TUESDAY

8:00 AM

"What time is mom coming?" Spencyr asks my dad. I haven't talked to him and kinda don't plan on it because it's fuck him. "She'll be home when you get home from school. Now get there." He says rudely to her. "Alrighty then." She says getting up and walking to the door. I got off the couch and followed her. "He's such a dick bro." Spencyr says as soon as the door closed. "Thats your daddy." I sighed while waiting for Rue at our "post". "I just don't get why be rude to me? I didn't do anything but ask a fucking question." Spencyr says getting really butthurt over the fact dad brushed her off. I looked at her. "So what he'll change his attitude when mom gets in. 'Oh Karlie I tried. I just don't know what to do with her." I say imitating my dad infront of my mom. "Your moms coming?" Rue says coming up behind me. "Oh yeah my dad told me last night." I say to her. "Oh shit, he's lost it." She says. I looked at Spencyr. "Told ya." I say to her as I started to walk to the store.

"So I'll most likely spend the night at your place tonight." I say to Rue. "If mom will let her out of her sight." Spencyr says. I rolled my eyes. "My window will be open." Rue says. "You're the best." I say to her. "I heard you and Fez are back cool." Rue says. "He told you?" I asked her. "Yeah, I ran by the store after school and he told me. You seemed to put him in a good mood for the whole day he was smiling so hard." Rue says laughing. "What can I say, that's my dude." I say before walking into the store. "Heyyy." I say as I saw Fezco. "Heyyy lady." He says hugging me. "Wassup Rue and baby Chey." He says over my head. "Now im baby Chey..." Spencyr scoffed while walking around the store. "So you ready to see your mom?" Fezco asked me. "Not really... But at the same time yes." I say to him. "You feel any better?" He asked me while rubbing my arm. "No but im not in as much pain." I tell him. "You want something?" He says. I looked around for Rue. "If you have something on you right now so you know who." I say nodding my head in Rue's direction. He dug into his pockets. He pulled out a pill and looked at it. "Uhh, oxy or perc?" He asked me. I looked at him like how am I supposed to know? "Take the oxy and some snacks." He says putting the pill in my hand. Does this mean im taking drugs from my boyfriend? Nah im just tryna NOT be in pain all day. "Chey we gotta go." Spencyr says bagging her own stuff up. "Why is she in such a rush?" He whispered to me. "She scared of moms and hasn't seen her in years." I laughed walking to a fridge. "I just have a feeling she's gonna pick us up after school." She says. I stopped and looked at Fezco. "Don't say that..."I say walking back to the front. "Hey, don't say I told you so when she's parked outside. Let's go." She says walking out with Rue. "See ya Fez." Rue says. "Alright Rue, you want the perc just in case you don't come back?" He asked me. "Didn't you say you didn't want me hooked on pain pills?" I joked with him. "I know but I don't like seeing you bent over in pain. Plus I'll cut you off." He says putting my stuff in a bag. I laughed. "I'll text you." I say hugging him

11:45am

"Cheyenne?" Brynn whispered. I paused my show and rolled my chair out of my cell I mean room they put me in. "Oh my god im starving." I say to her. "Rue wanted Burger King so... We got Burger King!" She smiled while holding up a bag and a drink. "Thats fine I need something." I say eating my fries. "How's it in here?" She asked me. "Boring. "Just doing my work" and watching real housewives." I say to her. "Don't they take your phone?" She laughed. "I told them my dad took it." I shrugged. "God I love you." She shook her head laughing. "I gots to do me." I say hitting my chest. "Well imma get out of here before I end up in here. Update me if anything happens." She says. "Will do girl." I say turning back to the desk.

Honestly I just woke up about fifteen minutes ago. I.S.S. is fucking ass. They're supposed to take your phone and do any missing work for the day. But if i was suspended i'd be on my phone and not do my work. It's kinda ass backwards in here if you ask me. I heard someone knock behind me. "Wassup" i say not looking back. "Wow no look back" I hear behind me. It was Nate. "Don't really care wassup." I say still not looking at him. "How's it in here?" He asked me. "Boring as shit." I sighed. "You know your dad was talking about you at dinner last night." He tells me. "He's just like a bitch, messy and keep my name out his mouth." I rolled my eyes. "You know you're his daughter right?" He laughed. "Okay and he's my dad and I don't talk about him like he does me." I say pointing at myself. "But what did he say?" I say leaning back to look at him. He smirked as he looked out the door. "Not to be messy, but he said that you're such a unhinged bitch that needs to be put in a mental asylum." He says. My jaw dropped. "No he did not." I say covering my mouth. "I said I didn't wanna be messy!" He says putting his hands up. "Hi Im Cheyenne clearly we haven't met." I say holding my hand out. "Shut up, but my mom stuck up for you and said someone finally stood up against Maddy-" "You told your mother?!" I standing infront of him. "No she kinda put the pieces together when she saw Maddy Sunday morning and then your dad hearing you got into two fights." He says. I squinted my eyes. "Yea whatever." I say folding my arms. "But why is he so mad at you?" He asked me. "Hell if I fucking know! I tried my best to explain it to him with out arguing but why am I gonna sit there and listen to a punk be little me?" I say shrugging. "I get that." He agrees with me. "He said something about you said you broke him, that pissed him off." He says. "It's because it's the truth. You thought loosing Spencyr was the worst of his worries. Good fucking luck Kian." I scoffed. He laughed at me. "You know my house is always open if you need to get away." He says. I looked at him. "The guest room of course." He says clearing his throat. I nodded. "Thanks..." I say "I guess I gotta get to class. If you and Spence don't wanna walk text me." He says getting up. "Thanks, but pretty sure my moms is picking us up." I say as he walked out. I heard him stop in his tracks. "What?" He comes back. "You have to get to class, tootle-loo." I smile and shoo him off.

I don't know. Nate's and I friendship is kinda weird. We're cool but at the same time we shouldn't. His girlfriend doesn't really like me. And technically my boyfriend can't fucking stand him. But our fathers are like boyfriends and try to blend our fucking families together. It's weird honestly.

2:50 pm

"principal Hayes and im free to go back to class or nah?" I asked as I walked into his office. "Did you do any work today?" He asked me. I looked at him for a minute. "...Yes." I smile while lying. "Like what?" He asked. "My art project and a rough draft on how becoming a housewife is better than a nine to five." I lie right through my teeth. "Yeah you're good. Next time im not going easy on you." He points at me. "Hear you loud and clear." I say walking out the office.

"She's free..." Rue jumps on me. "Honestly would rather go there than to class everyday." I shrugged. "Hmm, thats odd people say its brutal." She says. "Yeah because people give up their phone." I laughed. "Hey Cheyenne?" A girl comes up to me. "Yeah?" I say looking at her. "I just wanted to say thank you for sticking up for me yesterday. It really meant a lot." She says. "That's Christina..." Rue says in my ear. "Oh, yeah no problem." I say nodding. "And im sorry it got you in trouble." She says. "Girl it's all good it was a lil vacation while in hell." I joked. "I made brownies to help with any pain... if you know what I mean." She raises her eyebrow.  My face lit up as  I took the bag with the brownies and snacks with them. "Wow, thank you." I say hugging her. "If you ever need me to fuck someone else up. Let me know." I point and joke. "Will do. Catch ya around. Bye Rue." She waves at Rue. I looked at Rue. "You see what sticking up for people do. It gets you drugs." She says walking out with me. 

As Rue and I walked out my dads truck was parked right in front. Spencyr was in the front looking at me. "Gia is in the car, she said she can take Rue home so don't even try walking." Spencyr says. I tipped my head back. "Time to meet momma." I say to Rue while walking to the car. I got in and I gave my mom a smirk in the rear view mirror. "Mother." I say. "Daughter." She says at me in the mirror. "How was... your flight?" I say looking around the car. "Hi Kj. Gia"I say looking at him. "Hey." He waves. "Heyyy" Gia side hugs me. "Decent." She says. "This is Rue by the way." I say. "Hi Rue, how are you?" My mom trying to stay calm. "I'm good and you?" Rue politely says. "I don't know why you gripping the steering wheel ma'am I literally didn't do anything wrong." I say getting annoyed already. "Where do you stay Rue?" My mom asked Rue. "Over on Paddock." She tells her. "Oh, right by the girls." My mom says. I scoffed and shook my head. 

It was quiet on the way to Rues. I just know im about to get my ass handed to my once Rue steps out the car. "It's the house with the white garage." Rue says. My mom pulls into their driveway. "Thank you Ms. Calloway." Gia and Rue says. "Oh please call me Janelle." She says. She hates being called by my dads last name. Rue walked over to my moms window. "Brynn and I were a few feet away she was really sticking up for a girl and two- Excuse my French bitches tried to jump her. Pretty sure they're both off the tennis team now because of yesterday." Rue says trying to help me out. "Thank you Rue, it's her and her father we gotta get through and see if she's gonna stay here or go back home with me." She tells Rue. Mines, Rue, and Spencyr's jaw dropped. "You're joking." I scoffed. "Who's laughing? Not me, not Rue, not Kj?" She says looking at me through the mirror. I fake laughed. "We'll see you later Rue." My mom says backing out of the driveway. "You want me to come back just say that." I shook my head as I look out the window. "We'll talk when your dad get's home." She says.

5:23PM

My dad still hasn't said a word to me. He asked how Spencyr day was but not me. Asked how Kj plane trip was and he doesn't even know if it's his son. But that's what you get for being the oldest. A little back story on my parents, They were both young and stupid. I wanna say Janelle was about 16-17 when she met my dad Kian when he was probably the same age or older. A couple months after I know my mom was young when she had me because I vividly remember my moms graduation and she was pregnant with Spencyr. The entire time of baby number two they thought they were having a boy and problems. My dad was hot shit apparently back in the day and we probably got unknown siblings out here. But my mom caught him cheating which made her go into labor early and they found out, surprise its a girl. Hence why sissy got a boy name. I guess they got their life on track after Spencyr was born until they got married. Problems came, drinking came, I wanna say drugs were involved even though I didn't see it I could tell. That's when cps got involved and the best for them was to separate with a child. Dumb as fuck because we were happy together but weren't happy all together. After they separated from my moms point of view she stopped drinking as much, she got a couple jobs to help with bills and she even got a new fling. A few years later they bumped into each other and had a one night stand, while both in two different relationships. That's why and how Kj was conceived and really don't know who his daddy is. And that's the wild wild love story of Janelle and Kian. 

"Hey Chi, dad brought wings and pizza." Kj says coming into my room. "Mkay, let's go." I say getting up and walking behind him. That means Cal and his family is coming over. "Great our extended family is coming." I say with a fake smile on my face as my dad puts out more chairs for them. He just glared at me. "Psycho..." I mumble as I opened the wings. "Go wash your hands." My mom says. I washed my hands and I sat down next to Spencyr. "Have they said anything about me?" I asked her. "Not really just "what are we gonna do with her" that's all" She shrugged. I broke my parents, it's kinda funny because they always take it out of proportion. 

The door bell rang, the Jacobs are here. "Cheyenne can you get the door?" My dad says to me. I gasped as I got up. "Oh my god-" "JUST GO OPEN THE DOOR I DON'T WANNA HEAR NO SHIT!" He snaps at me. "Now you can go open the door." I say sitting back down. Don't fucking yell at me when im about to do something for you, dick. "I got it." Spencyr says getting up. Me and my dad glared at each other. I pointed at me like he was about to say something but he just shook his head. "Cal, Marsha, Nate and, Aaron are here." Spencyr says coming back the table with Nate sitting across from me.

Our parents brought the plates, pizza and wings over to the table. "Everyone bow our heads and say Grace, Kj." My mom says They try to play like were all great by saying grace. But I know we only say grace when shits about to go down. "God is great, God is good. Thank you for our food, Amen." Kj says. I lost my appetite and nor don't have one. "So I know this dinner is about me, so if im an unhinged bitch which parent did I get it from? The parent who peaked in high school? Or the one who has her life semi on track?" I say looking confused. "Who the fuck told you that?" My dad says. I know Nate's shitting bricks right now. I shrugged. "Did you know your vent is right outside my room?" I asked him. "No the fuck it isn't." He says. "Wanna fucking bet it is?" I asked. "You know what maybe I said it maybe I didn't but you didn't get it from fucking me." He says. "Oh so you're saying it's from me?" My mom jumps in. "No I-" "Because she definitely got it from you Mr. Bitches." My mom says getting up to get paper towel. I smirked. "I gotta question for you though." My dad asked me. I tilted my head. "Why and what is at the store that you go to every day?" He asked me. Oh fuck. "I can't go to the store?" I play dumb. "Everyday before school, after school? What's there?" He asked me. "Food." I say. My dad was growing angry he was clenching his fists. "I'm not fucking playing Cheyenne." He says. "Neither am I, why do you go to Cal's house every other day for dinner? Is it because it's food there?" I say fucking with him. 

"So you don't have a personal friendship with the young drug dealing clerk?" Cal jumps in. The way he described Fezco just pissed me off. "What?" I squint my eyes at him. "Are yall watching me now or something? I broke you that bad that you have to have you and your boyfriend fucking follow me to school?" I scoffed. "You didn't fucking break me Cheyenne, you broke the trust between us-" "WAS THERE EVER ANY TO BEGIN WITH?! I HAVEN'T DONE NOTHING SO FUCKING BAD TO WHERE I FEEL LIKE MY OWN FUNKY FATHER IS ABOUT TO KICK ME THE FUCK OUT." I yelled. "Oh Nate by the way they're trying to make me leave..." I "whispered" to him and I could see his heart drop in his eyes. "What the fuck? For what? She got in a couple fights so what you can't tell me big dog you didn't get into a couple fights in high school?" Nate asked him. "Did, and got his ass whooped." My mom says grabbing another piece of pizza. "Yeah Cheyenne has a smart ass mouth but who doesn't? You definitely got one. And you Miss... She's your spitting image twin so I know the mouth is no difference. Look im saying anything else but don't make her leave she's kinda fun." He says looking at me. I think im gonna be sick.
