For the first time in 2 years, I was walking into a public school. Me and my bestfriend Kylie. We were both homeschooled for multiple reasons. One, because of who our dads are. Two, because we were always on the go, we never stayed in one area for long. But, this time we were here to stay.
"You nervous?" I asked Kylie. She nodded. Me and Kylie grew up together, literally. I'm just 2 years older than her. She's in 10th and i'm in 12th.
"Hi, we are looking for Ms.Taylor." I said. "Right back there." The lady said. We nodded and walked to the back. "Hi, Ms.Taylor?" I asked. "That's me." She said. "My dad spoke to you on the phone, I'm Layla, this is Kylie." I said. "Oh right." She said. "My two homeschoolers." I nodded. "First, we are going to get your schedules, then I'm going to get someone to show you guys around, and to y'all first periods." She said. We nodded.
This will be our first time being separated. I sighed and looked at Kylie. She had a nervous smile. "Here we go." She said handing us two papers. I looked mines over and grabbed Kylie's looking hers over. We had 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 7th together. This was truly a blessing.
"Okay, so our honor student Devin will be showing you guys around." We nodded and stood up following the light skinned boy out. "Okay, so on your right is the library, when you turn to your right you'll get to the 100 hall, on the right is the 200, 300, and 400 hall. To get to the 500 hall, you go straight down any one of these halls. Follow me." He said. We did as told and we ended up on the 1100 hall. "Right here is the 1100 hall, mostly for seniors some others. Straight down here is the 600 hall, it's just 2 classes. Right over here, is the 700 hall. Once you walk through them door over there, you have reached the 900 hall. It's two of them. This is obviously the cafeteria, sometimes called the commons. Over there is the Gym." He finished. "Any questions?" He asked.
"Does a bell ring to know what class we go to next or something?" I asked. "You never been to public school?" I shook my head. "Well yes, it does. Every 45 minutes." He said. "Except 4th." He added. "Let me see your schedules." We handed it to him. "I'll show you yours first." He said to Kylie.
We walked over to the 400 hall and stopped at a door. "Ms.G, this is your new student. Kylie White." He said. "Hi." Kylie said shyly. "Welcome Kylie, come on in." She said. She turned to me and gave me a hug. "See you in 2nd." I said kissing her cheek. The door closed and we walked to the 100 hall and stopped in front of another class. "Ms.Dubois, this is Layla Brewster, she is your new student." He said. "Come on in Layla." I grabbed my schedule and walked in fully.
"Damn." Was the first thing I heard. "You can have a seat right there next to Jania. I sighed and sat down next to her. "What grade are you in?" Ms.D asked. "12th." I said. "What school you're coming from?" She asked. "I was um homeschooled for 2 years." I said. She nodded. "Well this is Spanish class, her are some things you should know." She said handing me some papers.
"We are just reviewing for a test, you don't have to take it." She said. I nodded.
After the bell rung, I was struggling to find my 2nd period. I was stopped by somebody grabbing my hand. "Look like you need help." I smiled and nodded. "I'm Gianni." She said. "Layla." I said. "You have Physical Science, it's this way." She said. I followed her and we were there in 2 minutes. "Ms.Thomas, this is Layla Brewster, your new student." She said. "Come on in." She said. I pushed my way through the crowd and sat down.
When Kylie came in and spotted me, she came over. "How you liking it so far?" I asked her. "It's okay, I like my first period." She said. "What do you have after this?" I asked her. "JROTC." She said. "I do too, who class?" I asked. "I have Major Arnold." She said. "I have Sergeant Robinson." I said.
"Okay class, we are going to be reviewing for the test tomorrow." She said loudly. "My two new students, just listen and follow along if you can, i'll meet with y'all after i'm finished." We nodded.

"Daddy?!" I yelled. "I'm upstairs." He yelled back. I walked into his bedroom and seen my stepmom Lauren on the bed. "Hey ma, hey dad." I said. "Hey, how was your first day of public school?" He asked me. "I liked it." I said.
"Especially ROTC, my favorite class." I said. I handed him papers that needed to be signed, and the ROTC dues. "I love you." I said kissing his cheek. "Wait, what you want for dinner?" He asked. "Hm, you can cook some Salmon please." I said. They both nodded. I walked over to Lauren and rubbed on her stomach. "Can't wait til she's here." I said.
"I'll be in my room with Kylie." I said. They agreed and I walked out into my room. "You have homework already?" I asked. "No, I was just looking over some things." She said. I nodded.
"Met anybody?" I asked. "Well, there is this one girl I kinda grew to like." She said. "Her name is Gianni." She said. "That's the girl I met also." I said giggling. "Layla?!!!!" I jumped up running into their room. "Can y'all run to the store and get the things to make dinner?" I nodded and grabbed his card leaving out. "We have to go to the store come on." I said. She nodded and stood up grabbing her phone.
The only reason we don't get asked, "Is Dave East your dad?" or "Is Moneybagg Yo your dad?" Is because our dad don't post us on social media's like that anymore. When we were kids they did.
"What your mom cooking?" Kylie asked. "Salmon, you wanna stay?" I asked. "Of course." She said. I nodded. My biological mom died of cancer two years ago. That was another reason I was homeschooled, somebody had to stay home and watch her. My mom and dad were never together, they were just coparenting.
My dad and Lauren been dating for 4 years now, he want to propose but scared to do it. Kylie's mom is still alive, she's just hooked on drugs. And she is somewhere back in New York. Her dad has a girlfriend named Nicole. Kylie likes her, but not too much. She still waiting on her mom to get better.
We finally made it to the store, and we grabbed a cart. "Salmon, seasoning, rice and butter." I read the message. As we grabbed the things, I ran into somebody's hard chest. "Ow." I said. "I'm sorry." I said before looking up making my eyes widened. "Oh my god." I said lowly. Kylie turned around and squealed. "NBA Youngboy." I said smiling hard as fuck. "That's me baby." He said. "Can I get a picture?" I asked. He nodded and wrapped his arm around my waist. I gave Kylie the phone and she snapped the pictures. I turned to my right giving him a full hug.
"Huge fan." I said. "And she's not kidding." Kylie butted in. "3 whole playlist with your name on it." She added. I chuckled and looked back up. "What's yo instagram?" He asked me. "laaydadoll, two a's and D-A." I said. He nodded typing it in. He showed me and I assured him that was me.
"You look familiar." He said. "My dad is Dave East." I said. "That's why, tell him I said what's up." I nodded. Hearing somebody call his name he turned around. "I gotta go, but DM me later." I nodded and watched as he walked off.
I turned towards Kylie and squealed. "Oh em geeee!" I squealed. We paid for our items and left the store heading home.
"Dadddy!!!!" I screamed. "Why are you yelling?" He asked. "Guess who we seen?" I said. "Who?" He asked. "NBA Youngboy!" I squealed. "He said what's up." I added after I calmed down. "So, your birthday coming up." My dad started. "What you wanna do?" He asked me. "Party." I said. "Beach party." I said. He nodded. I watched as Lauren prepared the food.
"I have to go, give me ride?" Kylie asked my dad. "Yea, what happened?" He asked. "Cari need a babysitter." She said. "They can come over here." My dad suggested. "Yes, I would love that." Lauren butted in.
Kylie stepped out and called her step mom back.
I walked upstairs to my room pulling out my phone seeing a DM.
