Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air. Can't live, can't breathe with no air - Jordan Sparks

" Ki' onna Cut that shit off mane. " He yelled beating on my door waking me up from my sleep.
I jump up cutting my alarm off. " I'm sorry. " I said loud enough. I rushed into the bathroom taking a quick shower, washing my hair in the process.
Once I got out I stood in front of the mirror doing my best not to look at the bruises. I creamed my body, put on deodorant, clean my face, and brushed my teeth.
I walked back into the room slipping on my panties, and bra. I slipped on some black jeans that were to big for me, and a over size t-shirt.
I slipped on a pair of black flap, and since my hair was wet and curly I just put it up into a curly ball.
I grabbed my phone and books placing them in my bag. I open the door, walking down the stairs.
I could hear voice laughing and talking but it's really out of my place to ask who. I got to the last step getting ready to walk out the door.
" Where you think you going ? " I heard a familiar voice. I turned on my heels and saw Travis.
" School. " I said loud enough so he could hear.
No one said a thing so I lifted my head looking back at everyone who was looking at me. " Is there something wrong. " I whispered.
" How you getting there ? " The girl who hugged Travis last night asked smacking her gum. " The bus. Is that all. ? " I asked. As they stared at me, I was becoming uncomfortable, so I started to chew on my bottom lip.
" Why you taking the bus? " Everyone said in disgust.
I furrowed my eyebrows, " I'm sorry, but with all do respect. I don't have money nor did my mom. No one ever took care of me, but me. As you probably heard my mother kicked me out last night everything I have I've worked for is gone. A car isn't cheap so when it happens it happens until then I'm going to go to school on the bus, so goodbye. " I spoke firmly for the first time in my life. I turned back around and walked or the door.
I kept my head down as I walk on the side walk just watching how my feet move. You've probably wonder who am I really and what the hell is wrong with me. Clearly my name is Ki'onna Harris. I'm sixteen but I will be turning seventeen the day of graduation, which is May 3rd. Yes I'm graduating high school at sixteen plenty of people do it but I know school is my only option to make it. I don't do sports, I did do track and basketball but not anymore cause I couldn't afford it and my mama definitely wasn't going to pay for it, so I had to quit. I sing but I don't want to do that all my life. I'm smart so I might as well have a career and hopefully If the world doesn't break me down anymore I might be able to make it. I don't know how much more I'll be able to take but I always push myself, hoping bigger and better may come my way.
" Ma'am! " A lady yelled, causing me to look up. I didn't realize the bus stopped or that I was even at the bus stop. " I'm sorry. " I mumble stepping inside.
Not many people were on there except, old women and men who probably just got off, or going to work. I took a seat In the back and pulled out my phone. All I did was check my email, and Twitter. As normal I didn't have anything important so I press the the power button locking it, dreading to go to school.
I hate this place, I absolutely hate being in this place. The people here are so rude, disrespectful, conceited, fake wanna be thugs, and nasty hoes. But out of all people the entire grade wants to bully me. I may not be this and that but I don't want to be bullied, I'm sure no one does.
The bus stops a few blocks from my school and I get off, not before telling the driver thank you. I walk past the houses already hearing the voices of the students. Of course everyone is outside, with there groups of friends. So it's awkward when I walk past everyone into the front doors while they stop what they doing and stare. " I swear that girl is ugly as fuck. "
" She needs to be trying to lose wait. "
" She's so dirty. "
All I hear and more everyday. I'm not even fat, I just mentally roll my eyes and walk into class a take a seat in the far back. I'm always the first in class.
The bell rings signaling for everyone to be in class, and that's in they all rush in taking their seats screaming and laughing.
" Settle down. Right Now ! " The teacher screamed. They got quiet but kept giggling, she just rolled her eyes getting ready to call roll.
" Rodgers . "
" Davis . "
" McBride . "
They all said here. " Harris. " She said looking up I made eye contact and raised my hand. " mhhm hoe . " Stacy coughed out.
I didn't bother responding knowing it would only cause me more problems. The only hoes here is her and the rest of the girls except like six maybe seven including me. I slumped in my chair. " Last week. " I mumble. After this I won't have to show up at this hell anymore.
------------
I was a few blocks from the house I was staying in. I would just call it the house but it's not mine I barely know those people and it makes me uncomfortable.
I got to the front door getting ready to knock until someone pushed me. " Bitch. Do you really think I'm going to let you get valedictorian, when I should. " Stacy screamed slapping me in my face busting my lip in the process.
" Are you seriously about to fight me, because of my grades ? " I yelled. I yelled twice including this time in my life but I'm so sick of this shit. I hate people being rude to me when I don't do anything at all.
" You don't deserve it. I've cheered all my life, I'm known by everyone, everyone likes me. No one likes you. I even study but no when I see who's going to be vale its you. Out of all people. " She says punching me in the face.
" Looks like daddy's money can't buy everything. " I snap back. When I truthfully should be quiet. I cover my face as she sends blows after blows to my head. At one point she stomps me in my head and I started to go unconscious.
" Stacy Yo what the fuck. " I heard ' him ' screaming throwing her off me.
" I'm going to put her in the car. " His sister said, as her and Travis pick me up placing me in the backseat.
" Why is she even at your house Quincy? " I heard Stacy scream.
I couldn't hear is his response because My head started to hurt and I couldn't breathe. I feel like something was blocking my air way, everything starts slowly fading away.
" No. Ayy Ma Breathe! " I heard Quincy yell. Shaking me. I tired forcing my eyes on, but I couldn't.
"I can't .... " everything went dark.
( kinda corny I know. )
