[Craig--->]

"Its alright, I'm not dangerous. When you're mine, I'll be generous."

I awoke to the song "Fine China" by Chris brown, blasting from my phone speaker. I immediately got out of bed and opened the shades as the sunlight illuminated my room. Its gonna be a great first day, great. We just moved to Florida from Pennsylvania and I'm happy. We live close to the beach which means girl's with beach bodies, thank the lawd.

After making my bed, I walked to my bathroom and took a shower. I came out with a towel around my waist and began looking for clothes as my mom came in.

"Craig, you're just getting out of the shower. Hurry up, you're going to be late the first day. Don't forget you have to babysit your brother and sister today." she grouched, I immediately looked up from my dresser at her. That was definitely not in any of my plans for today.

"But ma-" she cut me off.

"Don't but ma me Craig, I have a very long, straining, and important meeting today at work. Don't be surprised, you're babysitting them today, no if, ands, or buts." she walked off as I sighed going back to searching for something to wear.

I picked out a black T-shirt, my black Parent Discretion beanie, my golden chain necklace, skinny jeans and my black and white Jordan's 23 Retro shoes.

After grabbing my backpack and phone I headed downstairs to the kitchen, then my mom blew the horn, signaling for me to hurry up. God, she's so impatient. My dad had already left for a business trip on Friday and its Tuesday so he'll be back tonight. I grabbed my lunch and headed out the front door.

I got into the passenger side of my mom's Mercedes Benz as she hurriedly put it in reverse and backed out of the driveway.

"Mom, why are you always in such a hurry?" I asked. She glared at me then rolled her eyes.

"You're always making me late." she said turning up the radio, popping in the Drake CD, signaling for me to hush. So rude.

"Oh yeah, everyday we have to listen to Drake. Nobody listen' to Drake ma. That's why I got you the Chris brown album." I complained, starring out the window. She always ruins my day, I'll be glad when I move out.

We pulled up to the school entrance as a bunch of teens were heading in. I kissed her cheek and hugged her, waving by to my little brother Mickel and sister Serenity. I got out and closed the door as she let down the window.

"And don't be bringing none of those hoochie mama's to my house, Craig." I walked away. "Did you hear me!?" she yelled from the car.

"Yes ma'am, dang! You can leave now." I shouted walking into the gates as she sped off. Its going to be a long day.
