Rose's POV

"6678", are the numbers I typed into the keypad of the entry gates of my neighborhood.

Holding my books and belongings, I walked along on the side walk. Each house I walked by had deep green grass that was mowed to perfection. Most of them were 2 story houses, but sometimes you'd might find 3 story pop up.

You needed money to live in this gated community.

My mother was a lawyer and my father was a dentist. Not just any ordinary dentist, he was the best in the entire city and that was what made his wallet fill up even more.

"Hi Rose, tell your father I said hello." Said my neighbor Mr.Diaz as he watered his lawn with a garden hose waving his free hand.

"Good afternoon Mr.Diaz and I'll try if he doesn't come home late." I smiled.

Walking into the driveway of my 2 story White House with a glass front door, I pulled the key out of my back pocket before turning the lock.

"How was the first day?" Asked my sister Ramirah sitting on the couch filing her nails.

"Shitty." I said walking up the stairs making my way to my room.

Ramirah was my older sister and the oldest out of me and my brother Ramirez. She was 20 and Ramirez was 19.

I walked into my big, white and gold decorated room throwing my books onto the floor before plopping onto my bed signing. There was a long year ahead and all I wanted was it to be over.

The next day ...

The horrid beeping of my alarm clock jetted me out of my sleep. Getting up, I made my way straight into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and threw my hair into a messy bun.

I decided to wear baby blue skinny jeans with a white shirt and a Olive green jacket with white lowtop Converse.

I grabbed my books and made my way down stairs.

"Good morning." Said my mother in her rich Spanish accent.

"Good morning." I replied waking past her into the kitchen where I grabbed an apple of the fruit bowl that sat on an island.

"Chiquita." (Little girl in Spanish) My dad smiled as he said grabbing his keys off the table.

I grinned happily.

"Look at you. You're all grown up. It feels like just yesterday the nurse handed you to me wrapped up in blankets." He reminisced coming up to embrace me.

"I love you papi." I Said hugging him and he kissed my cheek.

"Have a good day at school." He said as I walked out the front door.

Walking into the driveway, I saw that my parents had bought a new car. It had a mini Mexican (🇲🇽) and Cuban flag (🇨🇺) hanging from mirror. It was a beautiful black Cadillac. Hoping deep down inside that it was mine.

As I walked my towards the gate I heard running coming from behind me.

"ROSEE!" I heard being yelled from a distance.

"Rose.." Lauren Said once more out of breath catching up to me.

She was a beautiful light skinned girl who wore her natural, black, tight curled hair into a puff and most importantly she was really my only friend.
