Nakaya Greenfield, 17
Seattle, Washington
"Get the fuck up!" My dad slaps me out my sleep, I get up "put some clothes on hoe!" He spits at me leaving my room,
I take a shower and get dressed for school, my mom died when she gave birth to me and my dad punishes me for it,
He says it's my fault and I killed the love of his life, he abuses me physically and mentally,
I have nowhere else to go tho I have no family anywhere they all moved,
I walk outside my room and grab my phone, "come here!" My dad says from his room I can tell he's been drinking,
"I gotta go!" I say leaving the house, I walk to school I don't catch the bus cause all the kids mess with me and call me names,
I don't really say anything about it cause it's no point, I get to school "Nakaya!" I hear a familiar voice call my name,
I turn my head and see my cousin Dee I run to him, "hey Dee!" I say hugging him Dee moved to Texas with his dad when we were 13,
"Hey wassup I been tryna call you but you ain't answering!" He says, "yea my phone been off I gotta pay my bill when I get payed today!" I say,
"I'm back down here!" He says "good I have no friends here!" I say,
"I made a few friends but everybody act how they did in middle school!" He says, "fake as fuck!" I say walking to my locker,
"Ight ima catch you later!" He says, "Ight!" I say eating a fruit roll up,
I walk to my class and people look at me as I sit down, I haven't talked to anyone this whole summer,
I really was just trying to survive working and minding my business, Dee walks in with a group of boys laughing,
Dee comes sit by me making the boys sit by me as well, I put my head down feeling them looking at me,
"You good?" Dee ask me I nod my head, "aye Dee who she?" One of the boys behind me ask,
"My cousin!" He says "Ms Greenfield would you like to answer number 10?" My teacher ask me,
Everyone looks at me "no!" I say putting my head down, "you know she's slow!" This girl Heather says,
I put my head back down "she killed her momma while she gave birth to her she probably slow from almost dying with her momma!" Another girl says,
