YAMIEK

Monday 7:20 am

"Bitch we're gonna be fucking late— WE ARE fucking late. GET OUT OF THE SHOWER" I banged on the bathroom door yelling at my sister

"IM ALMOST FINISHED YOU HOOD BOOGER, I TOLD YOU I HAD TO WASH MY HAIR" She yelled back at me.

I sighed heavily trying not to spazz out, "WASH YO ASS TOO HOE" I yelled at her one more time before going back to my closet.

Kika yelled something back but I was already too far from the bathroom door to hear her. It's been two days since I asked Silas to stay with me since his parents kicked him out and it's going well.. kinda?

"Baby you gotta get up," I said loud enough for him to hear me but all I got was a groan as he still laid on the couch not moving.

"Silas I'm really not about play with you, GET YOUR ASS UP" I yelled now throwing a stuffed animal at him.

It seemed like I'd been yelling a lot this morning, but it's not my fault. If people would wake up and get dressed when asked the first time or took a shower the night before we really wouldn't be in this position.

"Okaaaay! Damn.." Silas whined slowly getting up from the couch.

"About fucking time" I cursed underneath my breath as I picked up a pair of black flared pants and a cropped sweater with big sleeves.

The shower turned off FINALLY and I silently thanked the universe. Some, and i say that very loosely, of my anxiety went away while I got changed in my closet door still open not really caring to think about privacy.

Kika thankfully came out of the bathroom more than half of the way done with being ready. I went to the bathroom with Silas trailing behind me like a damn puppy so that he can get dressed too.

He already had some clothes at our house from past stays so he basically had an outfit already prepared for him. While Silas got dressed I started doing my hair but not really trying much since I put that bitch in a low ponytail.

A bitch doesn't have time

After finishing slicking down my hair I do some half-assed baby hairs and swish around some mouthwash before spitting it out. My boyfriend said fuck doing his hair and did the same thing as me with the mouthwash.

I grab my bag, put on my shoes, then picked my keys up from the key holder. "Alright let's go for real for real," I said making sure Kika and Silas were ready.

"Let's bounce, a pimp is stressed," Kika said putting her shades on whilst walking past me with her pen in hand already hitting it.

"Perfect," I said following her down the stairs

The three of us got outside, as I walked to the driver side I heard Kika say, "You're in back" and pointed to Silas whilst opening the passenger door"

Silas smacked his lips, "Man iian wanna be in front anyways" my boyfriend rolled his eyes as he got in the back.

"Yall are sad, bruh" I shook my head laughing at the two while also getting into the car, turning it on and reversing out the driveway.

As perusal, Kika had aux and was playing music. "It's lowkey brick outside," I said turning the heat on low.

"When in out hoodie out bitch" Kika said putting up the hood to her sweatshirt and hitting her pen.

"Yall going to the fair this year?" Silas asked looking out the window

"Yeah, I want to" Kika nodded

"It's the one time of year I actually feel something," I say getting excited at the thought of the rides and food.

"Yeah, the drugs" Kika laughed

7:50 am

We somehow weren't terribly late. The three of us sprinted from the parking lot to the doors of the school. None of us bothered to go to our lockers (as if we even used them), we just ran to our assigned classes before the late bell rung.

I slid into my art class back door and sneaked to my seat before the teacher came in to take attendance and start class.

"Bitch you barely made it" Kat whispered to me, I've known Kat basically my whole life but we were closer when we were younger.

We had no real falling out we just simply stopped talking slowly. Our friendship simmered out.

"I know" I said letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Our teacher came in not too long after the bell rang and closed both doors to the classroom. Normally this is where I would put my head down and take a nap but I like art so I paid attention and participated in every lesson.

Today was the first day our class was starting on our projects, it was based on abstract art and we needed to make an abstract-inspired painting but it has to have an emotion behind it. I already knew mine would be anger since I feel that the most out of all of my emotions.

I actually really liked my art teacher, she's super sweet and has been my teacher for art since freshman year. She was pretty young for a typical teacher, I believe in her early twenties. I think she graduated from some art school in New York if I remember correctly.

"Good Morning Classss" My teacher sang to us and we mimicked her, "Good Morning Ms. Taylorr"

She didn't like being called by her last name as typical teachers would so she told us to use her first name. "Sooo, you all know today is the first day of starting your projects," Ms. Taylor smiled excitedly, "They will be due two weeks from today and graded by the end of that week."

While my teacher explained what the goals of our projects would be, there was a knock at the door.

One of our classmates closest to the door opened it and Cassie walked through shyly. Ms. Taylor looked a little confused as to why she was there until Cassie explained to her that the counselor switched her classes around so now she was in art during this period.

"Well, Cassie since you moved from fourth period to first you can sit near your normal spot is" Our teacher said pointing to the empty seat next to me.

Cassie noded and sat next to me and across from Kat at our table. There were three to four people at each table since our class wasn't really that big. For some reason, not a lot of people took art, it's a really easy credit so thats a loss their part.

"Hey, guys" Cassie smiled sitting down.

Cassie and I aren't as close as Maddy and I but we're still fairly good friends. I didn't know her until the last semester of freshman year, we would always talk about boys or clothes, I guess you could call it a typical girl friendship though she was the only one I did this with.

I smiled back at her along with Kat, "Hey Cass" we greeted her.

"Why did you get switched to this period?' I asked confused because I didn't know they actually did that, heard about it but never experienced it.

"I guess they had too many people in my Child development class so they just switched my periods" She explained while fixing her lip gloss using her phone camera, one of the things Cassie and Maddy had in common was always keeping up with their appearances, but more so Maddy than Cassie. Though it may easily be a tie since Cassie does it for boys whilst Maddy did it for herself.

"Shitt this is a good switch though, class is super easy which is a #win during the morning. Ms. Taylor basically lets us do what we want," Kat said whist doing something on her phone.

I nodded in agreement as I took my sketchbook out of my bag along with my pencil pouch for all of my drawing necessities.

I never used a traditional backpack, they hurt my back and they're too big n bulky. I just bring a big enough tote bag for the books and notebooks I needed for that day.

Life was just more functional that way...now to think about it none of my friends really use a backpack. I mean Silas does but he's a boy, and half the time he doesn't even bring it.

"Yami I wanted to actually ask you something," Cassie said doing the same thing as me and Kat, she pulled out her sketchbook, macbook, and a blue pouch.

Our teachers' rule was we could talk as much as we wanted as long as we did our work at the same time. Being the extra bitch I am, I also take out my Ipad to look up inspiration from other artists, I can't get a good view on my phone and our school computers are basically fossils.

"Go ahead," I said scrolling through the different paintings that google gave to me.

"I'm gonna be nosey and listen to your guy's conversation, but act like I'm not," Kat said to us as she put one earbud in playing her music on low I assume, or just not at all.

Cassie looked a little nervous to ask, she cleared her throat and took a small breath before asking, "Uhm, You and Mckay dated right?"

I shrugged remembering being with him, "Yeah, why?"

Sometimes I forgot that we were together even though it was kinda a long time. From the last semester of 8th grade to the beginning of sophomore year we were together.

"Well him and I are talking now and sometimes it acts.." She trailed off not knowing the correct words to say

"Ignorant? Self-absorbed?" I asked while laughing. I shook my head remembering how much he cared about his image when we were together. I think that was actually when I started doing drugs the most because I was so stressed with being the perfect girlfriend and being the perfect couple.

"I don't know if I would say that- just like..how did he act in your guy's relationship?" Cassie seemed flustered asking this like she didn't want to talk bad about him or more of scared to.

"Well he was nice...he plans good dates and shows enough affection, will tell you all the things you wanna hear which was nice." I explained trying to recall the main points in the relationship, "Sometimes though, he seemed to care too much about his appearance and how the world saw him and us. It felt like the things he would do is just for show. Honestly, I think he means well but he isn't really mature yet" I said trying to put it as nicely as possible, "He's not really the best at emotional support or genuine romance, mostly just lust" I added

Cassie nodded her head taking in everything I said to her, "I see." To be honest, I didn't really know what she wanted to hear but I told her what she needed to hear.

Focusing back on my project I finally found a painting that sparked my interest. I picked up my phone to use the checklist I had made for myself when I saw a notification from Kika.
