Just When 17 year old Jennifer Matthews looses all hope for love until badass 17 year old Antonio Gonzalez crosses her path for the first time and everything changes
I get into the shower and just stand there letting the hot water run down my body. I just can not believe that all of this is happening to me. I know I didn't have the perfect life but at least it was halfway decent. I don't know I guess it's just crazy to me how you whole life can just do one big 360. I never want to leave this shower this is the only place where I don't have to worry about real world problems. I finish washing up and I got out of the shower and stared at myself in the mirror. If this were a movie I would break out into singing a song about how sad I am but this is the real world so unfortunately there isn't always a happy ending.
When I got back to my room I put some tights and a big t-shirt. Tomorrow I have to go back to school and my hair is not done so hopefully I can do that while Tony figures out who the peeping Tom was. I slide downstairs on the railing and walk to my dad's office where he is yet again yelling at one of his men. I cut him off , "Daddy I need like $60 to get my hair done." "Of course sweetie but I'm kind of busy right now. Go tell Tony to give you $100 from my bank account." He says with a big smile. I know I asked for $60 but I'm not gonna protest the extra money.
When I get back upstairs after like two years on those terrifying stairs I couldn't find Tony anywhere so I called him but he didn't answer. I started to worry but then I remembered he is literally in a gang he can handle himself. So I call Garbanzo Bean and he picks up. " what's up?" He says with a deep raspy voice. "I need $100 to get my hair done." I say patting my head. "Uh ok why are you telling me this?" He interrogates. "I asked my dad for it but he is busy so he told me to get it from Tony but I can't find him and you are the only other person I know here." I quickly say running out of breath. " Ok calm down jeez meet me in the kitchen." He says slowly in a soothing voice. "Ok bet." I say hanging up the phone.
I slowly walk down the stairs to the kitchen. "Ya know I think I deserve a darn cookie for getting down here with out freaking out." I mumble to myself. When I enter the kitchen I am greeted by the face of Antonio. "Here" He says giving me the money. "So where are you going to get your hair done? And how are you going to get there?" He asks. "In the city and I'll just take an Uber." I answer. "Oh no you are not." He exclaims in a stern voice. "Why are you gonna be too worried about me?" I ask with a smirk. "Ew no. If anything happens to you then your dad will literally kill everyone involved." He says with a confused look. Wow this is embarrassing. "What ever I'll figure it out. Thanks for the money." I rush out before quickly turning to exit the kitchen.
Before I could even get out of the door I stopped in my tracks when He said, "Don't be stupid just let me take you." I cackled so loud. "AHAHA you are really funny you know that!" I yell. "Buttercup Im Deadass..." And when he said that that's when I knew I should really go with him you know for safety reasons. So I did...NOT! "AH ya know as tempting as that sounds I'm gonna have to decline your offer but thanks." I say leaving the kitchen. We all know I should really go with him but I am just too stubborn so I couldn't let him be right...yes I let my pride get in the way. SUE ME IM HUMAN!
When I get to my room I order an Uber and then I put some slides on. A few minutes passed and then my Uber texted me letting me know that they were pulling up to the house. I leave the house and get into the car where I am greeted by a middle aged White male with a Freaking SOUL PATCH. Fun fact about me I can't take anyone serious who has a freaking soul patch so. tried so hard not to laugh. Thankfully he didn't ask me any questions we just went straight there with light traffic so that is good. I had to pay him more than I thought for the ride good thing I had a hundred...whew. When I got into the hair salon the secretary asked me what I wanted and in all honesty I didn't know. so I just said, "I would like to have a silk press." "Sure thing just have a seat in the first chair." The lady said with a smile.
While I got my hair washed I couldn't help but feel excited because I haven't had my hair straightened in like two years ever since I went natural. I mean I knew it grew so I guess I was just excited to see it. I was deep in thought until my phone buzzed.

I put him on DO NOT DISTURB. As you see I am doing my job as a teen and rebelling. The when the lady was done washing my hair I sat in another chair where all of the magic was bound to happen.
*ONE HOUR LATER*
I was in pure and utter sock when she spun the chair around. "OMG thats ME?" I said with a shocking tone. The hair dresser chuckled and confirmed,"Yes baby thats all you!" I couldn't believe it I actually looked... well HOT. Now don't get me wrong I never fully thought I was ugly but we all know know those girls who are just UNDENIABLY PRETTY like no one. NOT ONE SOUL could tell them otherwise. Thats how I feel right now. I am just so happy with this salon visit like the hairdresser really DID THE DARN THING.
As I sat in the chair taking pictures of me and my hang time the hair dresser walked over and said with a big smile, "I am so happy that you like your hair! Now that will be 80 dollars!" I stared at her on shock. It wasn't supposed to be this high and I still have to tip her. Oh God what am I gonna do about getting home? I start to internally panic but I quickly snap out of it when she coughs and says, "Umm Ma'am?"
"Oh uh... yes of course!" I rush out as I give her the money. She comes back with my change and as I expected I am left with 10 dollars. That won't even get me up the street let alone going back to my dad's house. I am now forced to go to my last resort. The phone is rings until he picks up the phone, "I'm on my way Buttercup just send me your location."
