Chapter 1: Where it all began
Robyn POV
I seriously don't want to get up right now. He gets on my fucking nerves! Waking me up at 4:30 in the morning because he wants some fucking coffee. Make it yourself asshole!
I tugged the blanket higher even though I was burning from the Southern Heat. Living in South Mississippi was fine and all during the winter but Summer meant it was time to migrate North like the fucking birds.
I kicked the blankets off when he called for me again and just laid there in the following silence. He went outside to wait for his coffee. Ma turned over and went back to sleep. Truthfully I'm glad he asked me instead of Ma. She hadn't been getting a lot of sleep lately due to back pain and arthritis.
I made my way into the kitchen using my stealth skills to get in and out of there quick. I put the coffee on and laid down for another hour and a half of sleep. I had school today and it was the first day of Senior Year.
I closed my eyes and opened them again just as quickly. And hour had passed without me knowing and my alarm was already blaring. I hit the snooze so that I could time myself. Every weekday I would time myself to see how long it took me to dress and get out the door.
I beat my last record of 8 min and 5 seconds today by a whopping 3min.
I was out the door by 6:40am rushing to get down the road to the bus stop. I wanted to get the day over with and see all the new people that downgraded to this swamp.
As I waited for the bus, I saw Zeke. She was the only person I spoke to at the bus stop. She stopped next to me and started talking about her summer break. I wasn't interested but I listened. She finally cooled her jets when the bus showed up. Thankfully we didn't sit together.
I sat with my friend Kali and we rode in silence. Both of us too engrossed in our music. We reached the school just in time for the doors to open. I was off quick to get in line for breakfast.
It wasn't always great food but for some reason, on the first day, it was awesome every time.
French toast stix with maple syrup and yogurt covered my tray and I was in heaven. I ate in record time and headed towards the gym. School didn't officially start until 8:00 am. I had half an hour to talk to my bestie, Natalie.
She sat waiting as always with her black jacket zipped and her hair in a half up half down style. It never failed to amaze me how long her hair was. Being a black girl with a natural afro, I always wanted to have longer hair.
I sat and as soon as my ass hit the concrete, she began talking. There is one thing about Natalie that you need to know. This bitch can talk. She told me 5 different stories that all connected to one and still had time to tell me one more before we separated for our classes.
The bell rang and we had five minutes to get to class. By 8'clock sharp, we were learning new shit that had nothing to do with my major or what I wanted to do later on in life. Thankfully I had only to spend an hour and 40min in this class before leaving to my next. I'm not going to bore you with the detail you probably already know but I will tell you that my new teacher is a nice piece of eye candy. Blonde short cut hair and bright blue eyes could bring any girl to her knees. It doesn't help that his voice is deep but not too deep and it just makes you wanna listen to him.
Sadly that was only my first class of the day so far. My next class was okay, I guess. I honestly don't know because I slept through most of it. It was only Government.
My third and longest class of the day was Powerlifting. Here I could unwind and get lost in the sweat and music as I lifted my body weight or more. I also got to look at a lot of toned and fit bodies while I was at it. The girl's powerlifting team was a sight to behold.
Thick was the uniform and clothing was scarce. The room had no windows and only one fan that circulated hot air. We sweated and there was no modesty. It was just us and no one else. We just wanted to be stronger and more fit as some of us were on the track to losing more weight. We didn't starve ourselves and we weren't going to start. Lunch was this block as well and the thought of food also motivated me.
Sadly I had to wait until 4th wave to eat. It was worth it though. Fourth wave lunch got all the lefovers and whatever extra that had to be cooked. This meant that we got extra food. I sat with Kali, Rae, Natalie, and Anastasia for lunch. We were a group and we were individuals. Rae left us to go sit with Maya after awhile and Stasia left us to go back to the library. Kali left to go to her Robotics class to work on a project. Natalie stayed with me only because she doesn't eat school food and she stays to herself a lot so she doesn't really talk to anyone. We were the same in that aspect. That and the fact that we were both a part of the LGBTQ+ community. Natalie has a girlfriend and some of her stories included her as well. I on the other hand had no one and didn't want to have anyone from here. I love my city and my state but the people here just...... well they live here.
To fully introduce myself, my name is Rosslyn. I am a Powerlifter, Cadet, bisexual, and a virgin with some questionable tendencies.
This is me and this is the story of how I met Him.
