BEEP BEEP... My alarm goes off I get ready for school today was my first day at m new school and I was pretty anxious cause I'm in a new environment and Miami is a lot different from Atlanta, my mom would usually take me on the first day of school
but she's away at work since she got a new flight attendant so she's never home and I'm always alone.
I check the time and
it's time for me to head out I find my way to the school bus stop and I rush out the door and make it to the stop and it's a girl mean mugging me like I did sum to her ass but overlooked it cuz I was in a new environment and uncomfortable with er'body

I'm a seat and I was walking down the aisle
and a girl grabs me and makes me sit by her. you new? she asked me and I say yeah and she puts headphones back in
and leans her head against the window the bus finally stops after 20 mins and we were in front of the school
And the school Looked nicer then

But ion got time for no body
Attitudes.
I walk down the Hallway
And it's wasn't no doors just
A big hallway and it was empty
So I guess everyone got to
Their classes already.

Bag full of white pills and
I turn around and head in the
Other direction not wanting
Attention from the 2 boys .
I walk into sumthing

We get to a classroom and she
Opens the door for me and
Showing the teacher my
Schedule telling her I was
New so the teacher told me

To a boy who seemed oblivious
To my existence which was go

Problem.

Sitting on the bleachers
Talking or standing around
On their phones.

Comes back with the clothes
And they look lil small.

Off in my bookbag in my

Is already making announcements.
I sit on the bleachers with er'one else.
