CHAPTER 2

Tynia

My name is Tynia Kamyah Crawford, and I am 18 years old. I am senior at M.L.K high school. I have a sister named LaNyiah Marie Crawford who is better known as Nae. She is 20 going on 21 I am kinda jealous because she is going to be legal soon and will be able to experience the more fun things in life up in college while I am stuck here living life as a high schooler... Sike naw I'm just fucking around, ha ha ha... I love my big sis because she takes care of me the best way she can and its not by choice, its due to the circumstances of our parents being murdered 6 months ago.

I don't know all the details because Nae don't want me to worry my pretty little head about adult issues, although we not really that far apart age wise, just to keep my big sis happy I won't speak on it... For now..... But trust, she gonna have to talk to me about it eventually.

As for my weight well a lady never likes to kiss and tell but if it will put y'alls mind at ease, I am what you would call a pleasantly plump lil shorty. I am thick in the waist pretty in the face trust and believe everything is in the right place, wink wink lol.

I have Brown eyes brown hair that comes past my shoulder and stops at the small of my back yet I tend to change it up from time to time by adding hair extensions or dying it I also wear contacts whenever I feel the need to be different.

I'm still sweet because I am still a virgin, and to be honest I really ain't got time for sex right now. Sex is actually the farthest thing from my mind. School is my number 1 priority our parents instilled into us that education is everything and its the key to making it in life.

Overall I guess you can say I am just a pretty chill type of chick. I have often. Been told that I am somewhat of a social butterfly, and some may say I tend to have no filter, but I just say what's on my mind and I won't sugar code shit, I just like to keep it 100. It's just the way that I am set up.

I'm hearing my sister alarm going off, so I guess it's time for me to head out. Ya girl can't be late for school because this is my final year and I want my transcripts to show that ya girl is never tardy, ya dig .... deuces.

I grab my book bag and make sure I got everything that I need for school and head downstairs as I am going into the kitchen I hug my sis as she kisses me on my forehead then says

" We got a dinner date later." as I smile and say,

" Ok." As she continues her way out the door, I grab me a grape pop tart and a small Sunny D and put them inside my book bag then head out the door as I lock up then put my earbuds in my ears and walk to school.

My school is just around the corner and a couple blocks away. As I enter school I am bum rushed by my boyfriend Eli, and my best friend Saphire.

Me and Eli have been dating since my parents died 6 months ago And me and Saph been friends since like grade school.

Eli is the reason I have been holding up so well, he's my rock, my heart, my shoulder to cry on through tough situations and he helps me to stand strong when I feel as though I can't stand on my own.

My best friend Saphire is the one who introduced us and we three are always together we are like the three musketeers.

" Hey babe, why you ain't call me last night?" said Eli as he wrapped his arms around my waist and put his face in my neck.

" My bad baby, I had to study for that biology exam we having today. You know Ion play when it comes to my grades." Nia replied

" My bitch always got her head in them books." said Saph.
