The Red Scarlett Letter (Urban)

Prologue

Scarlett Davis
2:33 P.M.

I took notes from my laptop as Mr. Henry, my professor, lectured us about god knows what. I stopped listening after he brought up out generation and how "useless" we were. He was so bitter for no reason. Honestly, I don't know how he got the job because he can't teach to save his life. I continued to copy down notes from the powerpoint I got from another biology professor. I needed to get my Bachelors of Science in Biology if I wanted to be a step closer to becoming a veterinarian.

The bell rung and I gathered my textbooks and laptop putting them away in my Victoria Secret tote purse. Once I walked out the double doors of Clark Atlanta University, I headed towards my two door Jeep Wrangler painted a chrome pearl. The three bedroom condo my best friends, Hazel and Serenity, and I rented was only a fifteen minute drive away and I was happy about it because I don't like long drives.

I arrived at our condo and killed the engine, greeting our door woman, Mrs. Debowitz. She smiled and greeted me as I did the same. I headed on up to our condo and went inside dropping my purse by the table beside the door. Pudding, our Pomeranian-Husky, made her way towards me and I kneeled down to kiss all over her face.

"My little pudding pie!" I cooed.

"I thought I was your little pudding pie." My best friend, Hazel said grinning.

"You're my little bitchy bit." I teased giving her a hug.

"Oh fuck you Scar." She laughed hugging me back.

Hazel and I have been friends since seventh grade. At first, we hated each other because she spilled milk on me at lunch and I accused of her doing it on purpose. Come to find out, she tripped over a milk carton. From then on out we became the best of friends then Serenity came along, her crazy ass was the last addition to our little group. We met Serenity in our freshman year of high school and these girls were trying to jump her because she had a slick mouth. Honestly, Serenity could've taken them on by herself but we intervened and it was history.

"I'm here bitches, a real bad bitch has motherfucking arrived!" Serenity exclaimed twerking in our living room.

"Aye aye aye go bitch!" I hyped her up as Hazel patted her ass repeatedly.

We all busted out laughing as Hazel and I pulled Serenity in for a group hug. No one could come in between us. We are the definition of inseparable.

"I missed you guys so much. Europe is not as fun as it seems but the girls up there are surely fun." She winked.

When Serenity came out to us, she was afraid we'd judge her. It didn't alter our view of her though. She was the same Serenity we became friends with and her sexuality wasn't going to change that.

"I'm sure they were you freaky bitch. I bet yo' pussy got carpet burn from all that rubbing you was doing."

I chuckled hard covering my mouth with my hand. "I hate you so much Hazel. Stop clowning our girl like that."

We enjoyed a little bit more time together until I retired to my room. I had to go to work in an hour and I wasn't allowed to be late again. I put my phone on the charger and took a shower. After I was done, I moisturized in all the right places with cocoa-butter infused lotion.

I grabbed by Nike duffle bag and stuffed it with my essentials before saying my goodbyes to the girls and heading out. They had no idea where I snuck off to every night and I wanted to keep it that way.

The drive to my job was short and I was there in no time, applying my makeup lightly for a soft glam effect. To top off the whole look, I smeared on a red lipstick from MAC. I rubbed my lips together and gazed at myself in the mirror feeling like the baddest bitch ever.
