Khaliyah Johnson is a 17 year old ready to get out of high school and start her life. Throughout her high school career she has focused on her grades, family, and God. She's determined to become a surgeon and won't let anything or anyone stop her...
Waking up on Monday mornings is one of the hardest things to do. Especially on the first day of school. The loud ringing of my alarm scared the crap out of me as I jumped up groaning. Muttering a couple of swear words I quickly jump out of bed to start getting ready for school.
I walk across the hall to the bathroom me and my brother share. As I hop in the shower I take a second to just think, that second turn into minutes and before I know it, it's been 20 minutes. I awaken from my thoughts with my brother pounding on the bathroom door.
"Khaliyah come on I have to piss man!" My twin brother, Kameri, exclaims.
"Alright, shut up I'm getting out," I said as I quickly get out the shower and brush my teeth. I walk past my brother who pushes me out the way and runs into the bathroom, slamming the door. I laugh at his dumb self and walk back to my room. I sit down at my makeup desk and grab my phone off the charger. I quickly find my best friend, Safia's number and facetime her. She, as always, answer to phone loud as ever.
"Khaliyah! Bitch, we're seniors!" She screams while smiling.
"Bitch it's way too early for you to be screaming in my ear," I say laughing at her facial expression.
"Suck my dick, so what are you wearing?" She says laughing with me.
"I think I'm going to wear that black long sleeve shirt, some jeans and my vans. What 'bout you" I said as I start doing my makeup, it's nothing special just some mascara, eyebrows and of course lip gloss. I hate wearing a full face to school.

"Uh, my white cropped sweater, camo skirt and my white high top converses. We about to have all the boys looking at us" Safia said smiling at her best friend doing her makeup.

I roll my eyes and smack my lips "Man you know I'm not looking for any of that right now, I got too much going on with me trying to get into college. Right now, boys are the last thing on my mind." She said as she makes the mascara face.
"Whatever, you're saying this now but once you get there and see all the cute ass boys, you'll be all over them," Safia says as she slips her shirt on.
"I hope you joking, none of those children at our school are even close to being cute," I say laughing.
"Whatever Khaliyah, Imma be at your house in 20 so better hurry your fine self-up," Safia says while putting on red lipstick.
"Ok bitch, call me when you're outside. Love you!" I say as I press the end putting.
I get up from my desk while taking off my bonnet and shaking the curls out. I head over to my closet where my first-day clothes are already hanging up, ready for me to put on. As I quickly slip on my outfit I go to my full body mirror, do a little spin around making sure everything is perfect. I smile at myself knowing that I look cute.
I go back to my desk to grab my bookbag, phone, and charger and start heading downstairs. Everybody in my family wakes up so early, so luckily my mom has made us breakfast.
"Goodmorning everyone," I say to my family, which consists of my mom, dad, Kameri, my little sister Kaela, and my baby brother Kaiser. Yes, our parents are like that.
"Good morning baby," my mom says while kissing my forehead, "I made you guys some bacon and egg sandwiches so eat up."
I gladly take the food and sit down next to Kaela.
"Good morning Kammy," I say as I kiss her forehead.
She rolls her eyes as she wipes off her forehead and continues scrolling through Instagram on her phone.
Wow, rude.
I roll my eyes right back at her and start to eat my sandwich.
"So, you guys ready for school?" My dad asks us excited.
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Ugh!" We all say at the same time. My parents just laugh at us and continue to have a conversation on their own.
As I'm finishing drinking my orange juice, I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket. I pull it out and see Safia calling. I answer it quickly and she tells me she's outside.
"Alright guys, Safia's outside so it's time for me to go," I say as I head over to where Kaiser is sitting and reach over and kiss him on the cheek twice.
"Ok baby, have a good day, I love you." My mom says as I walk out the door.
I see Safia's Volkswagen Beetle sitting in the driveway. I cannot wait to get my license, so my parents can finally get me a car. I know what you're thinking, you're a senior and you still don't have your license? Ok and? I may have failed my permit test a couple of times mind your business.
"Hey bitch," I say as I jump into the front seat and reach over hugging her.
"Hey girl, hurry up and buckle in I got to go see all my boo things." She says while look at herself in the sun visor mirror. I laugh at her as I buckle up quickly. She speeds off as soon as she sees me strapped in.
We arrive at school in no time and Safia starts to do her annual first day of school 'pep talk.'
"Ok bitch, we're seniors now and we're fine as shit, bitch no one can touch us," Safia says as she turns towards me and grabs my hand.
I giggle as I jump out the car and run my hands down my clothes to straighten them out. I bend down and look in the side mirror to make sure I don't have anything in my teeth and my hair looks big and amazing. I stand back up and notice my brother getting out of a car with someone I've never seen before. Let's just say the boy is the finest dude I've ever seen.
"Khaliyah, come on what yo- oh shit." She says to look in the same direction I am.
I continue to stare at the new boy as Safia locks her arm in mine and hits me on the arm repeatedly. Just as I was about to turn away, the new boy turns towards me and locks eyes with me. He looks me up and down, smirks, then looks away.
"Safia who is that?" I say in a daze almost.
"Bitch that's the new boy, his name is Adrian and he's fine as shit. And he just smirked at you, I don't know how you're not dead yet." She says while still hitting my arm.
Truth be told, I'm surprised I'm not either.
