I solemnly walked into my dorm, and into my room. I quickly kicked off my sneakers and crawled into my bed. Everything that happened had rushed into my head, and before i knew it tears had started rolling down my cheeks.
"I-i'm sorry I c-can't... l...
I'm awake at this time because my mom knows my flight is today. In true African culture, if you have a flight at 9am you are to leave the house at 4am. I don't know why or how but here I am.
ring!
ring!
connecting...
"Why are you calling me at this time mom!"
"Tiara your flight is at 9 am are you ready to go?"
"Ready to go!? Why would I be ready to go!? I don't have to leave until 7!"
"7!? No, wake up shower and get dressed. I'll send you an Uber, I'll tell them to be there by 4:30. If you are not ready by that time I will make sure you cry yourself to Korea, nonsense. Wake up my friend."
Call ended
Welcome to my life.
I quickly got up and woke Dia up.
"Dia moms is making us leave early to the airport! We only have till 4:30 so hurry up."
"I hate you."
"Love you too, now hurry up!"
I took a shower, washed my face, brushed my teeth and put my hair in a pony tail. I looked at the clock and saw it was 4:25, I quickly threw on my outfit grabbed my bags and ran out of the door.

Me and Dia began putting my bags in the trunk when we heard a voice.
"Yo, wagwan shorty."
"Timothy, what do you want?" Dia said.
"Why you gotta call mans by his govy, my names TK mamas."
"Timothy.what. do. you. want." Dia had already gotten in the car leaving me to deal with him alone.
" I heard you was moving out to Korea, I couldn't let my gyaldem move away without a kiss."
He started leaning in for a kiss and so I kicked him in the balls, very hard.
"Why you so violent T, daddy just-"
"You're gross get your broke ass, ashy ass, dusty ass away from me."
The truth is Timothy isn't gross at all, in fact he's really handsome. He's a tall light skin, with curly hair and a beautiful smile. I've known him since pre-school, but he got into some bad things and I do not want to get caught up in that. He's been making moves on me since sophomore year but he's a drug dealer.
I look away from him and continue putting my luggage into the back of the Uber.
"When you get back, I'll be rich and have three cars just for you shorty. I'll be waiting for you."
