Ch. 1: Lets Get This Over With

*Ameriss in MM*

AMERISS

  I woke up this morning not really feeling like i needed or wanted to do shit..

"Ameriss! Come on down here girl before your breakfast gets cold!" my grandma yelled.

"Yes Ma'am!" I said.

 I threw my legs over the bed and stuffed my feet in my favorite slippers. before i stood up i had to tell myself today was gonna be a good day. 

I always had to repeat that in my mind through out the day. It's all about the perspective you start with and lord knows i damn sure didnt wanna have a bad day.

"Good morning granny, what you in here cooking ? smells bomb." 

She laughed at me and shook her head,

 "wheres the damn bomb little girl?! I made salmon and grits with peppers and onions, gone head and eat cause you dont need to be late for school. i know you only got a month left but you still need to practice punctuality."

I sighed, i hated that damn school and all the crack babies that went there. I go to a school name R.D high, it's right in the middle of north charleston.. that's where i'm from. 

This year is my senior year and i'm so happy to be getting up out of there.

 " i know granny but ain't none of them teachers care anyways, e always empty in the classes the kids don't care anymore." i said. 

she sucked her teeth real loud ," girl you ain none of them churn they so you need to hush em up! go head a wrench off ya body cause i dont wanna hear no more of this sideways shit you speaking."

I had to laugh, I only get on her nerves so i can hear that Back Da Green come out of her, she tried to act all saditty but her tale was right from downtown charleston , heart of the ghetto , BTG. 

Miss thing is a legend round there, but got me living on the damn macon. My neighborhood was full of crack infested homes, and hoes with loose pussy tryna get a high. I knew as soon as i got done with school i was gonna be out of here .

I went upstairs to handle my hygiene, i shower twice a day cause nobody has time for a funky cootie, brushed my teeth and exited the bathroom with enough time to get dressed and stop by the corner store.

I decided to put on a half blue half tan body con dress and some flip flops, the spring weather kinda just cranked back up and i'm super ready for it to get here.

I stood and stared at myself in the mirror. I had to do that daily because my self esteem was low on the slick.

 i held my head high in public and you would never know, but that's my little secret and i plan to hide it until i can fix it.So i put on my "i'm cute af" face and headed out the door.

I cranked up my car and let it warm up, i drive a little ford focus 2002.. yeah it ain't much but its better than walking and i'm not ungrateful for anything my granny does for me.

You're probably wondering where my parents are... well my mama somewhere on a carta bus bench probably looking for her pimp, and my daddy somewhere cross the country playing house with a leeeetle bity white bitch whos name is Sarah. that hoe got 4 kids, and my daddy abandoned me to take care of hers. 

dumb bastard. anyhow fuck them i got my granny and thats all that matter!

i pulled up to the corner store, making sure my ankles wasnt ashy cause a sexy nigga is here pumping some gas. 

As i take in his looks i realized its this well known dealer named Adonis. And good GOD was he a god. i knew better though, so i hopped my ass out to grab my big mama and salt n vinegar chips so i can get to this wack ass school.

I guess lil zaddy took a notice to me cause his eyes were hooked to ya girl. i played it off like ine even see it and continued my business. By the time i got back outside he was already gone. i was slick disappointed but like i said, I KNOW BETTER.

I got in my car and drove the short 5 minutes to this hell hole. Being 17 , about to graduate high school, you'd think i'd know what i wanna do with my future but i don't. 

i know i wanna make easy fast ass money. i just gotta get creative with my approach...
