"It's not that big of a deal mani. Pick your head up" cece, my best friend said through our facetime call

I rubbed my head as i looked up while sitting in my car outside of my new school

"I'm not tryna be here ce...maybe i should drop out" i looked at her

"Maybe you shoulda never swung on a disabled kid" she shrugged

"She's not disabled she just has a lazy eye" i said looking out the window

"Well i think you shoulda just let her words roll off your back like water mani now look..you're expelled and she's prancing around here like some queen" she told me

"A queen with a fucked up line of sight" i mumbled

She shrugged and opened her mascara

"I have to get inside..or i'm gonna be late" i said pulling my purse from the passenger seat

"Love you armani"

"I love you too ciara" i responded then hung up

I put a piece of gum in my mouth then got out pushing my fingers through my jumbo curls

When i walked in the school, it looked so regular

Long halls lined with lockers

Teachers and staff in the halls

Students everywhere

I just started to walk around, looking for the office because i'd rather die than to ask somebody for help out here

After about 5 minutes i was face to face with the secretary who had a little brown bun and big glasses

"Did you not come here already to make sure you were enrolled?" She asked me

"My mom talked on the phone with someone for 4 hours yesterday..they did all of that and told her i was gonna be able to come today" i told her

"Well I wasn't here yesterday. Who did she talk to?" She sighed

I put my hands together and pursed my lips

Is she forreal?

"I wasn't on the phone with her..I don't know" i said

She looked at me for a second then looked at her computer again

"What's your name?"

"Armani carver" i said

She typed it in

"Carter?"

She said

I just turned around and walked out

At that point i felt like she just wasn't listening on purpose
