I was listening to Pandora, while sitting in my black 2012 Chevrolet Impala. Waiting for my sister to get out of school. I'v been outside for about 15 minutes.
My lil sister is suppose to graduate from high school soon. Janelle's a Junior right now though. Soon she'll get a job, a car and make her own money. Girl thinks she grown.. Never listens to nobody. But hey, you can take a horse to a river, but you can't make 'em drink.
I have to try and guide her to what's good in life. Our mom died in a car accident. And we've never met our dad.
Both passenger and driver windows were rolled down. It's May and hot as a heck outside. I'm tried as hell.. they need to come on..got things to do. I was starting to get anxious.
It going on 2:16 in the afternoon. I glanced up from my phone, and saw that students were being released.
I started my engine and belted up. Looking at everyone but Janelle. After rolling the windows back up i turned the on the A/C.
Ten minutes later I spotted Janelle walking out the main doors with some dude arms wrapped around her waist. She was smiling and what not. The dude gently pushed her against a wall. What the.. I this girl about these dang boys.
The boy started kissing on her neck. Janelle just allowing the sh×t. That just made my mad. Who does this boy think he is?
I unbuckled my seat belt, grabbed my door handle and blew it open. And stood up out of the car.
"Aye, Janelle! Bring yo' tail on here!" I shouted.
My name is Yazmine Clark, but everyone calls Minnie. I'm 21 years old. I'm 5'6, brown skin I'm biracial with black and Indian. My hair is long, wavy and black. But I keep it all in a ponytail. Too hot for all that. Oh don't take my appearance for a weakness. Cause I believe me when I say I will do some damage. Don't take shxt from nobody. I don't care who you are. If ya disrespect mine you disrespect me.
Just about everyone stopped and looked at me. Including Janelle and Mr. Goody over there. She seemed to have forgotten I was waiting on her. She said her good byes and ran over to my car.
I got back in the car. Shutting the door behind me. Few seconds later Janelle got in them car. Buckling herself up she tries to apologize to me.
"My bad, Minnie. John had to--"
"Just save it. I've told you about these dxmn boys! They don't want nothing but what's in your panties. And ya better hope I ain't late for work.. again." I cut her off. While driving out of the school parking lot.
"You don't know him. He's different." She protested. I glanced at her than back at the road.
"You said the same thing about Zack, Dreandre, Trey, Brian.." I trailed off.
"Ugh.. they were just jerks. You were right about them, but I know for su--"
"I was what?" I pretended not to hear her. Stilling watching he road. I placed my right hand behind my ear. Couldn't believe she actually admitted this time.
Janelle didn't say anything. I stopped a red light and looked over at her. She had her arms folded over her chest and looking out her window.

Eight minutes later I arrived at our apartment building. I parked the car in a spot.
"Make sure you straighten up the kitchen, your room and do your homework. I left money on the counter for ya too."
Janelle didn't look at me. She just kept staring out the window. I grabbed her head and turned it towards me. I squeezed her cheeks. I lent over a kissed her nose.
"Ugh.. Yazmine." She snatched herself away from me. I was teasing her. I guess she was still mad at me for bring right. It was kinda funny to me. Janelle's still a baby at heart. Girl just pouts to much. In other words she's just a cry baby.
"Did you hear what I said?"
Janelle turned back around towards the window.
"Yes.." she mumbled to herself.
"What?"
"Yes I heard you Yasmin, dang."
I unlocked tube car door. We gone have to work on that attitude of hers. She got out and open the door. Janelle is gonna learn to show me that she can be trusted with these boys.
"I love you." I said cheerfully.
"... Love you too." Janelle got out grabbed her backpack and slammed the door.
"Stop slammin' my dxmn door girl!"
I knew she heard me. Betcha anybody could.
