Compton changed everything. In Riverdale, I used to be able to walk outside at night without having to worry about anything happening to me. I could walk outside in broad daylight and wouldn't have to worry about drive-by's. I used to be able to come home and be able to rely on a homemade meal made by mother-and my father sitting on the couch with her. But now, everything's changed. My dad dipped out on me and my mom, my mom and I are struggling to make ends meet, and I'm in these streets. Never would I imagined that myself, Egypt, would be out on the streets selling drugs to support myself. But if it helps me support me and my mother, I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Now I have responsibilities that I would've never expected, and people depend on me more than ever before. © all rights reserved // livythecreator

Mariee Harris is a "happily" married woman. She's been married for 8 years to her "high school sweetheart" and has a child. You might be wondering, "why the quotations?" well it's mainly because Mariee isn't what she seems. She's not actually happily married to her high school sweetheart, it's all just a cover up so nobody will suspect her biggest secret: She's a lesbian. The reason she's trying to cover up this up is because of her homophobic mother and very strict father. She doesn't want them to be disappointed in their oldest child. Mariee has been keeping this secret since 7th grade, but everything will soon change once her husband's sister, Yolie, moves in. Yolie is a stud who has always had a thing for Mariee, and what she doesn't know is that Mariee has always had something for her as well. Will Mariee's secret be revealed now that her actual high school crush is moving into her house?
