The Birds

Chapter 6: Drugz In My Body

It was a Monday morning, November 3rd  i woke up with a smile on my face at the memory of hanging with chris. I hadn't seen him the day after and he was stuck on my mind. Everything about him was pulling me in and i didn't know what to do with myself.

He brought out the worst in me and made me do bad things but he made me better...

And i know it doesn't make sense.  

I was excited to see him quickly jumping out of bed rushing to get ready wearing my new clothes.

I bought makeup yesterday even though i didn't know how to do it so i just did the best i could.

i smiled in awe, i don't think i've ever looked this good before. "Ok jorja i'm ready."

nia said walking in, we both smiled at each other in awe before randomly hugging each other. 

"oh by the way i sent my application in, so they are going to call the house phone and tell me if i got it or not." 

She smiled up at me content with what i just said. 

"Good"

"good" i said back. 

Before leaving school i went to check on my grandma making sure her machine was still going. "Hey granny, i'm going to school, so i'll see you later i love you." i said kissing her forehead,  leaving not expecting an answer because she was hooked up to a breathing machine incapable of answering. 

god i dreaded the day she will be taken from me like everyone else has. i've been alone for too long, me and nia both. 

I was alone all the time... so as i walked into this dreadful school i felt it even more.

But it was something different today, instead of being completely ignored by everyone, people stared at me as i walked down the hall. Why? and then i realized it was because of my sudden change in clothing.  

I felt a sense of worth walking with my head high.
