- Calc."

"My nigga came in clutch." I got the notebook and scanned the pages.

"You got more notes than me."

"That's cause I actually make an effort to pay attention in class." He said.

"I make an effort."

"How? With yo eyes closed? You sleep almost everyday in there. I'm surprised she hasn't written you up yet or given you detention."

"I be tired. Practice don't end till 8."

"True. Coach be trippin." He agreed. I was about to change the subject until I felt someone tap my shoulder.

It was some girl who's name started with an A. I got her number yesterday along with 5 other girls.

"Hey Chris."

"Wassup Amber."

"It's Autumn. Wanna come over my place tonight?" She asked.

I looked over at Trey and smirked.

"Yeah, just send me yo location and I'll be there."

"Okay. See you then." She walked away as Trey shook his head.

"Really man?"

"What?"

"That's the 4th girl this week." He said.

"I know right. I'm on a roll."

"Whatever man. See you in class though." We did our handshake and went our seperate ways.

Trey been my nigga ever since diapers. My mom was bestfriends with his mom so we spent a lot of time together.

"Mr. Brown." I heard someone call. It was one of my teachers, she such a control freak.

"Yeah?"

"Are you ready for the math test today?"

"Yeah." I said not really wanting to talk to her.

"Good. I have to get going but meet me after class today."

"Ight."

After Class

I went up to her desk and waited until she noticed me.

"Oh, hey Chris. Sit down, we need to talk." I did as told while watching her go through some files.

"Chris, throughout the year, you've maintained an F average. Which is not good."

"Ok.......so wassup?"

"You're not gonna pass this grade if you dont bring this F up. That's what's up." She said.

"So imma fail?"

"Well, yes..unless you take a participation/volunteer class."

"What's that?" I asked.

"A class you larticipate in to earn credits."

"Okay, well I'll sign up for it."

"Already did that for you."she said getting out a sheet of paper.

"You'll be volunteering in the unified p.e class."

"What's that?"

"Special ed class." She said.

"Special ed? Why?"

"Cause they need someone their age to talk to. You only have to work with one student. Other students will be there."

"What if I chose a different class?"

"You can't and I already signed you up. So you'll be starting on Thursday." She said.

"Why I gotta work with them?"

"Why not?"

"Cause, I don't want to."

"Well, it's that or you fail." She said.

Sometimes I hate making the right decision.
