Life On The Plus Side

Chapter 1

Zaryah💋

Flailing my arms around, I reach for my phone to shut off that stupid alarm, only to be caught off guard and temporarily blinded by the intense light of the screen. Honestly, I don't believe that I should have to wake up this early just to be on time to a place I genuinely don't even want to be, at all.

Due to the fact that it is already 5:00 am, I get up swiftly knowing that I have to hurry the fuck up to try to look at least acceptable for that hell hole called school. They already have enough to insult me with, can't give them anymore.

Walking into my bathroom to handle my hygiene, I spent about 20 minutes in the shower followed by my usual morning routine which consists of brushing my teeth, making sure to brush my tongue as well 'cause I know some nasty ass bitches not be brushing their damn tongue, that shit looking all damn white and yellow. The shit makes my skin motherfucking crawl. I go on to do my facial routine and all that jazz.

Hearing music blaring from down the hall, I know my older sister is awake and is probably about to come and do some bullshit to piss me off this early morning. And honestly I don't have the energy to deal with her shit right now. Well I don't have the energy any time, but I'm pretty sure she knows that. She just couldn't give any less fucks.

I quickly throw on a comfortable outfit and was ready to go.

Leaving my room, I hurried downstairs, accidentally bumping into someone. I looked up to realize it was just my brother's fuck toy from last night. Me being me, I apologise just trying to be polite. But this idiot bitch wants to come at me sideways talking out the side of her damn neck.

She came at me with some "Watch where you're going you fat bitch!"

I just stood there looking her up and down, not even surprised.

"Ok. And?! Talking like I didn't already know that." I retorted rolling me eyes.

Looking behind the bitch I see my brother coming into the kitchen. He asked what the matter was. I informed him of what his little fuck toy just said.

"Aye! Chill with all that shit 'cause I honestly don't know what the fuck made you think yo ass could talk to her like that!" He replied angrily.

My childish ass just stood behind him poking my tongue out at her and laughing my ass off.

"Matter of fact, get the fuck out. You looking a bit too comfortable bro. Why the fuck you even thought you could stay long enough to meet my damn family?" He questioned. "Y'all bitches never learn and stay doing the absolute most." He said rolling his eyes. "You not about to come disrespect my damn sister either!" He concluded literally pushing this girl towards and out of the door.

"These bitches must've lost they damn mind!" He kind of mumbled returning back to the kitchen but I heard it. Looking at him, I just burst out laughing. After a few moment of him trying not to laugh, he ended up joining me.

"Y'all get the hell down here!" He yelled.

"Zawadi! I fucking know you ain't yelling in my damn house this early in the damn morning!" My mum shouted from her room upstairs.

"No... I'm sorry mama" he shouted back so she could hear.
I laughed, seeing how scared he was of my mum. "I'm ready to get the fuck....ASAP!" He stated in a more hushed tone than before.

Zain came down the stairs muttering a quiet and simple "good morning" to the both of us. We replied back.

That's the difference between Zawadi and Zain. Despite them being identical twins, they were polar opposites. Zawadi was a lot more loud and outgoing, fucking random bitches all the time. Whereas, Zain, was more quiet and reserved. He didn't speak to people much. But one thing they had in common; they would kill or die for the people they loved. And, even though Zawadi had this cold exterior, they both had really big hearts. That was just them.

Growing up, anytime someone said or did something that me, my sister or younger brother didn't like, Zawadi and Zain would take care of it. Either beat them up badly. Or if it was a girl, then Zawadi would usually get one, or some, of his hoes to jump them.

A few minutes later, I heard two sets of footsteps trodding down the stairs.

About 30 seconds later, I felt a little sting on both of my ears and I rolled my eyes preparing to turn around because I knew the culprits. I turned around with my hand swinging towards Zaida and Zion.

Zaida is my older sister and Zion is my younger brother. I already told y'all she was gon be on bullshit today.

We all made quick breakfasts, ranging from cereal to toast, to yogurt with crushed biscuits.

Our parents waltzed into the kitchen all hugged up and smiley with my mum being very giggly. I want that type of marriage. Since my parents have been together, they have never fallen out of love. Like all couples, they have had arguments, but never to the point of any of them leaving. And I really admire that. Regardless of whatever issue they faced, they were both willing to stay and try to fix it. That's that LOVE love.

"Good morning babies," my mum greeted us. We all replied back with with the same thing.

However, my dad being extra as hell, and wanting to do too much, greeted us with a "Morning hood rats."

We all instinctively rolled our eyes and sucked our teeth. My mum hit him on the chest and muttered, "Stop playing with my damn kids."

"Who the fuck you think you talking to lady?" My dad asked.

"I'm talking to you boy." My mum smartly responded.

"Ain't nothing 'boy' about me and yo ass know that. Or do I gotta remind you?" My dad retorted with a smirk on his face.

My mum sheepishly grinned and then quickly replaced it with the same smirk on her face that was on my dad's.

My siblings and I all sat there watching the whole thing go down, until we saw the faces they were making at each other.

That was our cue to head the fuck on out to school before we got scarred for life!
