Kyla had both her arms on the sides of the sink for support as she stood with her eyes shut. Today was prom day and while most females at Midwood High School were excited for the start of the day, Kyla wasn't feeling it.

See today wasn't just prom day, today was also the day her parents had been killed five years ago. Thinking about the conversation she had with her brothers about how their parents would want them to be happy and continue on with their life.

Kyla was trying to stay strong simply for the fact that her parents would want her to be happy but she couldn't. What child could? She thought.

Standing there for what felt like eternity she took a deep breath before opening her eyes. She was going to be strong today.

Tiredly grabbing her toothbrush she began to start her morning hygiene.

After showering, she skimmed through her closet looking for something to wear as 'While We're Young' by Jhene Aiko played throughout her room.

Standing at five foot nine Kyla Barnes was stepping on bitches neck literally. She was far from average. From her height to her looks she was Bad Bitch and she made sure everyone knew it.

Kyla decided to do something simple since she would be getting her hair done later. She styled her curly mane into a simple sleek middle part low bun, fully displaying her heart shaped face. Her upturned deep brown eyes were doll like which complimented her pink bow shaped lips that were coated in lip gloss.

Grabbing her cocoa butter lotion and her Bare Vanilla Shimmer by Victoria Secret she mixed them in the palm of her hands before lathering it on to her smooth mocha colored skin.

"Toot you ready?" Kyla older brother Kyron yelled up to her.

"Yea Ron I'm coming now." Kyla said grabbing her keys and wallet as she texted her best friend and her boyfriend back.

Doing a once over in the mirror to make sure everything was right with her appearance. Kyla decided on a maroon sports bra and matching drawstring sweatpants with a stripe line detail on the side. Pairing the fit with her white and maroon Adidas Superstars.
