This morning I went to school and made up all the work I missed from last week since I was working

Rocky: hey Aaliyah

I was writing on a paper doing my work then I look up at her

Aaliyah: oh hey

Rocky: I called you last week about you know...for fun but you didn't answer

Aaliyah : oh yeah forgot to tell you I'm dating someone

Rocky: what who??

Aaliyah: you don't know him plus he's 25

Rocky: 25!!

Everyone looks at us

Aaliyah: shhhh!

Rocky: sorry..how did you fall for a 25 year old?

Aaliyah: well I got a job that's why I wasn't here last week and he hooked me up with a career and basically we talked a lot and we're alone most of the time so yeah I guess I fell for him

Rocky: oh ok

Aaliyah: you can't tell no one alright

Rocky: got it!

I smiled at her and continued with my work

After school...

I was walking home and saw something outrageous, it was two cops beating a little kid that looked about my age when my moms died

Aaliyah: stop!

I tried to help him up but one of the cops pushed me outta the way

Cop1: get out of here before we start beating you too girl!

Little boy: awe awe help!!

Cop2: shut up you little nigger!

He kicks the boy in the stomach

Aaliyah: stop he's just a boy!

One of the cops slap me across the face and I fall

Cop1: I told you girl to mind your own business before we lock you too!

Aaliyah: fuck you!

I spit on his face

Cop1: that's it!

He starts beating me with the baton and before you know it I was knocked out

About 15 minutes later...

I woke up in a cell and had a headache then I turned around and see the little boy that was getting beat crying in the corner

Aaliyah: hey

Boy: *sniffs* hey..

Aaliyah: why did they beat you?
