SERVICE

*Prologue*

I wiped the beads of sweat of my forehead as I waited infront of the school for my dad to pick me up. For some reason, he insisted on picking me up from school today. I usually just drove myself home in the Benz he got me, but he took my keys from me, leaving me here to wait for him. I held my binder over my head, trying to block the sun from beaming directly on me. "Is that Miracle I see?" I rolled my eyes a little once I recognized the voice. I looked over my shoulder to see Keisha and her crew, taunting me as always. "Aww, did daddy forget to give the little princess her car this morning?" She asked in a baby voice.

I rolled my eyes and turned back around. Although I was used to Keisha messing with me, it didn't mean that it was any less annoying. She always had something to say about what I did or what I wore, or who I talked too. I knew it was just her being jealous, since my father basically runs things in this town. But if I was her, I would be jealous too. I always wore the newest shit and my hair and nails stayed on point and she hated it. "Don't you have anything else to do besides worry about me? How about you go feed your three kids you have by three different guys." I looked her up and down before turning back around.

I heard a few laughs around us, which made her mad. "Just because you walk around with all the new shit, doesn't mean anything, you ain't shit and you'll never be." I smiled. "If I'll never be shit, then what will you be?" I tilted my head to the side, waiting for her to answer. "Bitch fuck you." She said stepping to me. I put my binder down and smiled at her. "Am I suppose to be scared?" She looked me up and down, debating on hitting me or not. "Leave her alone Keisha, you know her dad got them connections." One of her friends said. I stared her in the face, watching her clench her jaw together, since she knew she couldn't hit me. Everybody knew my dad didn't play when it came too me.

She looked me up and down one last time before turning around, making sure she hit me with that crusty weave of hers. "Pathetic." I said in a chuckle. I didn't know why she hated me so much, I wasn't the reason why all the guys passed her around, or the reason why she has three kids at 18. Keisha needed to leave me the hell alone and get priorites straight. I pushed my short hair over my shoulder and turned around, to see my father pulling up. "Thank god." I mumbled. I couldn't take another second in this Atlanta heat.

I opened up the car door and sat down in the passenger seat. "Hey dady." I said as I threw my Louis bag in the backseat. "Hey princess, how was school?" I shrugged as I buckled my seatbelt. "Same ol, same ol, how was work?" He chuckled. "It was fine...you know report cards are coming out soon." I nodded. "I know, don't stress, you know I always make good grades." He smiled, keeping his eyes on the rode. "I know, but I know how senior year can be, you get lazy and start to slack off, I don't need your grades slipping Mimi." I rolled my eyes as I leaned over on the window, mostly to get the cool air that was coming from the vent.

"I know, you told me a thousand times already." He smirked. "Now I told you a thousand and one times, I really need you to hear me ight? You need your education." "I know dad, education is the key to everything." I said in a rehearsed tone. "That's my girl." I chuckled a little to myself and shook my head. "So." I started. "What was the reason behind you picking me up today?? I could have just drove myself if we were going home." He rubbed his chin, something he always did when he had somethind to tell me. "We're going home, but I gotta stop by my job first okay?" I nodded and sat back in my seat. "And." He started. "For the next two weeks, I'll be picking you up from school, so don't worry about your car."

I frowned and looked over at me. "What? Why??" He sighed as he turned into the building's parking lot. Once he parked, he unbuckled his seatbelt and faced me. "Look, there's alot of shit going on right now that I can't really explain, just be ready everyday after school and I'll be there to get you, alright?" "Yeah, whatever." I mumbled. I turned my head and looked out the window, he knew how I got when I didn't get my way, and the fact that he gave me some bullshit excuse mad it worse. "Stay here for a minute and I'll be back soon, okay?" I was silent.I heard him sigh and step out the car, and then I heard the door close.
