Jasmine pov

My day started off just like it does everyday. The day was Monday at 7:35 and my mom was already yelling at my brother.
"Deangelo Malik Wright, get yo ass up it's 7:35 and you about to be late!"
My brother isn't a morning person as you can tell. He's more of the "wake up at 12:00 and get high" type.
"MA WHY YOU ALWAYS YELLING, IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THAT!"
"MAYBE IF YOU WOULD WAKE UP ON TIME LIKE YOUR SUPPOSED TO, THAN MAYBE I WON'T HAVE TO.
I always wake up to someone getting yelled at in the morning so this isn't anything new. I try to wake up early so I don't have to hear my momma voice, but somehow she always finds a way to yell. When you live in the "Wright" house it's never a "perfect" morning.
"JASMINE AND DEANGELO COME EAT!"

I know I haven't introduced myself properly, but my name is Jasmine. I'm sixteen years old and I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I've never been the good kid that everyone thinks I am. I haven't done anything seriously wrong yet, but just keep reading. The time now is 7:40 and me and my brother just got done eating. My mom works as a teacher at a school for teen moms who dropped out of school because they had a baby. I guess you can say it a school for girls who have no future but still want to get their education. My mom always comes home and tells me stories about things that go on at work.

It's almost time for me to go to the bus stop, so I grab my phone and backpack. My brother who is sadly my twin is never ready when it's time to go. This morning he decided that he wanted to wait till we had ten minutes before we had to go to get ready. He usually just grabs something out the dirty clothes, smells it, than puts it on. I can't stand when he does that shit, just makes you wanna throw up. He thinks he so cool cause he got al these thot girls running after him like he the finest person ever. Since it was Monday I decided to just put on my puma jumpsuit with the matching shoes. I try not to get all cute for school, cause who am I trying to impress anyway, well maybe I was trying to impress someone.

Me and my brother got on the bus, and headed off to school. When we finally get there he runs off to go meet up with Jamal, "the plug". While my brother goes to get high I go to find my best friend, Madison.
"Hey Madison, who you looking good for?" I say trying to be funny.
"Girl who I gotta look good for?" She replied back.
"Maybe you trying to look good for Aj, who knows."
"His ugly ass, I think the fuck not."
Aj is the cutest boy in school, that kinda sounds weird coming from me because he's like a brother to me. Me and Aj have been cool since middle school. Madison has a crush on him, but she tries to make it seem like she don't. When me and Aj first met it was like we instantly became the best of friends. Madison hated when I said that she liked Aj, which just makes me joke about it even more. It was almost time for first period so me and Madison decided to stop joking around and head to class.

I loved my first period, it was only because my crush also my ex boyfriend was in there. Me and him go way back to middle school too we been rocking since the sixth grade. I know you probably like, "Crush on your ex boyfriend, get the fuck out of here!" The thing is that we're the ex's who never get over each other, we brake up then make up. I keeping telling myself that we just need to chill and stay away from each other. My teacher, Mrs.Smith was telling the class how scientists use animals to test out products before they sell them on the market. I however, wasn't paying attention I was to busy looking and Trey. Trey is my ex and not only was I looking at him, he was looking at me too. I turn my head as soon as I realize that he sees me looking at him. Madison taped me to give me a warning to pay attention.

* later on in the day*

It's time for lunch so me and Madison make our way to the cafeteria. Today I had my grandma bring me some Firehouse Subs. I normally just bring my own lunch but today I was really in the mood for subs. I got a text from my mom telling my that she was going to be home late. This means I have to be in the house with my high ass brother and his friends. Me and Madison just spend our 30 minuets of lunch talking about what happened throughout our day.
"So Jasmine, how was your day so far?"
"Good I guess." I say with a unsure voice.
" Jas what's wrong, you don't sound to happy?"
" I just wish Trey would stop playing!" I say as I pull out my phone to show her Trey's and I text messages.
"Mmm I see, he's playing that I like you but I'm not going to show other people I like you game."
"Anyway enough about me, what's going on with you and Aj?" I asked Madison
" Well nothing new, same old let's play hard to get."
The bell had rung so Madison and I got up from the table to head to our next class.

It was my last class of the day and I was ready to go home. I didn't eat all my Firehouse sub that my grandma had brought me so that I would have something to eat later on at home. When I heard the principal come on the intercom I was relieved. I was so ready to go home. Me and my brother ended up meeting in the hallway so we can get on the bus together. I thought he would be higher than the Himalaya Mountains, but this time he wasn't. I told him that momma was going to be working late and he simply replied with an okay. This wasn't like him, he would be glad to hear that our mom was working late. I asked him what's wrong but he didn't respond.

When I got home I did my homework and took my shower so that I could to get ready for bed. When I was done with my shower I decided to FaceTime Trey.
"Hello."
"Hey big head."
" Yeah you right, I do got a big head."
"Boy you so nasty."
"Anyway what you doing mommy."
I loved it when he called me mommy, it made me feel special.
"Nothing daddy, how about you."
"Girl you better chill over here calling me daddy and shit."
"Okay ima chill, daddy."
"Aye mommy, I'll have to call you back later."
I hated when he said he'll call me later because I know that he'll never call back. I rolled my eyes and hung up. I don't know what time my mom got home because after me and Trey got off the phone I feel asleep.
