Keep Your Head Up (Unedited)

Chapter One

Brianna's P.O.V.

I heard the door knob rattle, it must be my dad.

I went and unlocked the apartment door. My dad stumbled in, his clothes were radgy and he smelt awful.

He had white stuff all over his face. He must have been snorting cocaine again.

I lead him to his bed room. I helped him into bed. I kissed his forehead. I went back to the living room and lied down of the old sofa. I glanced at the clock. Three in the morning. Now that my dad is home I can finally go to sleep. I rested my head on the pillow and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

>>>Three Hours and Thirty Minutes Later

I bolted up from the couch. I over slept I should have been up thirty minutes ago.

I ran to the bathroom did my hygiene routine and got dressed. I slipped on my red sweat shirt, black cotton leggings, and old black combat boots.

'Work with what you got Brianna.' I told myself

I put my hair into a messy bun. I pushed some stray strands of hairback with a thin head band.

I glanced at the clock, 6:50. I have to get going.

I quickly rubbed some vasline onto my lips. I ran to the kitchen. I heated up some Ego Waffles. When they were done I grabbed my backpack from the corner of the living room.

I was just about to leave when I remembered I forgot something. I went to my dad's room.

"Daddy I'm leaving. Try to stay in the house." I begged him

"I'll try princess, have a good day at school. Keep your head up." my Dad said weakly

"I love you daddy." I said kissing his cheek

"Love you more princess."

I hugged my dad goodbye then ran out the door. It should be about 6:54. School starts at 7:10, and its a six minute walk their.

>>>Arriving At School

When I arrived at school I went straight to the main office. I'm  trying to avoid any bad encounters.  When I got my schedule I went to my locker to put away some books I didn't need.

"Hoe I saw your dad snorting cocaine the other day." I heard I vioce from behind me say

Please not let it be who I think it is. I turned around I saw Adian standing their with his arms wrapped around Star, his girlfriend.

I stayed quit and didn't say anything.

"Hoe I know you heard my man with yo fat ass." Star yelled gathering a crowd

I remained quit. Star slapped me. My head went into a different direction. Tears didn't cone, my eyes just got glossy. I let out I deep breath calming my nerves.

Adien punched me square in the jaw sending me flying into the lockers. That's right he hits girls, or maybe it's just me he uses as his punching bag. Star kicked me in my stomach. I got into a protective ball.

"Let's beat up the whore!" Star yelled

The people watching started beating the life out of me. Slaps, punchs, and kicks were being thrown in different directions. I tried my best to block the hits.

When the first bell rang people started to leave. I got out of my ball hoping evryone had gone.

"Pathetic. " Adien said

He spat on me than left with Star. So much for a good first day of school.

Adien's P.O.V.

I sat in class texting on my phone, with headphones on. My mind drifted to Brianna. Dumb hoe can't even defend herself. I shock my head disgusted.

When I saw her this morning I knew I had to teach her a lesson. Just cause we now seniors doesn't mean she can dress any kind of way.

But I have to admit she was giving niggas all kinds of thirst with her fat ass. Lookin' like two basketballs on her backside. Star caught me starring and got jealous, it's not my fault you ain't got shit in the front and back to hold or grap onto.

The rest of the class period was so fucking boring, and on the first day too. When the bell rang we grabbed our stuff and bounced. I was going to the hall way when I noticed Brianna. She was limping, but yet had a small smile on her face.

This is the shit that annoys me about her. She just got her ass handed to her by 16-20 different people. What she got to smile about?!

The bitch can't hold a grudge, she'll forgive you (even though she doesn't say it) without you opening her mouth or lifting a finger. I walked up to her and slapped her.

"Why you smiling bitch? Your baby daddy was finally conceived the kid is his." I snarled at her

She didn't say anything. I'm starting to think this bitch is mute. The only time you hear something from her is when were beating her up.

I pressed my hand on her shoulder and slammed her against some lockers.

She lifted her head up. Her hazel eyes met my dark brown eyes. She starred at me for a while with a blank look. Then gave me a small smile. This bitch.

Gently she pushed my hand off her shoulder. She shock her head and walked away. Surprised I didn't go after her.

I punched a locker in anger. Ima get that hoe back!
