After It All

Chapter 1- Fatima

Fatima’s P.O.V:

This morning didn't start off on a good note. I was the last one in the shower which meant the water was freezing and I almost screamed. I missed the bus, and both my parents and older brother were already gone, which meant I had to walk. I don't care about being late, though. Actually, I love being the last one to first period. I get to be the center of attention when the teacher asks, “Fatima, why are you late, and, where is your pass?”

Right now I’m walking to my locker. I turn round the corner, and there's a girl next to my locker. I’ve seen her multiple times round the school. Like in a few of my classes, in the hallways, at lunch, and, now, by my locker. She has brilliant caramel skin, a heart-shaped face, a stud piercing in her nose, and hipster glasses that sit atop of her nose. She's wearing a blue polo with a cardigan on top, black skinny jeans, and a pair of moccasins. I could see she was shorter than me by maybe a few inches. I’m 5’4, dark skinned, hazel eyes, and dark hair that stops right below my shoulder.

I have one dimple and wear my weave in braids. For the most part I look similar to Coco Jones. At the moment I was wearing a navy blue cardigan, white skinny jeans, and black timberland boots. This girl was in my way. I didn't even say excuse me as I strolled over and bumped right into her. She scoffed, but I could care less. It was the beginning of the day, I was tired, and I just wanted to get this day over with. The girl, who’s name I didn’t know, kept glaring at me, but it didn’t bother me one bit. I liked the attention. I just took my white MK book bag out of my locker and continued down the hall to meet Omega & Nakya for gym class. Today was just not my day .
