Bad things happen.

They put us here on purpose.

Lyric Jackson

Hey Princess,

I went to the infirmary. I got into a fight! Don't worry about me & thanks for the money, it really saved me. I'll take care of you baby girl. You are the omega of my heart. I don't want us to grow apart.You are my heart in human form. After this is over, we can hang and get some chicken, we'll ride every RIDE at Coney until you get bored.

P.S: I'll buy you those big hoops you want, I think I want a Chia Pet. The thing on tv that goes, Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia.

He drew hearts all around it. His writing had got better, but they hurt him. I felt a pain in my chest, the fact that I couldn't be there for him.

It ruined me.

"Girl yo' hair is long," Rose brushed out my hair, glancing at my paper, "I hope he's okay, I'll put an extra $50 on his books for him, so he could take care of himself," she smiled, "you know he likes that chicken they been giving him, he thinks it's better than Kennedy's," we laughed. As long as I gave him something, it helped me know that he'd be a little safe.

"Dmirikel told me Raymond been eating them tacos, he almost spent like $50 of his money," Rose scoffed, Raymond always ate tacos. But it was different, just like Korey was eating the chicken. It made us feel closer to home.

"Let the man eat, you know he's hung- OW!" She started braiding my hair tight, Rose was the best braider in our area. She was just heavy handed.

"Let my man get what he wants," Dmirikel smiled, doodling in her notebook, "I'm paying for it, anyways"

"Wrong sis, we all helping each other, even Kevin & Antron," Monica smacked on her bubble gum.

"What's the 411?" Megan started stepping towards us, snapping her fingers like she was a pimp or something, "got any news?"

"Word on the block is that we got pasta for dinner, Trina picking fights with people but it's okay, and little miss Lyric is tender headed," she yanked my head back, I pursed my lips.

"She's gonna' look like all that and a bag of chips," Dmirikel snapped doing small poses while Monica smiled, fiddling with her hands.

"I just wanted two braids you doing extra, I don't want them tribal braids- ROSE!" She laughed while I swatted at her, I don't like when people do shit to my hair let alone touch it.

"I'm gonna' be a famous doing celebrities hair, like Whitney Houston, Salt-N-Pepa and Queen Latifah's. Now let me practice on your hair," I groaned, sitting between her thighs, I wish I knew how to braid well.

It would've took 10 minutes for two braids.

"I'll be dancing with Mc Hammer," Dmirikel tried moonwalking but ended up sliding her feet on the ground. Megan hit the cabbage patch while Monica did the sprinkler.
