I'm Maira, a senior in high school. I live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It's really nice here but it's very dangerous. Sometimes I like to explore with nature and figure out my purpose. I live with my mom but sometimes I go to Johannesburg to visit my father and it's kind of irritating cause I don't like choosing between people.
I have a boyfriend and he's really amazing. He's half Asian, and super HOT!!! We have matching necklaces and arm bands but that doesn't keep the girls away from him. He always tell's me I'm his forever. I'd like to believe so but sometimes I don't like being around him. He's too cocky and he doesn't get me. It's like every relationship I have with someone is bad. I wish I was still innocent. But anyway I could never regret meeting my best friend Erica, She's the best ever. Did I mention that she's my boyfriend's twin sister? Awesome right? I know!

"Hey pretty lady" said a voice somewhere. I don't think I've kept track of where I've been walking. I look around and at the corner of Bird Street, Central, I see a guy. Thuggish looking. He walks closer and speaks again; "you shouldn't be walking around this time of the night. Pretty ladies like you is what I'm thirsty for." I think he must've seen the horror in my eyes from the way he used the word thirsty in there.
He tries to grab my wrist and force himself on me but I just run as fast as I can. I know a gang I'm tight with closer to where I am but I can't go there. I don't want them at risk. I run into St. Georges Park - one of the most prettiest but dangerous parks in PE - I hide behind the wall of the cricket stadium. I still got bars left on my phone. I text Haroon, the leader of West Side Chillers, informing him that I'm in danger, I leave my phone's location on and before I know it...darkness fills my eyes and I'm put to sleep.
