I walk into the house from volleyball practice. I take my nike tennis shoes off at the door, so I don't stain the white soft carpet.

I walk past my stepdad's office seeing him on his computer working. I went upstairs to my room and plopped on my bed with my back on the blankets. I looked at the ceiling taking in the silence, and took deep breaths.

My door opened and I sat up immediately and saw my stepfather standing there. " What do you need? " I asked dryly. " When did you get home? " He asked. " A few seconds ago. " I said in a duh tone. " Watch your tone, young lady or i'll- Or you'll what? " I cut him off. " You ain't my real daddy, and he's still alive so I have a 50 50 chance to get him back. " I spat.

" Brooklyn! " He shouted. " What you mad that you might lose my mom, I bet you don't even love her. " I shrugged.

I normally don't say things like this to him, but today I had it. I don't get bullied, people know me. I'm real chill, laid back, a nerd, smart mouth to my peers, inspirational, talented and more. There's another side of me, that wants to turn up and just burst out dancing in the hallway one day, but apparently that's not the case. Anyway today, my worst enemy that used to be my best friend in middle school kept talking smack. She spreaded rumors that I had sex with Isaiah this really cute white boy. He's tanned, with golden brown hair, and hazel eyes with a blue iris, with these pink full divine lips, the whitest smile ever. He's probably 6.0 which is taller than me i'm 5.6.

" I love your mother very much Brook! What's gotten into you today? I don't know, but you better fix dinner will be ready in thirty minutes. " He said and left my room slamming my door behind him.

And stay out.

I got out the shower, and looked at my wet natural puffy dark hair as the water dripped to the floor. I got my natural hair cream and coconut oil and moisturized my hair, putting it into braids instead of twist or bantu knots or corn rolls.

I then went downstairs to eat dinner. As I approached the table I saw mama and pops eating. I sat down quietly as they both looked at me. Pops with a stern look and mama with a frown.

" Sorry I took a shower and then did my hair. " I said pointing to the braids all over my head. " Well learn to keep up with time. " Pops said. I just looked at him no expression. " Don't look at me that way. " He growled like some kind of animal. I frowned my eyebrows and just made my plate.

I then prayed by myself, I prayed a long prayer. About my day, my pops, my bi-logical pops, my mama, then for my food. I ate in silence just listening to the fork clink to their plates. I don't know why they're using forks and knives to eat ribs, i'ma bout to smash.

I picked up the rib with my hands and devoured it, when I finished my first one about to pick up the second one pops stopped me. " What in the hell? " He shook the word hell. " I can't eat in peace? " I asked with a lifted eyebrow. Mama handed me a napkin and I wiped off my face. " Why are you eating with your damn hands?! " He raised his voice but didn't yell.

" Excuse me. " I said under my breath with an attitude, much attitude. " Huh? " He asked. " Because that's how you eat ribs, why you acting white? " I asked. " Its called eating correctly. " He said slamming his fork on the table. " Guys calm down. Brook go clean yourself up okay. " Mama said and I rolled my eyes with a groan.

Mama's under this man's spell. I don't know what he's doing, but he sure don't love her. Maybe because she so gorgeous and he wants to show off his bomb of a wife. The lady whose 5.8 and has a body, whose legs look awesome in some heels. The lady with curly brown hair that shaved on one side. Who has pretty light brown eyes, and pink full divine lips. With smooth light skin that feels like that body oil you put on in the shower to make your skin soft.

I went into the bathroom and washed my face and hands. When I walked back to the table, mama lifted her head with pleading eyes. " Are you good? " Pops asked. " Of course, I was the whole time. You make some bomb ribs though! " I said careful not to cuss. But hey I hear it all day long.

" Good. " He nodded. I picked up my fork and knife with a smile. I looked at mama a few times to see how in the fuck! you cut ribs without your damn hands.

I walked into the school wearing some denim skinny jeans, red converse, a black tank top with spaghetti straps, with a red, black and white plaid collard shirt. I put on some black lipstick, silver earrings, and eyeliner with the cat eye. I took down my hair which was fully dry thank God!

I grabbed my samsung galaxy s5, with my earphones in the earphones hole, and my bookbag. I grabbed my coat, and gloves then walked downstairs.

I saw mama in the kitchen cooking waffles, bacon, and eggs. " Hey mom. " I said. " What was that last night? " She said with her back to me. " I had a bad day, and pops made it worse, so i went snap. " I shrugged and grabbed a plate. " Honey don't take your anger out on your father. " She said. " Stepfather! " I corrected her. " Anyway, you need to respect him as if he were your bi-logical father. " Mama said putting the dishes into the sink as I hurried.

" Okay, i'll try no promises. " I shrugged. Mama looked up and gave me the evil eye. " You're so pretty. " I smiled. " Now is not the time. " She said then took a deep breath. " Go to school. " She said after I cleared my plate. " Love you too. " I said wiping my mouth and put more black lipstick on.

I walked out the house and got into my white Lexus convertible, but left the hood down.

I walked into the school listening to Jhene Aiko and eating a coffee doughnut with coffee, four sugars, three cream.

I went into the caf and sat down by myself like I always have ever since my bestfriend Lanae left. Left the Earth.

Then a group of kids sat at my table, I was about to get up when one of the boys touched my head. " Aye where you going? " He asked. " Somewhere else. " I said. " Naw, hang with us, you look so lonely sitting her by yourself. " One of the girls said. " I enjoy my own company. " I gave a firm smile, but didn't show my teeth. " Aye calm down and bring that ass her girl! " One of the boys said.

He was really cute, to be honest. He was brown skin, and you could tell it was smooth. He had chocolate eyes, with dark long eyelashes, that didn't curl up. He looked kind of short for a boy like 5.9 or 5.10. He had dark curly hair, and long sideburns, with pink brown full juicy lips.

I just sat back down, and he smiled showing perfectly white straight teeth with fangs, and pink gums. He had no gaps nothing. He also had a little mustache growing in. " What's your name? " One of the girls asked. " Brooklyn. " I said dryly. " What's stuck up your fat ass. " The cute boy said. I looked up at him, not lifting my head up, just my eyes as I stirred my coffee. " Life. " I said.

" We understand, we go through it everyday. " One of the girls said. " Anyway, i'm Desmond, that's Keyshawn, and that's Joyce and Essence. " The cute boy said. I nodded a firm nod. " Look I see y'all around thanks though. " I said standing up and walked out going to class.

I know this chapter was boring, but it'll get better I promise keep reading. Thanks y'all love you
