India in MM India's POV Today was the day I was starting my senior year at a brand new high school. I moved to Chicago just two weeks ago, I'm originally from Atlanta but my mother passed away in a car accident over the summer so I came here to stay with my dad. I was really not feeling the move at all seeing as me and my father never really clicked like that but it was either this or my lame ass Auntie's crib. My mother and father were never married , they had me when they were both 17 and still in school , my dad caught a case and was locked up for 5 years and my mother dropped out of school to raise me. We had it hard honestly but somehow she always made a way. When my father got out of jail he was in and out of my life , he moved to Chicago and fathered 3 more children. My relationship with my father never really bothered me because my mom really held shit down and taught me that we don't need niggas for NOTHING! When my mother passed I was completely devastated, I honestly didn't know what to do with myself, my father came to the funeral and told me how much he wanted to really make up for lost time. I wasn't feeling it at first but then I thought about my younger siblings and how I would like to be around them more. So boom , now I'm here in Chicago. It's the first day of school and I decided to wear something simple. I opened my closet and took out a few options. I decided on a cute shirt , and some jeans , with some cute vans to match. I did my edges , put my lashes on and took a quick picture. "INDIA! Come eat some breakfast!" My dad yelled. I made my way downstairs to see my younger brother Malik already finished with his plate, and my little sisters Nia, and Nicole playing with theirs. I sat down at the huge kitchen table and the maid Juanita came and sat down a plate of bacon, eggs, and grits , with orange juice on the side. I thanked her and began to eat just as my dad walked in from the living room. My dad was smooth as hell, he had all the women drooling over him, he was a big time drug lord, he never hid what he did from me mainly because he knew I would find out eventually. He told me when I got here two weeks ago what to do if anything happened to him. He had a stash of cash hidden away in my grandmothers house, no one knew where it was except me and him. He wanted me to take the money and find somewhere safe for me and my brother and sisters to go. I agreed and seeing as I'll be 18 in a few weeks I would be grown. "Hey babygirl" my dad said as he kissed my forehead. "Hey dad" I said as I got up to put my plate in the sink. "You ready for your first day?" "I'm a little nervous but it's no biggie , I'll be okay" I replied while putting my books into my Gucci book bag. "Good , you know if you have any problems I'm just a text away, make sure you keep that taser I got for you in your purse, and don't forget to pick your brother and sisters up from school." I laughed at how fatherly he was trying to sound but I nodded my head and told my brother and sisters to get there stuff so we wouldn't be late. "I call shotgun!!!!!!" Malik yelled and ran to the car garage. He was 10 and Nia and Nicole were 7 and 8. We all hopped into my brand new white Range Rover. (It was a gift from my dad when I moved up here) "Alright , y'all put y'all seatbelts on." "Sissy , can you play some real gangster shit" Nia said out of no where. I laughed so hard ,"Girl watch yo mouth! But I got you" I turned the radio to YNW Melly's Virtual (Blue Balenciagas) and blasted it. We were all rapping the lyrics and bopping our heads. About 10 mins later I pulled up to their school, we said our goodbyes and I pulled off to the high school. As I was riding through the parking lot all eyes were on my ride, my Daddy sure knows how to make sure your seen. After about 5 mins I finally found a park, I checked my hair and applied more lipgloss and stepped out my ride. "Damn Ma , who you? Where you come from?" Some lil ugly ass boy with dreads asked while his friends laughed, I ignored them completely and continued walking. As soon as I stepped in the school I instantly smelled weed, that's Chicago for you. I went up to the office and told the lady I was a new student. "Ahh yes Ms. Royale, I've got your transcripts from your previous school right here along with your schedule. I will have one of your fellow seniors to show you around a little bit."

A few minutes later a light skinned girl with long weave and face full of makeup and curves to die for showed up at the office door. "Hey Ms.Fletcher, if you wouldn't mind could you please show Ms.Royale around." The girl looked at me and smiled "Wassup my names Ariana, everybody calls me Ari." "My names India , nice to meet you. Here's my schedule", she looked at the schedule and started jumping up and down, "Ahh shit girl we got 3rd period Chemistry and lunch together, lemme give you a tour of the place." We walked through the whole school taking up most of first period , Ari seemed kinda cool, I wasn't here to make friends but she could potentially be someone I associate with. All throughout the tour little thirsty ass niggas kept whistling and spitting lame ass game on us, we laughed at them most of the time. After the tour, we waited the 10 mins for the bell to ring for 2nd period. "Well now you know your way around a little bit I'll see you in Chemistry. Good luck!" I waved bye to her and walked to my 2nd period which was Business Admin, I walked in and found a seat near the front. The class went by pretty fast , it was so boring seeing as on the first day they mainly just go over rules. Third period came by pretty fast, me and Ari sat together as lab partners and whispered the whole time, she was really cool. Then the lunch bell rang, me and Ari walked into the cafeteria together and it seemed like everybody couldn't stop staring, I even noticed some girls giving us stank looks. Just as I was about to walk through the lunch line I got bumped into hard as hell. "Damn man, I know you saw me standing here!" Ari in MM
