It's weird walking around the hallway and seeing everyone boo'ed up. It's not like I was jealous or nothin', its just weird. I had never known the feeling of being in love with someone or whatever you want to call it. I mean yeah I'm cute duh, and every niggas at Westville High wanted me at some point, but I've never had the urge to even play their little games.
Maybe I wasn't cuffed because they thought I was mean or stuck up. I really don't give a fuck what anybody has to think about me.
Ok maybe I am coming off a bit too harsh, Let me start over
Being a 17 year old is hard enough. But trying to navigate through finding myself and being in a relationship is a whole other story. I was fine until I met Delwan.
Maybe it's just me I don't know but I didn't really mind being single. But you're probably thinking 'if she don't care then why tf she keep explaining herself'. Well because currently as you can tell I am in a little pickle all because of me not being single. Well just let me start from the beginning so you can understand why I am so torn.
8 months earlier
"MARIIIAAAAAAAA" I jolted up from my beautiful slumber to the sound of my mother's loud ass voice.
"MARIIIIIAAAA!! IT'S TIME FOR SCHOOL"
"I don't understand why she does this every morning" I say to myself as I roll out of bed. I grab my shower cap and my towel and practically drag myself into the bathroom. As I start to turn the shower on my big brother knocks on the door frantically.
"Maria pleasseee let me in! I have to pee so bad" my brother yells
"Hell nah, you better find another bathroom, I'm about to get in the shower"
"Maria please I gotta piss so bad and dad is in my fucking bathroom bro" I laughed cynically as I turn on the shower and slide the glass shower door close. I swear my family does the most in the morning. As I finish showering I do my whole morning routine and I step out of the bathroom to the smell of bacon down stairs. I guess you could say life is pretty good.
I throw on my little first day of school fit that I've been planning for like a week now, and I hop downstairs.
"Hola mama" I give my mom a kiss on the cheek and sit down and make myself a plate of food
"Buenos Dias mija, you took forever to get ready lil girl" I smile as I finish my cup of orange juice
"I don't think I took that long" I say with a laugh, "Dad and Marco are taking like 100 years to come down here, AND IF MARCO DOESN'T HURRY UP I'M GONNA TAKE THE CAR AND HE CAN WALK" As I yell I can hear his big ass foot steps race down the stairs
"You're not leaving nobody Maria. you think you grown cause you a junior now?" my brother says in a out of breathe voice. I stick my tongue out at him and mock him
"MARCUSSS GET DOWN HERE BEFORE YOUR FOOD GETS COLD" my mom yells for my dad in her loud Latina accent. My dad is black and my mom is Latina, so that causes for a very loud house.
"Good morning pops" my brother says to my dad
"Hey yall, good morning beautiful" my dad says to our mother
"Annnd that's our que to leave, ok bye mom bye dad love you" Me and Marco say our goodbyes as we retreat out the door. I feel my phone buzz as I lock the door.
"Hello" I say into the phone
"GIRL TURN AROUND" I know exactly who's voice that is, so as soon as I turn around I'm ecstatic to see my best friend Elizabeth.
"SIS IS THAT YOUR CAR?" I yell with excitement as I see her shiny red Jeep, not even knowing this bitch even passed her drivers test after failing almost 5 times
"YES GIRL! ARE YOU PROUD OF ME" I wasn't sure if I was proud or scared, she really doesn't need her license with her nondriving ass
"PERIOD!!!! but for real who the fuck gave you your license. Them niggas need to be fired." We both laugh as we walk to her car.
Knowing good and damn well she shouldn't even be touching a go kart, she tosses the keys to me because she knew I wasn't even gonna get in the car with her if she was driving.
"Ok so are you not coming with me or, like whats going on" I hear Marco say from the driveway
"oh yeah I forgot about you, yeah go ahead and leave without me" I say
"Hey Marcooo" Elizabeth says to my brother
"elizabeth" I whined
"hey Elizabeth, where you been witcho fine ass" Marco says back
"ya know I've been here and there, you know you can't keep me tied down to one place baby boy" I slap my forehead, ready to pull off on them
"This is why we can never be together liz" Marco says back
"Its not my fault that you a broke ass nig-" I cut her off
"GIRL C'MON we gonna be late to school" I pull her in the car "I don't even know why you mess with my goofy ass brother"
"Cause his dick game is like on point. It's ridiculous" she smiles at me knowing that I'm not even gonna put up with her mess anymore, even though I always do.
As I pull off, a car full of black boys pulls into the house down the street from mine. I look over and see some fine ass boys hop out. As I stare intensely at all them I hear Elizabeth yell
"Maria, Jesus could you watch the road, damn!" She yells, "always talking about how I can't drive, bitch you can't drive"
I should've known right then that those boys would tear my life apart.
Ok so that was just to give you a feel for Maria and Marco's home life, and to introduce Elizabeth, and to also put a little excitement in ya spirits because of that little first part lol, ok I'm gonna go do something else now. PLEASE COMMENT FAV AND TELL ALL YA FRIENDS ABOUT 'DOWN FOR THE RIDE'
