I need some real good loving

Cause I'm troubled by the things that I see

I need some real good loving

Cause ain't nobody been around here loving on me

The music plays on my phone as I do my hair.. I'm getting ready for my last day of school in Chicago . My dad got this job offer that he just couldn't pass up so now the whole family is moving to Atlanta.

I'm the oldest sibling in the house and I'll do whatever it takes to keep my little brother safe. He can be an ass sometimes but I love him. Then there's my mom. She's an art teacher. Not like fancy or anything she just gives classes out at our local community center. My dad is a businessman. He's real secret about his job so don't ask. It pays the bills & that's good enough for me.

I straightened my hair down so it wouldn't be afro-ish today. I wanted to be cute for my last day.. I pulled out my cross crop top & my ripped high waisted jeans & put them on.. It was kinda cool so I put on a black hoodie over it. I did my make up & admired myself before I left the mirror. I loved my mahogany skin. People be sleeping on brown skin girls but I believe we the best 😍. I grabbed my forces & walked out the door to my car.

As you can tell I'm old enough to drive. 17 to be exact. I drive to school and saw my best friend. She was wearing all black. The fuck? "What the fuck you got on man?!" I say. "I'm mourning a loss you heartless motherfucker." I laugh. "I'm sorry. Who died hun?" I say as I put my arm around her shoulder. "My relationship with my best frieendddd" she dropped to the floor & start "crying" like a baby. "Get off that dirty ass floor dumbass!" We both laugh. "I swear ya momma dropped your retarded ass on the ground!" "Alexandra Monae Jones!" she yelled. "Tanya Shanae Reynolds!" We both cracked up as we walked to our first class.

"But real shit A.. Imma miss your mean ass." my guy best friend Treyvon says.. We were at lunch now. "Awww big head has a heart" I bat my eyelashes & pout. " Y'all can't be going soft on me now.." I look at them. "Hell nah!" Treyvon yells. "Treyvon Sands!" The principle snapped. "Shit.." He mumbled under his breath. Me & Tanya laughed. "MY OFFICE! NOW!!" The principle yelled. "P.O.P!! Hold It Down!" The whole cafeteria laughed..

"Here." Treyvon says as he hands me a heart locket. I open it & see a picture of Me, Tanya , & Treyvon.. My eyes started to water. "Don't cry baby girl. " Treyvon says as he walks closer to me. I wrap my arms around his neck & he wraps his around my waist. "I love you baby girl." "I love you too T.. Be safe in those streets. Okay?" I get in my Challenger. "I gotchu ma." He says closing my door. "Promise me nigga." I say with mean ass look on my face. "I promise. Imma miss that look too." He laughed showing off his perfect teeth & dimples. I gotta say Treyvon was a fine ass dude but I only saw him as a brother.. I let up the window & drove off. Imma miss this shitty ass school.
