More Than Just A Pretty Face

7:30 am

I woke up to the birds chirping from outside my window. I sat up and looked around my room. Depression. That's the only word that could describe my house. I got up and began looking for clothes to wear.

This year is my last year of high school and honestly I'm not looking forward to it.

As I was getting ready I seen a glimpse of the last picture with my brother, Andre, he got shot and killed at a club. I don't know to much about the details but I do know he was in a gang called Shooters. After I was done getting dressed I walked down the hall and greeted my mother who was making breakfast.

"Goodmornin mama"

"Goodmornin baby, I made your favorite today."

I smiled. My momma always know how to make me feel better. Even though she going through her own struggles. As we sat there and conversed a little we heard a creek. I turned around and there stood the devil himself. Bryan.

See my mother met Bryan when she was working at the club as a bartender in Los Angeles. That was the first time in forever I seen my mother eyes light up. They went on plenty of dates with each other. In my eyes he was the perfect guy for my mother, so I thought. For the past few months he's been nothing but disrespectful to her. Laying his hands in her, just a straight up manipulative person.

"Baby why don't you go get you bag for school, imma take you to school since it's the first time you been to this school." My momma said as she rubbed on her arm.

He probably hit her last night.

I got up and slid past him to get my bag. As I was about to make it to my room I heard his masculine voice.

"Little girl why yo ass ain't speak to me this morning" he yelled.

I looked at him with pure disgust and rolled my eyes. I ignored him and got my bag and went outside to the car. I sat out there for about 5 minutes until I seen Bryan come outside with the keys.

"Change of plans I'm taking you to school." He smirked.

I looked at him and sighed. Why do my mother stay with him? They're not even married. He got in and started up the car. I looked out the window day dreaming about the times Andre was here. Until I felt his hand start rubbing on my thigh. I swatted his hand and but he put it back forcefully while locking his lips.

"You know, you're sexy as fuck but that attitude of yours is what makes yo ass ugly as fuck."

I scoffed at him.

"Just take me to school."

Dave

I closed my locker looking at Jasmine like she was crazy as fuck as she stood there looking at herself in the mirror.

"I just think that you should post or let it be known that we are together." Jasmine's said as she looked at the mirror in her locker again.

I rubbed my hand down my face already stressed over the situation. It's always something with this girl ain't it.

"Jas we only friends ok. Yeah maybe we fucked a few times but I'm not ready for  no relationship."

She slammed her locker and scoffed.

"I'll see you after school."

"Don't be like that Jas."

She ignored me and continued walking.

I'm not finna put up with this bullshit.

I adjusted my bookbag as the last bell ranged. As I began walking I seen a girl on the hall struggling to open up her locker.

"Do you need help mamas." I asked her

She jumped when she heard my voice.

"Y-yea." She turned around looking down.

I turned to her locker then back to her.

"Whatchu code."

"12-34-56"

I nodded then went back to her locker. It opened on the first try.

"Thank you." She mumble.

I studied her face for a while but I couldn't find her face familiar.

"You must be new here."

She nodded her head looked down.

"My name Dave but people call me East, how about you."

"My name's Aubrey but people call me Bre for short."

"That's a beautiful name."

She smiled and looked up. I did the same. I decided I would walk her to her class which is my class also.

"So this right here is our first period. This teacher right here is cool and layed back so you probably won't have to worry about her that much."

She nodded her head and we walked in. I'm not going to lie though, shawty is bad as fuck. The things I'll do to her.

I smirked and shook the thought out my head. I then sat down in a seat next to hers.

Aubrey

"Alright class my name is Ms. Matt and I'm your science teachers. I'm saying this because it looks like we have a new student. If you would, can you please stand up and introduce yourself."

I stood up slowly and looked around the class.

"My name is Aubrey Smith. I was born in Trinidad but moved to Los Angeles when I was younger. Now I'm in New York. I have no siblings and my favorite colors are royal blue and gold."

"That's wonderful Ms. Smith, I believe you would have a good time here at Royal Woods High School."

I smiled at her and sat down near Dave, well East. I couldn't help but to stare at him. He was handsome. He gave off a thuggish type of person. Which I love. My eyes went behind him as I seen a girl looking at me giving me the death glare. What's her problem? I decided to shrug it off and continued taking notes.

Soon enough the class was over and I was off to my other class. East didn't have this class so I was disappointed a little but I know I would make some friends soon.
