Betrayal

BestFriend

Bella was seventeen in her last year

of high school, 5'7, lightskin, long

curly hair with a mature body for her

age. She was never a straight "A"

student even though she was more

than capable of it. Back in grammar

school she was a phenomenal student

intil her mom was killed.

Her mom was half Italian, half

black and her father is full African

-American. Her father was a huge

drug dealer until the day of his wife's

assassination. She was shot

execution-style in front of Bella,

when dirty cops raided the house.

They almost beat her father to death

and left him for dead with Bella tied

up.

           Every since then she have been

lost and heartless. Since then she

have followed in her father's footsteps

becoming a drug dealer. She

promised herself she would find

her mother's killers one-day.  She

walked down the school halls with

death in her eyes like always. On her

way the the library she saw her best

friend Mia.

Mia came from a different

background her mom was

a prostitute and her dad was on

crack. She grew up raising her two

little brothers. When she turned 13

she decided to start stripping to make

ends meet at home. She was always

a more developed girl, six years later

now looking like she is 29.  Her

and Bella first clicked in Grammar

School after Mia was heard back

from the 7th grade.

Mia - What up bishhh

Bella - What up, why you not in english.

Mia - Bishhhh you know I hate english, I'm about to dip out and go pick up Diamond afternoon shift at the club.

Bella looked at her *rolling her eyes* in the top of her head.

Mia - Why you always act like that with her? She real cool!

Diamond is one of Mia's stripper friends. She is the one that put Mia on and showed her the ropes. Don't do "private" partys, don't get sloppy drunk at work and go home with guys.

Bella replied, I never liked her...it's something about her I don't like.

Mia - Well I knew her just as long as I knew you. Y'all both like sisters to Me and you should give her a chance!

Bella - Idc if she was your blood cousin, she give Me a bad feeling when I'm around her. SO LIKE I SAID I'M NOT FUCKING WITH HER PERIOD.

Mia - *rolled her eyes* and changed the subject...so I'm happy to see you in school making up work.

Bella - Yea, I do want to graduate. That is what my mom would of wanted.

Mia - Will you be walking across the stage?

Bella - Yes, wbu

Mia - *Yelled* NO, They Trying To Tell Me I'm Have To Do Summer School AND Half Of Next Year.

Bella - Damn, that's bullshit

Mia - Yeah, but I probably just get my GED since I'm about to be 20 in a couple of months.

Bella - agreed with Mia

Mia - But I gotta get to the club to start the shift I'll see you later on!

Mia never did understand how Bella

was able to always keep her grades at

least a C or better. Bella missed more

days of school than Mia but always

was passing. The two best friends

departed their ways, Maya leaving out

the front door and Bella going into the

Library.
