I called Momma and asked if I could go to a Friend's house
So soon? My baby girl got friends?
Ok mom, but can I go?
Sure!! Mom sounded more excited then I did.
I went up to Gigi and walked to Yosha's house with her.
Yoshas house was big, it looked like it had a pool!!
Her sister greeted us at the door, saying 'Go upstairs, the other girls are waiting'
Hey, y'all Gigi said, We here!
They gave hugs and acted a little Ghetto
So, Kalayah said, Let's play Truth or Dare
Bettt! Georgina said
Okay,I'll go first I said a bit bravely
Truth or Dare Latasha?
Girl you know me, Dare!
I felt comfortable when she said 'You know me' Like i fit in.
Alright.. I dare you to- Call your Crush!
Oooohhh everyone went, Do it,Do it!
Naww y'allll nawww
Eventually,She did it, Suprisingly, She told us she liked a boy named Junior.
I had him in Gym, He was a skinny,but musuclar boy, Funny, and not that dumb!
Hello is this Junior? She asked while trying not to giggle.
Yeah,Who're you?
Um hey, This is Latasha, From gym, Just calling cus i wanted to let you know I like you
There was a long pause
Until he said, I don't realy know you but you seem cool, Want my number?
Once he gve her his number, we giggled while she texted him.
Kalayah laughed and said, While Ms.Lovebird over there is texting her husband, Truth or Dare Maya?
I wasn't thinking right, and said 'Truth'
Why'd you transfer here she asked
Everyone stopped and looked at me, Why DID I transfer here so early? I was getting nervous, But i replied with, I was homeschooled, and wanted a taste of public school.
Kalayah sighed, Alright.
Truth or Dare Kalayah? I asked
Truth she said with a smile
Okay, Why do you hate me?
I thought aout saying that, But that would be too forward so Instead i asked her
Do you have any crushes?
She and everyone Laughed and she replied with No Maya, I'm in a Relationship already.
I was suprised but not too suprised, Kalayah was the defintion of beautiful, If you looked up cute girl's, she would probably pop up first.
Finally, After we got bored of Truth or Dare, Georgina said, Let's bleach our skin again!
Finally Latsha said, My skin got so dark I was the definition of black!
I blurted out, Why do you want to be light?
Kalayh looked at me and said: Light is Beautiful, Black isn't, Who's gonna date a Dark Black girl? A Dark Black Boy!
I looked at her angrily and said, Just becaue YOU think Black isn't beautiful,Doesn't mean everyone else does, And your not Latasha are you?
Before Kalayh could answer, Gigi said calm down Maya, It's fun and healthy for your skin
I didn't respond until Gigi mumbled anyway's you need it.
I stared at her, but went in the bathroom with them, Cmonn Yosha said, Just try it girllll
Finally I did, It burned so bad i started to cry, Kalayah said Quit cryin, Just think about the results!!
I couldn't think about the results, I could only think about the pain.
The girls could see that the Bleach was killing me, So they applied some "skin lightening cream"
It didn't really help, And i screamed in pain.
Shut up before we get in trouble Kalayah said
Not being able to control my anger, I looked at her and screamed really loud.
Her Mom burst into the bathroom, To see me crying, Yosha holding a bleach bottle, while some oozed on my back.
What the Hell-
She ordered everyone out and looked at me
She looked disgusted and suprised
She called my mom,Who brought my brother to carry me out, The girls were 'crying' and 'begging for fogiveness'
All of them looked embarassed, Except Kalayah, She looked happy.
In the car, My mom was debating whether or not to take me to the hospital
Take her to the DANG Hospital my Brother yelled, SHE STINKIN UP THE CAR!!!
DON't SAY DANG AND STINKIN! My mom screamed
Finally we pulled into the hospital, At this point I was groaning in pain.
The Receptionist looked at me and said 'Right this way'
I didn't remember anything after that, I woke up to seeing my mom,Julius, And a Unfamilair man in the room.
