I love Fridays. I really dont know why I just do. Fridays to me is like a gateway to freedom. Friday is a gateway to all my problems. No school. No insults. No family. "Hey beautiful" I said to China . "Every Friday you be happy find out you be getting the dick" she said laughing. "What girl no I can't be happy on Friday" I said laughing. "No you can't yo ass be happy every Friday" she said laughing. China and I talked and ate lunch. "Monday I'm going on a diet" I said. "Girl for what ? Terra what you got to loose you are PHAT ma PRETTY HOT AND THICK and trust me ain't nothing wrong with a little extra cause I love my ass and thighs" China said smacking her thighs. I smiled at her comment. "Baby girl love yourself fuck what other people got to say at the end of the day it's your life not theirs" she said to me. I got up and threw away my half eaten lunch. I'm always wasting food. I looked at myself "well not enough" I said under my breathe. I grabbed my no name bag and on the other hand China grabbed her designer bag. She always be dressing nice and shit. She live in the hood but her shit look like a condo.

We walked went to gym. Today the gym teacher made everyone play volleyball. So the coach splited us up. Me and China moved to were he would pick us to be on the same team. We ended up on my sister boyfriend Rari (raw-ri) team. She seen I was on his team and gave me a mean mug."You going down babe" Nikki said to Rari. He laughed and shook his head no. "Girl he is so fine" China said. I had to admit he was. Than again he was probably stuck up like the rest so he lost points for that. He stood about 6'4. Skinny with waves in his head. He was dark skin with pitch black eyes and pretty white teeth. He had tattoos, but I could never read them because I never been that close to him. I guess he seen me staring so he looked at me. I turned my head so quick. I was so embarrassed. "Damn bitch we got caught" China said. I laughed. "Chris your brother yes he can get it" she said. "Ew" I said. Honestly Chris wasn't ugly he just did unnecessary shit. Why want a man who do dumb shit all the time. When the ball went up. Rari was all over the court, but he wasn't the only thing I was watching bounce all over the court if you know what I mean. His dick was everywhere. I knew China was looking, because her smile was so big and cheesy. She so damn freaky. When the game was over. I heard laughing and someone said "hit the fat ass pig" than they threw the ball and hit me so hard in my face. I put my hands over my face and ran into the girls locker room. China yelled my name but I didn't stop so she ran after me. I went into the bathroom and I already knew who threw it. I didn't talk I just sat there with my hands on my face. "Why your sister such a bitch I do not like her Terra let me beat her ass for the one time" China said. "Yea me either at this point go ahead" I said looking in a mirror. My cheek was red and eye was stinging to bad I knew later on it would swell up. We heard the door open up and than seen someone come in. "You good" Rari said to me. "Yea my girl straight you need to control your girl on god if we was out of school I'll scrap over my homegirl" China said.

"Was talking to Terra" he said basically dismissing China. "Yes I'm fine" I said trying to hold back my tears of anger.

"Can we get a minute" he said to China. "Scream if you need me" she said mugging him than walking out. "Your own personal body guard" he said making me crack a smile. "Some like that" I said. "Can I see" he said moving my hand from my face. He went into the freezer and pulled out a ice pack. He put it to my eye and held it. "Thank you" I said to him. He looked me in my eyes. Than I couldn't hold back anymore. The tears fell. "What's wrong" he said. "Nothing just don't understand what I ever did for her not to like me" I said. Before he could talk the bell rung. "Babe you in here" I heard Nikki say. "Yea back here" he said. "Awe well come on babe it was a accident she a big girl I don't want to be late for my hair appointment" she said. He nodded "you got it" he said looking at me. I nodded my head yea. He let go and I replaced my hand were his was. When he left with Nikki. She flipped me off in advance. I rolled my eyes and left out the gym. China was waiting on me. We left the school and went straight to her house. "Hay Terra" Nikki moma said. She said grabbing my hand spending me in a circle. I love being over here. Its fun. Nikki and her moma got that bond were every mother and daughter dreamed of. "Y'all hungry" she said. "No ma'am" I said. China grabbed my arm and we went into her room. She slammed her bedroom door and locked it. She pulled out a rello and some weed. We always smoke when I come over here so this isn't anything new. I rolled the blunt because China a lazy roller. I grabbed the lighter and let the weed ease my soul. She played our favorite song. Lay up by Future. I passed the blunt to China. Once it was finished we was baked ass fuck. We walked to the corner store being goofy ass hell. China be hilarious when she high. We bumped right into Chris he was with his friends. He looked me dead in my eyes. He knew I was high. I sped past him. "Wassup" my brother friend said to China. "Sup" she said. "You trying to come to this little party tomorrow " he said. "Yea we might show up" she said looking at me. He looked at me than nodded "bet see y'all there" he said giving China a flyer. When they left the store I grabbed the flyer out her hand.

"I guess we're going to a party tomorrow" I said rolling my eyes.
