Serenity Alissa Michelson

I slowly scrolled through TikTok watching random videos on my for you page. Even though this was the first day of school, I already awoken about 2 hours ago. I always can't get that much sleep on the first day back.

As I continue to scroll, my phone start to vibrate and my bestie's name pops up at the top of my phone.

BestieBoo 💕👯‍♀️💅🏼 FaceTime call...

I press answer to connect the call. "Boy this pussy talk English, Spanish, and French!" She rapped through the phone. I get hype and jump up in my bed and start twerking.

"Boy this pussy talk Dollars, Euros, and Yens!" I rapped the second half as I continue to twerk low on my bed. "Cause PERIOD," She yelled while we both did the hand motion.

We start laughing together at our foolishness. "Anywaysss, I'm at the front door boo." "Ok, here I come," I replied while slipping on my NIKE slides on my feet and made my way to the the elevator that was across from my room. I'm sorry y'all but I'm to lazy to walk down that long ass staircase.

I finally made my way to open the door for my best friend. She hurriedly walked into my house like she was running from a monster or some. "Uhh excuse you hoe, no hug or even a 'hello bestie, thank you for opening the door?'"I mugged her ass as she laughed, but I didn't find shit funny. "I'm sorry girl, I'm just tired as hell.. Dexton blew my back out last night." She exhausted while smirking.

Dexton was her boyfriend. They always on and off basically the true definition of T O X I C. However, if they ever decide to act right they would actually be a cute ass couple.

"Eww, bitch y'all toxic as fuck and nasty." I fake gagged and made my way back over to the elevator with her right behind me. "Bitch shut up! You need to be trying to get your ass some dick," She stated as we finally got off the elevator and headed across to my room. Once we got in, I closed the door behind her and laid on my bed dramatically.

"Sorry I don't do those kinds of things, I'm a child of GOD unlike you." I stated plainly while getting comfortable. We didn't have to be at school until 9:00. She flipped me off and got comfortable too.

"What you wearing today?" I asked her after a while of us being quiet. "Something from your closet." I just starred at her ass like she had two heads "bitch I barely even like you." She started smiling and hugging me "you right because you love me!"

I playfully rolled my eyes and completely laid down on my pillow. I knew that she was going to choose something from my closet because that's what we always did when we were at each other's house without no clothes of our own with us. Gem was like a sister to me so I didn't mind at all, honestly.

After a little while later, we both drifted off to take a little nap before really getting up to get ready for school.

7:45 a.m.

"I wrote this song for you, so you should pay attention! I was just staring at the ceiling and got in my feelings! Reminiscing about us fighting, fucking, and chilling. Right now, I'm riding through Memphis, passing through the city; I'm with my niggas, but I miss you, girl, don't get it twisted; And I cannot wait 'til I see you, hug you, and kiss you! Remember when I had first met you, how I used to sweat you? I used to call your phone and text you and tell you you're special; Like girl, you're special, you the kinda girl that I need,"  I rapped along to Letter from Houston by Rod Wave.

(a/n- that man is my favorite artist 🥰)

Besides NBA Youngboy, Rod knew how to touch my soul by the shit that he be rapping about. To me honestly, his music was one of a kind.

His music has gotten me through some rough times forreal. "Girlll, eww why your mood so sad?" Gem asked referring to the music that was playing. I rolled my eyes and ignored her.

Even though, I had a best friend and an older sister, I still felt lonely nowadays. I just felt like everybody been fucking with me when they need something or when they don't have anybody else in their corner.

This year, I was done being nice! I was going to fuck with people the way that they fuck with me!

Call me bitter, but the shit that I been through made me feel this way...

As I got done with my hair, I looked at myself in my full body mirror. Damn, bitch you fine! I thought to myself.

"You ready to go Gem?" I asked my best friend as I grabbed my purse and backpack. She nodded her head and did the same as me. I made sure everything was shut off in my room and closed my door.

We walked downstairs to the kitchen to grab a little snack and two mini cranberry•apple juices. (a/n- I love those juices 😩).

We headed outside towards my car after I made sure that the door was locked and secured. Just because I lived in a good neighborhood didn't mean anything.

I made sure that Gem put on her seatbelt before I pulled out of my driveway. I'll be damn if she die or get hurt while I'm in the car!

"You hungry?" I asked her. She nodded and I made my way to Chik-fil-la before heading to school.
