Taraji Parker.The girl nobody thought of,but she likes it that way,no distractions....ever, until he came along , Cole Newman.
Her childhood friend and crush since she was in fifth grade,but he left her and her feelings.
Now he's back like nothing...
Taraji Yayra Abudu , my freaking name.Thats not my adopted name though.Here in Chicago,I'm called Taraji Parker.I don't know much about my name cause am an orphan,but I think it has some African origin, well because I'm also black.
My life is okay considering I have awesome foster parents. Mom and Dad are amazing,they make me happy and comfortable and I love them just as my real parents.
So I'm sixteen and I go to Ridgewood high.Lets just say that place is literally hell on Earth. First of all everybody there hates me, everybody except my bestie Judith Anderson.Judy is like the best ever,she supports me even though people tend to hate her because she hangs out with me.So it's just me and her.High schoolers are mean and that's what has made me so tough.
So it's Monday morning and I'm ready for school waiting for Judy so we can walk together.After a while I see her stomping towards me in the grumpiest way ever,but still beautiful. I'm guessing she had a rough morning. "Whyy?!" she exclaimes. "Well,good morning to you too Judy Moody".She rolls her eyes and points to her shoes.She was wearing her red balenciaga speed trainers.They were muddy and that's unusual because Judy is neat and a fashion freak.She ain't wearing that unless it's the new trend.
"Anita Park ",and I understood. Anita Park was our bully,our worst enemy.She's usually out to get Judy cause she's threatened by her.I know she is.Anita Park always tries to look sleek...i mean she OK,but Judy...daaammmnn,Judy's on fire.Even though the whole school is against her, she's a fashion role model for most of the girls in our school.But Anita wants it all for herself.Thats all she ever thinks about...her,her,her,her and oh,did I forget to mention her.Knowing Judy,she ain't gonna go to School like that.So I hold her hand and drag her in my house.
"C'mon,you can wear one of my shoes" ,I say.
"Ugghhhh",she moans and rolls her eyes.
"Hey!,what's that supposed to mean"
"Seriously Raj,I'd be damned if I find anything to wear in your closet"
"Shut up,it's not costume dress up it's just shoes...besides it's better than muddy shoes"
After 15 long minutes,Judy decides to wear the white Adidas kick and it goes really well with her outfit.

"What did I tell you",I say as we're heading out of my room.
"Well,you learnt from the best" she says pointing to herself.
We both laugh and her mood was better.Judy's mood swings are so annoying and adorable.
"Taraji,you're still here?",Dad's voice echoed from the kitchen.
"Yeah,I'm just leaving ",I was about to make a 100 yard dash outta there when Dad walked in on us.
"Mr.Parker,Good morning" Judy shakes my Dad.
"You better get going before you get late",Dad warns.
"Ok,thanks Dad",I say as I rush out waving him.
*******************************
"Hey,how did Anita make your shoes so dirty",I ask as we're walking to school.
"She pushed me and my precious shoes crashed into a pile of it.Then she got into her car and sped away before I could get to her."
"Typical Anita."
"And she just had to push me into it on the day I wore my balenciaga."
"We're talking about mud here right" I ask.
Just then Judy starts laughing so hard people start to stare at us.
"Juuddyyyy,I put those in my closet",I pout.
She still keeps on laughing annoyingly until I can't help it and we're both laughing on the street together.
