"Come on now Nia I don't got all day. Niggas don't know why you don't just stay home." Trey yelled from downstairs.

Nia was busy spraying setting spray on her face. Grumbling under her breath as her brother pressed her to hurry up. "I'm not missing school Trey! Here I come!"

Nia hated being rushed but she knew her brother wouldn't leave her. If he did she'd complain to him all day. Trey knew Nia hated missing school, she always felt like you miss one day and your years behind. She didn't care if she was thirty minutes late already, that didn't mean she was about to miss the whole day.

Finally Nia got up from her vanity and made her way across the room to grab her book bag and slip her glasses on her face.

"About Damn time." Trey said as soon as Nia was at the bottom of the steps. Her older brother was always rushing her like he had an actual job to check into everyday.

Trey was a drug dealer, always mobile when he wanted to be and made good money off it. He took care of Nia and his mother even though they both hated where his money came from but still loved Trey despite his occupation.

"Can we just go! I'm already late." Nia says as she rushed to grab her lunch bag out the fridge, a bagel she made earlier in hand along with a large water bottle. Her hands were filled as she made her way to her brother's black hellcat already heated up in the cold weather.

It didn't take long for Nia to get to school. Only around 15 minutes. She had finished her breakfast and put her water bottle in its respective place on the side of her book bag by the time they arrived.

"See you Bug, don't be stressing bout that school shit too much. I love you."

Nia shook her head with a small smile at her brother's mouth. "I love you to Trey."

Then she got out her brother's car, put her book bag on and headed inside the building. Nia didn't really interact as soon as she got into the school building, she just liked to put her beats on and zone out so she could get her brain ready to take in all this information for the day.

Nia was currently three months into her senior year and was doing as good as she possibly could be. All A's at the moment just how she liked it. Nia always had good grades because she worked hard and only ever focused on school. Nothing other than school could affect her so if something was wrong with her it was most likely her schooling.

Nia went to three periods and then it was lunch time. She didn't have any real conversations yet just listened to her music and did her work. In the halls people spoke to her just from knowing her in classes in such and of course she gave them a smile and a small hey before going about her day.

But at lunch that's when she saw her favorite girl, Mya. Mya was always nice to everybody in school, she was everybody's friend. Nia was real selfish about her friends and just anyone she was close with but she didn't do that with Mya since she knew no doubt that Mya would still flourish with everyone and she wasn't one to hold anyone back. Deep down Nia wanted someone to be selfish about her how she is about everyone else that matters.

"Myaaa"

"Niaaa"

The girls laughed and hugged one another as if they didn't see each other just yesterday. Nia went right on and sat next to Mya who was sitting with some of her other friends. All Mya other friends spoke to Nia since they all were pretty cool Nia was just only close with Mya.

"Girl was you late again this morning?" Mya questioned while picking around at the nasty school lunch on her plate that she was not about to eat.

"Yes I wanted to finish my homework and eat breakfast. I didn't miss much though got right into it you know." Nia shrugged it off like it was nothing and it really wasn't to her. Mya already knew that to, nodding right with her.
