In the Hood

Phoneix to LA

( Paris in photo ^ )
* FLASHBACK *

" have you even thought of the consequences " I asked my dad while following him down the stairs in our house .

" Paris I already made up my mind it's final ! We're leaving tonight whether you like it or not ! La will be your new home."

I ran back up to my room throwing myself on the bed . I thought to myself wtf ? La ? I lived in Phoenix. There's gangs out here but not to the point where you can get shot in daylight . I just turned 19 , I finished high school at 17 and went straight to dental school . I'm currently registered as a dental hygienist. My dad is a lawyer but I knew he had another job on the side , he would fly to la on the weekends because that's where he sold drugs . He was one of the biggest drug dealers there . He tried to hide it from me and my brother growing up until we had to send my mom to rehab because she got hooked on crack . After that my older brother Jamal left and I haven't seen him since .

I laid there thinking about how it would be once I moved until I fell asleep.

" Paris , wake up babygirl " my dads girlfriend Keisha said while shaking me .

Once I realized who it was I hopped up

Paris : bitch , don't touch me !

Keisha : Paris look me and your dad are together now and you gotta get used to it.

Paris : I don't gotta get used to shit . My mom will be home soon , now gtfo my room .

Keisha : yeah , we'll see * she said while walking out smiling *

I checked my phone it was 7:15pm we were leaving at 8:00pm so I had enough time to shower . I showered for about 20 mins . When I got out I put on my pink sweat suit and Uggs . It was summer time but I wasn't taking my chances of getting sick .

* FLASHBACKS OVER * two years later

... after being at the hair salon for two hours getting my 28 inch weave put in I decided to go to the mall . My bestfriend of two years birthday was today and I needed something to wear . Pulling up to the Fox Hills mall in my 2018 Black bens . I hopped out ready to hit every store .

45 minuets after shopping, I went to the food court to get some Panda Express . " Yes , A plate with chow mein, rice , honey walnut shrimp, and egg rolls "

?? : how you doing

Paris : not interested

?? : damn I don't understand why bitches be so stuck up .

Paris : bitch ? Nigga you ...

?? : sorry my friend Christian can't take being      turned down , I'm Demetrius * he said laughing *

I started to cuss him out too until we made eye contact. He was cute . He stood about 6'4 , . He was darkskin , and had tattoos all over his body .

Paris : I'm Paris . * I smiled *

Christian : oh but you'll talk to this nigga ? Come on bro we out

* Demetrius stared laughing *

Demetrius: I hope to see you again Paris

I just smiled as he walked away. I paid for my food and went on about my day.
