The Black Sheep

Car Crash

"Bye," I hug Skye and Luna goodbye before stepping into the car with Zion and his 3 best friends; Bravon Johnson, Chez Diamons, and Dace Oceans. I stick my earphones in and completely ignore them like I always do. As they punch each other and laugh and dance, I push myself as close to the door as I can. It's a mutual thing too. I ignore them and they ignore me. It works out perfectly. We reach our house and I'm the first to get out. I unlock the front door and walk inside. I run upstairs and lock myself inside my room. Lugano hops off my bed and jumps on me. "Hi Lugy," he licks my hand and I sit on the floor to scratch his head. A knock on my door snaps me out of my little trans. I stand up and unlock it. There stands Chez and Dace. "What?"

"Damn, why you always got an attitude?" Chez asks. I sigh and shut the door in their faces. "Okay okay, chill. We gotta ask you something," I open my door and they smile.

"If this is some joke, I'm not laughing."

"It's not. It's serious. Out of all of 3 of us, me, Chez, and Bravon, who's the hottest?" A little snort comes out my nose.

"Imma have to go with none of you. All of you are ugly as hell. We good now?" Their smiles drop.

"Man you ain't shit."

"I know, I'm aware. Anything else?" They both walk away and I shut my door.

"Dude, your sister blows!" I hear Dace yell. I laugh a little before walking to my bed and starting on my Spanish and Math homework. As much as I hate both classes and I can't speak Spanish to save my life, I always manage to maintain at least a B, if not an A, in those classes. However, I'm great in English and Business and Marketing. And I suck in Science. No matter how much I try, I always end up getting a C in that class at least once a year. It sucks, but I always keep a 3.25 GPA or higher which I'm okay with.

I look up from all my homework and check my clock. I finished everything in only 2 hours. Nice. I walk over to my desk and turn my lamp on and pull out my journal.

Car Crash

You can never unsee a car crash.
Once two perfectly functioning vehicles,
Because of one minor mistake,
Because of one reckless driver,
Will never be the same again.
You can't put broken glass back together
Or rewind time to stop it
You live with the damage.
But you can apply new lessons to your new car.
Keep your focus and notice problems beforehand.
Car crashes don't only ruin material,
But lives too.
Just like when you crashed into me
And shattered my glass
And made me dysfunctional Because you were reckless

I put my pen down and sit my journal aside. I rest my head on my desk, listening to the harsh sounds of the wind blowing outside and the loud laughter erupting from below my feet as we speak. The floors vibrate and I wish it would stop. But I know that within the next 5 hours, it will eventually stop.
