Atalya- fvcking- Williams.

I've been slayin the game since I came out.

I know I can be a a little extra, but... believe me, I'm worth the trouble.

Speaking of trouble my bïtch Lanya Teal is always trying to get me to go clubbing with her...

I got work to do.

People think I'm crazy but Nya just wants to party. I under stand she didn't want to go to college, it's not for everybody. But her coming back from shopping everyday, just to go out clubbing, only to come BACK drunk as hell with her boyfriend in the middle of the night is ridiculous.

We share a big ašs apartment that her parents and I pay for.

I had to make sure to pay some bills, cause I don't need them boujee people tryna kick me out.

She stays on the West end, and I'm on the East. If we don't want to, we don't have to see each other for days.

The down side is that I have a big room with a king size bed and nobody to share it with, so it gets a little too quiet sometimes.

Oh well school first.

I want to be a care taker and help people in need. When I told my mama?

She laughed her aśs off.

Talkin about I'm too mean for people to want to be around me. She said I should study to be a teacher so I can be that triflin history teacher nobody likes in college.

Dámn.

Imma show her who's mean when I get my Doctorates.

Anyways...

Back to this homework...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dontavious is the name and... I lost my game.

Ever since the crash, I've been silent.

My boys joke that I'm just búllshittin. They say I do it to get chicks, but it aint true.

I know I can talk if I try to, the doctors say my injuries have fully healed but I ain't said shït.

And I don't plan on it.

Four years. I haven't uttered a word in four years.

I lost my sister in that accident. I lost my voice too because I was the reason she died...

I used to be good in debate. I was going to be a lawyer. Thing is, you can't be a lawyer that's mute.

At least I don't think you can.

I was supposed to be rich and successful and stay with fine ladies on me, but now all I have is this weight on my shoulders.

Left alone with my painful thoughts...

I killed her.

Time for school.

It's my fault.

Gotta get to class.

She's not coming back.
