"What's the longest you and Honey ever went without talking?" Smokey asked bouncing the ball.
"Em. Imma say that month...lemme tell you what this lil childish ass lil girl did. So.." ••••• People in poetry club clapped as Honey made her way to the front of the classroom. This was her first time doing a poem in a while and she was nervous.
"You'll be fine. Just take your time and let it flow." Mrs Dydo said and Honey nodded.
"Hey my name is Aaliyah and this is my poem. It's called Fuck Depression." she started and they clapped.
"I bet you're under the impression that I have this fetish of cutting the flesh but that ain't it 'cause fuck depression I bet you're under the impression that you can't help yourself because ain't nobody here to help but that ain't it 'cause I'm a helping hand I bet you're under the impression that it ain't happy endings and that cutting is gonna be the way you end it but that ain't it 'cause I've been there before dear depression, fuck you I got a life to live and I hope I live long 'cause Ian stressing this ain't no depression cutting ain't shit but a painful ass lesson now I bet you're under the impression that you'll be cured of that depression 'cause that's it 'cause every life is worth living and it ain't worth ending." she ended and the class erupted into claps causing her to smile before going back to her seat.
"What a way to end today. Aaliyah you have to come here more often." Mrs Dydo smiled.
"I definitely will." she said and the bell rang letting them know it was time to go. She was kinda happy to be back in school. She got tired of cleaning the same things that were already clean just because she was bored.
Walking outside the school, she spotted Aiden's car and ran over to him hugging him. She missed him dearly so when he reached out to her on Instagram she was happy and agreed to hang out with him.
"I missed you so much." she said kissing and pinching his cheek.
"Come on. Chill with that gay stuff." he said pushing her off him.
"Don't do me like that." she said getting in the car.
"Whatever. What's been up with you?" he asked getting in the car as well.
"Nothing much. I've been at school and working. Good thing I'm off today." she rolled her eyes.
"Oh word? Look at you growing up. Where you work at?" he smiled. He was happy for his lil sister.
"Finish Line in the mall." she said typing on her phone.
"Ooh you better get me some shoes too." he said rubbing his hands like bird man.
