Chapter 1

Opening my eyes to the sun glaring through my window my eyes take a minute to adjust groaning turning my head and looking in the night stand for my phone looking at my clock I noticed it's 6:50, picking myself out of bed to take a shower adjusting the knobs to set to the perfect temperature flicking the water to make sure it isn't too cold while the water heated up I began undressing feeling the water one last time "perfect" getting in turning around making sure the water hit every section of my body after what seemed like 5 minutes I began to wash my face. Lathering up my rag I began scrubbing my body after my last rinse getting out of the shower and stepping on my plush rug I grabbed my towel wrapping it around my body walking into my bedroom grabbing a blue bra hooking it from the front spinning it around to cup my D36 breast lifting both breast to make sure they sit perfectly opening the bottom left draw getting my grey and blue jogging pants pairing it with a grey and white husband beater and all blue tee shirt with my blue grey and white high tops Nike's looking at the clock 7:15 "oh shit" realizing I'm almost behind schedule I through my hair in a bun grabbing bag with a pull over hoodie taking my keys from the night stand and finally leaving my house checking to make sure the door was locked getting in my car driving to the freeway took about 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic thankfully it wasn't bad so I made within the 15 Slightly turning the wheel to get on the freeway ramp playing my music thinking about how today was going to go distracting myself from my thoughts I called my sister. The phone rang three times about to hang up she finally answered "hey sis" she said excitedly
"Hey babes wyd" I said with a smile on my face.
"Rocking the baby she's fussy I think she's teething"
"Are you putting her to sleep or are you soothing her?" Asking her curiously
"Mostly soothing but if she falls asleep be my guest" she said pleased and slightly hopeful
My sister and I spent my entire car ride on the phone talking about some of everything I would usually stop at Royal Farms or Starbucks and get a cup of coffee hot or cold depending on my mood, but today I didn't have the time. Finally pulling up to my destination laughing at her I let her know I have to go. We exchanged our love for one another and said our goodbyes getting out of my car and walking into school walking past everyone but still saying my hellos to those who speak to me. Walking into my first class of the day I choose my seat in the middle of the class room Mrs. Evans walking in speaking to everyone with a smile upon her face.
Thinking to myself while Mrs. Evans spoke giving us a lecture "Ms. Wilson
A 43-year-old African American male is admitted with sickle cell anemia. The nurse plans to assess circulation in the lower extremities every two hours. What outcome criteria would the nurse use? Mrs. Evans said bringing me out of my thoughts "It is important to assess the extremities for blood vessel occlusion in the client with sickle cell anemia because a change in capillary refill would indicate a change in circulation. Body temperature, motion, and sensation would not give information regarding peripheral circulation;" I said in response
"That is correct it is important to keep the circulation going if not the patient could die" Mrs. Evans said returning to the board minutes later Mrs. Evans took up our test papers "alright class you will have your papers back by next Friday until then grab your homework on the way out enjoy the rest of your ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Wilson may I have a word?!" Stopping in my tracks making a u-turn walking over to her desk
"Yes Ma'am" looking at her thinking of what she could be calling me for
"I think you should go ahead and take your BSN "
"Why?"
"You have the most potential and I want the best for you, I've watched you and graded all your test you have maintained your gpa there is no need for you to still be inside my classroom you should be in a hospital" she said ending her statement I thought to myself
"May I will take sometime to think about it"
"Yes but don't take too long" she said with a smile upon her face
"I won't" with that we parted ways saying our goodbyes and grabbing my homework on the way out leaving her class. I made my way down the hall
And into my next class to see an unfamiliar face "that is not Mrs. Dixon" I thought to myself taking a seat the rest of the class started to come in you could see the look of confusion then you started to hear whispers "where's Mrs.Dixon" that's when shoulders started to shrug and shallow I don't knows came into play. "Alright class how are we today?" Silence no one said a word "Okay I will be your teacher for the day my name is Ms. Waldrop"
"Where's Mrs. Evans?" This girl asked with somewhat of an attitude. "Mrs. Evans will be back when she's able until then let's just focus on what we we need to take care of Mrs. Evans did give me some assignments for you all to complete in her absence so right now I will be passing out a pop quiz" " Mrs. Evans didn't say nothing about a no test today"
"It's on the syllabus Ms.__"
"Jones"
"It's on the syllabus Ms.Jones"
"So put your books and note pads away get out you pens you will have approximately 50 minutes" " but it's 50 question on here" "That's more then enough time right?" Rhetorically stated by Mrs. Waldrop. Setting her timer "you may start" with that complete silence erupted the room with occasional huff and puff. The question were common sense questions nothing

Incorrect placement of the rubber band of perm rods will cause band marks or: C Breakage. After 15 mins I finished my test. Placing my pen down and pulling out my my phone with my head phones attached listening to Take a back road by Rodney Atkins feeling a tap on my shoulder " What's your name"
"Ty Wilson" I stated
"Well Ms. Wilson is your quiz finished?"
"Yes" I started as I passed her the quiz paper watching her look from me and back to the paper before grabbing it and walking over to her desk. I chuckled to myself slightly before start my music up again turn back around in my seat finishing out the song. Just as another song began to play
"Alright class time is up you may place your pens down. We are going to do something a little different today instead of myself grading your papers the person sitting next you will so you may pass your papers to that person once" Ms.Waldrop stated. After giving everyone time to pass their papers next to them, she began reading off question by question and answer by answer. "Now on that same paper if there were two incorrect out of fifty their grade is a ninty-eight if that person has five incorrect out of fifty their grade is a ninty-five ten incorrect out of fifty that person gets ninty so in and so forth after their grade has been written on their paper you may then pass it back and I will be passing out your homework." Ms. Waldrop stated before grabbing the stack of papers off of what was formerly known as Mrs. Evans desk, walking over to me and handing me my paper "Great job". Looking at the paper I noticed I had one-hundred. The test wasn't hard but I also didn't expect to get that great of a grade. Dismissing us from class I began walking to the cafeteria looking around I found nothing to my tase buds liking thinking of a place I could go there was a Jamaican restaurant not too far from my school walking down the stairs and out of the overly long hall and through the double doors and crossing the street to my car I unlocked the doors and got in turning the key to ignite the engine taking a minute next song by da baby peering  through my mirrors to make sure no cars were coming hitting my left turning signal and pulling out. Rapping along pulling up the the restaurant turning the engine off and removing the keys walking into the restaurant "hello how are you?"
"Yes wat can mi do yuh" the lady with a thick accent spoke
"Is the curry goat spicy?"
"No,"
"Would you happen to have anything I can use to make it spicy?"
"Yes but it's ah dollar extra"
"That's fine May I please a the Curry Goat large size with the spicy stuff Cocoa Bread and Beef Patty please?"
"Curry goat large size wid de peppers cocoa bread an beef patty that's aal"
"Yes, ma'am"
"Yuh total a twenty five dollars an fourteen cents" she spoke, swiping my card and getting my receipt I waited for what seemed like five minutes after hanging me my bag of food my phone began to vibrate inside my pocket looking at the screen it was scam likely hitting decline saying my thank you ma and walking out back to my car heading back to school to finish out my last class business management. I walk into the cafeteria to find a seat I pull my phone out of my pocket looking at the time and unlocking it checking the text message that my mom send sent me.
"Hey! MyTy How are you doing?
"Hey Mommy! I'm doing well how are you and dad is back is in pain? Is he wearing his brace?" I pressed send and began to open up my food looking at the text that my sister laughing to myself because this girl is crazy.
Just them I feel a something behind me
"Stop playing with bruh" snapping my head around to see one of my best friends Marcus
"Girl if you don't chill out with all that shit"
We dapped up having a seat to continue our conversation
"What are you eating?
"Jamaican, what is that Mexican?"
"Nah, Girl Indian. It's Chicken Masala."
"What are you doing after school"
"Stop and see my sister then go home to study for this exam."
"What about you"
"I'm going over my boyfriend house to spend some time" my other best friend cut in and taking a seat. We continued our conversation and eating for another forty-five minutes before giving our love and parting out ways. My last of the day finally ended exiting through the overly long hallway and the double doors getting outside to my car unlocking the doors starting the ignition and pulling out of the parking lot my Bluetooth connecting on it own boo'd up remix stated to play singing along I make my way to my sisters house.
