Nicole "Dutchess" Williams P.O.V
"GET THE FUCK UP!" My mama yelled as she opened my room door. Nice alarm huh? I laid there staring at the ceiling for about five minutes gathering my thoughts.
I rolled out of bed and went to my closet. I stared at my clothes for a minute trying to put a combination together. After standing there for at least five minutes, I settled on black jeans with rips at the knees and a black and white checkered t-shirt. I put my outfit on the bed and grabbed my towel, house shoes, and make up heading towards the bathroom. I connected my phone to my beats pill and hit shuffle on my shower playlist. I turned the water on to a good temperature and begin to strip out of my pajamas. Shortly after, I hopped into the shower.
After singing my heart out to 3 different songs, I stepped out and wrapped the towel around me and wiped the mirror so I could see what I wanted to do with my hair. Five hairstyles later, I decided to just do a top knot bun.
I grabbed my edge control and brush from under the cabinet and started putting my hair into a ponytail then wrapping it in a bun.
Once I was satisfied with my bun I started on my make up. I don't do much, really just my eyebrows, lashes and some lip gloss.
I'm not bad at doing make up but I swear it's always something with that left eyebrow. I attempted twice already, now on my third try.
I guess the third try is a charm, because I finally got it. I picked up my phone to check the time. It's 7:15am. My bus normally comes at 7, so now I have to ask my mom for a ride. That damn left eyebrow.
Walking back into my room I put on my clothes and my black strappy sandals.
I spritzed myself with my Cherry Blossom perfume.
I grabbed my phone, head phones, and my book bag from by the door and headed out.
"Ma!" I yelled going into the living room.
"Dutchess why the fuck are you still here? I'm not taking you to school. I got company coming over and I'm not bout to miss my money because yo dumbass late." She said sitting at the dining room table smoking a cigarette and drinking a cup of coffee.
Damn I didn't even get to ask. As you can see, my mother and I don't get along very well. When I was seven my daddy dropped her for a younger woman and leaving me with her. To her I'm a constant reminder of why he left, so she started to take all her anger out on me.
I guess that means walk. I've been saving up for a car so I won't have to deal with this shit anymore.
I headed towards the front door. As I opened the door, I was met with a big, dark, ugly man that stood there ready to knock. I guess this is the "company" my mama was talking about. Instead of getting a job like normal mothers do, she decided to do this. It don't always work though. There were a couple times when the lights or water was off. That's when she made me get a job.
He looked me up and down while licking his crusty ass lips. I returned a disgusted look and pushed passed him. I could feel his eyes on me as I walked down the steps. Being thick has always been a problem for me. My bestfriend Amari would say and I quote "Anybody would kill to be that thick. That booty is an illusion and thick thighs saves lives" every time I say something about it. Speak of the angel, she's calling now.
"Hey bitchhhh!!" she screamed in the phone. "Hey girl" I chuckled.
Amari and I have been best friends since we were in middle school. We both were on the dance team. We were the best ones, and coach always had us pair up to teach the rest of the girls. That shit wasn't easy either, but ever since then we've been inseparable.
