Beautiful Mystery

chapter one : where it all started

Do you ever ask yourself why something happens to you of all people? Because I ask myself why at least 500 times a day. Some shit always has to be happening to me. I used to complain about it, but now I just accept the challenges. Let me take you back to how it all started.
———-
"Maya, hurry up and get ready for school or you're walking" said my older sister Jessica.
I looked over at her for the first time since I started doing my makeup. "It's my first day of sophomore year, and you want me looking like a bum? Who's that going to look bad on you or me? You're a senior, you have more of a reputation to take care of."
Jessica rolled her eyes at me, put her sunglasses on and told me she would wait in the car.
This was my first day at a different high school. My freshman year I went to West High. Probably the most ratchet school in the city. Don't get me wrong I loved it. I made so many friends, but I also met a lot of females that hated me. I got kicked out for fighting one is what I'm trying to say. Why on earth would you do that Maya? Let me tell you boo. This girl was talking mad shit and thought everything was about her. So I dragged her across campus because she would not run up or shut up. Someone started a rumor that I sent her boyfriend pictures of my ass. First of all, if I wanted him, I would of already took him, so if she didn't know the facts she wouldn't of got beat up, and I wouldn't be starting at Sequoia High today. Anyway, on with my day. I grabbed my purse and was about to walk out of the room when my older brother walked in. His name is Ruben, but everyone calls him Dopey. No need to explain that one. Ruben is the oldest, he is 19, Jessica is 17, I'm 16, Cassandra is 12, and lastly my baby brother Antonio who just turned 7.
"What the hell are you wearing Loka?" my brother asked.
"What do you mean? My outfits tight, I'm going to have these females mad." I said as I looked down at what I was wearing. My white, high waisted skinny jeans with a black Obey tube top, and for shoes I decided to wear my all black Air Jordan 12's.
"You're outfit is TOO tight and not in the good way. Why can't you put on some baggy sweats or something? You're going to make me get locked up, for beating some lil boys up." he said jokingly. I rolled my eyes and laughed. He smiled at me, "Jessi's getting mad, you better hurry up. Be good and have a good day alright?"
"Ruben! Despierta a la Cassandra!"  (Translation: Ruben! Wake Cassandra up!)
I heard my mom yell from the kitchen. I grabbed my keys and looked back at my brother, "I will, love you Dopey." I responded and I walked out.
We got to Sequoia and I had Jessica show me around, I already knew most of her friends, since they were always at the house. My classes have been boring so far. My dumbass has to retake algebra 1 this year, which happens to be my last class of the day. I walked in and sighed. Of course, I had to be the last one in. The teacher had arranged the desks in groups. There are only two seats left and they were in the same group, so basically I was stuck in that group. I walked over and sat down. I had a boy to my left and one to the right. The one on my left side caught my attention. Neither of the boys greeted me. The one on the right just kept starring at me and the one on my left had his head down looking at his phone. I rolled my eyes and sat down. The guy to my left finally looked up. Dark brown hair, so dark it almost looked black. Light brown eyes, long eyelashes, a round nose, and really plump lips, tan complexion, for surely hispanic. He smiled a little bit, he has really nice teeth there's a little gap in between the front two. "I'm Angel, wassup?"
And I guess this is truly where it all started.
