Mama (Shandra)

Here in rehab is depression. These bitches took away my cigarettes and my last blunt. I cried for many hours. Every week I have to listen to bitches complain and talk about how they want to stop the pain in their life and how they want to be with their kids. Fuck that. The last place I wanna be is with my kids. They will be okay.

"Okay my little sunshine and rainbows. Today we have a new member her name is Tammy." The supervisor Claire announced through the speakers. "Let's gather around the lobby to meet her." I groaned. This place I swear is hell.

I got dressed rapidly in some khaki pants, a blue checkered shirt, and some flats. The outfit was ugly as hell but I wore what the facility provided. Everyone was crowded in the lobby. I stood by this man who I heard had an addiction with meth for over thirty years, his teeth were black and chipped. I sighed as the new member entered the room with three suitcases. Everyone one , especially the men, gasped. She was...pretty.

At school wasn't much. I barely had friends. Plenty boys flirted and I denied. I just sat with Candice and Shayla. Tyler had friends of his own. Shayla's baby bump started to grow. Nasty looks went our way. I felt uncomfortable.

"Lets eat somewhere else." Candice suggested basically reading my mind. I nodded. The three of us moved to a loud and rowdy table with straight up niggas and hoes. We still got the dirty stares unfortunately.

"Damn who these hoes think they is sittin round' the OG table." Dayssia, one of the nastiest girls I know said with a scowl on her face.

"Ion know but they fine. Well, the pregnant one ain't." One boy rudely replied. Shayla's light skinned face darkened with anger. I don't blame her.

" That's that stupid shit." Candice said rolling her eyes. Dayssia flipped her weave and approached us.

"What you say lil red?" She said referring to Candice's comment. She shrugged.

"I wasn't talking to you obviously," Candice said. Usually Candice just lets bitches walk all over her, not today.

"Oh shit she finally stepping up." Dayssia laughed.

"Was shit funny?"

"What?"

"What? What? Bitch Ian stutter. Get cho bald headed ass on lookin like the great american eagle." Me and Shayla cracked up. Along with the bystanders. Dayssia got mad and simply walked away.

"Candice you won that shit." Shayla said smiling. She smiled too.

"She know better not to fuck with a quiet girl anyway. I'm like a silent killer."
