Time : 5:30am
Setting : Bedroom
I've been pretty much awake this whole time for the past hour , but that's only because I'm nervous. Today is the first day of senior year and to be honest ...I really can't believe it came this fast and quick . I can't even say it without disbelief. My Alarm goes off and so do the butterflies in my stomach. I hit the Snooze button and close my laptop. I was watching YouTube videos on people's experiences on senior year and how they got through it and how they felt knowing it was their senior year . I know it sounds weird and pretty stupid knowing that I'd have a different experience but hey , I'm nervous. My phone rings and I look at the caller ID and roll my eyes and laugh . " DEJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" ulexus yells as she nearly screams my ear drums off . "Girl ,it is 5:36 in the morning. why the hell are you yelling ". "Uhh girl did you forget today is senior year ???". "And did you forget its five in the morning " I say correcting her . " Whatever , anyway be ready by 7:30 because I'll be by your house then " she says . " Alright girl , bye " I hang up and shake my head. That girl is crazy but that's why I love her . That crazy monkey is my best friend ,Ulexus. We've been best friends since Fifth grade . And surprisingly she's never changed . She was loud and crazy even back then , but you gotta love her. I get up from my bed and head to my bathroom and get washed up . After that I get out and go back in my room to figure out what the hell I'm gonna wear. I mean today is senior year and it is the first day , I have no idea what to wear . I go to my closet and try to see what to wear . " classy or laid back " I say to myself pulling out a bomber jacket . I shake my head and put the jacket back . I'm going with a classy look today and plus I'd get too hot with damn bomber . I mean I live in New York and it gets cold sometimes but it's still pretty hot in September. I pull out a White off - the - shoulder Crop top shirt and some denim skinny jeans and my thigh high suede black boots . I place the outfit and shoes on my bed and then head over to my dresser and turn on my tv and put on Music videos. Good , 21 Savage was playing . " Young savage why you trapping so hard , why you niggas capping so hard , why you got a 12 car garage, why you pulling all these rappers cards " I rapped along. I went over to my other dresser that had my lotions and perfumes and got lotioned up . After that I got dressed and headed over to my vanity mirror and did my make up . " while I'm baking my face , I should figure out what to do with my hair " I say to myself picking up my phone and going straight to YouTube looking up hair styles . Look I'm not crazy . I just have a lot of hair and the only way I know how to do my hair is because of YouTube . I don't have sisters and my mom passed away when I was ten years old so YouTube is my only go to because my father and brother aren't going to touch my hair. I picked a style video where it was nice flowing beach curls with a part in the middle. "Let me attempt this" I say putting my phone down on the table to see the video while I do my hair. I dust away the powder on my face and set my face with setting spray and start my hair . I take my hair out of the bun it was in and section it and start my hair .
After about thirty minutes I'm finally done . Hands cramped and arms hurt but I'm looking good . My hair was pretty long . My Father is Puerto Rican and my mother was black and White . Got my daddy curls and attitude but surely my mothers body and Height . I have curly , thick hair which I always leave curly because heat to my hair scares me and my curls but today I wanted to be fancy and straighten it and curl it, so its pretty long but not down my butt but a few inches after my Bra strap but my hairs really thick so it looks longer and fuller but my thick hair fits me because I'm about 5'7 so I'm a full figured women . Let me stop because yes not to toot my own horn , i have a nice body but , i don't got big boobs and i have medium size booty while every other girl at my school got big boobs for days and a big booty to have a dinner on . but I say I'm full figured to make myself feel better . I put on my thigh high suede boots and put on my big hoop silver earrings and my silver necklace and my bracelet my mother gave me before she died . she died when I was about 10 and knowing that the bracelet still fits me at 17 is pretty nice . I grab my black Micheal Kors shoulder chain bag , my phone and head downstairs to the kitchen to see my father on the phone . He sees me and smiles and gives me the finger letting me kno to hold on . I nod and sit at the island in the kitchen. " Yes ...of course ......well let it happen . Okay we'll see . Goodbye frank " . He hangs up and heads over to me and kisses my head . " well someone looks great this morning for their first day of senior year " he says while walking over to sit across from me at the island . I smile " Thanks , Daddy . Who was that " I ask regarding to the phone call . He smiles . " well , that was a company willing to give me ten million dollars for my company to sign with them so I have an interview with them on Wednesday at 11am " he says . I smile from ear to ear . My dad is one of the best high fashion designers in New York and has the best company in New York which is named " Heavenly Grace" . He started the business with my mom when they were 17 years old . He named the business after my mom because he was madly in love with my mom and it's cute how they started a business at the age of 17 . " oh wow , that's great dad " I say excited. He nods while smiling " yes , I just hope it's a great company " he says . " I wish mom was here to see it " I say then look down feeling abit upset . I miss my mom a lot . " hey .." he calls me and I look up at him . " she is here ...right here " he says pointing at his heart . I give a half smile and nod and he grabs my hand . " she's always here honey. Remember that , okay " I nod . " okay , dad " . " Good , Now where's your brother " He says . " Right here Daddy'O" my brother says entering the kitchen. I roll my eyes and laugh . " you just had to put on shades to match your fuck boy outfit " I say . " Deja , your mouth " . My dad says eyeing me . My brother smirks . " first off lil girl , these right here " he pulls down his shades showing off his eyes . " are Ray Bans . And you sit here talking bout my outfit but your wearing thigh high boots to go with your hoe of an outfit " he says and pulls his shades back up . " Devon " my dad Yells . My brother shrugs his shoulders and goes in the fridge. " whatever , and FYI , this is a classy outfit " I say Turing around in my seat facing my dad . " which is beautiful, honey " he says . I smile showing my dimples . " Devon stop drinking out the orange juice carton and listen up . Now tonight I won't be coming home til about six and when I do come home some of my team is stopping by so please you guys , keep this house nice and clean " my dad says grabbing his keys . Me and Devon Nod and my dad says his I love you to us kisses my forehead and gives Devon a dab and leaves . " Okay so I say I drive to school today " my brother says grabbing his keys of the key holder. Me and my brother are twins but he was born two minutes earlier than me so he swears he can boss me around . I roll my eyes. " Aren't you hot " I say looking at his outfit . He shakes his head . " why " he asks . " My guy , you got on American Stitch Scrunch Twill Jogger Pants and a black and a hoodie . I mean don't get me wrong you look aight but , you gon be hot " I say . He looks at my crazy . " But its cold outside , this is a great outfit . And with all this ice on my wrist im gon be cold all day " he says showing his Rolex . I roll my eyes . " If anyone should be worried bout weather it should be you , Shawty " he says . " is it really cold " I ask worried. He nods . " well whatever , a hoe never gets cold " I say flipping my hair . " well then you should worry because your not a hoe so you should grab a coat . Don't worry you won't get a man this year either " he says taking a bite of an apple . I smack the apple out his hand . "HEY!" He says . Asshole. " and hide that damn watch or put it back before you get jumped and robbed " I say . He rolls his eyes and shakes his head and covers the watch . Me and my brother like to stay low about us being wealthy because living in New York can be rough especially with people being jealous of one another so we don't bring up the fact that we have " money " or live in a Mansion on Long Island and other people at our school live in two story houses . We wanted to feel regular honestly and go to public school instead of private . We just don't want to flaunt anything. The only person that knows anything is Ulexus . Devon doesn't bring his friends over to the house bc he doesn't want to be judged so he'll go to his friends house and I only have Ulexus as a friend because Ulexus is really my only friend. No joke . But we don't want to flaunt
because we want to fit in . I hear my phone ding and it's ulexus texting me saying she's here . I grab my bag . " I'm catching a ride to school with ulexus , you coming fool " I ask . He grabs his bag . " Hell yeah I'm catching a ride with her fine ass . Let's go " he says running out the door . I roll my eyes and grab a water from the fridge and head out the door .
