1964the early mornings of new orleans were delightful for the johnson family. they all wake up, eat breakfast, get ready for the day then head of to school or to their jobs.
'breakfast is ready.' mary the mother yelled from downstairs.
as all of the kids walk downstairs and settle down in their chairs an hour before school, they decide to talk about the day.
'well i'm going to baseball practice after school because i made the team.' gabriel said in happiness eating his grits. which made y/n wonder if he will be accepted or not, since its a white team.
'im just going to school then heading to work.' y/n said in frustration, she does the same thing everyday but things could be worse.
'going to work too.' piper said looking at y/n in no emotion.
after eating her breakfast, putting her clothes on and getting her things ready, y/n got on the bus down the street from her and sat down. she noticed two white boys looking at her with pity and like they wanted to talk to her, but they couldn't and shouldn't. she didn't care though because it happens alot.
————
everyday y/n walks into school it's basically the same thing. some white people look at her because the school is in a white part of an neighborhood and she is one out of fifthteen blacks that go to the school.
'well well well. look what we got here, a weirdo.' a voice said to the darkskin girl washing off her face in the bathroom. all of the other voices laughed
y/n stays quiet like she is taught, even though she wanted to jaw them with her fist.
the four girls that always tease y/n are known as the beautys. the girls of the group are known as loren gray, sophia lillis , sadie sink & maya hawke.
'oh course she doesn't speak, she loves giving the slien-'
'do you have any better to do then attack me all the time.' y/n spoke looking directly in lorens blue orbs with anger.
'oh so the thing does speak.' maya laughed off.
the darkskin doesn't wanna deal with their drama today so she bumps into some of them and goes out of the bathroom walking to her merit class. she is the only black race in her classes since she is very smart and most people don't even want her in the classes, maybe not even the school.
finn wolfhard was hanging with his friends at his locker when y/n walked into the class beside the locker.
'who put poison in your breakfast.' wyatt yelled at her and jack laughed.
finn, jaeden, and millie stayed quiet and didn't laugh at all, they knew that blacks shouldn't be treated the way they do. most whites actually chilled down and accepted the blacks, but some quite didn't yet and weren't planning too.
y/n sat down at the back table of the room and got her books out before the bell rings in a couple of minutes. she wanted to break down and let her emotions out but she knew she couldn't since people including the beauty's will laugh at her.
when finn walked into the classroom, he walked passed the darkskins table and mumbled a sorry. y/n understood what he meant, even though she didn't trust him yet.
throughout the whole school day y/n felt miserable, it wasn't new to her so she just kept it cool. walking to the back of the building
after every 5th period, y/n meets up with her friend millie in the back of the school where nobody goes to meet up, or even goes at since nobody really knew about it.
'hey y/n how are you.' millie said sitting down.
'okay i guess.' y/n said reading her social studies book, not looking up at the british girl.
'okay.. yes i know i say this everyday but i am so sorry about all of this, only if we could change everything. but we can't and thats why makes me upset. we have to meet up back here since some people wouldn't accept black and whites hanging out, and y'all are treated bad by some because of a skin color. thats pure disrespect.' millie ranted writing down her math paper.
y/n pretended to read the social studies book but she actually listened to millie, she wanted to be accepted to hang out with more whites often but thats not how things work down here.
'jaeden and finn also feel bad too.' millie said which caught y/n's full attention.
'who?' y/n said pretending to not know who finn & jaeden are.
'you know the curly headed boy and the other tall boy with not so curly hair.' millie said with a smile
those were the boys that always watched y/n enter the bus, every morning before school.
'oh now i know, but loren likes finn so i don't wanna get in that way.' y/n quietly said as the 4 minute warning bell ranged.
millie and y/n went their separate ways to their classes.
————
after school, y/n went back home and greeted her mom with a hug and then went to put on her work clothes.
its basically a dirty dress, and a apron with the name tag of y/n.
'hey hunny someone is knocking at the door can you go get it.' mary the mother yelled as she was cleaning the house.
'okay mother.' y/n yelled going towards the front door.
y/n was just as confused on why anyone would knock at the door, father was at work and was staying late, gabriel was at baseball practice, and piper already went to work.
when y/n unlocked the front door and opened it, the first things she heard was.
'hello y/n.'
