The alarm clock in my room went off. I realized that today was the start of my fake boogie ass lifestyle. I had my uniform ironed the night before. I'm not gonna lie, the uniform for the girls is cute. When I first saw the uniform I was shook. I expected it to be one of those basic ass uniforms at private schools in the heights. A basic ass white shirt with basic ass khakis paired with basic ass sweater. Lexington Academy uniform looks like something off of Gossip Girl.

"Amiyah? You up?" Leo yelled.

"Yea, I'm up!" I screamed back.

"You might wanna start getting ready, I have early basketball practice"

"Oh, you're taking me. I thought there was a bus around here?"

"Bus? At Lexington? There's no school bus to get Lexington. Most kids there drive they ass to school. Those who don't have a license or car get an Uber or Lyft there."

Of course, they drive to school. They're rich why the fuck would they step foot in a school bus? When they could just drive? They probably take their Mercedes Benz and Rolls Royce to school.

"Okay, let me go get ready"

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you outside"

Of all the times I went to school Elias only took me 4 times. He was never patient. He would always say "if you not out there by the time I get there I'm leaving yo ass". The first time he said it to me I thought he was just talking shit, but he kept his word. He actually left me home. I didn't go to school that day.

So for Leo to give me a ride to school and for me, I'm thankful.

———————————————————————————

After I put on my uniform and curled my hair I sprayed on my favorite perfume—Victoria's Secret Bare Vanilla Noir. I looked good. I looked the part. I left my room and walked my fat ass to the kitchen to get some food. I saw Larsa making oatmeal. She had the table covered with all types of breakfast food.

"Morning Larsa" I smiled.

"Oh! Amiyah how was your first night? Did you sleep well?" She smiled back.

"Yea, my first night was good"

"I know Leo is driving and his practice is early so I put your breakfast in a takeout box. Not really how I wanted your first breakfast with us to be but..." She chucked.

She handed me the takeout box and a bottle of orange juice.

" No, this is fine. Thank you."

"You guys should probably get going, it's a 15-minute drive down there."

" Thanks, see you later"

"Have a good first day of school Amiyah!" She yelled.

When I walked into the driveway my mouth dropped. This boy really out here stuntin on these hoes. Couldn't be me.

" Leo! I know this is not your car" I chuckled.

"Why is it hard to believe that this is all me?" he motioned to the matte black car.

"Okay, I see you."

His car was . Something you would see in a music video.

"So you just standing there? You not coming in?" He laughed.

I opened the door and gently sat down in the seat. It was even nicer inside. Leather seats, fancy drink compartments. I'm not gonna lie I was a bit nervous about the ride to school, Larsa said it was a 15-minute drive and sometimes car rides can get awkward real fast. It wasn't awkward with Leo. He blasted Young Thug's Just How it is. He recited the lyrics word for word.

Ooh-woo, diamonds peek-a-boo

Ooh-woo, I done fucked her crew

Ooh-woo, I done did the robbin'

I done did the jackin', now I'm full rappin'

I put on my brothers, I put on my bitch

You know where the bag at, tell me where it is

I came from rags to riches, I'm the shit

I can no longer disguise it, bitch, 'cause I'm rich

I got cars galore, lil' bitch, 'cause I'm rich

I was gonna rap along with him, then I realized the song hit different when you actually have money. So I sat this one out.

"So........ what should I expect going into this?" I inquired.

" Well..... I'm sure you know that the kids at Lexington are..."

" Rich?"

"No- well yeah"

"Uncultured? racist?"

"Yes, look all I'm trying to say is going to a school like Lexington, you might experience some culture shock. You may not like it at first, shoot I didn't even like it, but it takes some time to get used to."

"Okay".

I was getting nervous now.

"Since you're the new kid now. Expect questions. A lot of questions. More than usual. Especially from the girls. Girls at that school are nosy as hell. They want to know your whole life story."

"Got it"

"I almost forgot, who are your teachers?"

I opened my backpack and shuffled through my notebooks. I finally found the sheet of paper. I pulled my schedule out.

"Carlson, Brown, Sundell, Balciero, Moller, and Pixly"

" Carlson is chill. Just do what you suppose to and it won't be a problem. Brown loves to hear herself talk. It's nice if you don't wanna do shit that day, but when it comes to presentations and notes she's annoying as hell. Sundell doesn't do shit. All he does is give out packets. Balciero is a big fan of participation. If you are engaged in his class and participate when he asks you will most likely pass his class. Moller is disrespectful as hell. That lady will find any reason to pick on you. Nobody is safe in that class. Word of advice: take a seat in the front of the classroom. She's more lenient to the kids who sit in the front of the classroom. I had to learn that shit the hard way. Pixly is every student's favorite teacher. Students tell him all of their dumbass problems. Which is nice because he doesn't judge. In class, he doesn't give a fuck what you do as long as you not doing it when he's teaching. If you do he will cuss you out, he's not mean like Moller, he's just honest."

"That's some good information to know" I nodded.

"You'll be good" He reassured me.

He looked at his watch and then he looked back at me.

"Hey look, I gotta go to basketball practice, but I'll see you around"

"Yea, thanks for the ride and the advice, I appreciate it"

"Yea no prob"

I opened his car door and headed toward the main entrance. Once I entered the building I thought I was inside a mall.

"Wow," I whispered.

It was 7:17. Classes didn't start until 8:15, I decided to take some time to explore this big ass school. Everything in this school was either new or about to be renovated. Back at the heights, we were trying to get a new basketball court and new equipment for basketball teams. Due to budget cuts, we weren't able to. The first thing I wanted to look for was my locker. If I can't find these classes, the one thing I should be successful in is finding my locker.

"632,633,634..... 640. Here it is." I whispered.

The lockers had a lot of space. You could fit two people in there. I barely had enough stuff to fill it. I took out all my notebooks from my backpack and placed it at the top. I grabbed my pens and placed them up there as well. I was concentrated until I heard someone panting next to me. I turned my head slightly to get a glance at who it was. He was tall. He looked like he stood about 6'6. He had dark, brown hair. He was fine. I, personally have never been a white man's whore, but today the day that it might change. Once he saw me looking, I focused my concentration back on organizing six notebooks in my locker.

"Welcome to Lexington," he said.

His voice is deep. like

I turned my head around again.

" Is it that obvious?" I asked.

"Well, you're here at 7:28 putting your notebooks in your locker. It's more than obvious," He smiled.

"Right." I smiled back.

"I'm Evan by the way."

"Hey, I'm Amiyah"
