I wake up in the morning and stretch my muscles. I had a relaxing sleep with no nightmares. I turn over and De'Quan isn't there. I look around the room and no lights are on.

I go into the living room and dining room. I don't see him anywhere. I see a note on the door.

"I had to go. See you later."  It's signed by him. He wouldn't just leave. It was important so I drop it. I run back to my room and find an outfit.

I decide to go with a black skirt with a red zip up crop top. I put on a pair of red wedges along with a black leather jacket. I apply red lipstick and do black winged eyeliner. I put my hair into a ponytail. I look in the mirror and smile.

I grab my keys and walk outside. Today I wanted to ride my motorcycle, so I hop on and take off down the road.

I arrive at the diner and get off. I go inside and take a table for one. I notice the place is packed. My waiter comes over and smiles. "What can I get for you?" He asks.

"I'd like a black coffee with the sausage, egg and cheese biscuit meal." I say.

"I'll put this in for you." He smiles and walks to the back.

I walk to the front of the diner and grab the paper. Back at my table I open it to the political section. I always hated politics, but I never liked being uninformed. I keep reading through the different sections when the chair in front of me moves.

I look up and see the girl from last night sitting there. I drop my newspaper and smile. "I see you're feeling better." I say sweetly.

"Yeah, the doctor gave me pain medicine for the broken ribs." She says quietly.

"So, what brings you here?" I look at her up and down.

"I wanted to thank you. I was so scared when they jumped me. I figured it was for coming, but they started saying I'm too dark and that I would never be pretty like her." She rubs her arms and looks away.

My fist turns white because of grabbing my newspaper. "Fuck those fake as Barbie's. You are more beautiful than they ever will be. How about we go to the spa? I could use a good manicure." I smile and wink to her.

"I would love to. This is my first time in this city. I'm about to be a new student." She smiles so wide.

"Will you be attending the delinquent school?" I ask suspiciously.

She blushes. "Yeah, my grandma sent me there because I shanked someone last year." She shrugs it off and laughs.

"I go there to. I got sent because of multiple reasons." I keep my reasons a secret for now.

"Oh, good. My name is Serenity."

"Names Kacey."

Just then the waiter comes back with my food. I offer to buy her something, but she denies it. I start eating my food.

I finish off my breakfast and pay. I lead Serenity out the diner and to my bike. "You don't mind motorcycles, right?" I ask teasingly.

"I love motorcycles!" She says excitedly. She grabs the spare helmet and hops onto the bike.

I laugh. I get on and start the bike. I hear her laughing as the wind blows on her face. I can imagine her smile is as wide as mine in this moment. I pull into the spa parking lot. I get off and take off my helmet. She follows and steps off. She is wearing skinny jeans with a loose crop top which frames her body well.

We walk inside and order two pedicures with 2 full acrylic sets. They lead us to seats and sits us in massage chairs next to each other.

I lean back and let the warm feeling take over. They massage my feet with hot stones. They clip my toenails and use a pumice stone on my feet. I tell them to do a simple French tip for my toes.

Serenity goes with a clear glitter. Once we have our flip-flops on, we go to the nail station.

I show my nails to the nail lady. The picture showed a hand with and intricate design. The thumb, middle finger and pinky were a nude pink. The pointer finger was a clear nail with a three-dimensional flower and the ring finger was white with gold, intersecting lines with a gold spike at each intersection. I got stiletto for the shape of the nails. When they completely dry I pull out my purse. I pay for both me and Serenity. I go outside and wait for Serenity to finish her eyebrows.

I go around the corner and pull out my baggy of joints. I grab one and light it. I suck in the first puff of smoke. I release it and smile. I let the feeling sink in and take another puff. The joint is snatched from my hand.

Serenity takes a puff and smiles. "I couldn't let you have all the fun." She says playfully. She walks back to the motorcycle.

I smirk and put the joint out. We head back to my house around noon.

Back at my house we sit on the couch and talk.

"Why did you shank someone?" I ask cautiously.

"They wanted to fight. When I went, they had a knife. I ended up with the knife and stabbed them. Why are you going to delinquent school?" She asks me.

I freeze. "I don't disclose that. I don't want you asking anymore either." I look at her sternly.

She nods and smiles. "Who do you like?"

"I don't like anyone." I shrug as I look at her.

"Yes, you do. It's that boy from last night. I know someone like you doesn't let just anybody drive her car." She has a knowing look on her face.

I hide my smiles well. "I really don't like anyone." I repeat.

"If you say so." She laughs. "Can I tell you something?" Her facial expression changes.

"Of course. I'm always here to listen." I sit up and pull my legs close to my body.

"I'm bisexual. I'm scared I'll be hurt again. My ex-boyfriend cheated on me and now I have a hard time trusting anyone. I was wondering if you could help me." She looks away shyly.

"What can I help you with?" I ask slightly confused.

She leans over to me and kisses me.

I automatically pull back. I look away. Why did she have to kiss me? I run to my room and close the door.

"Kacey, wait. What's wrong?" She calls after me, but I don't answer. "I'm so sorry. I'm leaving now."

I rock in bed and cover my ears.

He forces my head straight and forcefully presses his lips against mine. I try to turn away, but he holds me tighter.

I shake my head and pull my hair. He won't hurt me ever again. He's gone.

I go to my closest and put on an athletic long sleeve. I also put on thick yoga pants and tennis shoes. I tie my hair into a bun and set outside.
