The Story Of Us

Zara

"Wake up Zara. Time for school." My mom yells through my door.

Ugh, why lord why. Why does school start so damn early? You know scientifically speaking our brains isn't fully functional until like 10:00 in the morning. Just stating the facts. While I lazily get out of bed, I get out my phone to facetime Jordyn.

Facetime Convo:

"What it is bitch" -J.J

"Did you get your order in yet?"- Me

"No, not yet and I'm surprised cuz FashionNova usually ain't late. Cuz I need to look fine as fuck tonight for my man." J.J

Jordyn has been seeing this rich guy for about two months and she seems happy. He buys her things even though she refuses them, he takes her out on fancy dates, and according to her good at fucking. It's a 3-in-1 deal.

"Where he taking you this time?"- Me

"Providence and then we going to a movie. Cuz you know I like shit like that." J.J

I can see it in her eyes that she likes him. She is really happy with him despite her home situation. A year ago her dad was killed by a gang called the 'Black Diamonds' he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Since then she's been with the worst foster parents

"Well you know to wrap it up after."- Me

"Bitch you already know. No babies yet."-J.J

"Girl you're right. Well alrighty then let me get dressed and I'll come to pick you up"-Me

"Ok girl bye"-J.J

After I got off the phone with Jordyn I did my morning hygiene which included a warm mini-concert  I mean shower, an intensive skincare routine, and did my makeup. I decided to go with a natural look.  I looked through my closet to find something really cute to wear. I need to cut back on my shopping. I think it's becoming an addiction now.

Oh. Finally. I unhooked a long-shelved black shirt and a pair of red cargo shorts. After I put everything on, I sprayed on my favorite perfume. Ambery Vanilia. Best money well spent. I put on my black Air Jordans and grabbed my purse and car keys.

I walked out of my bedroom and into the kitchen. " Morning baby." My mom said while continuing to drink her coffee and looking at her phone.

"Morning momma, you didn't fix me a cup?"I said to her shocked. She looked up at me from her phone. "Girl, God gave you two hands and ten fingers for a reason," she said then looked back down at her phone. "Wow, mom," I said pretending to be shocked and hurt. She started to laugh.

"Okay, momma. I'll stop by Starbucks or something, have a good day." I kissed her on the cheek and walked out of the door.

"Bye baby," she said and I was out of the door

As I got into my car, crack-head Joe walked up to me. "Hey Z.Z let me hold 5 dollars" he begged. Bitch what.

"You just gon smoke it up, Joe," I replied.

Every time I give this man some money out of the kindness of my heart he goes gives it to a drug dealer.

Like what the fuck. I

could've used that money to buy a cup of coffee or somethin'. "Not this time Z.Z. I changed since last week I-I-I swear." He declared as he scratched his arm.

Yeah sure, you did.

"Look Joe all I got is five dollars. Buy you something to eat or somethin' cause you look like a damn toothpick." I reached into my purse and gave him a dollar and some change. " Thank you, thank you Z.Z."

As he walked off I watched him turn the right corner which is where Craig, our neighborhood drug dealer, lives. Shaking my head, I cranked up my car my Bluetooth connects to my speakers, and Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's WAP come blasting through.

Off to Jordyn's house.

Honk. Honk I blew my horn.

"Damn Jordyn hurry up," I say to myself.

While I'm waiting for her to come out the door I text my dance instructor Nicole that I can teach the class after school because I'm off today.

She replied 'okay'. I look out my window at the sound of yelling. I see Jordyn walking out the front door with a pissed-off expression. "I am so sick of those sick motherfuckers," she screams. Before I ask what happen I look at her outfit for today Her makeup is beautiful and she is wearing a simple white shirt and black jeans outfit with a black and flower print kimono with a pair of white hightop sneakers.

"What happened?" I ask as I pull off from her driveway.

"Michelle took my phone because she says I was being rude and disrespectful to Dave." She revealed.

"Wait why did she say that," I asked because from what Jordyn told me about Dave and from what I have seen for myself he's a rude prevented asshole.

"Okay this morning after I got dressed I went downstairs to get somethin' to eat and Dave ugly ass gon say 'Hey who you looking good for today' and I was like 'Non of yo damn business dude' and miss thang gon walk in and say "Watch who talk to like that" with a nasty ass attitude so I said, "Tell yo nasty ass husband to keep his words and his eyes to his damn self" then the bitch took my phone as punishment" Jordyn even use air quotation on the word punishment.

"Like how am I supposed to call or text Donte tonight." She asked. By her body language and a lotta hand gestures, she is pissed and upset. "J you can use my phone and spend the night over at my house. Cause I know you want to get away from those crazy-ass people."

Before and after her dad died Jordyn always spent the night over at my house.

"Thank you Z. Wait, you off today." She questioned and she has every right to. It is very rare when I'm not working cause I always asking for days even when I don't need it but I took this day off to go to the studio and teach a class.

"Yeah, I'm going to the studio to teach a class," I replied and I'm excited about it.

I see the place that is hell which is technically called high school. I turn in and try to find a parking space. Now the torture begins.

"Let's get our senior year over with," Jordyn said but why do I feel like something gonna happen this year. Maybe something good or maybe something bad. I hope it is the first.
