Keisha a 17 year old girl living in New York , goes through hard times and struggles when a random boy from Sherman High introduces her to a new environment and changes her life for the better.
Ever since Monday, i've been shooken up. My feelings are everywhere. Tyra still hasn't come to school and i feel like Daryl has been at my head ever since that day he walked up on me.
Here i am laying on my bed looking at the ceiling.
"Pops if your listening , i don't know what to do , i'm lost . Everything's falling down i really wish you were here".
I swear he was there, I felt him. Whenever i talk to my pops everything lightens up. I get up and brush my teeth and wash my face.
I throw on clothes and out the door i go. I need a walk to clear my head.Dee texted me but i didn't answer.
I start walking there it's dark and i'm kinda scared no lie. Normally around this time theirs police patrolling around catching the drug dealers, pimps out on the corners. All types of crazy shit. I wanna make it out i really do, just gotta find a way.

It's chilly i'm glad i got a hoodie. It's my pops, we use to wear the same hoodies because of how cold it is in New York. Also because we couldn't really afford to get clothes at that time. Pop always made a way though, mama didn't know where he got the money for groceries and new furniture , i'm starting to think she didn't even care. As long as we had food on the table and clothes on our back. I wonder how she's doing, we go see her tomorrow. I'm kinda nervous mainly because of how things ended before she left. I know she didn't mean what she said about me or half of the stuff she say to me. It's been hard times for all of us.

Me: Daryl ! About him, he keeps trying to get in my head. I'm getting sick of it somebody gotta stop him. I'm going crazy he keeps popping up and-
A black car pulls up on the curb , loud rap music plays from the inside. Daryl pops his head out the window.
