Micah
The same routine was applied everday in my Michigan projects neighbor hood. Boys trying to get at every girl that walked pass, kids playing hopscotch on the road, boys trying to make money easy by selling drugs and girls degrading themselves.
My little sister gripped my hand tighter as we approached closer to a group of boys.
It got quiet as we walked by the circle. Once we got on the other side I heard a whisper.
" Dang" I continued walking hoping to get to my sister's daycare quickly. I was always concerned about this neighborhood for three reasons which decreased to two. My safety, and my sister's safety. The other reason was my mother's but that changed quickly when she abandoned me and Kayla.
Once I saw Kayla's daycare in sight, i hurried down the street. When I arrived, I walked up the steps and pulled the door open, put kay down and was greeted by kayla's teacher Mrs. Burnside.
"Goodmorning Micah and hello ms. Makayla" she cooed as kay ran up to her and gave her a big hug. I walked over and Mrs. Burnside gave me a hug along with a weak smile.
"Goodmorning" I replied while giving her kayla's old torn up Dora bag. I walked to Kayla and gave her mutiple kisses on her forehead and she giggled pushing my head away.
" Okay mommy stoooppp" She exclaimed. She always called me mommy since our mother left.
" I love you lil' mama and be good for Ms.Burnside okay" She smiled and nodded her head as she stretched her little arms out for a hug. I stood and straightened out my dirty long sleeve. Just as I was about to walk out, I felt someone grab my hand. I turned as Mrs. Burnside spoke.
"I'm always here if you need help...... i'm just one call away" She gave me a comforting smile and pulled me into a warm hug.
She was always there if I needed anything. She was like a mother to me and she was also good friends with my mother before she became a drug addict.
"Thank you Mrs. Burnside... I have to head to school i'll see you later" I said
"Ok honey and stop calling me that..it's mama Jean" She said which made me laugh.
"Ok" While walking to the door, i looked up at the red and black electric clock on the wall and saw that i had 5 minutes to get to school. I walked out the door and hurried down the street to my school. I approached the steps of south michigan high and hurried down the hallway to my locker. I put in my locker pin in, got my books out, and headed to first period.
Once i got there, i saw my bestfriend Alicia sitting down waiting for me at our spot in the front. I walked over and sat down.
"Took you long enough" She said turning her head to me chewing loudly on her gum.
"Sorry i got caught in the time talking to Kayla's teacher" i sighed slouching a little in my chair.
" Whatever" She said as she gazed off to the door. I turned my head and saw Chase, Mason, Andre and Jaceyon or the 'pretty boys' of the school.
"Chase is so fineee" Alicia said watching his every move.
I looked over and saw jaceyon's eyes meet with mines. He was always the quietest out of them all so to me he really didn't go well with them. I quickly turned my head back to the front. To me he was mysterious.
Alicia scoffed as one of the school's degrading girls chandra sat in Chase's lap.
"What a tramp" She said and turned around back in her seat. We talked for a couple more minutes then our teacher, Mr.O'neal walked in.
"Goodmorning class take your seats please.. we are about to begin" He said as i pulled out all my supplies.
L U N C H
Me, Alicia and Diamond, another friend of ours sat at our regular seat in the far corner of the cafeteria. The tables were set up like any other school. You have the weird people, the quiet ones, the 'poppular' ones and us. I guess were just locals.
"Girl i don't what you're talking about Chase is the cutest" Alicia said to Diamond. They were debating on who was the sexiest out of Mason and Chase.
"Hell no girl Mason is wayy finer" She said as i let out a fit of laughter. My lauging died down and they both snapped their heads in my direction.
"What y'all staring at me like that for?" I said as i rolled my eyes.
"What about you..... who you like?" Alicia asked me.
I shrugged my shoulders as i played in the nasty cafeteria food and replied. " No one"
"Yeah right i'm soo stupid" She rolled her eyes.
I chuckled "Whatever i just really don't have my eyes on anyone."
" Mhm i see how jaceyon be staring at you" She smirked. I scoffed at her.
"Whatever" In the past, i had about 2 or 3 boyfriends and they constantly just continued to break my heart. I sacraficed my little sister and school so i could spend more time with them but they always want more, if you know what i mean.
Chase and his crew walked through the cafeteria door and flocks of the school's girls went running to their area. They all had girls sitting on their laps and were making noise as usual, but i noticed that Jaceyon wasn't there.
I just turned aorund and continue to mess with the food. I looked at the big clock on the wall and saw that we didn't have much time until the bell rang. I stood up out of my seat and grabbed my stuff.
"Where you going?" Alicia asked me
"We don't have much time.. i wanna use the bathroom before the bell rings" I said hopping over the chair. I started walking and heard them running up behind me as i walked out of the door.
"I'll meet you guys in math class" I said as we parted ways and went down the hallway to the bathroom.
Just as i was about to turn the corner, i bumped into the hard abdomen of someone making me stumble back.
" Sorry lil mama" I looked up and saw Jacyeon's 6'2 frame as he looked down at my 5'4 figure.
"It's ok i was jus-"
" I'll see you later baby" Stephanie another school tramp said as she walked around us.
" Excuse me" I mumbled walking around him. I felt a little jealousy but I don't no why. I barely know the boy. I didn't need to use the bathroom anymore so I just stared in the mirror until the bell rung.
