Sacrifice

Chapter 1

Its six thirty am around the time my mom usually wakes me up for school, I just laid there in bed and waited for her to come bussing in the door yelling "get the fuck up you got school". Just as I began to continue my dream of being a nurse here she comes.

"Boom!! Get The Fuck Up You Got School" ma yelled

"I'm up already damn" I mumbled

" What the fuck you say"? Ma yelled louder

"Nothing" I said

I was so not in the mood this morning, my stomach was hurting so bad from last night I think I ate too much. But I'll be alright its time to introduce my self to my mirror like I do every morning so I can never forget who I am or where I came from.

My name is Zaraiah Shanay Lee I am a senior in highschool, I'm 18 years old and my goal is to become a nurse, have one kid, own 2 houses, own 2 cars, & a wonderful marriage. I live with my parents, and i have one sister. We live in Atlanta, in a big ass house with 5 bed rooms, 3 bathrooms, & other random rooms that we sometimes use. Meanwhile time to say my favorite quote before I get ready for school.

"Sacrifice Who I Am To Become Who I Want To Be"

I fixed my hair a little and swung open my door to go to the bathroom to use the toilet, shower, brush my teeth and clean my face.

Whenever I got ready for school I always had to feel beautiful and look beautiful as well. People thought I was weird though because I loved wearing black, it was calm and laid back in my opinion. When I left out the bathroom I began to get my outfit together black and white chucks, a white Marilyn Monroe shirt, & a black Marilyn Monroe skirt. I'm not really the type to dress up but its hot as fuck outside and I love Marilyn Monroe so why not!

I walked downstairs to the kitchen to see if my mom decided to cook breakfast this morning. Unfortunately she didn't, so I just grabbed a cinnamon pop tart.

My mom was an alcoholic as well as a drug addict too. There were days when she would be a wonderful mother and then days when she would just be a disgusting bitch. I loved my mom though although she was a drug addict she made sure I attended school and would be on my ass when she caught me trying to skip to get some snacks from the store. My pops was an alcoholic as well but he hated drugs, he lived with us in the home too. Although he never care about anything we did he just told me and my little sister to be better than our mother and find a man that treats us the way we want to be treated. Also that sometimes what or who we want may not be what we need. He does everything for us and loves my mother but with her doing drugs it stresses him out which causes him to drink more. Even though he drank a lot he never did anything crazy but l never try to talk to him while he drinks he gets so fucking mad that sometimes he sleeps at a hotel. Meanwhile my bus comes at 8:09am I need to leave out shortly while I'm just sitting here daydreaming.

"Momma!!! I'm about to go I think Saraiah still sleep" I yelled

"Alright baby have a good day, and I'm on her ass anyways make sure you lock the door. Ma said

"Alright I'm Out" I yelled

Every morning my pops would always be still asleep when I left out for school. He wasn't a morning person but he always called me during school to make sure I got there safely. When I left out I immediately put my head phones in and turned on my music. I love music with a passion, it keeps me going everyday. I could not live without my music, I needed to block out lots of bullshit. When I walked down the street all eyes would always be on me, I hated it though I'm not a fan of attention at all.

When I got to bus stop it was four other people waiting as well, they always looked at me like I was amazing or something. I just mind my business until the bus come.

When the bus came I sat right in the front so I don't have to worry about all the assholes that push and rush as if they going to school to do work. I went to Benjamin E. Mays High school , I started in 9th grade & never left the crazy ass building. The school was a good school, but the kids made it stressful to attend.

They was rude, loud, always creating dumb ass fights, & just disrespectful towards the teachers. But overall I was good I had one fight with this bitch my junior though, but shit every since then bitches already know don't fuck with me.

When the bus pulled up & I sat there until all the annoying ass kids got off. I always got off last in the morning. I hated going in the building. When I enter the school I went through scanning. Then I went to the lunch room to get breakfast and wait for my best friend. My bestfriend was Melissa Jones, we been friends since 9th grade I have always been there for her and she has always been there for me. Every since the first day we met, but we are complete opposites she was kind of wild and puts herself out there, but I am more laid back and not as out there as Melissa. When my best friend enter the lunch room we began our everyday conversation.

"Hey girl, I been sitting here waiting on yo ass, you late"

"Hahaha bitch scanning was long asf, but what's for breakfast?" she asked

"Shit some nasty cereal, apple juice, preztal crackers and yougart, and that's always yo excuse. You did the homework for Mr.Jhonson class?"

"That sounds nasty asf, & yeah I did it, & I know yo ass did since you asking"

" Melissa girl whatever, come on let's get to class"
