Pinky Promise?

A is for Anastasia

Anastasia Pov-

*beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep.*
Ugh, the sound of my stupid alarm going off for school. Ha, at least it's the last day of school, of senior year!! Yeet! Turn up!🙌 I get up to do my hygiene thing in the bathroom. You know, brush my teeth and wash my face. After a quick shower to smell real good. Once I finished that, I oiled my body and found some high-waisted jeans with a all black crop top with 'QUEEN' written across and my Bred 11's. I sprayed my perfume and put my hair in a bun then headed out the door. By now it was only 6:30, I still had time before I had to be to school. I'm going to tell you about myself.

My name is Anastasia, I go to Brookside High School. I am a senior, thank the lord. I'm also 4'11, yes I'm short but your girl still looks up to me. I'm brown skin and my hair is naturally curly. It falls to the middle of my back. Yes, it's my real hair. I'm part Indian. After high school i plan on moving away from New York to California to go to college to become a psychologist. I used to live with my mom and younger sister, she's 13. I live alone in my small two bedroom house my dad pays for. My dad walked out on us a few years ago to live the fast life, you know, fast cars, fast money, fast women, most of, fast drugs. He sells dope, weed, etc. He is a huge top-notch King pin down in LA. So every month he sends us money to provide for ourselves. I didn't say he walked out on us and completely forgot we existed. My family is pretty well off, even without his money, that's just extra. My mom owns her own beauty shop/nail store. My mom and older sister lives together a few blocks away from me.

As I pulled up to school in my Pathfinder Jeep, I seen my crew posted up by the their cars in the parking lot waiting for the bell ring. I hopped out my car locking it behind me, ain't nobody got time for their car to get stolen. I walked up to find them discussing the summers' plans on hanging out.

"Bessfraaaan!!" I squealed as I walked up to Adrian. "Bessfraan" he mocked me. Adrian is my best friend and always has been since the 7th grade. I said goodmorning to the rest of the group and we discussed the plans for today after school released early. In the middle of us talking the bell rang signaling that it's time for first period. English. I had first period with Adrian, Daniella, Treyvon, Keairah, Keyona, Mike, and Jeremiah.

Since it's the last day we didn't do much but talk. No work was given and our teacher just played on his phone chillin' behind his desk.

"So, what's the plan for today?" Adrian asked.
"I want to chill at the house, maybe smoke some blunts and eat." Treyvon ole' non learning ass stated bluntly.
"We should go to the mall and pick up some honeys, you know, pull the ladies." Jeremiah always trying to pull someone.
"I honestly don't care what we do, as long as I'm not stuck at the house bored alone." Keyona loud ass spoke up finally.
"I don't really care either. I just don't want to be bored." I imputed not looking up from my phone.

"Stasia' aye, stasia'! ANASTASIA!!" Adrian yelled, finally getting my attention, also causing people in the class to stare at his crazy ass.

"WHAT..!?" I hissed.

"What do you want to do after school.? Just me and you, like old times."

"Yeah, that'll be nice. What do you want to do.?"

"I don't know, watch movies, chill, go to the mall or something."

"Okay that's nice. We can do that."

"Meet me by the bus loop by 10:45, I'll drive you home."

"I have my own car you know.?"

"Oh i forgot. Just meet me anyway and i' follow to your crib aight?"

"Yeah aight."

"Promise?"

"Haha yeah I promise." We shook pinkies.

The rest of our half-day went pretty well. No coward ass niggas trying to fight, no females jumping each other, and so on. By now it's 10:40 and I'm driving over to the bus loop from the parking lot. I park my car and wait for Adrian.

10:43, no Adrian. Two more minutes.

10:50, no Adrian.

11:00, no Adrian.

Well damn, this nigga done stood my ass up. How could he, we promised. Pinky promised at that. We never break our pinky promises, even if they are the most ridiculous, most childish ass promises. On my way home i mentally cussed his ass out in every single way.
'Bitch ass stood me up.' 'Ole fuck nigga, block head ass nigga, jolly the green giant ass nigga.' 'Get on my damn nerves, had the audacity to stand me up like one of his hoes.' 'Im confused on why he thought this shit was okay.' 'He broke our promise, Adrian broke our promise.'
