"Hustle" *Riana*
972 Words
As I sit back and daydream about life and what it would be like if my mom was still here, the school bell rung indicating that it was now time to go home.. finally, I mean I am a smart girl in all but I didn't like being here so glad I only have a few months to graduate.
"Hey b***h, you day dreaming again?" ...My Friend Lauren said as she walked up to me in the hallway.
"Wassup b***h, you in my business again?" I snapped back.
Although, Lauren and I were different in so many ways she still the only friend I have we've been friends for four years. Lauren is beyond gorgeous every guy at Winsor High School wanted a piece of her. She stood 5'2, light brown complexion, long hair and her shape is A1 although she wore tight clothes to grab attention she was still beautiful.
"Riana, girl so you know Zipsey having a big party tonight at his place I think we should go."
"Nah, Lauren I'll sit this one out you can go though"..
"yeah yeah , b***h that's what you always say cmon we're 17 this is our last year of high school and you wanna be lame. I got clothes at my house you can wear you would be so much prettier if you stop hiding your booty' I mean your beauty.. Lauren and I both started laughing.
"b***h , you're nuts!" I told her. Then, I heard someone clear their throat and tap me on the shoulder I turned around to see "Hustle" his real name Nipsey Hussle but everyone called him "Hustle" and I never cared to find out why. I had to admit he's so fine about 6'3 ft tall he keeps his hair styled into braids and majority of his body were covered in tattoo's for him to still be in High School he was a "Gold Mind".
"Well, you just gone stand there and stare or you gone speak to a nigga?"
Shit! I'm daydreaming again!
"Oh, Hey Hustle I thought you were talking to Lauren." I said as I walked off. He grabbed my hand and spun me around now we were face to face. I looked to see Lauren giving me that "Oooo b***h" look.
"So, I'm having a lil party tonight at my crib was wondering if you and Lauren wanted to stop by" He asked.
As bad as I wanted to I knew I couldn't.
"No" I murmured while holding down my head.
Lauren looked at me with that "Wow, b***h" face but I ignored it.
"Well, if yall change yall mind here you go" he handed me an invitation card and walked off.
"b***h what the hell wrong with you?" Lauren quietly screamed in my ear as we were walking out the school.
"Lauren, I have to watch my little sister tonight while my dad is at work".
"b***h your sister is 15 years old plus you have been watching her for the longest now your mom can watch her get out and have fun!" Lauren went on and on.
Truth is, my mom died a year ago my dad says it was from an infection that took over her whole body but, for some reason I got this
gut feeling that wasn't the case. Me and my sister didn't even get to attend her funeral because my dad said it was best for us to remember her how she was alive then seeing her lay in a casket. It hurt not being able to burry your own mother but it is what it is. I never told Lauren or anyone else about her death because honestly, I'm still coping with that.
"Cmon girl, I'll give you a lift home" Lauren said.
She walked up to her brand new 2018 ' A6 Audi car Lauren mom is a Nurse and her Father is a Retired NBA player who now coaches the Atlanta Hawks which means Lauren is very spoiled.
"Nah girl I'm fine I need to walk anyways" I lied. I'm a little embarrassed about the way I lived so I avoided Lauren seeing my neighborhood every chance I got.
"I really feel like a fake ass b***h if I just let you walk home and I have a car so ima ask one mo-"
"I'm Fine b***h" I cut her off.
"Ight then shoot yourself I'll see you Monday since there's no partying tonight but you can always call me if you change your mind I'm one call awa-"
"Not going b***h you can though" I cut her off again.
"Ugh, b***h Bye!" She started her engine and pulled off.

I cant even lie I liked walking home it gave me plenty time to think and the longer it take to get home the longer I'm away from "Him" My Father. Luther Cordell Robinson, I know I shouldn't but I hate that man with everything in me, growing up everything was perfect him and my mother, Jackie Ann Robinson were like Bonnie & Clyde Inseparable at least that's what I thought. We was one big happy family until, one day my Father snapped he started beating my mom. Me and my sister would hide in the closet to escape from the loud screams coming from my mom because he would be raping her. They were married for 10 years it's disappointing how much damage drugs can do to a person, Drugs turned my Father into a man I once knew but no longer know. And I believe drugs are the reason my mom died. I honestly think my father killed her every since my mother died I keep a close eye on my little sister Jasmine. I don't trust my father and if something happened to her I couldn't forgive myself.
